Abstract

The purpose of this study is to conduct a systemic analysis of research on the internationalization of Latin American companies.  For this purpose, network analysis is carried out, complemented with bibliometric tools, thus achieving the identification of the perspectives on the subject. Initially, a thematic search was done in the WoS and Scopus databases; the references obtained were processed through bibliometrix and Gephi, facilitating the classification of the documents according to their relevance in three categories, classical, structural and recent, and finally, a quotation analysis is made. This last procedure allowed the identification of four main perspectives in the area: diversification and performance, entrepreneurship, exports and market, strategies, and competition.
