ALARCON OSUNA, Moisés Alejandro; FONG REYNOSO, Carlos  and  OCAMPO FIGUEROA, Luis Ernesto. The effects of internationalization, intangible resources and technological change on the transition to a multiproduct company: evidence of the Mexican case. Pensam. gest.

The objective of this study is to show how the transition from a single-product company to a multiproduct company is generated in a context of internationalization, based on the analysis of the effects of the accumulation of tangible resources, intangible resources and technological change. To do this, a panel data regression model was applied with data from the "enterprise survey" generated by the World Bank, in this regression it was applied the fixed effects methodology. The results show that the accumulation of intangibles, such as human capital, allows a transition to a multiproduct company, but the effect of this accumulation is higher in an internationalized company. In addition, technological change creates incentives to not move to a multiproduct company, where this effect is greater in an internationalized company.
