The purpose of this study is to examine the future orientation dimension of national culture on the choice of foreign entry mode in the context of the internationalization of Australian law firms. Our findings indicate short-term orientation for the firms’ choice of entry mode to international markets, with top-tier firms preferring joint venture arrangements, while both mid-tier law firms and boutique law firms prefer ‘fly-in, fly-out’ methods of internationalization. Our study provides guidance for scholars and managers seeking to examine and reflect on firm internationalization, particularly the future orientation dimension and market entry strategies.

专业服务公司国际化的未来导向与外资进入模式选择

本研究的目的是考察澳大利亚律师事务所国际化背景下民族文化对外国进入模式选择的未来取向维度。我们的研究结果表明，律所选择进入国际市场的模式是短期的，顶级律所更喜欢合资安排，而中端律所和精品律所更喜欢“飞进飞出”国际化的方法。我们的研究为寻求检查和反思公司国际化，特别是未来导向维度和市场进入策略的学者和管理人员提供了指导。
