Title:
The Strategic Planning
Approach
on Knowledge Accumulation in the Internationalization Process: A
Proposed
Model
Abstract: Knowledge has been
considered
as a critical role in generating organizational advantage and uphold by
organizational
researchers as the key resource to create sustainable competitive
advantages.
The behavioral models dealing with the internationalization process are
Uppsala
internationalization Process Model (U-Model), Innovation
Internationalization
Process Model (I-Model) and Knowledge-based view theory. This
study
proposed to integrate insights from the KBV theory,
internationalization
process model and Forsgren’s critical review of the concept of
learning
in the Uppsala internationalization process model to develop a new
framework
for knowledge management in exporting firms. The objective
of
the study thus is to propose the role of experiential knowledge,
knowledge
from imitative learning, incorporation with other unit, staffing,
networking
and informational knowledge in the internationalization process.
