Abstract: | This article argues that the way in which transnational corporations are able to face the unfamiliar dimensions of foreign markets influences divestment of their foreign affiliates. Specifically, large and well-experienced transnational corporations support effective investment/divestment decisions by collecting costly information and through incremental learning. Conversely, small and less experienced firms have to adopt more exploratory strategies, often based on hazardous gambling on emerging opportunities. |
