This study further explores both concepts and their various effects on international new ventures (INV) and existing international companies. The study presents a comprehensive framework to outline the pros and cons of newness and foreignness and how to manage them. This is a conceptual paper that provides an extensive literature review on this topic. It further presents four propositions to be tested in future research.
