i'm researching modes of entry on MNEs from lusophone-African when internationalizing in the African continent and abroad. Any leads on internationalization theories applied to these regions?
Here are some papers that talk on Internationalization approach adopted by some Nigerian businesses. I know this is not for Angola or Mazambique but since it is from a fellow sub-saharan African countries you might be able to draw some similarities.

Ramamurti is a great friend of mine here in Boston, I'm already familiar with his work. I'll definitely take a look at your paper. While familiar with those internationalization dynamics (theoretical framework) of emerging markets, I'm specifically interested of those of frontier markets, as they are even at an earlier stages than emerging. I'm researching frontier MNE in Angola and Mozambique, and so far, I find that current internationalization frameworks do not fully apply. I need to verify this though.
