Internationalization and performance: A contextual analysis of Indian firms (2013, background): “The earlier proposals—linear, U-shaped, inverted U-shaped relationships between I–P—are not ambiguous results; rather, these relationships depict the different stages of the three-stagemodel (Contractor, 2007).”
