Internationalization
In the last 10 years, companies have been faced with many new problems, associated with significant changes in the political and economic situation in the countries, the emergence of strong competition (in many industries primarily by foreign companies), changes in consumer behavior, etc. If at the beginning of most of the firms took steps of protective nature, allowing them to survive in recent years, priorities have changed, to the fore the company's growth objectives, including access to international markets. In this regard, the issues related to the internationalization of business, and a major factor in the success of the company is to choose the most effective international strategy [1,2].
The process of internationalization of the company can be viewed from the perspective of the evolution of global marketing strategy, which in turn includes four main phases or stages: preparation; the initial stage of access to international markets; expansion to local markets; global rationalization.
