Resumo: This dissertation investigates the characteristics of the German and European defence industrial base and explores the various strategic options available to defence companies, both in terms of internationalization and with regard to economic diplomacy. In doing so, the paper identifies four stages of internationalization, three main groups of economic diplomacy, and five types of lobbyism activities. Where applicable, the paper distinguishes between small and large enterprises because of the unequal resource base, international experience, and political influence that constitute the two groups. In the end, Rheinmetall Defence, the biggest completely German arms manufacturer, is analyzed thoroughly and the elaborated theoretical concepts are applied and compared with the company’s strategic actions. The company is currently heading for a global expansion into markets such as Poland, Romania, Saudi-Arabia and Australia. It is described which tools of internationalization are used by Rheinmetall, and how the company pursues its lobbying activities and benefits from political economic diplomacy.

Ao fazer isso, o documento identifica quatro estágios de internacionalização, três principais grupos de diplomacia econômica e cinco tipos de atividades de lobismo. Quando aplicável, este documento distingue entre pequenas e grandes empresas, tendo em conta a desigualdade em termos de recursos, experiência internacional, e influência politica que provocam uma fratura entre estes os dois grupos. Por fim, Rheinmetall Defence, a maior fabricante de armas Alemã, é analisada de forma exaustiva e os elaborados conceitos teóricos são aplicados e comparados com as ações estratégicas da companhia. Atualmente a empresa prepara-se para uma expansão global em mercados como a Polónia, Roménia, Arábia Saudita e Austrália. São descritos quais os meios de internacionalização usados pela Rheinmetall, e como a companhia prossegue com as atividades de lobismo e beneficia da diplomacia económica e política.Reis, Ricardo César Ribeiro Ventura FerreiraSampaio, Luís de AlmeidaVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaLaudenbach, Robin Johannes2017-07-28T10:18:50Z2017-07-1920172017-07-19T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/22637TID:201726106enginfo: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:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:28:53Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/22637Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:18:47.594719Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
