Abstract

This chapter introduces the major contribution by Reijo Luostarinen which was triggered by his work for the doctoral thesis. What started as the collection of a single dataset to investigate the internationalization of Finnish firms, evolved into a programme under the heading of FIBO, Finland’s International Business Operations. FIBO eventually covered multiple perspectives on firm internationalization, both inward and outward, and spanned three decades. This chapter introduces the FIBO project and its databases, and also provides two examples of how the databases have subsequently been used to carry out longitudinal research. I will discuss how the databases might serve the purpose of longitudinal research designs, and what we can learn from Reijo’s approach to studying the dynamics of IB phenomena.
