Resumen
FUERST, Sascha. The development of international business theory: implications for international business teaching and research in Colombia. cuad.adm. [online]. 2010, n.43, pp.33-51. ISSN 0120-4645.
The article provides an overview about the development of international business theory beginning with Hymers seminal contribution in 1960 and ending with a contribution by Engwall from 2006 that links institutionalization theory to the multinational firm. Building on these theoretical developments, the article gives new directions for research regarding the internationalization phenomenon of Colombian firms. Furthermore, it is suggested that universities in Colombia that offer international business programs include international business theory in their curriculum to strengthen its epistemological basis and to provide motives for students, especially at the postgraduate level, to research the internationalization behavior of Colombian firms - a phenomenon clearly under-researched in the country and internationally in the context of Latin-America.
