Abstract(s)
As redes de cooperação e os sistemas produtivos locais têm merecido a atenção, e é de realçar o papel fundamental que estas têm na internacionalização das empresas.
A literatura refere as dificuldades que as empresas enfrentam aquando se pretendem internacionalizar e como as ultrapassar, por exemplo, integrando redes de cooperação ou estarem geograficamente localizadas num sistema produtivo local. De forma geral, as redes de cooperação são vistas como fundamentais para a internacionalização das empresas.
De forma a investigar o impacto que as redes de cooperação ou os sistemas produtivos locais têm no crescimento de uma empresa, utilizaram-se duas abordagens de investigação. A primeira, foi uma revisão bibliométrica apenas para a recolha dos artigos científicos e de seguida uma revisão literatura sistemática baseada em artigos científicos recolhidos na Web of Science ™ Core Colletion e uma análise utilizando o programa VOSviewer permitindo a formação de clusters.
A segunda abordagem, com o propósito de compreender os resultados obtidos previamente consistiu numa investigação qualitativa baseada em entrevistas semi-estruturadas com o intuito de perceber a importância que as redes de cooperação e a localização geográfica da empresa na sua expansão internacional. De forma a analisar a informação recolhida foi utilizado um programa de mapeamento e análise, Voyant Tools, um software de análise de texto em código que disponibiliza competências variadas de manuseamento de texto (Hetenyi et al., 2019).
Os resultados obtidos no primeiro artigo permitem concluir que as empresas, por via das redes de cooperação e sistemas produtivos locais, têm ganhos de informação, know-how, custos de transação reduzidos e conhecimento obtidos, o que facilita a sua entrada em mercados internacionais.
O segundo artigo sugere uma relação direta entre a integração em redes de cooperação e a internacionalização, fortalecendo as conclusões retiradas no primeiro artigo. Adicionalmente, a inovação dos serviços ou do produto que são, também, apontadas como cruciais para a diferenciação nos mercados internacionais.
A originalidade da dissertação é devido, que na literatura, os artigos científicos serem focados essencialmente apenas nas redes de cooperação e na internacionalização e não englobarem o impacto que os sistemas produtivos locais têm nas redes de cooperação.
Cooperation networks and local productive systems have merited the attention of many authors, and the fundamental role they play in the internationalization of companies should be highlighted. The literature refers to the difficulties that firms face when they want to internationalize and how to overcome them, for example, by integrating cooperation networks or being geographically located in a local productive system. In general, cooperation networks are seen as fundamental to the internationalization of companies. In order to investigate the impact that cooperation networks or local productive systems have on the growth of a company, two research approaches were used. The first, was a bibliometric review just to collect the scientific articles and then a systematic literature review based on scientific articles collected in the Web of Science ™ Core Colletion and an analysis using the VOSviewer program allowing the formation of clusters. The second approach, with the purpose of understanding the results previously obtained, consisted of a qualitative investigation based on semi-structured interviews in order to understand the importance that the cooperation networks and the geographical location of the company have on its international expansion. In order to analyze the information collected, a mapping and analysis program, Voyant Tools, a code text analysis software that provides varied text handling skills (Hetenyi et al., 2019), was used. The results obtained in the first article allow us to conclude that companies, through cooperation networks and local productive systems, have gains in information, know-how, reduced transaction costs, and knowledge obtained, which facilitates their entry into international markets. The second article suggests a direct relationship between integration in cooperation networks and internationalization, strengthening the conclusions drawn in the first article. In addition, service or product innovation, which are also pointed out as crucial for differentiation in international markets. The originality of this dissertation is due to the fact that in the literature, scientific articles are essentially focused only on cooperation networks and internationalization and do not encompass the impact that local production systems have on cooperation networks.
