Resumo: This article offers a review of John Dunning’s contribution to international business (IB) research, so as to assess the impact of Dunning and of the Eclectic paradigm on this discipline. The contribution of Dunning and of the Eclectic paradigm – usually referred to as OLI – are a core reference to current international business research, namely for studying location decisions, foreign investment, entry modes and internationalization, and for the multinational enterprise theory. First, we review the conceptual foundations of Dunning’s academic contribution. Second, methodologically, we carry out a bibliometric study of articles published in 14 respected academic business magazines over a period of 31 years, between 1980 and 2010. A sample of 697 published articles that refer to Dunning’s work supports the analysis of citations and co-citations matrixes and of relevant themes, allowing us to verify the influence of Dunning’s work on the international business and Management disciplines. This study allowed us to identify the network of connections between Dunning’s Eclectic paradigm and a variety of international business theories, concepts and authors, as well as with the main subjects studied in the discipline. We observed the connections to the transaction costs theory, resource-based view, industrial organization and evolutionary theory. This study also contributes to scholars’ better understanding of the development of the discipline and of the structure of knowledge within connections between theories and authors. Through their contributions, scholars such as John Dunning leave their imprint on the way in which disciplines and knowledge evolve. Dunning’s work, in the Eclectic paradigm, systematized three conditions that guide the internationalization of companies – and is now a reference for entrepreneurial activities, scholars and research.

La contribución de Dunning y del paradigma Ecléctico – normalmente denominado OLI – es una referencia central en la investigación actual de los negocios internacionales, en particular el estudio de las decisiones de localización, inversión, entrega e internacionalización, así como para la teoría de la empresa multinacional. En primer lugar, se revisaron los fundamentos de la contribución académica de Dunning. En segundo lugar, metodológicamente, se realizó un estudio bibliométrico de los artículos publicados en 14 revistas académicas de prestigio, en el área de Administración, en un período de 31 años, entre 1980 y 2010. Una muestra de 697 artículos que mencionan a Dunning apoya el análisis de las matrices de citas y co-citas y los campos estudiados que permiten comprobar la influencia del trabajo de Dunning en la disciplina de los negocios internacionales y en la Administración en el sentido más amplio. Este estudio ha permitido identificar una red de conexiones del paradigma ecléctico de Dunning con una variedad de teorías, conceptos y autores de negocios internacionales, y con los principales temas estudiados en la disciplina. Observamos las conexiones con la teoría de los costes de transacción, visión basada en recursos, organización industrial y teoría evolucionaria. Ha contribuido igualmente a que los académicos comprendieran mejor el desarrollo de la disciplina y la estructura del conocimiento de las interrelaciones entre teorías y autores. Algunos autores, como John Dunning, marcan con su contribución la forma en que las disciplinas y el conocimiento evolucionan. El trabajo de Dunning, en el paradigma Ecléctico, ha sistematizado tres condiciones que encabezan la internacionalización de las empresas y es hoy una referencia para la práctica empresarial, los académicos y la investigación.Palabras clave: John Dunning.

Negocios internacionales.Este artigo proporciona uma revisão da contribuição de John Dunning na pesquisa em negócios internacionais, para entender o impacto de sua obra e do paradigma Eclético na disciplina. A contribuição de Dunning e do paradigma Eclético – usualmente referido como OLI – é uma referência central na pesquisa atual em negócios internacionais e, mais frequentemente, para o estudo de decisões de localização, investimento, modos de entrada e internacionalização e para a teoria da empresa multinacional. Primeiro, fazemos uma revisão dos fundamentos da contribuição acadêmica de Dunning. Segundo, metodologicamente, realizamos um estudo bibliométrico dos artigos publicados em 14 periódicos acadêmicos de alta reputação na área da Administração, em um período de 31 anos, entre 1980 e 2010. Uma amostra de 697 artigos que citam o trabalho de Dunning apoia a análise de matrizes de citações e cocitações e dos temas abordados, permitindo verificar a influência dos trabalhos de Dunning na disciplina de negócios internacionais e em Administração, em sentido mais amplo. Este estudo permitiu identificar a rede de ligações do paradigma Eclético de Dunning com uma variedade de teorias, conceitos e autores em negócios internacionais, além de com os principais temas estudados na disciplina. Observamos as ligações com a teoria dos custos de transação, visão baseada nos recursos, organização industrial e teoria evolucionária. Contribui, também, para os acadêmicos compreenderem melhor o desenvolvimento da disciplina e a estrutura do conhecimento nas inter-relações entre teorias e autores. Alguns autores, como John Dunning, marcam a forma como as disciplinas e o conhecimento evoluem com suas contribuições. O trabalho de Dunning, no paradigma Eclético, sistematizou três condições que presidem a internacionalização das empresas e é hoje uma referência para a prática empresarial, os acadêmicos e a pesquisa.FECAP2013-04-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://rbgn.fecap.br/RBGN/article/view/116310.7819/rbgn.v15i46.1163Review of Business Management; Vol. 15 No. 46 (2013); 56-75RBGN Revista Brasileira de Gestão de Negócios; Vol. 15 Núm. 46 (2013); 56-75RBGN - Revista Brasileira de Gestão de Negócios; v. 15 n. 46 (2013); 56-751983-08071806-4892reponame:Revista Brasileira de Gestão de Negócios (Online)instname:Fundação Escola de Comércio Álvares Penteado (FECAP)instacron:FECAPengporhttps://rbgn.fecap.br/RBGN/article/view/1163/930https://rbgn.fecap.br/RBGN/article/view/1163/931Copyright (c) 2014 Review of Business Managementinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerreira, Manuel Anibal Silva Portugal VasconcelosPinto, Cláudia Sofia FriasSerra, Fernando Antonio RibeiroSantos, João Carvalho2021-07-21T16:33:36Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/1163Revistahttp://rbgn.fecap.br/RBGN/indexhttps://rbgn.fecap.br/RBGN/oai||jmauricio@fecap.br1983-08071806-4892opendoar:2021-07-21T16:33:36Revista Brasileira de Gestão de Negócios (Online) - Fundação Escola de Comércio Álvares Penteado (FECAP)false
