A note on the revisited Uppsala internationalization process model – the implications of business networks and entrepreneurship (2016, positive): “Third, similar to the original model the revised Uppsala model is essentially a ‘‘learning-cycle’’ model (March & Olsen 1976; Leavitt & March, 1988; Forsgren, 2002).”
Foreign Location Choice: Review and Extensions (2016, neutral): “Furthermore, progress within the behavioral tradition was stumped by inconsistent empirical results and certain weaknesses inherent in the model (Andersen 1993; Axinn and Matthyssens 2002; Forsgren 2002; Melin 1992).”
Asset specificity and foreign market entry mode choice of small and medium-sized enterprises: The moderating influence of knowledge safeguards and institutional safeguards (2012, methodology): “According to previous research, international experience (Delios & Beamish, 1999; Henisz & Delios, 2001), host-country networks (Provan, 1993), and the imitation of best-practice firms in the host country (Forsgren, 2002) are knowledge mechanisms that SMEs can use to reduce internal uncertainty.”
Performance effects of “added cultural distance” in the path of international expansion: the case of German multinational enterprises (2008, background): “In the beginning, the firm may lack knowledge about the environment, but this can eventually be obtained by doing business in the new environment (Forsgren, 2002; Johanson & Vahlne, 1977) or by acquiring local units that do possess such knowledge (Barkema & Vermeulen, 1998; Forsgren, 2002).”
An entrepreneurial cognition perspective on the internationalization of SMEs (2006, background): “With regards to internationalization, perceived risk of international expansion has been found to diminish with knowledge of foreign markets (Forsgren, 2002; Knight et al., 2002; Yli-Renko et al., 2002).”
Learning Before Making the Big Leap (2011, background): “In this model, knowledge which is tacit in nature can be acquired by operating in the foreign environment and becoming closely connected to the market ( Forsgren 2002 ).”
Technology, innovation and knowledge: The importance of ideas and international connectivity (2016, background): “All in all, these studies contributed to the extensive conversation on the proactive or reactive character of firms’ internationalization processes (Forsgren, 2002; Petersen, Pedersen, & Sharma, 2003; Johanson & Vahlne, 2009).”
Bounded entrepreneurship and internationalisation of indigenous Chinese private-owned firms (2008, background): “This explains why the roles of many of these influences are assessed or compared when the PTI and INV models are reviewed or further developed (see: Andersen, 1993; Forsgren, 2002; Chetty and Campbell-Hunt, 2004; Autio, 2005; Zahra, 2005; Zahra et al. 2005; Coviello, 2006).”
The Influence of networking on the internationalization of SMEs: Evidence from internationalized Chinese firms (2011, background): “SMEs are able to speed up internationalization with improved access to and acquisition of external resources, foreign experiential knowledge and foreign networks (Arenius, 2005; Coviello and Cox, 2006; Forsgren, 2002; YliRenko et al., 2002).”
Internationalization of private firms: environmental turbulence and organizational strategies and resources (2004, background): “Stage model conceptualizations ( Johanson and Vahlne 1990, Forsgren 2002) recognize the importance of resource availability to the internationalization process.”
Commitment and opportunity development in the internationalization process: A note on the Uppsala internationalization process model (2006, background): “The model is mostly characterized as a learning model of the internationalization process (Forsgren 2002), in which experience is the main explanatory construct (Blomstermo/Sharma 2003).”
