    Abstract

    This study explores the international entrepreneurial values influencing the intensity of Internet use in
    the internationalization process of small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs), within the Australian
    tourism industry. The findings point to a relationship between the values of international entrepreneurs and the inclination of the firm to develop and initiate international activity. And so, this study endeavors to offer insight into issues that remain unresolved in existing tourism and international entrepreneurship (IE) literature. Two effective but underutilized qualitative methods were used in this study to identify the values of international entrepreneurs. They are repertory test and laddering analysis.
