Abstract
In this introductory chapter we explain the purpose of the book: to introduce the Helsinki Model of the internationalization processes of the firm to the field of International Business. The Model originates from the PhD thesis of Reijo Luostarinen, a reprint of which forms Part I of this book. The thesis was compulsory reading for master’s and PhD students in many Nordic business schools for many years, but was never made available to a wider audience - until now. In this chapter, we explain the origins and major influences on the Model. We identify its distinctive features and the process by which it was developed, providing the Model with enduring relevance. We conclude the chapter with an overview of the commentaries on Reijo’s work that form an important part of the book, and set out an agenda for future research on internationalization processes of the firm.Description
