Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir à luz das teorias de internacionalização e competitividade, o posicionamento de uma empresa genuinamente brasileira exportadora de carnes e alimentos que se tornou um grande player global nessa indústria a JBS – Friboi que possui hoje 140 unidades de produção no mundo e mais de 120 mil colaboradores. Esta empresa que se internacionalizou de forma muito veloz nos últimos anos, se tornou líder global na produção de carne bovina, segundo maior produtor de carne de frango e terceiro maior produtor de carne suína nos EUA (JBS, 2010). O caso da JBS é emblemático quando analisado sob o conceito do diamante de Porter aplicado ao Brasil. As vantagens advindas dos recursos naturais no Brasil ajudaram a criar o expertise da JBS, e das demais empresas do setor, culminando na sua liderança neste mercado e criando escala para concorrer no exterior. A empresa ganhou escala e competitividade com a vantagem da produção pecuária em recursos naturais (condição de fatores), mas se supõe que para a manutenção da sua posição de liderança é necessária uma estratégia pautada em inovação que transcenda apenas o aumento da escala e excelência operacional.

This paper examines the financial health of the Fiscal Investment and Loan Program (FILP) as of the end of March 2001. We study the financial conditions of FILP recipients, which include public corporations and local governments. We find many are de facto insolvent. Our estimates suggest as much as 75% of the FILP loans are bad. The expected losses are estimated to be about ¥75 trillion (over 15% of GDP). We also studied the effects of the FILP reform of April 2001, which tries to introduce market discipline in allocation of FILP funds. No significant changes in financial flow are detected, yet. The financial market seems to differentiate the newly introduced FILP agency bonds, which are supposed to without government guarantee, from government guaranteed bonds. It is too early to tell, however, whether the financial market will become an effective monitor of FILP agencies.

This book examines how the interaction between political and economic factors under Doi Moi has shaped Vietnam's China policy and bilateral relations since the late 1980s.After providing a historical background, the book examines the conflicting effects that Doi Moi has generated on bilateral relations. It demonstrates that Vietnam's economic considerations following the adoption of Doi Moi contributed decidedly to the Sino-Vietnamese normalization in 1991 as well as the continuous improvements in bilateral ties ever since. At the same time, Vietnam's economic activities in the South China Sea and China's responses have intensified bilateral rivalry and put their ties under considerable strains.The book goes on to argue that Doi Moi has indeed brought Vietnam newfound opportunities to develop a multi-level Omni-directional hedging strategy against China. Finally, the book concludes by looking at the prospects of democratization in both countries and assessing the future trajectory of their relations under such circumstances. As the most comprehensive and up-to-date survey of Vietnam's relations with China over the past thirty years, the book is a useful reference source for academics, policymakers, students, and anyone interested in contemporary Vietnam foreign policy in general and Vietnam-China relations in particular
