International markets are becoming increasingly important for businesses, offering greater market size and expanded opportunities. However, foreign markets also present significant challenges, such as cultural and institutional distance, the liability of foreignness, decoupling, and rising nationalism, all of which contribute to heightened uncertainty. To succeed, international firms must develop key capabilities and strategies, such as innovation, pricing, and distribution channels, to gain a competitive advantage and achieve superior performance. Leveraging digital technology can also play a critical role in helping firms navigate these complexities and enhance their global success.
