DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade the rapid international expansion of firm
 s from emerging markets has generated a lot of interest among management s
 cholars. In this talk I address the question why some firms from emerging 
 markets are more successful at internationalizing than others. To answer t
 hat question I use the knowledge-based view of the firm. I argue that alth
 ough the international expansion of firms from emerging markets seems to h
 ave happened at an unprecedented speed it actually took place in only thos
 e firms that were preparing for international expansion over a period of y
 ears. Specifically\, I propose that the firms which have internationalized
  successfully have had a greater level of preparedness for international e
 xpansion. A greater level of preparedness is achieved through preparation 
 of people and preparation of practices: i.e.\, having people with knowledg
 e of foreign markets and institutions\, and by adopting and implementing i
 nternational business practices.
