In this study we examine how the RBV has been included in IB research over the past twenty years using Barney's (1991) article as a key marker. Bibliometric techniques analyzing citations, co-citations and research themes delved into, were applied to the articles published between 1991 and 2010 in five leading IB journals. Data was collected from the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). We conclude that the RBV has been having an important impact on most of IB research themes and has been driving a large portion of current thought on the multinational corporations' strategies, location choices and internationalization. Although, we also find areas that have been explored to much lesser extent. In addition to identify the stock of accumulated knowledge, this study contributes to highlight areas for future inquiry on how IB studies may further benefit from an RBV-oriented perspective.

En este estudio se analiza la manera en que la Teoría de los Recursos y las Capacidades ha sido incorporada a la investigación en negócios internacionales durante los últimos veinte años, teniendo como referente el articulo de Barney (1991). Para tales efectos, se aplicaron técnicas bibliométricas en el análisis de citaciones, co-citaciones y temas de investigación abordados para aquellos artículos publicados entre 1991 y 2010 en cinco revistas especializadas en negocios internacionales. La información fue recopilada a partir del Social Science Citation Index (SSCI), perteneciente al Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). Se concluye que la Teoría de los Recursos y las Capacidades ha venido ejerciendo una notable influencia en gran parte de los temas de investigación en torno a los negocios internacionales. Asimismo, ha orientado muchos de los planteamientos sobre las estrategias de las corporaciones multinacionales, las decisiones de localización y sus estrategias de internacionalización. Por otra parte, se identificaron áreas que han sido exploradas en menor proporción. Este estudio busca, además de identificar el capital de conocimiento acumulado, señalar futuras áreas de investigación en que los estudios en negocios internacionales puedan seguirse beneficiando de una perspectiva orientada a los recursos y las capacidades organizacionales.

Neste estudo analisa-se a maneira em que a Teoria de Recursos e Capacidades foi incorporada na pesquisa em negócios internacionais durante os últimos vinte anos, tendo como referente o artigo de Barney (1991). Para tais efeitos, aplicaram-se técnicas bibliométricas na análise de citações, cocitações e temas de pesquisa abordados para aqueles artigos publicados entre 1991 e 2010 em cinco revistas especializadas em negócios internacionais. A informação foi recopilada a partir do Social Science Citation Index (SSCI), pertencente ao Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). Conclui-se que a Teoria de Recursos e Capacidades vem exercendo uma notável influência em grande parte dos temas de pesquisa relacionados com os negócios internacionais. Desse modo, orientou muitas das propostas sobre as estratégias das corporações multinacionais, as decisões de localização e suas estratégias de internacionalização. Por outra parte, identificaram-se áreas que foram exploradas em menor proporção. Este estudo procura, além de identificar o capital de conhecimento acumulado, indicar futuras áreas de pesquisa em que os estudos em negócios internacionais possam continuar se beneficiando de uma perspectiva orientada aos recursos e às capacidades organizacionais.
