| description | Is time perception an idiosyncratic element in the internationalization process of technology-based firms (TBFs)? This question serves as the starting point to explore which factors influence international operations’ internationalization speed and longevity in TBFs. We gathered them into two groups based on the types of service provided and the characteristics of their clients. We analyzed these TBFs´ internationalization processes and the length of time they continued operating abroad, considering survival over time. Using a qualitative approach, we conducted a multiple case study of four internationalized TBFs from Brazil. Our findings suggest that the level of creativity required by clients impacts both the speed of internationalization and the longevity of international operations. Regarding longevity and survival, while TBFs serving creative sectors tend to adapt more easily to culturally similar markets and develop products more quickly, TBFs working traditional sectors tend to exploit local networks revealing exciting nuances about the time perception among TBFs. |
