Without a doubt, the terms internationalization and globalization are indispensable in the business model of many companies around the world.
But it’s not just about growth opportunities. If you want to compete internationally, you must constantly work on supplying global customers in an even faster and more cost-effective way.
As illustrated, we differentiate between internationalization and globalization. While companies in the early maturity stages of internationalization (stages 1+2) only export from or import to their residential market, globalized companies (stages 3+4) already work across national borders, true to the management principle “Think globally, act locally.”
Companies without a foreign representation, as well as companies in the early stages of internationalization (stage 1+2), often shy away from the step into foreign terrain.
Sometimes there is a lack of knowledge of foreign legislation, national accounting, cultural practices, or even the local network.
Finally, medium-sized companies often do not have the human resources required to handle international projects and the associated challenges.
Important for companies in advanced stages (see stage 3): With the increasing importance of their former “subsidiaries” abroad and the need to further develop the business model in favor of a higher efficiency level, the organization must be aligned with the common corporate goal. For this realignment, experience with global organizational forms and management methods is essential.
