Abstract(s)
O presente estudo tem como objetivo fundamental compreender as motivações e
dificuldades sentidas pelas iniciativas de empreendedorismo social que atuam no âmbito
internacional, compreendendo a forma como as ONGD Portuguesas registadas no
Camões, I.P. desenvolveram o seu processo de internacionalização, não descurando a
missão que querem prestar e o impacto e valor social que querem emergir tanto no país
de destino, como a nível global.
Neste sentido, procedeu-se à revisão de literatura pertinente dedicada a este tema e à
realização de um estudo empírico com a adoção de uma abordagem metodológica
qualitativa, através de uma entrevista semiestruturada, que teve por base um guião
desenvolvido com a presença de 19 perguntas, e que foi realizada aos responsáveis de
sete ONGDs que constituíram a amostra.
Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que o que move maioritariamente as organizações
sociais a internacionalizarem-se é o confronto com as necessidades do local,
sensibilização pela situação da comunidade e a situação de carência permanente no país
de destino. Relativamente às principais dificuldades sentidas, verificou-se que as
organizações são unânimes e que apontam, em geral, os mesmos fatores, tais como o
apoio de financiamento/governamental, burocracia, corrupção, colaboração do
governo/entidades e infraestruturas básicas enfraquecidas. Os resultados visam perceber
de que modo as teorias de internacionalização são capazes de explicar as motivações para
o processo de internacionalização das ONGDs portuguesas. Foi possível averiguar, a
adequação da Teoria das Redes na explicação do processo de internacionalização seguida
no âmbito social, não deixando de parte a Teoria de Uppsala e das Born Globals, que
também permitem, ainda que em parte, a compreensão da internacionalização deste tipo
de organizações.
perceber de que modo as teorias de internacionalização são capazes de explicar as
motivações para o processo de internacionalização das ONGDs portuguesas.
The fundamental aim of this study is to understand the motivations and difficulties experienced by social entrepreneurship initiatives that operate internationally, understanding how Portuguese NGDO registered with Camões, I.P. have developed their internationalization process, without neglecting the mission they wish to provide and the impact and social value they wish to emerge both in the destination country and on a global level. In this sense, we reviewed the relevant literature dedicated to this theme and carried out an empirical study with the adoption of a qualitative methodological approach, through a semi-structured interview, based on a script developed with 19 questions, which was conducted to the heads of seven NGDO that made up the sample. The results obtained showed that the majority of social organizations are driven to internationalization by confrontation with local needs, awareness of the community situation, and the situation of permanent need in the destination country. Regarding the main difficulties experienced, it was found that the organizations are unanimous and that they generally point to the same factors, such as funding/governmental support, bureaucracy, corruption, government/entity collaboration, and weakened basic infrastructure. The results aim to understand how internationalization theories are able to explain the motivations for the internationalization process of Portuguese NGDO. It was possible to ascertain the suitability of Network Theory in explaining the internationalization process followed in the social field, not leaving aside Uppsala Theory and Born Globals, which also allow, albeit in part, an understanding of the internationalization of this type of organization. Understanding how internationalization theories are able to explain the motivations for the internationalization process of Portuguese NGDO.
