Title: Internationalization trajectories - a crosscountry comparison: Are large Chinese 
	 and Indian companies different?
Abstract: This paper explores whether the internationalization trajectories -
	 patterns over time in the level, pace, variability and temporal 
	 concentration of international expansion - of large firms from China and 
	 India are fundamentally different from those of developed country firms. 
	 A longitudinal cross-country comparative study of 256 large firms for 
	 the 1990-2004 period shows that, although internationalization 
	 trajectories of large and leading Chinese and Indian firms are indeed 
	 different, there are also considerable similarities between established 
	 developed country firms and the new firms from emerging markets, not in 
	 the least because they often interact within the same sector
