Internationalisation process of African banks: an exploratory study

Research investigating the internationalisation process of firms from Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is limited. The purpose of this paper is to draw on extant work on internationalisation theory to propose an integrative framework that investigates the internationalisation process of African banks. The findings illustrate how the internationalisation pathways of African banks are shaped by a balancing act of leveraging accumulated global and regional strengths to achieve international growth and expansion.
