Abstract: The established theory of international business is not without problems. It is necessary to specify the key relationship between internalization and market structure and between internalization and competitive advantage more carefully. This paper attempts to clarify the former relationship by reference to the work of Hymer and the latter by contrasting the nature of internalization decisions with those building short-run competitive advantage. Avenues of development of the theory include the integration of nontraditional concepts and the reintegration of areas of research that have become divorced from core international business theory.© 1990 JIBS.
