Zusammenfassung:Global changes have led firms to the growing internationalization of their strategies. In this sense, the main objective of this work is to analyze, taking into account the theories of behavioral approach, the internationalization process of Brazilian firm TOTVS, which operates in the software industry. In order to best support the proposed analysis, three theories that make up the behavioral approach are used: Uppsala Model, networks and international entrepreneurship. Therefore, this work is characterized by qualitative bias, accomplished through a single case study that answers five basic questions of the internationalization process, according to the theoretical framework of Carneiro and Dib (2007): why, what, when, where and how the firms internationalize their activities. The results show that the internationalization movements performed by TOTVS combine, at various times, the assumptions of the theories of behavioral approach, practicing sometimes the gradualism advocated originally by the Uppsala Model and sometimes the innovative, proactive and risky behavior widespread more recently by the international entrepreneurship. Key words: Internationalization of Firms, Behavioral Approach to Internationalization, Software Industry. Mudancas globais tem levado as empresas a internacionalizacao crescente de suas estrategias. Nesse sentido, o objetivo central deste trabalho e analisar, a luz das teorias da abordagem comportamental, o processo de internacionalizacao da empresa brasileira TOTVS, que atua no setor de software. A fim de melhor sustentar a analise proposta, as tres teorias que integram a abordagem comportamental sao utilizadas: Modelo de Uppsala, networks e empreendedorismo internacional. Logo, este trabalho caracteriza-se pelo vies qualitativo, e foi realizado por meio de um estudo de caso unico que responde a cinco questoes basicas do processo de internacionalizacao, de acordo com a estrutura teorica de Carneiro e Dib (2007): por que, o que, quando, onde e como as empresas internacionalizam suas atividades. Os resultados mostram que os movimentos de internacionalizacao realizados pela TOTVS combinam, em varios momentos, os pressupostos das teorias da abordagem comportamental, praticando ora o gradualismo preconizado originalmente pelo Modelo de Uppsala, ora o comportamento inovador, proativo e arriscado difundido mais recentemente pelo empreendedorismo internacional.
