Hızlı ve erken uluslararasılaşan işletme kavramı uluslararası işletmecilik alanında önemli yere sahiptir. Kuruluşundan itibaren kısa bir süre içerisinde yurtdışı faaliyetlerde bulunan işletmeler, erken ve hızlı uluslararasılaşan işletme olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Küreselleşme, iletişim ve bilgi teknolojilerinin hızlı gelişimi, bilgi kaynaklarına daha kolay ulaşılabilir olması, organizasyonların dinamik yeteneklerinin etkinliği ve iş ağı bağlantılarının varlığı vb. nedenlerle kuruluşuyla birlikte veya kuruluşunu takiben kısa bir süre içinde uluslararasılaşan işletmeler kurulmaya başlanmıştır. Erken ve hızlı uluslararasılaşma sürecini ele alan çalışmalar incelendiğinde özellikle yüksek teknolojili ürünler üreten imalatçı işletmelere yönelik çalışmalar yapıldığı görülmektedir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, yöneticilerinin sahip oldukları uluslararası vizyon ve uluslararası pazarda lider olma hedefleri sayesinde Liv Hospital'ın kuruluşunu takiben uluslararasılaştığı görülmektedir. İş ağları erken ve hızlı uluslararasılaşma süreçlerini kolaylaştıran faktörlerden biridir. Liv Hospital'ın uluslararasılaşma sürecinde de yöneticilerin iş ağları etkili olmuştur. Dolayısıyla, bir işletmenin sahip olduğu içsel ve dışsal faktörler erken ve hızlı uluslararasılaşmada etkili olmaktadır. Çalışmanın, sağlık hizmetlerinin uluslararasılaşması konusunda yapılacak çalışmalara rehberlik etmesi beklenmektedir.
