RESUMO:

Based on the premise that there is a constant need for companies and entrepreneurs to find alternatives to internationalize their business models as a strategy of expansion and survival, the present work endeavours to identify, from the local entrepreneurs’ perspective, the barriers to the process of internationalization of the companies incubated in Natal/RN, as to build a better understanding about the local market. The research can be classified as exploratory and descriptive, focusing on the analysis of qualitative and quantitative variables. Based on the bibliographical and documentary research, it was built a theoretical framework about the existing barriers to the internationalization of incubated companies, which in turn, allowed for the development of a research instrument using a five-point Likert scale, in order to quantify and measure the opinions and expectations from both entrepreneurs and business incubator managers about internationalization barriers. As a result of that, it was possible to define the nature of the most pressing barriers faced by local entrepreneurs vis-à-vis the internationalization process into two groups: External barriers associated with entrepreneurs’ technical limitations and strategic management barriers. It was also possible to identify some managerial features about these companies and incubators alike that can positively influence the overcoming of such barriers. Finally, based on the knowledge acquired, several strategy lines were proposed in order to maximize the networking process, improve innovation and knowledge management, and overcome technical limitations.
