Les 5: Behavioral/ dynamic approaches on
internationalization
Dynamic look at the process
 Uppsala: people get stuck in history, but the process model about increasing the production
process
 It is outdated, but still in d textbooks

Internationalization process perspective
Context: early studies 1960’s
 Mature multinational companies
 Very large MNEs
 Large domestic market
 Early interest on FDI: from US to Europe where they challenged the EU companies
 No generally accepted theory of internationalization of firms
 (One could argue, still so today)

!!! All the studies were based on the US: the businesses are big and active on the biggest markets
 The model still remains very important to explain what firms do

Two similar but different schools:
 Two Scandinavian studies in 1970s
o Researchers based at HSE, Finland and around (Luostarinen et al., 1979)
• HSE= Helsinki school of economis
o Researchers based at Uppsala university, Sweden (Johanson & Vahlne, 1977).
 Very different methodological choices:
o The Uppsala model based on a case study of four companies
o Luostarinen’s study based on a questionnaire with >1000 company respondents

2 studies at the same time in scandinavian because it was the most advanced economy at that time
 J& V: import names in internationalisation

Context: European company studies in 1970s:
 Very small: Finland, but international because it was a small and open market
 Small production units due to small markets
 Small and open economies
o Small ecnomie  forces companies to internationalilze. They went to other
Scandinavian countries
o Some firms were starting to internationalize, some were in more advanced stages 
they could compare those who are just getting started to those who had already
been in the first stages
 Different international business methods, mainly export operations
 Companies at different stages of internationalization (extent of internationalization)
o Firms are observed at different stages of internationalization
o How much internationalised with = forgein sales/total sales

Research objectives: What, when, how, why and where
 To construct a model of internationalization to explain the nature and dynamics of the
internationalization behavior of firms.

, Luostarinen’s
Premises:
 14933 industrial companies in 1976; 5596 >5 employees + not owned by foreigners
 Internationalization stages (Luostarinen 1979):
o Domestic (4300 companies)
o Starting stage = other than subsidiary operations abroad (1084 companies)
 You are international, but you don’t have subsidiary operations
o Development stage = other than manufacturing abroad (150 companies)
 If you have subsidiary operations than you are in this stage
o Growth stage = manufacturing units in less than 6 countries (65)
o Mature stage = manufacturing units in more than 6 countries (1)

Started to make a list of companies  no computers or databases: all had to be done manually
 Most did not internationalize (= were domestic)

He observed the different stages  in line with life cycle ideas of Vernon
 Other than subsidiary operations: licensing, export… JUST NO SUBSIDIARY OPERATIONS!!
 If you have subsidiary: development!  Just not manufacturing!
 Distinction between growth and mature! There was 1 that had more than 6 countries  very
big company

Research questions:
 Why do companies start internationalizing their activities
o i.e. what are the major reasons for the transfer from the purely domestic company
stage to the internationally operating company stage?
 Why do companies in small and open domestic markets become involved in international
business?
 How have companies internationalized, i.e. what are the major strategies followed in the
internationalization process?
 How do companies with small and open domestic markets internationalize their
operations?

Research objectives:
 To explain the importance and role of the small size and openness of domestic markets for
the internationalization of companies
 To explain the importance and role of internationalization within growth strategies in firms
with small and open domestic markets
 To explain the internationalization path and three components of internationalization
strategy: product, operation and market strategy (POM).
 To construct a tentative model based on internationalization strategy to explain the nature
and dynamics of the internationalization behavior of these firms
