The typical pattern of stages in internationalization starts with exports, then foreign sales subsidiary, and finally, vertically integrated foreign subsidiary. Foreign production and appointing an agent may occur at different stages depending on the company's strategy and capabilities. However, the sequence of exports, foreign sales subsidiary, and vertically integrated foreign subsidiary is the most common and recommended path.
