Despite attractive opportunities, most businesses do not enter foreign markets. The reasons given for not going international are numerous. The biggest barrier to entering foreign markets is seen to be a fear by these companies that their products are not marketable overseas, and a consequent preoccupation with the domestic market. The following points were highlighted by the findings in the previously mentioned study by Barker and Kaynak, who listed the most important barriers: 1
- too much red tape
 - trade barriers
 - transportation difficulties
 - lack of trained personnel
 - lack of incentives
 - lack of coordinated assistance
 - unfavorable conditions overseas
 - slow payments by buyers
 - lack of competitive products
 - payment defaults
 - language barriers
 
It is the combination of these factors that determines not only whether companies become involved in international markets, but also the degree of any involvement.
