Resumo: | This paper investigates the international business literature of the last forty years from the incorporation of the term global cities as a reference in the construction of new theoretical contributions. A bibliometric method was performed in two stages. In the first one, the main areas of knowledge and the seminal studies addressing the concept were identified. Most research focuses on economic geography and urban studies. In the second, the approaches used specifically in international business were organized in the main journals of the area. The results show that the studies on global cities are still incipient, highlighting, among the approaches, the relation between location advantages and specific aspects of the multinational company. In addition, there is a growing interest in the development of analyzes at the subnational level represented by global cities, from different aspects such as the choice of entry mode, the role of advanced service firms, the importance of networks and the process of knowledge transfer. The combination of the perspectives of economic geography and international business, although claimed by scholars from both areas, still lacks a more robust theoretical and empirical body in regard to cities as centers of attractiveness of foreign investment in global markets. In analyzing the importance of the phenomenon of global cities, this study contributes to a better understanding of the contemporary internationalization strategies of multinational companies, highlighting the interdisciplinary potential between international business theories and economic geography. |

Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliométrica em duas etapas. Na primeira, foram identificadas as principais áreas de conhecimento e os estudos seminais abordando o conceito. A maior parte das pesquisas concentram-se na geografia econômica e nos estudos urbanos. Na segunda, foram organizadas as abordagens utilizadas especificamente em negócios internacionais nos principais periódicos da área. Os resultados demonstram que os estudos sobre cidades globais são ainda incipientes destacando-se, dentre as abordagens, a relação entre vantagens de localização e aspectos específicos da empresa multinacional. Existe crescente interesse no desenvolvimento de análises em nível subnacional representado pelas cidades globais, a partir de diferentes aspectos como a escolha do modo de entrada, o papel das empresas de serviços avançados, a importância das redes e o processo de transferência de conhecimento. A combinação entre as perspectivas da geografia econômica e de negócios internacionais, embora reivindicada há algum tempo por estudiosos de ambas as áreas, ainda carece de um corpo teórico e empírico mais robusto no que se refere as cidades como centros de atratividade de investimentos estrangeiros em mercados globais. Ao analisar a importância do fenômeno das cidades globais, o estudo contribui para melhor compreensão das estratégias contemporâneas de internacionalização das empresas multinacionais, ressaltando o potencial interdisciplinar entre as teorias de negócios internacionais e geografia econômica.Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing - ESPM2017-01-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://internext.espm.br/internext/article/view/35910.18568/1980-4865.11349-63Internext - International Business and Management Review ; Vol. 11 No. 3 (2016): September/December; 49-63Internext; v. 11 n. 3 (2016): Setembro/Dezembro; 49-631980-4865reponame:Internextinstname:Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing (ESPM)instacron:ESPMporenghttps://internext.espm.br/internext/article/view/359/290https://internext.espm.br/internext/article/view/359/291Copyright (c) 2016 Internext - Revista Eletrônica de Negócios Internacionais da ESPMinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessIzumi, Paulo KazuhiroCouto, Cyro Augusto PachicoskiOgasavara, Mário Henrique2023-06-06T20:48:57Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/359Revistahttps://internext.espm.br/internextPRIhttps://internext.espm.br/internext/oaiinternext@espm.br1980-48651980-4865opendoar:2023-06-06T20:48:57Internext - Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing (ESPM)false |
