Abstract
The internationalization of companies allows them to access new markets and
exploit other growth opportunities. There are several factors associated with a
successful internationalization process, but research on these topics has been
developed mainly in developed countries. For Mexico, whose international
trade represents more than 80% of its GDP, understanding the elements that
promote a successful internationalization process is essential.
This thesis is made up of three chapters: the first analyzes the behavior of
Mexico's trade with its partners in the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement
(USMCA), to establish the importance of foreign trade for our country.
Subsequently, the literature on the internationalization of companies and trust
as a success factor in these processes is discussed. The analysis of the
literature suggests that trust, especially for companies originating in developing
countries, is indeed a crucial factor in internationalization.
To test these ideas, a third chapter presents a quantitative analysis (through a
regression analysis to establish the correlation between some variables
representative of trust and the internationalization of companies) and a
qualitative analysis (through three case studies of Mexican companies to
illustrate their internationalization processes).
The research concludes that trust is a critical component for international
business success. These conclusions can support a series of actions – for both
private and public actors – to assist Mexican companies, especially small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to capitalize on the advantage of the trade
agreements that the country has negotiated, especially the USMCA.
