 Theoretical contributions: contribution is based on offered for academic community conduct research are laid out by findings this paper
 Relevance originality: from pointed recent scientific production field knowledge international business, presented collinearity, which may render results studies invalid
 Social contributions management: among main managerial social implications achieved through our of, we stimulate development robust, relevant reliable
