: escolha do modelo mais adequado às PMEs do setor agroalimentar português

Abstract

Despite the growing importance of enterprise’s internationalization, this Master Thesis spotted a shortage of scientific papers related with the evaluation of the necessary capacities for the referred internationalization. With a central focus on the reinforcement of the international competitiveness of the Portuguese companies of the agrofood sector, was carried out a Literature Review about frameworks with the ability to access the internationalization capacities of Small and Medium Sized Enterprises and identified 4 models for deeper analysis. From the analysis, Achtenhagen (2011) framework stood out to be the most suitable to access the internationalization capability of the enterprises from the agrofood national sector, specially, given the positive correlation between the dimensions, subdimensions and indicators to the specificities of the mentioned sector.
