Tiivistelmä: | International Service Systems (ISS) is a company that provides industrial building and building maintenance services. This article reviews the history of ISS and its aggressive foreign expansion in the period 1960-2000. Resource based theory is used to interpret what factors explain the pace and patterns of the foreign expansion of this labour-intensive service that employ low-skilled workers. The authors show what can be learned by internationalization of ISS compared with other types of services. |
