INTERNATIONALIZATION PROCESS TO GLOBAL MARKETS – A FIRM-BASED VIEW

Abstract

For my research, I have chosen Tele2 – a telecommunications company founded in 2001 by the Swedish group of companies Tele2 AB on the basis of networks acquired in the Russian Federation. I had to conduct interview with people who occupy leading positions in one of the biggest Kazakh telecommunication companies and make a research based on the answers.

The choice of Tele2 company may be  due to several reasons: firstly, this company is widely known for the residents of Kazakhstan, as well as has a good reputation among users; secondly, it seemed tempting to learn more about the internal structure, scope of activity, international relations of the company with such a rich background. And the last but not least, Tele2 is a Russian company which well operates business in Kazakhstan. That is why at the point of view of international business relations between Russian Federation and Republic of Kazakhstan exactly this company seemed attractive for analyzing. I conducted an interview with Tele2 employee of financial department.
