The effort to adapt the doctrine to other contexts has occupied a marginal space for researchers.Against this position, a current booming calls the specific study of the strategy in the SME (Zornoza, 2000).

Consistent with the growing importance of SMEs in the real economy and in politics, research for SMEs should have generated a remarkable body of literature. However, the theory of government and particularly the theory of strategy have devoted little attention to its study. In this sense, this investigation is to identify and respond within this current, the question: how business organizations of small and medium sized align their resources to bring it to the full and growing their purposes?

Its purpose is to identify the sector’s productive potential and strategies to improve its competitiveness. Shipbuilding is not a very developed industry in Colombia. In fact, there are very few shipbuilding yards, medium or large, that specialize in building and repairing vessels for river transportation. Instead, most facilities consist of small artisan shops and dry docks with limited capacity. The analysis for the period 2000-2007 shows that it is a sector that has not been much exploited and could have high productive and private profit potential.

Are presented, first, the results of the review of secondary sources, where we analyze the evolution of Spanish SMEs, with emphasis on the family business, its importance within the country's economy and its participation within the projection internationally. Secondly, we present a review of the literature from two different perspectives. In the third section, we present the three-dimensional evolutionary model of the family business, with which it seeks to know whether the process of internationalization of Spanish family SMEs has followed a pattern, and what steps have been assumed from each of the perspectives and what would be the main challenges facing the future. The Spanish family SMEs and internationalization. Finally, taking into account the results obtained, says a new model that seeks to identify the different parameters for the internationalization of small and medium enterprises Spanish family.
