Abstract: Abstract Internationalization has been a growth alternative for companies that allows them to reach new markets, gain scale and scope economies, increase firm security and profitability. In the last two decades, the globalization of economies, especially the emerging ones, has promoted a new competitive reality, which is more uncompromising, enabling the creation and implementation of previously unimaginable business models. Companies’ initiatives regarding internationalization have boosted the growth rate of foreign direct investment (FDI). In the late 1980s, the average annual growth had the value of about US$100 billion, while the 2000s witnessed an average annual growth of approximately US$600 billion, which represents a six-fold increase. More than 30 per cent of the global FDI value is currently invested in emerging economies stimulating their economic advancement.
