Abstract
The argument of this chapter is that internationalization is a special case of the growth of the firm. Consequently, many of the concepts that have proved serviceable in analyzing the growth of the firm domestically can prove useful in the case of internationalization. However, there are extra dimensions to international expansion that need to be delineated.
