Assumptions to be examined in the cases
| Assumptions |
|---|
| CSO's have a non-market driven and sudden internationalization explained by political and ideological needs produced outside the firm |
| Due to the lack of international goals and subnational governments' limited budget, the international expansion of SSOEs follows a market-driven and gradual internationalization |
| The need for SSOEs to increase revenues encourages them to diversify into new sectors abroad |
| The central states are conservative regarding strategies disrupting their initial geopolitical goals, and thus they do not usually expand into new sectors abroad |
