The globalization context stimulates many companies to search for new ways to obtain competitive advantage though International Purchasing. Nevertheless, in the global scope of Supply Chain operations, the complexity growth of financial and resources flows have increased the risks related to International Purchasing activities. The use of Risk Management tools for International Supply Chain together with a more strategic view of the Purchasing role for better understanding of the main steps for International Purchasing Cycle can be decisive for one company performance. This study aims to verify how the presence of risk can mediate the relation between International Purchasing and Perceived Performance in the energy and electric/electronics sectors in Brazil. In recent years, ABINEE, association which represents these sectors, has demonstrated growing concern about international crisis repercussion in exportation volume and importation growth. The research was developed in 02 steps. Initially, it was done one exploratory research based on depth interviews with Purchasing or Sourcing Managers which were analyzed using semantic content for an initial view of the risks perception and main ways to manage them. Further, it was done a descriptive research using quantitative method to analyze the simultaneous relation among the constructs based on 149 questionnaires obtained from network professional contacts in the relationship site Linkedin using Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling. The hypothesis which the risks, solely, mediate the relationship with performance was not validated. The results validated the hypothesis which indicates the bigger the likelihood of risks occurrence, the more effective the International Purchasing Management must be and also validated the hypothesis indicating that an effective International Purchasing Management can have positive impact in the Company Performance. The contributions of this study are relevant to the national context of both academic and practical aspects to add the risks for an effective International Purchasing Management in the energy, electric/electronic sectors, which are still dependent on foreign technology.
