“…In the period 1988 to 1999, market reforms led by economic openness and liberalization brought challenges to domestic-based LAC companies, which resulted in these companies having to upgrade their competitiveness and capabilities to compete with foreign transnational companies both in their home countries and internationally (Cuervo-Cazurra, 2008; Santiso, 2013; Trevino et al , 2002). At this time, the internationalization of Latin American companies could be considered a defensive reaction to survive the fierce competition with foreign multinational entreprises (Casanova and Fraser, 2009; Casanova, 2010).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of COVID-19 on the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region and to discuss imperative engines for potential regional recovery. Design/methodology/approach This study conceptually discusses the effects of COVID-19 on the LAC region and highlights potential areas for recovery. Findings The LAC region have a history of facing structural development challenges – due to digital inequality, environmental degradation, erosion of democracy and financial debt – which have led to a profound discontent among people in the LAC region and this dissatisfaction has been intensified by the crises stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. LAC region can increase its resilience and recover its path to sustainable development by consolidating impact-based regional value chains, attracting sustainability-themed foreign direct investment and nurturing structural development to facilitate LAC companies to expand into international markets (“multilatinas”). Research limitations/implications There are some preliminary studies on the economic and social impact of COVID-19 on the LAC region, however, the strategies that emerging and developing economies might pursue to promptly recover are still a matter of discussion. The uncertainty and heterogeneity of the developing and emerging economies and the multidimensional needed actions require local adaptations and adjustments. Originality/value The LAC COVID-19 crisis recovery requires shared responsibility, global solidarity, urgent and immediate cooperation and structural transformations to enable deeper regional integration. This integration should focus on impact-based value chains to be resiliently adaptable to changing global realities and arduous local contexts. This paper provides integrative avenues for potential regional recovery within the region.

“…Antes la aproximación era más estatista y vinculada a un apoyo del Estado como política de desarrollo; enfoques más recientes apuntan a empresas privadas con fines estratégicos y de ampliación de mercados, particularmente de las multinacionales latinas (Multilatinas). Casanova (2010), presenta tres etapas de desarrollo: 1970-1990, de expansión en su mercado natural regional; 1990-2002, que motivado por el consenso de Washington se priorizan privatizaciones y se incluyen empresas de servicios (principalmente servicios públicos, otrora estatales); y finalmente, desde 2002, cuando las Multilatinas empiezan a expandirse globalmente y no solo en la región.…”

Los años 80 se caracterizaron por una marcada expansión de los mercados internacionales en la forma de Inversión Extranjera Directa (en adelante IED) (Kahouli & Maktouf, 2015). Posteriormente, en la década de los 90, los Acuerdos Comerciales Regionales (ACR) comienzan a proliferar en América Latina gracias a las políticas aperturistas que caracterizaron dicho periodo (Aguilera et al., 2017). Varios ACR contienen un capítulo de inversión en el cual se plantean condiciones y características para promover la inversión en distintos sectores entre países miembros, por lo que se esperaría un aumento en la IED después de la entrada en vigencia de un ACR. Dicho esto, el presente capítulo plantea un modelo de gravedad para determinar el impacto que los ACR han tenido en la IED bilateral, con datos de la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre Comercio y Desarrollo (UNCTAD, por sus siglas en inglés), de 26 países de América Latina y el Caribe, durante el período de 1990 a 2017. Como es costumbre en modelos básicos de gravedad, las variables de control incluyen distancia, el tamaño del país -tanto emisor como receptor de IED- (PIB real), y el poder adquisitivo de la población –también en ambas economías- (PIB per cápita). Los resultados muestran una relación positiva y significativa de los flujos de IED con el PIB; una relación positiva con el PIB per cápita del país emisor y negativa con aquel del país receptor; y una relación negativa con la distancia entre los países socios. La existencia de ACR aparece como significativa solo en el período de 1990 a 1999 que, como se señaló anteriormente, coincide con el período de apertura económica de la región.

“…Several studies have been carried out to explain multilatinas (Velez-Calle, et al, 2018;Casanova, 2010;Cuervo-Cazurra, 2010;Goldstein, 2002). These studies have contributed incipiently to generating an explanation of how the emergence of these companies has affected international business.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a systematic literature review on the subject of multilatinas during 2007-2017, through a review of 55 papers published in 35 journals. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative technique for conducting a systematic literature review was used. To systematize and make the literature review more accurate, it was divided in four stages: data collection, coding, analysis and interpretation of data. Several tables and figures were developed to provide a better interpretation of the literature. Findings The phenomenon of multilatinas is still a regional topic. Nine specific gaps in the literature were identified: the role of the state; impact of “home-country reputation”; the role of the host country in the expansion of multilatinas; multilatina selection of markets with geographical closeness and cultural affinity; multilatinas from small economies (mainly Central American countries); studies of multilatinas operating in the service sector; the role of family ownership; studies analysing the multinationality–performance relationship; and the study of collaboration networks between researchers. Research limitations/implications The access of academic databases, where more published studies may have been available, and the level of precision in the search for papers that meet the necessary characteristics were included in the review. Practical implications This paper contributes to not only the body of knowledge about multilatinas but also, in a wide scope, to the knowledge of multinationals from emerging countries. Furthermore also this paper provide some research directions for academics interested in multinationals. Originality/value The general contribution of this paper is in its addressing the topic of multinationals from emerging economies such as Latin America, a less-studied emerging region. Moreover, this work specifically contributes to understanding multilatinas and identifies research gaps and characteristics of the scientific papers on this phenomenon, potentially increasing knowledge about multinationals from emerging countries, and specifically Latin America.
