The paper under consideration focuses on the network approach to internationalization. According to it, the choice of a country to which a firm internationalizes as well as the market entry mode are influenced by bilateral relations, i.e. firm’s networks. The aim of the given thesis is to explore the influence of bilateral relations on the internationalization process of the selected enterprises in the wind power industry.
As to the methodological framework, in line with the aim of the research paper under consideration the deductive approach has been applied. In order to answer the research questions and to meet the research objectives, the author decided to use the multiple-case study holistic design method, i.e. the research spreads over three world’s largest enterprises in wind power industry and focuses on every case in its totality.
The empirical part proves that bilateral relations do influence the internationalization path of the selected enterprises. Additionally, due to the fact that wind turbine producers under study are conglomerates, they are characterized by a relatively higher degree of resources commitment than non-conglomerate companies.
