Résumé
Cet article examine la dynamique d’implantation internationale des PME en se concentrant sur la poursuite du processus d’internationalisation. En s’appuyant sur le modèle d’Uppsala et la théorie de l’apprentissage organisationnel, il explore comment la réussite d’une implantation et l’expérience acquise influencent la décision de s’implanter de nouveau dans la même région, en l’occurrence la région MENA. L’étude repose sur une analyse de régression portant sur un échantillon de 124 PME françaises. Les résultats révèlent que la réussite d’une implantation et l’expérience internationale renforcent l’intention de renouveler l’internationalisation dans la même zone géographique. De plus, l’expérience agit comme un facteur modérateur entre réussite et intention de réimplantation. Sur le plan théorique, l’article enrichit les modèles existants en soulignant l’impact différencié de l’expérience locale et internationale. D’un point de vue managérial, il recommande aux PME d’adopter une stratégie contextualisée, fondée sur l’apprentissage local, l’adaptation des ressources humaines et le développement de partenariats ancrés dans les spécificités régionales du marché MENA. Ainsi, une implantation réussie et une expérience pertinente deviennent des leviers essentiels pour pérenniser et étendre l’internationalisation des PME dans une même région.

Abstract
This article explores the dynamics of international expansion among SMEs, focusing on the continuation of the internationalization process. Drawing on the Uppsala model and organizational learning theory, it examines how the success of an establishment and the experience gained influence the decision to expand further within the same region, specifically the MENA region. The study is based on a regression analysis of a sample of 124 French SMEs. The findings show that both the success of an initial international venture and prior international experience positively impact the intention to pursue additional expansion in the same geographic area. Furthermore, experience moderates the relationship between the success of a first establishment and the intention to re-enter the same region. Theoretically, this research extends existing models by highlighting the differentiated role of local versus international experience in the internationalization of SMEs. From a managerial perspective, it emphasizes the importance of adopting a contextualized strategy based on local learning, tailored human resources, and the development of partnerships rooted in the regional specificities of the MENA market. Thus, successful entry and relevant experience emerge as key drivers for sustaining and expanding SME internationalization within a specific region.
