Companies’ performance on the internationalization process

Abstract

Relational studies between internationalization and performance lack analytical deepening, that is why a bibliometric study was developed to identify the aspects that configure the scientific publications on the subject. The total of 104 articles published between 2008 and 2018 in international journals were analyzed, identifying that most of them do not clearly conceptualize the type of performance addressed, while the minority emphasizes the "international", "financial" and "innovation" performances. Although the number of publications is decreasing over the years (an indicative of the subject's maturity), the analyzed results allowed to identify future research opportunities.

Degree of internationalization and financial performance of gaming businesses: A study of CD Projekt capital group

“…In recent years, research has mainly focused on the extent to which the degree of internationalisation (DOI) influences corporate performance. Some of these studies suggest that firms, to some extent, preserve the mobility of their resources to achieve economies of scale and exploit imperfections in markets and expand their business opportunities (Chalmers et al, 2020;Gomes & Ramaswamy, 1999;Steinbruch et al,2020;Tallamn & Li, 1966). This theory notes that firms do not become multinational unless there is an opportunity for advantage, so foreign expansion must positively impact firm performance (López-Morales & Gómez-Casas, 2015).…”

“…Studies conducted in the literature on the subject, aimed at capturing the impact of the company's internationalisation on its financial performance, seem to be limited only to industrial companies (Barłożewski & Trąpczyński, 2021;Chalmers et al, 2020;Steinbruch et al, 2020;Trąpczyński, & Halaszovich, 2021). This action is understandable since industry represents a conservative, understandable business whose influence on the world economy was undeniable.…”
