CASTIBLANCO MORENO, Suelen Emilia. El paradigma de internacionalización en las relaciones comerciales colombo venezolanas, una mirada desde las cadenas productivas. suma neg. [online]. 2011, vol.2, n.1, pp.79-92.  Epub May 30, 2011. ISSN 2215-910X.

The dominant paradigm in the internationalization of the economies regards the market as a regulatory entity, but the foundation lays on the development of industrial models that include all production phases with links between the private and the public sector. From these industrial models the development of a more complex and more inclusive productive process that provides more possibilities of participation in the international markets is promoted. The expansion of these models beyond local contexts makes the studies of productive linkages possibilities among countries fundamental, in the case of Colombia such countries suitable for the creation of commercial advantages because of their commercial and geographical proximity. Objective: To analyses the linkages and the potentialities for the conformation of productive chains between Colombia and Venezuela. Methodology: It is developed in three phases, 1. a review of literature about production linkages, 2. an application of complementary index for the Colombian and Venezuelan economies, and 3. a comparative analysis of the productive chains to identify country-specific advantages to produce certain goods and services. Findings: Due to the strong commercial relation between Colombia and Venezuela, the implementation of associative models (i.e., productive chains) in the internationalization process would offer competitive advantages to both countries and would make them more successful participants in international markets.
