A diagram illustrating the multi-level process of emotion, divided into three main stages: Pre-entry, Initial entry, and Post-entry. The diagram shows how emotions emerge at different levels: Micro-level, involving individual characteristics and emotions felt and perceived; Meso-level, involving behavior in interpersonal interactions; Group-level, involving behavior in groups and emotional contagion; and Organizational level, involving emotional climate, organizational characteristics, and emotional culture. The context, such as industry features and cultural, economic, and political environments, influences these processes. The diagram also highlights various internationalization outcomes like foreign mode choice, location choice, scale, scope, timing, speed, rhythm, and performance.An integrative theoretical framework.
