Abstract
This article explores whether the internationalization trajectories¿patterns over
time in the level, pace, variability, and temporal concentration of international
expansion¿of large firms from China and India are fundamentally different from
those of developed country firms. A longitudinal cross-country comparative study
of 256 large firms for the 1990¿2004/2005 period shows that although
internationalization trajectories of large and leading Chinese and Indian firms
are indeed different, there are also considerable similarities between established
developed country firms and the new firms from emerging markets, not in the
least, because they often interact within the same sector.
