Resumo: | |||||||||||||
The purpose of this research is to inquire about an emergent type of International New Venture, the Borderless Firm, by presenting a case study on a small and young Brazilian company that can be framed in this type of firm main characteristics. The analysis details how was the process of establishing internationally coordinated activities, also trying to understand the company s motivations and the relevance of international networks to this trajectory.
Although the research is based on a single case study due to current limitations of identifying companies that present the Borderless Firm configuration, it is believed that the Zee.dog case contributes to corroborate certain aspects of the incipient theory, such as the diversity of reasons that influence the companies internationalization decisions, the alternance between the logics of causation and effectuation that seems to guide this process and the importance that networks relationships assume not only to the acknowledgement of new opportunities, but to diminish the barriers of broadening internationalization and as an alternative governance mechanism to avoid opportunism.
Furthermore, this study indicates that the global configuration grounded by the coordination of geographically dispersed activities and based on complex relationships with multiple international actors may become source of sustainable competitive advantages that are required to survival in the global market.
