How digitalization affects the internationalization activity of business? What needs to be done to be first out in the block significantly matters most for the success of these dynamic business environments.<\/p>\n<p>As a full-time working business and sales professional, a father of two little boys, I am attending my doctoral studies to find ways to develop strategies for the digitalization of business.
