Purpose: Strategy determines the patterns of internationalization. The speed, scale, and scope of internationalization are important dimensions from the perspective of firms’ behaviors and activ ities. The aim of the article is to identify and verify the relationship between the international strategy and its impact on three dimensions of the studied phenomenon. Methodology: The article uses a quantitative approach. The survey was conducted on a sample of 355 internationalized firms from Poland, varying in size. Findings: The analysis with t test and U test (ANOVA) shows a correlation between a company’s international strategy as a planning instrument and the speed and scope of internationalization. Research limitations/implications: While considering a firm’s development, especially its inter national growth, one should plan the activities related to entering into foreign markets. The results presented in this article are just a starting point for further analyses. In an attempt to eliminate its limitations, further research should focus on building a comprehensive model that includes the remaining components of international strategy and other categories that stimulate international ization processes. Originality: The originality of this article lies in three elements: (i) the article comprehensively captures the scale, scope, and speed of internationalization at the same time, (ii) the strategy is introduced as a determining factor of the scale, scope, and speed of internationalization, and (iii) the article enriches empirical studies about emerging markets such as Poland.

The discussion on the role and importance of time in the process of internationalization of firms belongs to the mainstream of research in the field of internationalization. In the literature, the phenomenon of early and rapid internationalization was noticed in the early 1980s; however, the intensive development of the research into this phenomenon began a decade later and continues today. For several years in Poland, the share of early internationalized firms has been growing. These firms start their international activities almost from their inception. The main objective of the article is to present the pace of the internationalization process of firms from the perspective of two major theoretical approaches and its empirical verification. The article includes the literature review as well as the results of a survey conducted among 263 high-tech production firms from Poland. In the summary of the article, future directions of research are pointed out.

Dyskusja na temat roli i znaczenia czasu w procesie internacjonalizacji przedsiębiorstw należy do głównego nurtu badań w obszarze umiędzynarodowienia. W literaturze zjawisko tzw. wczesnej i szybkiej internacjonalizacji zostało zauważone już na początku lat 80. XX wieku, a intensywny rozwój badań tego fenomenu rozpoczął się dekadę później i trwa do dzisiaj. Od kilku lat również w Polsce rośnie udział tzw. przedsiębiorstw born global, które rozpoczynają działalność na rynkach międzynarodowych wkrótce po utworzeniu. Głównym celem artykułu jest przedstawienie zagadnienia tempa procesu internacjonalizacji przedsiębiorstw z perspektywy dwóch głównych podejść teoretycznych oraz jego empiryczna weryfikacja. Artykuł obejmuje przegląd literatury przedmiotu oraz wyniki badań 263 umiędzynarodowionych przedsiębiorstw produkcyjnych działających w branżach zaawansowanych technologii na terytorium Polski. W podsumowaniu artykułu, wskazano na dalsze kierunki badań.
