Chapter 6 in The Palgrave Handbook of Experiential Learning in International Business, 2015, pp 65-90 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this theoretical chapter, I develop a model of the firm’s sources of experiential knowledge in the internationalization process based on knowledge-based theory (KBT). In order to do so, I begin by briefly reviewing the KBT literature (Eisenhardt & Santos, 2002; Grant, 1996a, 1996b), explaining how it applies to the internationalization literature (Barkema & Drogendijk, 2007; Johanson & Vahlne, 1977, 1990) and finally bringing these ideas together to examine the mechanisms and sources of knowledge transfer in the internationalization process.
