Introduction
“Internationalisation is like creating a round -toed shoe that fits people with all types of feet.
It is not as comfortable as a perfectly fitted shoe and doesn’t fit snugly, but can be worn by many people.”
The internationalisation of organizations, enterprises and other types of associations is a complex process, which can be explained from many different points of view depending on the context given. Therefore, providing a simple and easy to understand definition can be quite challenging.
