Resumo: | The purpose of this thesis is to fill the gap in the literature regarding cross-border innovation transfers in internationalized firms. More specifically, “How does a global strategy negatively influence innovation transfer in multinational corporations”. To address this question a qualitative research was conducted using a case study method, applied to a multinational corporation (MNC) in an innovative industry. Interviews were the primary source of data for the research, while Another cause that influenced the process failure was also found, but it was not possible to establish a relation with the firm global strategy. The findings of this research show that global strategy does influence the innovation transfer process in MNCs. The 3 main influencers identified during the case study were: (1) pressure to accept innovation transfers; (2) global strategy ahead of local needs; (3) lack of local adaptation. There was also find other cause that influenced the process failure, but it was not possible to establish a relation with the firm global strategy. |

Mais especificamente, “como a estratégia global de uma corporação multinacional influencia negativamente a transferência de inovações dentro da empresa”. Para responder a esta questão foi conduzido uma análise qualitativa, usando como método um caso de estudo aplicado a uma corporação multinacional (MNC) numa indústria inovadora. Entrevistas foram a fonte primária de informação para esta pesquisa, sendo a documentação externa e interna providenciada, a fonte secundária. Os resultados desta pesquisa mostram que a estratégia global influencia o processo de transferência de inovação em MNCs. Os 3 principais influenciadores identificados durante o estudo foram: (1) pressão para aceitar a transferência de inovação; (2) estratégia Global sobrepõe-se às necessidades dos mercados locais; (3) falta de adaptação ao mercado local. Foi também encontrada uma outra causa que influenciou o insucesso no processo de transferência, embora não tenha sido possível estabelecer uma ligação com a estratégia global da empresa.Leglise, LaureVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaAntunes, André Gonçalo Machado2018-08-01T07:54:49Z2018-03-1920182018-03-19T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/25388TID:201887509enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:30:47Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/25388Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:20:14.461296Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
