Resumo Estudos apontam que a partir dos sinais emitidos pela empresa ao mercado se constrói a sua reputação, considerado um recurso estratégico capaz de gerar vantagem competitiva. Nesse contexto, neste estudo teve-se o objetivo geral de investigar a relação entre a reputação corporativa e a criação de valor nas empresas de capital aberto listadas na bolsa brasileira, BM&FBovespa. Para a construção da reputação, foram analisados cinco sinais de reputação corporativa no período de 2010 a 2012, e a criação de valor se refere ao exercício de 2013. Considerando-se a amostra, verificou-se que a reputação corporativa influencia positivamente a criação de valor. Além disso, o endividamento, a idade e o setor de impacto ambiental apresentaram relação com a criação de valor. Portanto, conclui-se que a reputação corporativa é um recurso estratégico gerado por meio de sinais emitidos para o mercado, conforme preceitos da Teoria da Sinalização, os quais, quando percebidos pelos diversos stakeholders, refletem em vantagem competitiva, sendo capazes de influenciar a criação de valor das empresas, de acordo com os pressupostos da Visão Baseada em Recursos.Palavras-chave: Reputação corporativa.

Barney’s presentation of the resource-based view (RBV) profoundly shaped the trajectory of management scholarship. This article considers the RBV’s impact specifically on the field of strategic human capital resources. Although Barney is still highly relevant, I suggest that research has not sufficiently appreciated the role that individual and collective performance behavior and outcomes play in linking human capital resources to competitive advantage. An alternative, what might be called RBV2.0, posits that research needs to recognize that human capital resources are distinct from performance behavior and outcomes. Such an observation raises the question, “Resources for what?” Answering this question leads to several important insights. First, a given type of human capital resource is only important to the extent it is related to performance behavior and outcomes that contribute to competitive advantage. Second, performance behavior is largely strategy-specific and thus firm-specific. Third, firm specificity is not a characteristic of human capital resources but rather a function of the proximity of the resource to firm-specific performance behavior and outcomes. Consequently, “Performance” is the answer to the question, “Resources for what?” This emphasis on understanding human capital resource-performance relationships adds considerable precision into the RBV, helps resolve puzzles in the strategic human capital literature relating to firm specificity and performance mobility, and promotes a deeper understanding hiding latent within Barney’s original view.

This article examines the embedding of the phenomenon of Born Globals into three existing theories of the firm. The model of Born Globals deals with young companies that begin shortly after their foundation to internationalize. The Uppsala Internationalization Model helps to delimit the concept of Born Globals from existing internationalization models and to highlight their special features. The resource-based view takes up the integration of knowledge as the key resource of Born Globals and explains the underlying mechanism with which a company achieves a sustainable competitive advantage from a bundle of resources. The knowledge-based view is concerned with the generation of knowledge and explains the learning processes that are performed by the entrepreneur. A recurring theme could be identified and contains the following elements which interconnect the three theories of the firm with the concept of Born Globals - knowledge as a key resource, learning, and integration of knowledge into organizations.

The main purpose of this chapter is to analyze why some firms fail in their international operation either right after their exposure or after a certain period of time. Resource-Based View (RBV), which deals with firms' competitive advantage and their superior performance, is used to predict the underlying reasons of firms' failure of internationalization process. In international marketing, RBV basically states that the firm internationally expands its territory when it decides to exploit its resources and capabilities in other markets. This chapter extends RBV literature by applying it to de-internationalization process of the firm. It also provides a framework that shows the actions that need to be taken when firms are faced with a failure in their international operation.
