The internationalization of a company is difficult to measure or diagnose. See what happens in other countries, can serve as a parameter to compare that situation are domestic firms.
In Germany, as an example, we can see that all companies are more girls that are designed from birth with a clear international vision. While it is possible that within the development strategy, is not expected for some years to make investments to meet international demand, from birth, large and small, are ready to bring their product to the world, with FOB prices export, international catalogs and knowing that your product is to be prepared and shipped.
course the German state encourages this scenario, removing any bureaucracy as possible for the employer, as Unlike our country, in Germany, there is no need to hire a customs broker, becoming the state, from every seat of the Customs, who will provide everything you need to export the product. For some reason is that German companies fail to develop as they do, and Germany compete for first place (along with China) the world's leading exporter.
To measure the level of internationalization of a company, we can establish 5 levels that allow us to orient ourselves in that level are working. Logically are approximate, and may be that some cases are not strictly in a single level.
1 - Level 1: companies have not worked abroad, either because they were born recently, or because their structure or product will benefit from the opportunities abroad. We find entrepreneurs, small businesses and large number of service providers

1 - Level 1: companies have not worked abroad, either because they were born recently, or because their structure or product will benefit from the opportunities abroad. We find entrepreneurs, small businesses and large number of service providers
2 - Level 2: find companies that have had minimal contact with foreign trade, more by necessity than by having been proposed. At this level, the world has helped us eventually to supply us with a product that did not exist in the local market (or even the total cost of import suggested that the lower value of the product in the local market), or have exported a product, by peak demand.
3 - Level 3: At this level we find many companies that have a more habitual, interaction with foreign trade. Importing or exporting products offered or demanded, not by a specific need, but as an alternative business. Working with other foreign companies in a customer-supplier relationship.
4 - Level 4: Foreign trade is interpreted as a development strategy in the long term, firm, and represents even more relevant to the operations conducted in the local market. They have strategic alliances with suppliers and customers, working with representations of the products, sharing business strategies, while respecting the brand, culture and objectives of the manufacturer.
5 - Level 5: international companies, or multinational, their knowledge, capital and value added, have offices or investments in joint ventures (with foreign partners). Participate in Joint Venture, and other forms of association in any country to present business opportunities. This level is reached in Argentina by large enterprises, or SMEs that have failed and developed over time, a successful internationalization process.
Finally it should be clarified that there is a possibility that the same company, being at level 5 for some countries, strategies performed at 4 or 3 in others, as this will depend on the importance of a country with which we work, and the interest generated for the company. Beyond strategies have three levels, the company achieved without doubt the level 5, and that's where it should be considered.
