Abstract

Indigenous firms in small island developing states are improbable candidates as internationally competitive firms. They are remote from markets and have limited resources, yet despite these disadvantages some of these businesses have succeeded, and their success has created important developmental benefits for the island nations in which they are located. As exporters to world markets these businesses improve their countries' balance of payments, create employment and enhance regional stability. This paper examines the unique sources of competitive advantage secured by these firms using a resource-based view of the firm as a structuring theoretical framework.
