A relação entre o grau de internacionalização e o desempenho das empresas multinacionais (EMNs) tem sido amplamente estudada na literatura de negócios internacionais. Entretanto, a maior parte dos estudos é realizada com empresas dos países desenvolvidos. De modo a contribuir com o desenvolvimento da teoria de internacionalização-desempenho, este artigo mostra uma análise dessa relação no universo das EMNs de economias em desenvolvimento. O principal objetivo do trabalho é avaliar se a estratégia de expansão internacional dessas EMNs está sendo traduzida em forma de eficiência e eficácia na gestão do negócio da empresa. A amostra do estudo corresponde a 33 das 100 empresas multinacionais (EMNs) mais internacionalizadas de economias em desenvolvimento, sendo que as informações levantadas referem-se a um período de 6 anos (2004-2009). Os dados foram obtidos junto a duas fontes: (a) United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD); e (b) Thomson Reuters Datastream. Após análises de regressão múltipla, método dos mínimos quadrados, bem como análise de dados em painel, verificou-se uma relação linear-negativa entre o grau de internacionalização e o desempenho das EMNs de economias em desenvolvimento, indicando que quanto maior o grau de internacionalização, menor tende a ser o desempenho dessas empresas.

“…An MNE must have a ratio of foreign sales over total sales (F/T) at 10 percent and three foreign subsidiaries (Rugman, 1981). Foreign sales ratio is measured by foreign sales over total sales (F/T), which has been widely used to measure the degree of internationalization (Hennart, 2011;Li, 2007a;Ruigrok, Amann, & Wagner, 2007). The F/T data which we use in our study is determined by the way Chinese firms report in their annual reports.…”

Rethinking the Literature on the Performance of Chinese Multinational Enterprises

We synthesize the literature on Chinese multinational enterprises (MNEs) and find that much of the prior research is based on as few as a dozen case studies of Chinese firms. They are so casespecific that it has led to a misplaced call for new theories to explain Chinese firms' internationalization. In an attempt to better relate theory with empirical evidence, we examine the largest 500 Chinese manufacturing firms. We aim to find out the number of Chinese manufacturing firms to be true MNEs by definition, and to examine their financial performance relative to global peers using the financial benchmarking method. We develop our theoretical perspectives from new internalization theory. We find that there are only 49 Chinese manufacturing firms to be true MNEs, whereas the rest is purely domestic firms. Their performance is poor relative to global peers. Chinese MNEs have home country bound firmspecific advantages (FSAs), which are built upon home country-specific advantages (home CSAs). They have not yet developed advanced management capabilities through recombination with host CSAs. Essentially, they acquire foreign firms to increase their sales in domestic market, but they fail to be competitive internationally and to achieve superior performance in overseas operations. Our findings have important strategic implications for managers, public policy makers, and academic research.

“…There is a vast amount of research on multinationality (see Contractor 2007;Li 2007), and in Oviatt and McDougall (2005) and Zhou (2007), the number of export markets is the manifestation of internationalization. Additional markets signify that the firm needs to integrate additional procedures for various situations, as markets tend to be different in terms of cultures and institutions; moreover, multiple markets signify that the firm is less dependent on a single market and, thus, the importance of international operations increases.…”

Acceleration and Deceleration in the Internationalization Process of the Firm

By adopting a processual and dynamic view on internationalization, we develop the concepts of acceleration and deceleration, providing analytical tools to enhance our understanding of the non-linearity and multidimensionality of internationalization. We argue that acceleration and deceleration are embedded in the internationalization process and are a consequence of the firm's capability to absorb and integrate acquired knowledge, and to find and exploit opportunities. In addition, we advance the idea that changes in speed are further influenced by how the firm integrates and coordinates the resources it has deployed within and across various internationalization dimensions. Thus, it emerges that the overall evolution of commitment to internationalization is more complex than received theories tend to present; therefore, empirical studies should aim to include a wide set of international activities and processes embedded in time.
