TLDR
The current literature has failed to deliver a coherent explanation of the internationalization-performance (I-P) relationship as discussed by the authors, and the empirical findings are quite confusing and even contradictory.

Q1. What are the contributions mentioned in the paper "A combined focused industry and company size investigation of the internationalization-performance relationship: the case of small and medium-sized enterprises (smes) within the swedish wood manufacturing industry" ?

Building on the resource-based view and the S-shape theory of internationalization, this paper aims at such an empirically focused investigation of SMEs within the Swedish wood manufacturing industry. A repeated cross-sectional survey study using hierarchical regression analysis has revealed a linear negative relationship between internationalization and performance. In addition, the follow-up tests of ANCOVA ( analysis of covariance ) and piecewise regression revealed a non-linear relationship between ( 1 ) internationalization and performance for highly internationalized firms in 2001, ( 2 ) internationalization and growth for low internationalized companies in 2001, and ( 3 ) internationalization and performance for highly internationalized groups in the pooled dataset.
