Abstract: This paper focuses on network development processes in organizations developing internationally. The theoretical framework is based on the network approach and micro-foundations theory, which emphasize the role played by individuals in the dynamics of networks. We constructed a longitudinal case study of a French organization, which aims to develop international opportunities through a network of individuals. The empirical study is based on 121 participant observations, 36 interviews and secondary data. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the interplay between micro- and meso-levels in international network development processes. They enable us to propose the V-wave model, which explains interactions between individuals and organizations in the evolution of networks in a novel way.
