| description |
Due to the current global competitiveness, there is a constant need for companies to find alternatives to internationalize their business models as a strategy not only of expansion, but also survival. This reality is imperative not exclusively to large corporations, but also to small and medium enterprises that can no longer rely on their local market neither have the competitive advantages of large scale organizations, thus being prone to encounter several barriers throughout the internationalization process. Business incubators have a seminal role in the internationalization process of incubated companies, offering to entrepreneurs the tools, know-how and facilities for international development and expansion. This article endeavours to identify, from the local entrepreneurs’ perspective, the barriers to the process of internationalization of the companies incubated in the city of Natal/RN. The research was exploratory and descriptive, focusing on the analysis of qualitative and quantitative variables. In total, 22 businesses across three incubators were analysed, as a result of that, it was possible to define the nature of the most pressing barriers faced by local entrepreneurs vis-à-vis the internationalization process into two groups: (1) External barriers increased by entrepreneurs’ and incubators’ technical limitations and (2) Strategic management barriers associated with poor networking and lack of an international expansion planning. |

Debido a la competitividad global actual, existe una necesidad constante de que las empresas encuentren alternativas para internacionalizar sus modelos de negocio como estrategia no solo para el crecimiento, sino también para la supervivencia. Esta realidad es imperativa para las organizaciones de todos los tamaños, pero especialmente para las pequeñas y medianas empresas que ya no pueden depender de su mercado local ni cuentan con las tradicionales ventajas competitivas de las organizaciones de gran escala, estando sujetas a encontrar diversas barreras a lo largo del proceso de internacionalización. Las incubadoras, a su vez, juegan un papel fundamental en el proceso de internacionalización de las empresas incubadas, ofreciendo a los emprendedores las herramientas, el saber hacer y la estructura para su desarrollo y expansión internacional. Este artículo busca identificar, desde la perspectiva de los emprendedores locales, las barreras al proceso de internacionalización de empresas incubadas en la ciudad de Natal / RN. La investigación fue exploratoria y descriptiva, enfocándose en el análisis de variables cualitativas y cuantitativas. En total, se analizaron 22 empresas en tres incubadoras, por lo que se pudo definir la naturaleza de las barreras más apremiantes que enfrentan los emprendedores locales en el proceso de internacionalización en dos grupos: (1) Barreras externas agravadas por limitaciones técnicas de emprendedores e incubadoras y (2) Barreras de gestión estratégica, asociadas a redes deficientes y falta de planificación de expansión internacional. Devido à atual competitividade global, é constante a necessidade das empresas encontrarem alternativas para internacionalizar seus modelos de negócios como estratégia não só de crescimento, mas também de sobrevivência. Esta realidade é imperativa para organizações de todos os portes, mas especialmente para as PMEs que já não podem contar com o seu mercado local nem têm as vantagens competitivas tradicionais das organizações de grande escala, estando sujeitas a encontrar várias barreiras ao longo do processo de internacionalização. As incubadoras, por sua vez, têm um papel fundamental no processo de internacionalização das empresas incubadas, oferecendo aos empresários as ferramentas, know-how e estrutura para o seu desenvolvimento e expansão internacional. Este artigo busca identificar, na perspectiva dos empresários locais, as barreiras ao processo de internacionalização das empresas incubadas na cidade de Natal/RN. A pesquisa foi exploratória e descritiva, com foco na análise de variáveis ??qualitativas e quantitativas. No total, foram analisados ??22 empresas em três incubadoras, com isso foi possível definir a natureza das barreiras mais prementes que os empresários locais enfrentam no processo de internacionalização em dois grupos: (1) Barreiras externas agravadas por limitações técnicas de empreendedores e incubadoras e (2) Barreiras de gestão estratégica, associadas a redes deficientes e falta de um planejamento de expansão internacional.
