Two key theoretical approaches emerge as useful frameworks for analysis: internationalization as a sequence of events, characteristically started by exporting and culminating in foreign direct investment; and the importance of relationships in international business (networks). These 2 ideas have strong explanatory power in the case of Asian international business. International business as a sequence of logical steps is especially manifested in the flying geese pattern in Asia. Networks are also an Asian strength, notably for state-owned enterprises in Singapore. 2000-01-01T08:00:00Z text https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/lkcsb_research/1351 Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Business |
