Resumo: The international insertion of small andmedium-sized enterprises (SME) has attractedacademic attention with the emergence ofnew internationalization theories based on thenetwork approach. There is evidence that socialnetworks based on descent ties contribute to theinternational integration of firms, particularlysmall ones. The quantitative cross-sectionalstudy conducted with 71 SME affiliated with theBusiness Association of Blumenau, city marked byGerman immigration, sought to test the predictiverole of descent ties (content of ties and strengthof ties) in the degree of SME internationalization.The results suggest that only the strength ofties (frequency of contacts with the country ofdescent) contributes to explaining the degree ofinternationalization. Limitations of sample sizerequire caution in generalizing the results.

Há evidências de que redesde relacionamento baseadas em laços de descendênciacontribuem para a inserção internacionaldas empresas, sobretudo as de pequeno porte. Oestudo quantitativo de corte transversal realizadocom 71 PMEs filiadas à Associação Empresarialde Blumenau, município marcado pela imigraçãoalemã, procurou testar o papel preditor dos laçosde descendência (conteúdo dos laços e força doslaços) no grau de internacionalização de PMEs.Os resultados sugerem que somente a força doslaços (frequência de contatos com o país de descendência)contribui para a explicação do graude internacionalização.
