The Uppsala internationalization model
Stage 1: no regular export activities (sporadic export)
Stage 2: Export via independent representatives (export modes)
Stage 3: Establishment of a foreign sales subsidiary
Stage 4: Foreign production/manufacturing units

Exceptions to the use of incremental steps
towards market commitment
Firms with large resources can take larger internationalization steps
When market conditions are stable and homogeneous, relevant market knowledge can be gained in ways other than experience
When the firm has considerable experience from markets with similar conditions, it may be able to generalize this experience to any market

Foundation of the transaction cost analysis (TCA) model
Firm will tend to expand until the cost of organizing an extra transaction within the firm will become equal to the cost of carrying out the same transaction by means of an exchange on the open market
![Page 12: International is at Ion Theories](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544977bbb1af9f4e038b490d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Hollensen, Global Marketing 4e, © Pearson Education 2008 3-12
Transaction cost analysis framework
Cost minimization explains structural decisions
Firms internalize (vertically integrate) to reduce transaction costs
![Page 13: International is at Ion Theories](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544977bbb1af9f4e038b490d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Hollensen, Global Marketing 4e, © Pearson Education 2008 3-14
Cost elements of the TCA model
Ex ante costs Search costsContracting costs
Ex post costsMonitoring costsEnforcement costs
Transaction costs = ex ante costs (search + contracting costs) + ex post costs (monitoring + enforcement costs)

Limitations of the TCA framework
Narrow assumptions of human natureExcluding ‘internal’ transaction costsRelevance of ‘intermediate forms’ for
SMEsImportance of ‘production cost’ is
understated
