dc.description.abstractThe degree of internationalization requires a symbiotic relationship between, the state, competitor (as a domestic interfrm alliance) and international/foreign part ner or agent to develop efciency, competency, competitiveness and increase in international operations. This present study therefore assessed the mediating role of strategic alliance in the relationship between government support (fnancial and non-fnancial) and the degree of internationalization of indigenous frms. The study was a survey, with data gathered from 301 indigenous exporters, identifed from the Ghana Export and Promotion Authority database. The reliability and validity of the data were tested using confrmatory factor analysis, with structural equation model ling as the main means of analysis, run using Amos v.23. The study concluded that both fnancial and non-fnancial government support had a signifcant positive efect on the degree of internationalization. These relationships were, however, partially mediated by the strategic alliance. Future studies could explore the same relation ships, but looking beyond the government support, indigenous frms and the study of internationalization to include other external institutional elements such as socio cultural factors.
