Chapter 4 in Knowledge, Networks and Power, 2015, pp 88-110 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract One of the pioneers within the research area of firm internationalization, Sune Carlson, started from the simple fact that firms which intend to go abroad suffer from lack of knowledge about how to conduct a business in a foreign market (Carlson, 1966). His research question was directed to the issue of how firms can handle uncertainty due to this lack of knowledge by shaping their investment behavior in a specific way.
