Abstract: The analysis of the relationship between the innovative activity within a firm/company and the specificity of the international business environment can follow different research directions, both from a historical perspective and with reference to the current realities encountered in the global economy. We believe that it is obvious the fact that we can intuitively notice a certain conditioning and/or mutual influence between the innovative capacity of a firm and its natural tendency to expand its operations in two or more countries. At the same time, we can notice enough methodological difficulties regarding the attempt to argue more precisely, analytically, including on a statistical basis (in line with those existing at international level), how exactly does the relationship between innovation and the tendency of internationalization of the firm manifest, taking into account the realities existing in the current global competition.
