The internationalization processes of the firm: a new research agenda

This paper examines the fundamental assumptions and features of the Uppsala model of internationalization to suggest they have prevented the exploration of several conceptually relevant aspects of the internationalization of the firm. We identify three neglected issues that offer significant potential for further theoretical and empirical work, specifically the pre-history of internationalization, the internationalization of multiple products within the confines of the growing multinational corporation, and the internationalization of foreign units.
