This paper discusses TMT’s characteristics that influence on the combinations of entry modes. The research design used here is qualitative because it attempts to describe the importance of these characteristics in as the alternatives in internationalization process. The results indicate the importance of considering some characteristics of TMT, and combinations of entry mode as an option to internationalize. Combinations of entrymode might enhance the firms’  internationalization  strategies,  making  them  more  effective  in  the  global environment. Knowing the relevant determinants of TMT will lead to more efficient strategies. The originality of this worklies in studying some aspects of  TMT  to  select  combinations  of  entry  modes  which  are  suited  in  a  given environment.
