2-Pattern of Internationalization

The diagram shows 5 axes that represent a company's level of internationalization: A) active search for opportunities; B) handling foreign operations internally vs externally; C) degree of similarity between foreign and domestic operations; D) number of foreign countries involved; and E) mode of operations abroad. A company's position along these axes indicates its depth of international commitment, with positions farther from the center representing deeper commitment and involvement in foreign business operations. A company's progression along the different axes does not need to happen at the same speed.
