The process of internationalization is a complex and challenging task for companies seeking to expand into new markets. This research aims to identify the key factors that enable some companies to internationalize successfully and provide insights into how other companies can improve their internationalization process. The study utilizes a comprehensive literature review, case study, and interviews to identify the critical factors that contribute to successful internationalization, including market research, clear strategy development, establishing a presence in the target market, building relationships with stakeholders, adapting products and services to meet market needs. The insights provided by this research can help businesses better understand the internationalization process and develop successful strategies for expansion into new markets. By identifying the key factors that contribute to successful internationalization, companies can better prepare for the challenges of global business and improve their chances of success. By providing a framework for successful internationalization, companies can better manage the risks associated with entering new markets and ensure that they are well-positioned to capitalize on the opportunities presented by globalization. Ultimately, this research aims to contribute to a better understanding of the factors that enable some companies to internationalize successfully and how these insights can be used to improve the internationalization process for other companies, leading to greater success and profitability in global markets. While most large companies have adopted internationalization as a growth mode, an increasing number of SMEs are choosing it as a development strategy.
