Abstract: The internationalization's process of emerging countries' multinational firms (EMNF) challenges the theoretical approaches in international business. This work aims to identify the specificities of EMNF's internationalization through the study of the internationalization of JBS, a Brazilian firm world leader in meat production. Based on internal company data and a collection of secondary information, we have traced around fifty acquisition operations in Brazil and abroad. Our results confirm that the EMNFs' internationalization process follows a specific trajectory compared to those revealed by last internationalization models (Born Global, Springbaord, Casino). It reveals a particular logic: strong financial dimension, acquisitions of subsidiaries of international groups, then used to acquire other firms, controlled geographical expansion and aimed at securing supply and distribution, and strong support from financial and political institutions in the origin country.
