Abstract: In this paper, we focus on the internationalization strategies implemented by Middle Size Multinational Enterprises (MMNE) in Chinese markets. We assume that these strategies differs from those of the large multinational companies. Differences explained by the size of the company (medium) compared to the size of the potential market (large). The hypothesis is that in the internationalization strategy of Medium size Multinational Enterprises (MMNEs) is recursive and based on two-way innovation process. This processes is defined as a mirroring back phase and its shown by companies prone to innovate the business model because of the international exposure. Culturally distant and large markets may support firms to increase their strategic innovation rate. Evidences based on case studies show the content and the modes of the internationalization of MMNEs.
