Description
By its very nature, international management is the management of internationalization. Unlike many other fields of management science, international management research has therefore considered aspects of dynamics right from the start. Thanks to the Uppsala Model which very early became something like the paradigm of internationalization there has never been doubt that internationalization has to be viewed as a dynamic phenomenon. On the contrary, the Uppsala School's concept was so convincing that it appeared to discourage research on other aspects and forms of internationalization processes.
Mir special issue 2/97 presents seven papers that go beyond the traditional perspectives and assumptions of internationalization process research by: developing a model of de-internationalization; conducting a critical review on the theories of market entry modes; discussing misunderstandings of the traditional internationalization process model; paying attention t the behaviour of acquired firms before they are actually acquired within an internationaliztion process; contrasting the phenomenon of international new ventures to internationalization process theory; differntiating evolutions, episodes, and epochs of internationalization; investigating foreign market entry as a built-in mechanism of innovations.
