The purpose of this article is to analyze, from the networks perspective, the process of internationalization of Brazilian companies and how this movement is influenced by government entities. In other words, the objective is to think international business not as an activity that affects only one company, but as a movement that has an impact on all interactions within their networks, which includes the public sphere. The theoretical framework that supported the analysis of the case was an integrative framework that conjugates the perspective of networks and the Institutional Theory. The research method used was the case study, carried out from the triangulation of the information obtained by the collection and analysis of empirical data, in order to get a greater view of the internationalized chain. The conclusion of this study was that the internationalization of major Brazilian construction firms to Mozambique and their consolidation in that country had and still have great influence of their networks.
