Chapter Chapter 7 in Foreign Direct Investments from Emerging Markets, 2010, pp 97-111 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Emerging market multinational enterprises (MNEs) have had difficulties making decisions involving their international strategic plans. These difficulties stem largely from the lack of a historical foundation for making decisions on international trade and investment, due to the relatively recent appearance of these firms as important players in the international arena. This makes it difficult to predict what might become a future success or failure in global markets. Brazilian MNEs are also experiencing these same obstacles, related to a lack of familiarity with the transnationalization process. However, in recent years, their degree of transnationalization has increased, as evidenced by a number of companies that appear regularly in the “Top Twenty Brazilian MNEs” ranking.
