Abstract: This research examines the internationalisation process of large Malaysian firms by focusing on identifying the effect of mediating forces between internationalisation advantage and internationalisation intensity. A total of 100 Malaysian firms participated in this research. Using regression and hierarchical multivariate regression analyses (HMRAs), researchers found the mediating effect of motivation on internationalisation advantage and internationalisation intensity, which indicated a full mediation effect. The results further indicated that network has partial mediation effect on the relationship between internationalisation advantage and internationalisation intensity. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings were also discussed.
