TL;DR: The problem with these conceptualizations is, first, that attempts to simplify complexity have resulted in oversimplified perspectives that have subsequently been accepted as irrefutable fact; secondly, that such blind obeisance has obfuscated the truth regarding the actual processes involved as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: ‘Stage’ theories and their accompanying models proliferate in the internationalization and broader international business literature (Vernon, 1966; Wells, 1968; Johanson and Wiedersheim-Paul, 1975; Pavord and Bogart, 1975; Bilkey and Tesar, 1977; Khan, 1978; Cavusgil, 1980; Czinkota, 1982). These suggest that the process of ‘going abroad’ involves a (logical) sequence of international development steps. The problem with these conceptualizations is, first, that attempts to simplify complexity have resulted in oversimplified perspectives that have subsequently been accepted — almost, without question — as irrefutable fact; secondly, that such blind obeisance has obfuscated the truth regarding the actual processes involved. Indeed, most models — notably, those involving life-cycle theories — suffer from limitations concerning time-scales (Giddy, 1978). Moreover, their ability to delineate boundaries between stages or adequately explain the processes which lead to movement between stages is rather limited (Andersen, 1993).

TL;DR: In this paper, a case-based approach was employed to explore the relevance of relational factors in explaining the internationalization of six software B2B SMEs from Syria, and it was found that the case firms either reacted to the cross-border opportunities offered by their relational contacts or proactively pursued overseas opportunities through existing and newly developed relationships.
