It is necessary to adopt original approaches, capabilities, and strategies to succeed in world markets. Developing international knowledge is the foremost management challenge in the emerging global market place. The aim of this paper is to introduce the 'Star Analysis' as a method for applying this knowledge to obtain international competitive advantage.
