Expansión internacional, Pyme, Estudio de caso, Análisis de discursoAbstract
Tradicionalmente las teorías sobre la expansión internacional de la firma presuponían que empresas similares seguían patrones únicos de comportamiento. Sin embargo, la realidad las muestra como intérpretes de oportunidades de crecimiento organizacional, que llevan a cabo acciones heterogéneas al momento de internacionalizarse. El presente trabajo, a través de una investigación de estudio de caso único, pretende comprender la experiencia de los directivos de una pyme del sector tecnológico en Argentina, quienes tomaron la decisión de internacionalizarse sin ajustarse a ningún patrón. A fin de captar la singularidad que caracteriza esta pyme, mediante el análisis del discurso de los directivos se llega a conocer cómo construyen su mundo organizacional y qué llega a ser convincente, confiable y significativo para ellos.
