It offers a critical overview of the leading frameworks, focusing on their primary attributes, challenges, and pitfalls in depicting similarities in the internationalization process and shortfalls in entry mode predictions. Based on the author’s challenges when investigating 29 Lusophone African SMEs in Mozambique and Angola in 2016, an integrated and more holistic framework for internationalization is proposed. It considers advancements in ICT and business digitalization via the internet, web-enabled tools, and platforms, including social media and online professional communities of practices.pp. 37-63enBusiness and managementHuman resources and industrial relationsStrategy, management and organisational behaviourArticle2023-03-2810.1080/15475778.2022.20731530000-0001-9019-546X (Goncalves, Marcus)748311
