What is Internationalization Process

Chapter 16
Handbook of Research on Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Internationalization
It involves the emphasis of a trajectory of a company in its transition from a national market to a particular foreign market. It usually involves several entry modes (exports, FDI, franchising, etc.) that exert a critical influence on the subsequent trajectory, as well as on cost related to the internationalization process. The two most important theories that explain the internationalization process are the Uppsala model and the network-based approach.

Abstract
This chapter analyzes the strategic international formulation of a SME technological service-based firm to perceive the internationalization theory that best suits the company throughout its history. The literature review of the most studied internationalization patterns—Uppsala Model, Born Globals, Born Again Globals, and Born Regionals—allowed comparison of the main characteristics of each theory vis-à-vis the firm's internationalization. A synthesis table summarizes the main characteristics of the internationalization process of each model and presents a clearer view of the particularities of each. Analysis of the primary data and interviews provided by the company's CEO made it possible to compare the internationalization process adopted by the company with those characteristics, facilitating the process of identifying the strategy followed. The present case study took into account the theoretical model with the greatest similarity of characteristics with the path followed by the firm, as well as its learning and future plans.

Internationalization Strategies: Circumventing the Liability of Newness – A Case Study of Irregular Internationalization Paths
The path a company takes as it moves from operating within a domestic market to targeting a specific foreign market involves various entry modes such as exports, foreign direct investment (FDI), franchising, and others, which can significantly impact the company's subsequent trajectory and the costs associated with internationalization.
