Hi, I am currently studying for my master's at Dalarna University. I have a keen interest in international business and marketing. My thesis is fast approaching and I am quite confused about what to really do as I have several topics in mind. I intend on looking at the challenges developed firms face when internationalizing in Africa. The reason for this topic is that most topics on internationalization and entry mode have focused on developed markets and emerging countries (BRIC) leaving Africa out which is also an emerging market. However, I tried getting literature papers to formulate a research problem for my topic but I am not getting sufficient articles. I need help and suggestions for this topic and if it is a good research topic. I am also interested in your suggestions for research topics concerning Internationalization and entry mode.
Thank you.
I like your idea. You can look at the challenges from PESTL perspective and research foreign companies in tbis context. Good luck with your work.
Good Luck, I think This paper can help a lot (The Internationalization of African Firms: Opportunities, Challenges and Risks ) December 2018, Thunderbird International Business Review 61(1):5 - 12 ,DOI: 10.1002/tie.21977
