Companies’ performance on the internationalization process

Abstract

Relational studies between internationalization and performance lack analytical deepening, that is why a bibliometric study was developed to identify the aspects that configure the scientific publications on the subject. The total of 104 articles published between 2008 and 2018 in international journals were analyzed, identifying that most of them do not clearly conceptualize the type of performance addressed, while the minority emphasizes the "international", "financial" and "innovation" performances. Although the number of publications is decreasing over the years (an indicative of the subject's maturity), the analyzed results allowed to identify future research opportunities.
