A Descriptive Study of a Brazilian Startup0 aTo Internationalize or Not to Internationalize A Descriptive Stu  aOttawabTalent First Networkc03/2018  a38-460 v83 aThis study examines the failed internationalization experience of a Brazilian high-tech startup. The research methodology of the study is descriptive and aims to explore whether this startup should re-internationalize, despite an unsuccessful first experience. Based on interviews with the founders, it was found that the initial internationalization took place in an incipient way, in the heat of the moment. The lack of success with the initial internationalization did not shake the directors of the startup, who aim to return to internationalization, now in a consolidated way and counting on the advice of an investor. Despite its bitter first experience, should the startup try again? Through an analysis of the lessons learned from the startup’s initial failure and insights from its consideration of a possible second attempt, this study contributes to the literature on competitiveness, internationalization, and international entrepreneurship.10aentrepreneurial10ainnovation10ainternationalization10astartups10atechnology1 aScherer, Flavia, Luciane1 aMinello, Italo, Fernando1 aKrüger, Cristiane1 aRizzatti, Andréa, Bach  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/1145
