Resumo: | The technological and economic changes that occurred since the second half of the twentieth century expanded markets, reduced the limits imposed by national borders and promoted a real and indisputable globalization of trade, especially for emerging countries. In this context, Brazil is shown as a major player, along with other countries that make up the BRICS - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, a group with growing political power given the relevance of their markets. Nevertheless, Brazil's share in global trade is small compared to other emerging countries. The level of internationalization is particularly low in relation to products with higher added value, with components of technological innovation. Most of the products exported by Brazil in 2011 (65.8%) consists of products of low and medium-low technology, 27.9% is medium-high technology and only 6.2% is high-tech (MDIC, 2012). Thus, this article proposes to analyze the characteristics of the internationalization of small and medium-sized technology-based companies, incubated and graduated in order to identify the role of incubators in the process. We started from three basic premises: that the technology-based companies are essentially innovative companies; business incubators constitute environments for potentiating networks, both between the incubated and graduated ones with external agents And finally, the third premise is that innovation is a competitive advantage that leverages the process of internationalization of companies and has proven crucial to the competitive performance of the company in foreign markets. The research from cases of small technology-based companies shows it is relevant given the need for Brazil to stimulate the insertion of foreign companies selling technology-intensive products, review passage The research is descriptive in character, in the form of a multicase study of six companies, three incubated and three graduated. The results show that innovation is actually set as the main advantage to compete in international markets. Intentional and planned, there is an acceleration of the internationalization process in young companies, designed with a global vision. It was found that the incubator favors the formation of social networks that encourage innovation and interaction with other actors that can foster the process of internationalization, however, no actions perceived by the entrepreneurs themselves for this purpose, which points to an opportunity to systematic action of the incubators in supporting the internationalization of companies. |

Neste contexto, o Brasil mostra-se como importante player, juntamente com os demais países que compõem o BRICS – Brasil, Rússia, Índia, China e África do Sul, grupo com poder político em expansão, dada a relevância de seus mercados. Apesar disto, a participação brasileira no comércio global ainda é pequena, quando comparada a outros países igualmente emergentes. O nível de internacionalização é particularmente mais baixo para produtos de maior valor agregado, como a inovação tecnológica. A maioria dos produtos exportados pelo Brasil em 2011 (65,8%) é composta por produtos de baixa e média-baixa tecnologia, 27,9% é de média-alta tecnologia e somente 6,2% é de alta tecnologia (MDIC, 2012). Nesse sentido, este artigo visa analisar as características do processo de internacionalização de pequenas e médias empresas de base tecnológica, incubadas e graduadas buscando identificar o papel das incubadoras nesse processo. Partiu-se de três premissas básicas: que as empresas de base tecnológica são essencialmente inovadoras; que as incubadoras de empresas se constituem em ambientes potencializadores de redes de relacionamento, tanto entre as empresas incubadas e graduadas, como com agentes externos. E, finalmente, a terceira premissa é que a inovação é uma vantagem competitiva que alavanca o processo de internacionalização de empresas e mostra-se fundamental para o desempenho competitivo da empresa no mercado externo. A pesquisa a partir de casos de pequenas empresas de base tecnológica mostra-se relevante dada a necessidade do Brasil de estimular a inserção externa de empresas que comercializam produtos intensivos em tecnologia. A pesquisa é de caráter descritivo, na forma de um estudo multicaso com seis empresas, três incubadas e três graduadas. Os resultados apontam que a inovação configura-se realmente como a principal vantagem para a competição em mercados internacionais. De forma intencional e planejada, há uma aceleração do processo de internacionalização nas empresas mais jovens, já concebidas com uma visão global. Constatou-se que a incubadora favorece a formação de redes de relacionamento que estimulam a inovação e a interação com outros atores que podem fomentar o processo de internacionalização, no entanto, não há ações percebidas pelos empresários próprias para esta finalidade, o que aponta para uma oportunidade de ação sistemática das incubadoras no apoio à internacionalização de empresas.Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina2013-05-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/EeN/article/view/92910.19177/reen.v6e12013252-274Revista Eletrônica de Estratégia & Negócios; v. 6 n. 1 (2013); 252-2741984-33721984-3372reponame:Revista Eletrônica de Estratégia e Negóciosinstname:Universidade do Sul de SC (UNISUL)instacron:UNISULporhttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/EeN/article/view/929/1097Fiates, Gabriela Gonçalves SilveiraMartins, CristinaFiates, José Eduardo AzevedoMartignago, GraciellaSantos, Neri dosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-07-07T16:16:33Zoai:portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br:article/929Revistahttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/EeNPRIhttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/EeN/oaiterezinha.angeloni@unisul.br||ademar.unisul@gmail.com1984-33721984-3372opendoar:2022-11-08T11:08:23.914522Revista Eletrônica de Estratégia e Negócios - Universidade do Sul de SC (UNISUL)false |
