Nesse sentido, dado que esses países já se industrializaram, mas ainda não atingiram os mesmos padrões de produtividade dos PADs, eles precisarão contar com Estados Desenvolvimentistas (EDs) que promovam o equilíbrio das suas condições de competição de modo a possibilitar seus desenvolvimentos econômicos. Isso deve incluir, primeiro, a promoção de sofisticação produtiva, principalmente por meio da provisão de incentivos ao P&D. Segundo, a garantia da estabilidade dos preços macroeconômicos, especialmente da taxa de câmbio, de modo a conter a sobrevalorização de suas moedas que restringe o acesso à demanda por empresas produzindo no estado de arte internacional. Terceiro, a consideração das circunstâncias internacionais criadas pelo capitalismo financeiro-rentista, no qual o liberalismo continua como mainstream econômico. / By analyzing the history of the development process of the Now-Developed Countries (NDCs), we investigate the conditions needed so that the Industrialized Developing Countries (IDCs) could complete their catching ups in the 21st century. The supported hypothesis is that since these countries have already a high level of industrialization but have not reached the same productivity levels of the NDCs yet, they should have Developmental States (DSs) to promote an equalization of their conditions of competition. This should include, firstly, the promotion of their productive sophistication, mainly through the provision of incentives to R&D. Secondly, the safeguard of the stability of the macroeconomic prices, especially that of the foreign exchange rate to constrain the overvaluing of their currencies that restrict the access to real demand of enterprises producing in the international state of art. Thirdly, the consideration of the international circumstances created by the financial-rentier capitalism, in which liberalism remains as the economic mainstream.

Cette thèse porte sur le rôle des capacités dynamiques dans le processus d’internationalisation des entreprises chinoises depuis l’entrée de la Chine dans l’Organisation mondiale du commerce en 2001 alors que ces entreprises ne disposaient pas d’avantages concurrentiels préalables clairs par rapport à leurs concurrents occidentaux. L’étude de trois multinationales chinoises – Haier Group, Huawei Technologies et TCL Corporation – est menée dans le cadre théorique des capacités dynamiques (Dynamic Capability View - DCV). Elle vise à identifier la nature et les fondations des capacités dynamiques développées par ces entreprises au cours de leur processus d’internationalisation. Ce processus est caractérisé par la combinaison d'un investissement très significatif en innovation technologique et d’une internationalisation accélérée contribuant conjointement à la création d’un avantage concurrentiel durable. Ces deux dimensions de la stratégie des entreprises bénéficient d'un fort soutien du gouvernement chinois. / This thesis focuses on the role of dynamic capabilities in the internationalization process of Chinese corporations since China’s entry into the World Trade Organization in 2001, even though these companies did not have a clear prior competitive advantage over their Western competitors. The study of three Chinese multinational enterprises – the Haier Group, Huawei Technologies and TCL Corporation – is conducted in the framework of the Dynamic-Capability View (DCV). It aims at identifying the nature and the foundations of the dynamic capabilities developed by these corporations during the internationalization process.This process is characterized by the combination of a significant investment in technological innovation and an accelerated internationalization, jointly contributing to creating and sustaining of competitive advantage. These two elements of the corporate strategies benefit from the strong support of the Chinese government.
