The results show that both firm and locationspecific factors, firms competitive advantage, companys management attitudes and profit growth were the main drivers of internationalisation. Further, the study reveals that the predevelopment of country qualitative and quantitative location factors was elemental to attain profitable foreign country choice. Accordingly, these findings have significant theoretical and practical implications to the internationalisation and foreign market entry of professional service firms.
