International Business Review
Special Issue on The Role of Knowledge and Learning in 
Internationalization

Guest Editors
José Pla-Barber (University of Valencia)
Joaquin Alegre (University of Valencia)


The international strategy is enhanced by the organization’s ability 
to learn. From this perspective, internationalization is viewed as a 
process of learning and knowledge accumulation (Brouthers et al., 
2009). Learning alters the manner in which firms see and interpret 
the world and identify knowledge gaps in foreign markets. Knowledge 
and learning play a central role in the internationalization 
processes of the firm in a different number of ways (Petersen, 
Pedersen & Lyles, 2008). 
The international firm needs to learn and use knowledge on the 
different international markets it is operating in. Knowledge 
acquisition is one of the key factors behind a firm’s international 
behavior in terms of selection of foreign markets, entry modes and 
the speed of the process. 
Different markets imply different consumers’ needs and wants. 
Learning is essential for product adaptation as well as for achieving 
product innovation successfully (Kafouros et al., 2008). 
International firms tend to have an outstanding innovative capability 
that they exploit in several markets (Pla-Barber and Alegre, 2007).
The international firm also has to deal with knowledge flows with 
other firms. The transferability of technological knowledge across 
borders enables early and rapid internationalization. Absorptive 
capacity and open innovation are also decisive processes through 
which international firms can integrate external knowledge and launch 
attractive new products to the international markets. Finally, 
internal knowledge sharing is also an essential issue for 
multinational corporations (Buckley and Ghauri, 2004; Michailova and 
Minbaeva, 2012) in order to achieve effective coordination. 
Organizational routines and structures are better integrated for 
internationalization when firms develop and retain abilities to learn 
and share knowledge.

This Special Issue focuses on these knowledge processes that allow 
the international firm to outperform its competitors in the 
international arena.
