| Abstract: | Often, at the urging of domestic clients , professional service firms have been more likely than other firms to go abroad, typically through owned subsidiaries. For Anderson and Gatignon (1986), this occurs because clients want to preserve and extend the intimate knowledge and working relationship already built up with their service firms. The internationalization of accounting firms can be traced to Brittish investments in North America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Accountants initially followed the exports and foreign investnments of home-country clients and subsequently provided services to host-country clients. |
