The degree of internationalization requires a symbiotic relationship between, the state, competitor (as a domestic interfirm alliance) and international/foreign partner or agent to develop efficiency, competency, competitiveness and increase in international operations. This present study therefore assessed the mediating role of strategic alliance in the relationship between government support (financial and non-financial) and the degree of internationalization of indigenous firms. The study was a survey, with data gathered from 301 indigenous exporters, identified from the Ghana Export and Promotion Authority database. The reliability and validity of the data were tested using confirmatory factor analysis, with structural equation modelling as the main means of analysis, run using Amos v.23. The study concluded that both financial and non-financial government support had a significant positive effect on the degree of internationalization. These relationships were, however, partially mediated by the strategic alliance. Future studies could explore the same relationships, but looking beyond the government support, indigenous firms and the study of internationalization to include other external institutional elements such as socio-cultural factors.

国际化程度需要国家、竞争对手（作为国内企业间联盟）和国际/外国合作伙伴或代理人之间的共生关系，以提高效率、竞争力、竞争力和增加国际业务。因此，本研究评估了战略联盟在政府支持（金融和非金融）与本土企业国际化程度之间的关系中的中介作用。该研究是一项调查，数据来自加纳出口和促进局数据库中确定的 301 名本土出口商。数据的信度和效度采用验证性因子分析进行检验，以结构方程模型为主要分析手段，采用Amos v.23运行。研究得出结论，财政和非财政政府支持对国际化程度都有显着的正向影响。然而，这些关系部分地由战略联盟调解。未来的研究可以探索相同的关系，但要超越政府支持、本土企业和国际化研究，包括其他外部制度因素，如社会文化因素。
