| Abstract: | This paper is based on the Uppsala internationalization process model, which claims that the behaviour of the international firm is path or history dependent. This is so because the internationalization process of firms is based on the stock of their firm-spesific tacit or experiential knowledge of the firm. In this study, the effect of a firm's first international step on its existing level of experiential knowledge is measured. Results show that the first international step has an effect on a firm's current experiential knowledge structure. |
