- <p>ABSTRACT<br>Growing attention has been paid to International New Ventures (INVs) which are small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) that internationalize shortly after<br>establishment. There has been a considerable volume of research on International New Venture firms, but thus far there has been little research on factors<br>influencing the performance of International New Ventures in the context of Asian economies such as Pakistan. To help to fill these gaps, this thesis examines<br>the major economic and business characteristics of International New Ventures in the surgical instruments industry of Sialkot. The findings show that the<br>government is not taking an interest to promote internationalization activities, but focuses on support only for export promotion. It is also found that<br>International new ventures in the Sialkot surgical industry have a limited number of network relationships with customers and suppliers but have relatively<br>few connections with government agencies. This research also investigates the performance factors that boost the performance of INV firms as the<br>international business experience of managers and the use of networks and the subsequent effect on the capacity of INV firms to perform well in international<br>markets.<br>The results provide evidence of the role of international business experience of managers and the business networks in foreign countries and the<br>Government/Industry support to enhance the performance of INV firms in the international market. The implications of the findings for theory,<br>recommendations, and future research are considered.</p> <p>Keywords: International New Ventures (INVs), Surgical Instruments, Performance factors, born global firms, Sialkot Surgical industry</p>
