NIEMBRO, Andrés. A typology of Latin American companies exporting knowledge-intensive services and the determinants of their international competitiveness. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2017, vol.33, n.142, pp.64-75. ISSN 0123-5923.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.estger.2016.12.004.

This article has several objectives: firstly, providing a typology of Latin American companies exporting knowledge-intensive services; and secondly, contributing to the study of the determinants of international competitiveness in these sectors with evidence of Latin America, as well as exploring if the influence of these factors differs between types of companies. Based on exploratory evidence of a group of Latin American firms exporting knowledge-intensive services, different business patterns are identified by means of a cluster analysis. The recognition of heterogeneous business realities and the identification of differential impacts of the determinants can contribute to a better design of policy measures tailored to each context.
