You're right - exporters can be much more fleet of foot than those making investments in new countries. Thanks for the link. They raise some interesting views and distinctions.

Did Sakshi define international though? My suspicion is that "global players" tend to come early and for a much longer tenure. "exporters" are much more opportunistic. therefore lumping everyone's activities under the label international could be misleading when trying to discern trends. We had a look at the concept here http://bit.ly/c0GwZ at the Churchill Club, but didn't generate any research on it. I like your work. Brendan Interesting. Did Sakshi define international though?
