Firms have a finite amount of funds for expansion and growth. Entering foreign markets, by definition, means a firm is investing money in another country that is then not available for investing in the firms home country. For example, Nissan closed factories in Japan and added a new factory in the United States. GM shut down factories at home but kept them open in Europe.
