Abstract: Extant research offers plausible explanations for why and how early internationalizers differ from late internationalizers in terms of learning. However, another question remains unexplored: what happens after the stage of early growth and, how and why do learning modes change as rapidly internationalizing ventures (RIVs) mature and grow, particularly in the context of a post-transition economy from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region? In an attempt to address these questions, we analyze in detail the case of twenty-five years of evolution of a Polish RIV, today an MNC. We offer a conceptual model of the learning modes' dynamics in the process of international growth and identify triggers for learning modes' shifts.
