Abstract

This work aims to identify the internationalization process specificities of an African firm through the case study of the international development of the Malagasy group Vidzar, one of the African rum leaders. While taking into account African specificities, our methodological case study approach is based on internal company data, secondary data (47 press articles) and information collected from company executives and its representatives in Europe via 4 semi-structured interviews. The results obtained show specificities in terms of the speed and sequences of the internationalization process and also in terms of management of commercial representations and intermediaries. Our results show some factors of similarities with generic cycles of internationalization. Finally, our study strongly argues for the contextualized analysis of the international development of African firms.
