This study analyses the internationalization characteristics of Large Brazilian Pharmaceutical Companies. It contributes to the international business and evolutionary literature by showing how the home country institutional environment affects the firms’ internationalization at a country- and industry-level. The methodology is a multiple case study with eight companies, exploring their competitive advantages, strategies, and obstacles to international expansion. Findings reveal that home country institutional environment constraints pushed companies to build capabilities to survive and compete in the domestic market, which served as advantages when going international. Companies’ internationalization is driven by the exploitation and exploration of assets and capabilities.
