Abstract: Abstract The KOF Index of Globalization offers a helpful and longsighted view of internationalization. Produced by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, it looks at the phenomenon in very broad terms taking into account economic, social and political internationalization. The index published in 2010 covers the period from 1970-2007. For this reason, the facts and numbers which follow do not take account of the financial and economic crisis of 2008-2009. However, this is anything but a disadvantage, since strategic management publications, like the strategies themselves, need to be oriented towards longer term trends and not the vagaries of the marketplace (KOF, 2010a, p. 1).
