Purpose: To analyze the dynamics of the organizational capacities of companies producing and exporting fresh fruit from the São Francisco River Valley in Brazil.
Methodology/approach: This is a qualitative case study, with production and exporting companies and the fruit-growing cluster as units of analysis. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with business, institutional and support industry actors, totaling 1182 minutes of recording.
Originality/Relevance: This research reveals unique findings about exporters of Brazilian agribusiness that is part of the exponent sector when it comes to international borders.
Key findings: The results reinforce the close relationship between the development of business resources and the resources of the cluster, while highlighting homogeneities and heterogeneities between the organizational capacities of companies.
Theoretical/methodological contributions: The scientific findings of this investigation intend to serve as the basis for the deepening of future research in the field of strategic administration and international businesses. In the short term, the results contribute to subsidize decision making in agribusiness exporting companies.
