Resumo: | This study, from a longitudinal perspective and through dense description, seeks to obtain an understanding of how Brazilian software firms access and use international partner networks over time in their internationalization processes. Four dyad relationships were analyzed of Brazilian software firms and international firms operating in various countries. Data collection considered both primary and secondary sources, allowing for triangulation. The use of interviews with more than one firm director over several years led to further triangulation. Data analysis followed the recommended protocol for case studies: description, theoretical coding, and identification of patterns and contrasts, including comparison between theory and cases. A description of the identified categorization process is completed. A longitudinal analysis of the relationships studied shows a sequence of steps that characterize their evolution. Two network relationship evolution processes were identified: between smaller firms with multinationals and between similar firms. The study provides important contributions to the understanding of how to initiate and develop international social networks over time, in particular, with regards to the role of personal relationships. |

Foram analisados quatro relacionamentos em díade entre empresas brasileiras de software e empresas internacionais, atuantes em vários países. A coleta de dados considerou tanto fontes primárias quanto secundárias, permitindo a triangulação. O uso de entrevistas com mais de um dirigente da empresa ao longo de vários anos também serviu ao propósito de triangulação. A análise de dados seguiu o protocolo recomendado para estudos de caso: descrição, codificação teórica e identificação de padrões e contrastes, incluindo comparação com a teoria e entre casos. É feita uma descrição e categorização dos processos identificados. A análise longitudinal dos relacionamentos estudados mostra uma sequência de etapas que caracterizam sua evolução. Foram identificados dois processos de evolução dos relacionamentos nas redes: entre empresas menores com multinacionais e entre empresas de porte similar. O estudo traz contribuições relevantes ao entendimento de como se iniciam e evoluem redes de relacionamento internacionais ao longo do tempo, em particular no que se refere ao papel das relações pessoais.Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing - ESPM2017-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://internext.espm.br/internext/article/view/38210.18568/1980-4865.12162-75Internext - International Business and Management Review ; Vol. 12 No. 1 (2017): January/April; 76-90Internext; v. 12 n. 1 (2017): Janeiro/Abril; 76-901980-4865reponame:Internextinstname:Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing (ESPM)instacron:ESPMporenghttps://internext.espm.br/internext/article/view/382/301https://internext.espm.br/internext/article/view/382/302Copyright (c) 2017 Internext - Revista Eletrônica de Negócios Internacionais da ESPMinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMoraes, Sylvia Therezinha de Almeidada Rocha, AngelaFerreira da Silva, Jorge2023-06-06T20:48:38Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/382Revistahttps://internext.espm.br/internextPRIhttps://internext.espm.br/internext/oaiinternext@espm.br1980-48651980-4865opendoar:2023-06-06T20:48:38Internext - Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing (ESPM)false |
