Abstract
This paper examines the internationalization strategies of the large energy corporations based on a comparative case study approach. Its purpose is to uncover strategic directions and ascertain how the companies respond to different geopolitical and regulative environments. Framed by the Uppsala Model, Eclectic Paradigm, and Internalization Theory, the research highlights the same practices including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and the focus on renewable sources. Findings report varying orientations—some firms prioritize market-led growth, whereas others emphasize sustainability. The Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America case studies illustrate how firms respond to local bottlenecks and opportunities. Theory-based, adaptive, and context-specific approaches are reported to enhance resilience and competitiveness on a global scale.
