Zusammenfassung Leseprobe Details

Expansion into foreign markets is an issue that many companies have to address if they want to offer their products and services not only in domestic markets but also in foreign markets. In order to become successful internationally, various internationalization strategies can be chosen.

The first part of the work describes traditional internationalization strategies with the focus on the Uppsala approach as well as a relatively new concept called "Born Globals" from a theoretical standpoint. In the second part of the work, the theoretical learning about Born Globals is applied to practice at the example of the Alibaba Group. The work ends with the conclusion that the Alibaba Group shares the most common behaviors and characteristics of Born Globals.
