Path taken by a company to place itself in the world market. The process normally begins with either direct or indirect exports. As international operations grow, foreign sales affiliates tend to be established or foreign production licences are sold. The third phase consists in moving production to a foreign country, and in the last phase all operations such as sales, production, personnel and purchasing management are carried out on a global basis and the company becomes identified more on a global level rather than originating in a particular country. 4, record 3, English, - internationalization

Changements stratégiques d'une entreprise pour se situer dans le marché mondial. Le processus commence par des exportations directes ou indirectes. Quand les opérations internationales augmentent, l'entreprise établit des filiales à l'étranger, ou bien vend des licences pour produire. La troisième phase se produit quand la production se déplace à l'étranger, et dans la dernière phase, toutes les opérations, comme par exemple, les ventes, la production, la gestion du personnel et les achats, se font globalement, de façon à ce que l'entreprise se mondialise et perde son identité nationale. 3, record 3, French, - internationalisation
