The Helsinki internationalization process model : foundations and future agenda

edited by Rebecca Piekkari (Marcus Wallenberg Chair of International Business, Department of Management Studies, Aalto University, School of Business, Finland) and Catherine Welch (Chair of Strategic Management, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland)

"This timely book introduces Reijo Luostarinen's Helsinki Model of firm internationalization processes to a new audience. As one of the neglected treasures of the field of International Business (IB), the Helsinki Model has remained largely inaccessible to a global readership - until now. The book features Luostarinen's original PhD thesis, and commentaries that explore and extend his work. Contributors illustrate the enduring applicability and the future potential of the Helsinki Model. They engage with Luostarinen's legacy to re-energize research on the internationalization processes of the firm, a cornerstone of the IB field. Students of IB, organization studies and management theory will benefit from the original ideas and in-depth analysis provided in this book. It is also a useful resource for established scholars, particularly members of the European International Business Academy and the Academy of International Business"--
