| contents | Challenging the Uppsala Internationalization Model: a Contingent Approach to the Internationalization of Services Jorge Carneiro Angela da Rocha Jorge Ferreira da Silva Administración y Contabilidad services international business Firm internationalization Some authors have questioned whether the well-known Uppsala internationalization model would be generalizable to services. We take one of the model's assumptions that firms will follow a gradually increasing resource commitment path in each country and challenge whether it would hold up under specific service characteristics or particular combinations of environmental variables and service characteristics. We review the literature in search of more appropriate dimensions for the classification of services that would allow for the test of the Uppsala model's assumption. Based on purely conceptual reasoning, supported by previous empirical studies, we propose some hypotheses about how service firms would be expected to behave in terms of theirchoice of foreign entry mode - under certain circumstances and what the performance implications would be expected to be. These hypotheses are contrary to the Uppsala model's predictions. This paper is solely conceptual, so the key constructs (environment and service-specific variables) would still require operationalization before the hypotheses can be empirically tested. 2008 artículo científico 1807-7692 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=84150202 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.2 Vol.5 |
