INTERNATIONALIZATION OF THE BUSINESS FIRM: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

The firm theory of internationalization remains open to new theoretical proposi-tions. As a result, there is still some confusion among scholars about these issues. This paper revises the main contributions in the academic world concerning the debate on the internationalization of the firm. We do a brief diagnosis of the inter-national currents of thought and their impact on the unfinished debate about the advancement of the theory of internationalization of the firm. Finally, we offer an agenda of topics that might be analyzed in relation to the case of Mexico.
