contents Multinationals and Interdependence in Internationalisation Processes Sérgio Fernando Loureiro Rezende Administración y Contabilidad multinationals interdependence internationalization This article deals with interdependence and the internationalisation process of multinationals (MNCs); a topic that hasreceived scarce attention in the literature (e.g. Bell & Young, 1998; Holm et al., 1995). By reviewing the literature onbehavioural models of internationalisation, initially, the article suggests that MNCs should be regarded as loosely coupledsystems in which independence and interdependence of operations shape how MNCs evolve and organise activities acrossborders. Subsequently, the article models the internationalisation process of MNCs by highlighting three dimensions thatcharacterise their pattern of evolution - uniformity, direction and rhythm, and lays out three hypotheses on the relationshipbetween these dimensions and interdependence. The direction of the relationship is suggested to be negative, i.e., other thingsbeing equal, interdependence is negatively related to uniformity, direction and the rhythm of the internationalisationprocesses. The article concludes by claiming that the internationalisation of MNCs results from an intricate combination ofindependent, yet interdependent, internationalisation processes that evolve in various spatial and temporal contexts within theMNC network. 2006 artículo científico 1807-7692 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=84130102 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=841 BAR - Brazilian Administration Review application/pdf Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Administração BAR - Brazilian Administration Review (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.3
