Origem, consolidação e internacionalização dos grupos Mexichem e Tigre

In the last three decades, the peripheral countries have played an increasing role on the international scene, mainly with regard to Foreign Direct Investment Flows ( FDI ). This increase is due not only to the economic crisis in developed economies, but also to the rapid economi...
