Abstract(s)
O fenómeno da globalização económica está a crescer de forma exponencial e já
atingiu os quatro cantos do mundo, o que tem obrigado as grandes empresas e até
mesmo as PMEs de vários países a tornarem-se globais face à competitividade e às
políticas e práticas agressivas das multinacionais, transnacionais e das empresas
internacionalizadas.
Assim, o estudo do processo de internacionalização das empresas reveste-se de
grande importância para os países em desenvolvimento, como é o caso de Angola, sob
duas perspetivas: a científica, na medida em que existe ainda uma insuficiente
investigação sobre o assunto no círculo académico angolano; a empresarial, no sentido
de constituir uma ferramenta para apoiar as empresas a desenvolver as suas estratégias
para a expansão internacional.
O objetivo desta dissertação foi elaborar um estudo que permitisse perceber as
diferentes estratégias usadas pelas empresas para se expandirem internacionalmente, as
razões ou motivações da sua internacionalização e as vantagens e/ou desvantagens que
elas podem enfrentar na abordagem dos mercados externos. Assim, selecionou-se como
objeto de estudo a maior empresa pública angolana, a Sonangol, que iniciou a sua
incursão internacional há mais de 30 anos, e que se encontra num estágio muito
avançado do seu processo de internacionalização, com presença nos continentes
africano, europeu, americano e asiático.
Os resultados deste trabalho indicam que a empresa Sonangol contribuiu
bastante para a projeção internacional de Angola e da sua economia, estimulando o IDE
em Angola e a credibilidade do país diante das grandes instituições financeiras
mundiais.
Os êxitos alcançados poderão ser úteis quer para investidores quer para o
governo e outras instituições que poderão levar a cabo ações que promovam a presença
das empresas angolanas no exterior.
The phenomenon of economic globalization is growing exponentially and has reached the four corners of the world, which has forced large companies and even SMEs from different countries to become the face of global competitiveness and the policies and practices of aggressive multinational, transnational and internationalized companies. Thus, the study of the internationalization process of companies is of great importance for developing countries, as is the case of Angola, from two perspectives: scientific, in that there is still insufficient research on the subject in the Angolan academic circle; business, in order to create a tool supports businesses to develop their strategies for international expansion. The aim of this thesis was to develop a study that would allow realizing the different strategies used by companies to expand internationally, the reasons or motivations of its internationalization and the advantages and/or disadvantages they may face in addressing foreign markets. So, was selected as the study object the largest Angolan state company Sonangol, which started its international foray for over 30 years and is in a very advanced stage of its internationalization process, with a presence in the African continent, European, American and Asian. The results of this study indicate that the company Sonangol contributed greatly to the international projection of Angola and its economy, stimulating FDI in Angola and the country's credibility in the face of major global financial institutions. The achievements can be useful both for investors and for the government and other institutions that may take actions that promote the presence of Angolan companies abroad.
