A influência do Gestor e sua Ação Frente ao Risco no Processo de Internacionalização: Uma Meta-Síntese

Abstract

Purpose: The objective is to understand how the manager's behavior and action in relation to risk influence and shape the internationalization processes.Methodology/Approach: A meta-synthesis study of qualitative case studies was carried out jointly involving the manager's influence and the action in relation to risk.Originality/Value: The literature recognizes that the different relationships established with risk can cause managers to overestimate or underestimate situations. However, there is little empirical evidence of how the manager's behavior in these situations changes his strategic choices and background, and a study emphasizing the individual level is significant.Findings: It can be said that the manager and his background influence the involvement and organizational development throughout the internationalization process. It is still possible to highlight that there is a predecessor to risk action, which is the perception of risks. In addition, it appears that the cognitive characteristics of these managers must also be considered when analyzing their perception of risks.Theoretical/Methodological contributions: As a contribution to the research, it is suggested that the manager's action in relation to risk is complemented by his/her perception of risk. It is believed that with this perspective of risk perception, research in the area can expand the theoretical scope of explanation, where this perception presents itself as a predecessor and a frame for future decisions and actions.

How does social innovation generate social impact? Contributions from a meta-synthesis

“…In this way, 20 articles were excluded, resulting in a final textual corpus of 5 studies for analysis, presented in Table 3. Regarding the number of papers considered for the study, a brief review in the databases SPELL and Scielo shows that in Brazil some of the articles that adopted the meta-synthesis worked with an interval between five and ten papers (Serpe & Kaniak, 2021;Silva & Takahashi, 2021;Vaz et al, 2020;Morais-Da-Silva et al, 2016), so the textual corpus of this study meets the requirements of the method.…”
