Forms of International Business: Theoretical Foundation and Characteristics

René Haak

Chapter 2 in Theory and Management of Collective Strategies in International Business, 2004, pp 11-24 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Seen from a historical perspective, international company activity has its roots in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, particularly in colonial areas. Closer examination reveals that this form of international activity was strongly national in nature and carried out within an empire (Perridon and Rössler, 1980, p. 121). At the end of the nineteenth century, activity on the part of still effectively national companies became increasingly internationalized. This development was aided by liberal economic policy and the increasing political independence of nations.
