| Abstract: | This study aims to bridge the gap between organisational and contextual factors relating to the internationalisation of the firm and their interaction over time. It also seeks to provide a contribution to the internationalisation literature by presenting a co-evolutionary approach whereby the internationalisation path of the firm is seen as a product emerging from the co-evolution of internationalisation activities, organisational resources and industry influences. A longitudinal case study of the internationalisation of Orion Diagnostica is used to illustrate the explanatory potential of the co-evolutionary model and to capture the complex and interactive nature of the firm's internationalisation over time. The findings also clarify the constraints enabling or compelling a firm to internationalise rapidly and show how and why the status of "born globals" might change radically in the further internationalisation development. |
