“…Surprisingly, international management studies that focus on the internationalization of BMNEs (IBMNEs) are still new. Research in this field has not yet gained momentum when compared to other management areas, such as organization studies (BERTERO; KEINERT, 1994;CARVALHO, 1995;RODRIGUES;CARRIERI, 2001;PINTO, 2001), marketing (FROEMMING;LUCE, PERIN, SAMPAIO, BEBER, TREZ, 2000a;2000b;VIEIRA, 2003), strategy (GOSLING;GONÇALVES, 2004;BIGNETTI;PAIVA, 2002), finance (LEAL; OLIVEIRA, SOLURI, 2003), operations management (ARKADER, 2003), corporate social responsibility (JABBOUR, SANTOS, BARBIERI;2008), human resources management (TONELLI; CALDAS, LACOMBE, TINOCO, 2003;CALDAS;TINOCO, 2004), and information systems (HOPPEN, 1998;MEIRELLES;HOPPEN, 2005).…”
