Publication Open Access International performance: the role of determinants and inducing factors2022-02 - Pinho, Carlos; Maldonado, Isabel; Pacheco, Luís Miguel; Lobo, Carla AzevedoThis study aims to analyse the relationship between the company's internationalization performance and the factors that determine and induce this internationalization process. [...]Publication Restricted Access International determinants and inducing factors and performance of Portuguese internationalised companies2023-02-28 - Pinho, Carlos; Maldonado, Isabel; Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Pacheco, Luís MiguelPurpose This study aims to analyse the relationship between the internationalisation performance of the company and, on the one hand, the factors that determine the internationalisation strategy and, on the other hand, the factors considered as inducers of this internationalisation process. The purpose of this study is to relate the determinants and inducing factors of the internationalisation process with the performance of internationalised companies, trying to assess how these determinants and these factors contribute to better performance. Design/methodology/approach The authors sent out a questionnaire to Portuguese exporting companies, containing questions regarding determinant factors associated with both the characteristics of origin market and target market of the internationalisation process and internationalisation inducing factors. The questionnaire results were subjected to a regression analysis. Findings The results indicate a positive relationship with the characteristics of the domestic market, more specifically with the need to reduce and diversify risk and the need to win new markets and consumers. Regarding the characteristics of the foreign market, there is a positive relationship with the determinants: follow customers and favourable perspectives of growth in the new market. In relation to the internationalisation inducing factors, those factors that the entrepreneur recognises as the triggers of the internationalisation strategy, the researchers found the existence of a positive relationship with formal and informal contact networks, as well as specific employee skills, international experience and strong propensity for entrepreneurship and risk-taking. Research limitations/implications This study presents some limitations. On the one hand, the fact that the authors used the questionnaires, which seemed to be the most adequate approach, brings as a drawback the reduced number of answers. Further collection is in order to increase the sample under study. On the other hand, the literature presents different approaches that may be tested as well as the possibility of including other types of variables that the researchers will address in future studies. Originality/value By analysing the relationship between company performance in the internationalisation process and the factors that determine and induce this internationalisation process, this study seeks to identify which factors entrepreneurs should favour and strengthen to obtain a better performance in the internationalisation process. In addition, the authors use the concept of inducing factors that represent the firm's characteristics that trigger the internationalisation strategy. In a complementary perspective, the authors intend to contribute to the identification of the factors that new Portuguese entrepreneurs should pay more attention to, when starting their internationalisation process and that will improve their performance.Publication Open Access Early internationalization enhancing factors: Comparative study for Portuguese firms between 2014 and 20192020 - Maldonado, Isabel; Pacheco, Luís Miguel; Lobo, Carla AzevedoCom base numa revisão exaustiva da literatura esta investigação pretende averiguar qual a importância atribuída a diversos fatores considerados potenciadores/indutores do processo de internacionalização por parte das empresas que se internacionalizam cedo no seu ciclo de vida, utilizando a avaliação das opiniões dos próprios empresários. São considerados fatores como as redes relacionais, as competências específicas dos empresários e a experiência internacional dos colaboradores. Esta investigação pretende, para além de determinar quais os fatores impulsionadores da estratégia de internacionalização destas empresas, aferir, através de um estudo comparado entre as perspetivas dos empresários em 2014 e em 2019, das possíveis oscilações nas estratégias internacionais dos empresários portugueses, durante o período de crise económica (2014) e um período pós-crise (2019). Para atingir estes objetivos utilizamos os dados de um questionário enviado para as “empresas exportadoras e/ou com interesse em exportar” da Base de Dados da AICEP - Portugal Global, em 2014 e posteriormente em 2019. Pretende-se assim confirmar os anteriores resultados em que foram encontradas evidências da importância para os empresários portugueses das Redes Relacionais, bem como das Competências Específicas dos Colaboradores, da Experiência Internacional dos Colaboradores, em consonância com a Teoria das Redes, a Teoria do Capital Humano, a Teoria das International New Ventures, a Population Ecology Approach e com a Attention Based View.
