Multinational companies (MNCs) often are restructuring and making new prioritization of investment resource allocations in their subsidiaries. The Foreign Divestment (FD) is a strategic assignment and decisionsof the MNEs top management. However, the research topic of divestment is less researched in the literature of international business. In the infrastructure industry, specifically in the economic basic sanitation sector, there was an inflow of MNCs in Brazil in the 90s. After a decade, these corporations have lined up with a homogeneous reverse movement, when they sold their operations in Brazil. The aim of this study is an in-depth investigation of the causes that led to the FD decision, and therefore it has the least favorable sector to new features for universal provision of services. The literature review is based on international divestment as well as the features and institutional aspects that guided the way in which established firm competition. In addition, we discussed the firm internal factors and the psychic distance to the business economic viability. The study was based on a qualitative in-depth research to identify the FD phenomenon through semi-structured interviews with experts who were in decision-making positions in the international investment maturation period. The findings show that the divestments in foreign subsidiaries of MNCs in the Brazilian market had a strong correlation with global macroeconomic aspects of business economic viability in Brazil and competition rules imposed by sectorial idiosyncrasies. The methodology used content analysis and emerged new opportunities in future research on innovation and technological interdependence.
