Resumo: The work aims to identify the barriers to the internationalization of technology-based SMEs in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. A theoretical framework was developed encompassing four main constructs about internationalization barriers. In total, 24 companies were evaluated; the sample was non-probabilistic, based on convenience. A cluster analysis was developed based on normalization of the observed frequencies so that comparisons of the companies’ performance could be carried out. It was noticed that the external barriers seem to be the most significant for the companies. Also, there was a lack of strategic management drive, leading to dispersed internationalization initiatives.

Se desarrolló un marco teórico sobre las barreras a la internacionalización en la literatura empresarial moderna, centrándose en la gestión estratégica, la creación de redes, los factores internos y las barreras externas. Se examinaron 21 pymes digitales; las empresas fueron escogidas en base a un muestreo Snowball. Se desarrolló un análisis de conglomerados para comparar el desempeño de las firmas y sus principales desafíos hacia la internacionalización. Las barreras externas parecen ser la barrera más importante para las empresas, pero esos factores están relacionados con la falta de impulso gerencial estratégico, lo que resultó en iniciativas de internacionalización dispersas y reactivas.O objetivo do presente artigo é identificar e analisar as barreiras à internacionalização de PMEs digitais. Foi desenvolvido um referencial teórico sobre barreiras à internacionalização na literatura moderna de negócios, com foco em gestão estratégica, networking, fatores internos e barreiras externas. 21 PMEs digitais foram examinadas; as empresas foram escolhidas com base em uma amostragem Snowball. Uma análise de cluster foi desenvolvida para comparar o desempenho das empresas e seus principais desafios para a internacionalização. As barreiras externas parecem ser a barreira mais significativa para as empresas, mas esses fatores estão relacionados à falta de direção estratégica da gestão, o que resultou em iniciativas de internacionalização dispersas e reativas.Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina2023-09-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/EeN/article/view/12516Revista Eletrônica de Estratégia & Negócios; v. 15 n. 3 (2022); 92-1171984-33721984-3372reponame:Revista Eletrônica de Estratégia e Negóciosinstname:Universidade do Sul de SC (UNISUL)instacron:UNISULenghttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/EeN/article/view/12516/13544Copyright (c) 2023 Revista Eletrônica de Estratégia & Negócioshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessda Costa Júnior, João FlorêncioCabral, Eric Lucas dos Santosde Araújo, Afrânio Galdino2023-09-25T22:27:28Zoai:portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br:article/12516Revistahttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/EeNPRIhttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/EeN/oaiterezinha.angeloni@unisul.br||ademar.unisul@gmail.com1984-33721984-3372opendoar:2023-09-25T22:27:28Revista Eletrônica de Estratégia e Negócios - Universidade do Sul de SC (UNISUL)false
