This book focuses on the development of strategies for the successful internationalization of large and medium-sized companies. Becoming international offers important opportunities for companies of all sizes, but in an increasingly complex environment, the strategic planning involved is also a challenge. The book addresses this, putting forward suggestions that allow large and medium-sized companies to profit from internationalization. After a comprehensive introduction to internationalization and strategic planning, the authors make clear recommendations, suggesting detailed processes for developing international strategies. The book distinguishes between going global for new markets and internationalizing production and sourcing. For both, the book proposes procedures for performing meaningful strategic analyses and for developing successful international strategies. Lastly, it highlights the challenges faced by international companies and discusses useful decision processes. The book offers valuable insights for company executives, participants in Executive MBA programs, and master’s students.

Reliance on opportunism is a high-risk strategy in global business, yet many companies operate this way, often acting on limited amounts of information. Equally, many other companies implement strategies based on models formulated in the teaching rooms of business schools or the back recesses of consultants' offices. This book lightens the dark corridors of strategy development and shows its readers how to build strategies for success in the international marketplace, that take account of all the critical factors involved whilst allowing the use of personal judgement and process sureties. We call this the WRAP process.

The second edition has been thoroughly updated and features greater coverage of emerging markets with a new chapter and seven new cases. Suited for advanced undergraduates and graduate courses, students will benefit from updated case studies and improved learning features, including 'management takeaways', key lessons that can be applied to MNEs and a wide range of online resources.
