“…In this way, the top managements become the agents of the investors, managing agents and the stock brokers (Birkenshaw, Hood and Jonsson, 1998;Lala, 1993;O'Donnell, 2000;Roth & O'Donnell, 1996;Reuer & Miller, 1997;Roth & Morrison, 1992). The close or distant relationship between the MNC corporate headquarters and the foreign subsidiaries would reflect the aforementioned managing agency theory and the expanded version the current times of the top management acting as agents of the investors and the stock brokers (Birkenshaw, 1996;Birkenshaw, Hood and Jonsson, 1998;Rajagopalan & Finkelstein, 1992;Tosi, Katz & Gomez-Mejia, 1997;Zajac & Westphal, 1995). An important issue for foreign subsidiaries in the local competitor environments that, in part, would shape the foreign subsidiaries' offensive and defensive competitor strategies, in ways consistent with expectations of the hierarchically upward impact on the top management, managing agents, stock brokers, and, subsequently, the investors (Miravitlles, Guitart-Tarrés and Nuñez-Carballosa, 2014).…”

“…No caso do Grupo 3, os processos de internacionalização extrapolam as fronteiras nacionais do mercado-alvo, envolvendo, portanto, mandatos supralocais (BIRKINSHAW, 1996), enquanto no Grupo 4 tem-se processos de internacionalização que abarcam tanto os relacionamentos intersubsidiárias, como os mandatos supralocais. Tais resultados sinalizam que é necessá-rio o aporte da literatura de desenvolvimento de subsidiárias para que se possa compreender os processos de internacionalização enquadrados nos Grupos 2, 3 e 4 (ver Quadro 1).…”

“…Com base nessa tipologia, foram sugeridos quatro grupos tipológicos distintos de processos de internacionalização a partir dos quais aprofundamos a discussão sobre as dimensões espaciais e temporais da internacionalização da firma. Para tanto, levamos em consideração dois campos de investigação enquadrados na abordagem comportamental: o modelo relacional de internacionalização (JOHANSON e VAHLNE, 1977, 2003a, 2003b) e a literatura de desenvolvimento de subsidiárias (BIRKINSHAW, 1994(BIRKINSHAW, , 1996(BIRKINSHAW, , 1998.…”
