Heavy Construction

Considering the fact that internationalization is a booming phenomenon, the paper aims to describe the process of internationalization of Brazilian companies in the heavy construction sector which have internationalized their activities through the execution of foreign direct investment (FDI). The focus is to understand the trajectories adopted in understanding the choices made, and the identification of the results obtained by these companies, experienced in international markets. Performing empirical research in business segment of heavy construction felt the need to broaden the scope of studies related to the internationalization of service firms. About the internationalization path adopted, the analysis of four cases showed similarities. To minimize the ignorance concerning market conditions, companies work normally with local partners. Concerning strategic choices and outcomes arising, the cases showed that the maintenance of external activity followed other criteria in addition to profitability. Maintaining external operations also been explained in terms of the need for constant updating. Different stages of internationalization were identified in the companies studied.

The City

In the contemporary circumstances of accelerated globalization, every country, region and city have to compete for their part in the total number of the world's consumers, tourists, businesses, investment and experts. Creating a brand and building a favorable image of the specific city can be of great importance in the process of the realization of its economic, political and developmental objectives, differentiation with regard to competitive cities, as well as in the process of gaining a global competitive advantage. This paper examines the impact of foreign direct investment and the image of the company on the improvement of the image of the city in which the investments are realized. The results of the empirical research, which refers to the investment of the international company Fiat in the City of Kragujevac, indicate that investments, the company's image and its business have a positive influence on the image of the city, primarily through its impact on the economic and infrastructural aspects.
