Resumo

Objetivo: Examinar a influência dos recursos organizacionais e das instituições nas estratégias de internacionalização de um grupo de pequenas e médias empresas (PMEs) brasileiras. Método: Estudo exploratório, envolvendo entrevistas com gestores de 20 PMEs exportadoras, focando nas características gerenciais, qualidade dos produtos, conhecimento e aprendizado, inovação, instituições e internacionalização. Uma análise de conteúdo foi conduzida posteriormente. Principais Resultados: As estratégias de internacionalização, especificamente exportações, são principalmente impulsionadas pela necessidade de sobrevivência como resposta a um ambiente empresarial doméstico desafiador e à necessidade de alcançar economias de escala, apesar do tamanho do mercado doméstico. Assim, as organizações alocam estrategicamente seus recursos para superar barreiras institucionais, nos mercados doméstico e europeu, garantindo a continuidade e o fortalecimento das relações comerciais. Relevância / Originalidade: A literatura sobre internacionalização foca no crescimento de PMEs de economias ocidentais rumo a economias emergentes por causa da saturação de mercado em economias desenvolvidas. Este estudo contribui para o tema emergente da internacionalização como estratégia de sobrevivência, explorando como PMEs de economias emergentes mobilizam recursos para lidar com desafios institucionais em seus mercados domésticos nos mercados-alvo estrangeiros. Contribuições Teóricas / Metodológicas / Sociais / Gerenciais: Traços gerenciais valorizados e associados ao sucesso internacional incluem: reconhecimento de oportunidades, percepção de riscos ambientais, mitigação de riscos, negociação e construção de parcerias. Esses fatores são facilitados por laços culturais e práticas de gestão voltados ao compartilhamento de conhecimento, traduzindo demandas de clientes/mercados em produtos/serviços concretos, especialmente diante de percepções mistas sobre a reputação do país de origem e preconceitos. A internacionalização das PMEs brasileiras é, portanto, impulsionada tanto por oportunidades de mercado quanto pela baixa qualidade institucional.
