Abstract
Internationalization has been a topic of common interest since the emergence of globalization. But not much research work has been done to comprehend the factors effecting the internationalization of Pakistani business. This study is aimed to unveil the most important factors, responsible for driving or restraining the internationalization of Pakistani firms. The authors have presented a theoretical analysis of six research papers that would help in the identification of key factors. The papers have been studied in respect of their importance and impact on internationalization process. Various dimensions indirectly influencing the aura of international business in Pakistan have also been discussed. Theoretical analysis suggested that, government support, research and innovation, development of export industry and entrepreneurial relationships are the key factors driving the internationalization process. Conversely, lack of infrastructure, insufficient finances, inadequate research facilities, lack of sound economic policies and international trade barriers are the factors restraining it
