While expanding, a company may encounter limitations in its domestic market, necessitating entry into foreign markets for further growth and development. This entry is achieved through internationalization strategies. This article examines some conceptual and theoretical approaches to the internationalization strategies of economic entities. Specifically, it identifies models of internationalization for companies, revealing that each one has its own specific characteristics in terms of management decision-making and operational style in foreign markets. It also identifies the basic components of internationalization strategies, and it is demonstrated that only through interaction will these components guarantee the effectiveness of the internationalization process. The key conclusion of the study is that there is no universal internationalization strategy for all companies, and therefore each economic entity must approach the choice of strategy based on its own interests and goals.
