Resumo: Expatriation is a current process in companies to expand their international business. Expatriation is strongly related to multinational companies’ (MNC) performance abroad because the implementation of strategies occurs more slowly without the presence of the expatriate in the subsidiary. This research proposes an expatriation model as a process with three-phase that includes Human Resource Management policies and practices to show its contribution to business internationalization. The research is descriptive and qualitative, in which thirty semi-structured interviews were carried out with managers and expatriates from Brazilian and Portuguese MNCs. Data were analyzed using the content analysis technique supported by the MAXQDA software. The results show that there is no formal planning for expatriation in the MNCs examined. There is a greater diversity of informal practices that arise to fill the gaps in expatriation. The model shows diverse practices that can support the process, making it less painful for those involved and increasing the understanding of expatriation as an object of research. However, it is up to each MNC to adjust its perspectives to its operation contexts, as there is no intention to exhaust the model.

Está fuertemente relacionada con el desempeño de los negocios en el extranjero, ya que la implementación de las estrategias ocurriría más lentamente sin la presencia del expatriado en la filial. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo proponer un modelo de expatriación como un proceso de tres fases que incluye políticas y prácticas de gestión de personas, con el fin de mostrar su contribución a la internacionalización empresarial. Para la investigación, descriptiva y cualitativa, se realizaron 30 entrevistas semiestructuradas con gerentes y expatriados en empresas brasileñas y portuguesas. Los datos se analizaron mediante la técnica de análisis de contenido apoyada en el software MAXQDA. Los resultados muestran que, en las organizaciones analizadas, no existe una planificación formal para la expatriación. Hay, por tanto, una mayor diversidad de prácticas informales que surgen para llenar los vacíos en la expatriación. El modelo muestra la diversidad de prácticas que pueden apoyar el proceso, con el objetivo de hacerlo menos doloroso para los involucrados, así como ampliar la comprensión de la expatriación como objeto de investigación. Con todo, corresponde a cada empresa ajustar sus perspectivas a sus contextos operativos, sin ánimo de agotar el modelo.A expatriação é um processo corrente nas empresas para a ampliação de negócios internacionais. A expatriação está fortemente relacionada com o desempenho empresarial no exterior, pois a implementação de estratégias ocorreria mais lentamente sem a presença do expatriado na subsidiária. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo propor um modelo de expatriação como um processo em três fases que contemplam políticas e práticas de gestão de pessoas, a fim de mostrar a sua contribuição para a internacionalização empresarial. A pesquisa é descritiva e qualitativa e contou com 30 entrevistas semiestruturadas que foram realizadas com gestores e expatriados em empresas brasileiras e portuguesas. Os dados foram analisados por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo apoiada pelo software MAXQDA. Os resultados mostram que, nas organizações analisadas, não há planejamento formal para a expatriação. Há, portanto, maior diversidade de práticas informais que surgem para suprir as lacunas da expatriação. O modelo mostra a diversidade de práticas que podem dar suporte ao processo, visando torná-lo menos penoso para os envolvidos, bem como amplia o entendimento sobre a expatriação como objeto de pesquisa. Cabe, entretanto, a cada empresa ajustar suas perspectivas a seus contextos de atuação, não se tendo a pretensão de esgotar o modelo.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2023-12-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/8913410.1590/1679-395120220237Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 21 No. 6 (2023); e2022-0237Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 21 Núm. 6 (2023); e2022-0237Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 21 n. 6 (2023); e2022-02371679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/89134/84493https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/89134/84494https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGallon, Shalimar2023-12-20T21:03:34Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/89134Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:33.700393Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
