Abstract
This paper presents the analysis of the relationship among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) internationalization, logistics capabilities, and supply chain flexibility (SCF) from an integrative perspective to address this gap in the literature. We analyzed the networking process of SMEs internationalization using a system dynamics approach in order to determine the behavior of the relationship between internationalization, SCF, logistics capabilities, trust and commitment. The analysis of these relationships provides a better understanding of the role of trust and commitment as enablers of SCF through the development of logistics capabilities in the networking process of SMEs internationalization. This work constitutes the basis to prove further hypothesis and empirical research in order to develop strategies regarding SCF as a sustainable competitive advantage for SMEs internationalization.
