The flowchart illustrates the internationalisation process, showing the stages and interactions within the process. The overall structure includes three main stages: Pre-entry, Initial entry, and Post-entry, all influenced by the Macro Context. The Macro Context, which includes cultural, economic, and political environments, affects all stages. The Pre-entry stage leads to the Initial entry stage, which then progresses to the Post-entry stage. Each stage has specific outcomes and interactions. In the Pre-entry stage, Capabilities influence Commitment, which in turn affects Knowledge development. In the Initial entry stage, Commitment influences Knowledge development. In the Post-entry stage, Commitment again influences Knowledge development. The flowchart shows a cyclical interaction where the Post-entry stage can loop back to the Pre-entry stage, indicating a continuous process of internationalisation.Internationalisation process (Johanson and Vahlne (2015), Vahlne and Johanson (2020)
