The results of that stage can be read in chapter 2, where are discussed the MNE's strategies, and in chapter 3, where are analyzed the technological collaboration between enterprises. The evolutionist approach is presented in fourth chapter, when the technical progress and the technological innovations are discussed. From this revision are constructed 4 hypotheses to be tested in confrontation with empirical data, presented in chapter 5. The evolutionist approach gets 2 hypotheses: the technological progress is cumulative and the enterprises from home countries where the national system of innovation is more efficient are more competitive.
