In chapter 2 there will be the analysis of motives for the realisation of the internationalisation project by the time of the decision-making. The analysis of developed problems tells us why the expected success did not result from the transaction. Which factors led to failure? Finally a critical reflexion of the turned out challenges is carried out and shows potential for optimisation of this internationalisation transaction. The paper ends with the conclusion.
