Abstract

Research on international expansion has a long tradition within the field of global strategy and international management (for example, Aharoni 1966; Johanson and Wiedersheim-Paul 1975; Buckley and Casson 1976; Johanson and Vahlne 1977). A large number of empirical and conceptual papers have contributed to our understanding of ‘why’ firms expand abroad by examining in detail the motives of firms to expand internationally (for instance, Ajami and Ricks 1981; Chung 2001). What is less understood is ‘how’ firms expand abroad, and how this process differs among regions and industries (Vermeulen and Barkema 2002; Werner 2002). In other words, we still do not have a comprehensive picture on the multiple facets of the process of inter-national expansion. The chapters in Part I set out to contribute to the existing body of knowledge of the internationalization process by focusing on specific regions and adopting distinct perspectives.
