15:00 – 16:50 - Roundtable II: An integrated model of international value creation: Description and Application


This roundtable addresses the prevailing assumption that internationalization processes
always add value. Companies that are engaging in internationalization (beyond exports)
are faced with the need to rethink their product value proposition, operations models,
human resource profiles, and ways in which they cooperate with their new host
communities (i.e., stake-holder relations and CSR). Furthermore, how do companies
create continuous learning from these experiences in order to benefit from prior attempts to internationalize?

Senior leaders from emerging market multinationals will present their experiences,
lessons learned, and current efforts regarding knowledge creation.
