Moraes, Giseli Diniz de Almeida 05 July 2011 (has links)
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo principal diagnosticar um modelo de alinhamento entre a estratégia do negócio e a de tecnologia da informação considerando-se os fatores facilitadores e inibidores do alinhamento estratégico e as especificidades da pequena empresa. O alinhamento estratégico é abordado pelas quatro perspectivas do modelo de Henderson e Venkatraman: Execução da Estratégia, Transformação Tecnológica, Potencial Competitivo e Nível de Serviço. Os fatores facilitadores e inibidores do alinhamento estratégico são aqueles que podem influenciar positiva ou negativamente o alcance do alinhamento estratégico. Para adequar a pesquisa às pequenas empresas são consideradas as especificidades do dirigente, da organização e do ambiente, pois influem no processo de gestão, e por sua vez, estão interrelacionadas no alinhamento estratégico. O trabalho de campo dividiu-se em duas fases. Na primeira, realizou-se um levantamento exploratório, abordagem quantitativa, em 52 empresas do setor metal-mecânico com o objetivo de conhecer melhor esse setor do município de São Carlos/SP. Na segunda fase, foi realizado um estudo de caso, abordagem qualitativa, utilizando entrevistas e observações, em duas pequenas empresas do setor metal-mecânico. Como principais resultados, observou-se que as empresas realizam o alinhamento estratégico pela perspectiva de execução da estratégia. Nessa perspectiva, a estratégia do negócio é a força principal da organização, que direciona as alterações para a infraestrutura e processos da organização a fim de que estes sejam atendidos pela infraestrutura e processos da TI. Sendo assim, a TI é considerada um apoio para executar as estratégias do negócio. As diferenças na obtenção do alinhamento estratégico estão relacionadas com a presença de fatores facilitadores e inibidores, que, por sua vez, sofrem influências das especificidades de gestão das pequenas empresas. / This study has as a main objective to diagnose an alignment model between the business strategy and IT strategy, considering the enabler and inhibitor factors of the strategic alignment and the small companies specificities.

Etude de la performance de la coopétition par le capital social : le cas des mines artisanales de diamant au Kasai, en République Démocratique du Congo / Study of the performance of coopetition by social capital in a difficult environment : the case of artisanal mines exploiting Kasai diamond in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Ngidjima Loleke Lotshangola, Jose 26 October 2017 (has links)
Dans une économie globalisée actuelle, où l’environnement entrepreneurial est défini comme incertain et turbulent, les entreprises choisissent les stratégies de coopétition pour avoir des avantages et performances. Mais, selon la littérature spécialisée, si les avantages et les performances, sont mis en avant pour justifier la pertinence des stratégies de coopétition, la notion d’opportunisme du partenaire est elle aussi largement investie et identifiée par des recherches comme un frein à la coopétition. C’est de cette façon, qu’on peut constater dans cette littérature, deux thèses différenciées qui caractérisent les analyses sur la coopétition ; une relation entre concurrents, source de performances hors normes et une relation fragile et instable à tout instant, à raison de l’opportunisme présumé du partenaire. L’opportunisme du partenaire s’avère particulièrement problématique en ce qu’il conduirait à limiter les performances et avantages attendus de la coopétition. L’objectif de cette recherche est d’établir un lien entre la performance de la coopétition et le capital social. Partant de l’opportunisme du partenaire, nous avons posé que la performance d’une coopétition est fonction de deux préalables : la réduction de l’opportunisme et l’augmentation de l’engagement des acteurs en relation. Une étude empirique est menée auprès des coopétitions des TPE minières exploitant le diamant au Kasaï, en République Démocratique du Congo. Une méthodologie qualitative permet le recueil des données par entretiens semi-directs, puis l’exploitation des termes des discours en se servant de l’outil lexicometrique, « Iramuteq ». L’objectif est de repérer les éléments déterminés de manière théorique, et qui traduisent soit les enjeux de la coopétition pour les TPE d’un environnement difficile, soit la pertinence du capital social dans la performance de la coopétition. Des liens établis entre la réduction de l’opportunisme, l’augmentation de l’engagement et les avantages tirés de la coopétition avec le capital social, constituent l’apport de cette recherche. Apport qui concerne les connaissances tant en management de la coopétition, que relatives aux TPE de contexte difficile. La variable-clé, « opportunisme » du partenaire, est la source du lien constaté entre la performance de la coopétition et le capital social. La logique suivie se décline en réponse aux interrogations formulées dans la littérature par différents auteurs au sujet de l’opportunsme qui conduit à la fragilité et à l’instabilité de la coopétition. Ce qui nous autorise de formuler un modèle vertueux de la performance de la coopétition par le capital social. A l’issu de notre étude empirique, une discussion sur des implications managériales est menée, aboutissant à une forme spécifique de coopétition mobilisant deux niveaux de réseau et des préconisations sont envisagées. / In today’s global economy, where the entrepreneurial environment is defined as uncertain and turbulent, companies choses coopétition strategies to have advantage and performance. But, according to the specialized literature, if the advantage and the performance are highlighted to justify the relevance of the strategies of coopetition, the notion of opportunism of the partner is also widely invested and identified by research as a brake on coopetition. It is in this way that we can see in this literature two differentiated theses which goods the analyses on coopetition; a relationship between competitors, a source of exceptional performance and a fragile and unstable relationship at all times, on account of the supposed opportunism of the partner. The opportunism of the partner is particularly problematic in that it would lead to limiting the performance and advantages from expected coopetition. The aim of the research is to establish a link between the performance of coopetition and social capital. Based on the opportunism of the partner, we have posited that the performance of a coopetition depends on two prerequisites: the reduction of opportunism and the increase in the commitment of the actors in relationships. Year empirical study is being carried out on the coopetition of very small mining companies of diamond in kasaï in Democratic Republic of Congo. A qualitative methodology allows the collection of data by semi direct interviews and the operation of the terms of speech using the lexicon metric tool “Iramuteq”. The objective is to identify the theoretically determined elements, which reflect either the stakes of coopétition for very small mining companies in a difficult environment or the relevance of social capital in the performance of coopetition. The link between the reduction of opportunism, the increase in commitment and the advantages of coopetition with social capital are the contribution of the research, contribution that concerns the knowledge both in management if coopetition, and relating to the very small mining companies of difficult context. The key variable “opportunism” of the partner is the source of the link between the performance of coopetition and social capital. The logic followed us in response to the questions raised in the literature by different authors about the risk of opportunism that leads to the fragility and instability of coopetition. This allows us to formulate a virtuous model of the performance of coopetition through social capital. At the end of our empirical study, a discussion on managerial implications is conducted; leading to a specific form of coopetition invoicing two levels of network and recommendations are envisaged.

Intenção estratégica nas pequenas empresas : mito ou realidade?

Acevedo, Marcelo Vieira January 2011 (has links)
Com base no questionamento se as pequenas empresas e seus gestores podiam usar como ferramentas de gestão as principais teorias administrativas com a mesma eficiência que nas grandes empresas nas quais, via de regra, estas teorias foram desenvolvidas, este trabalho buscou analisar especificamente se os conceitos da teoria da intenção estratégica aplicam-se nas pequenas empresas. Esta pesquisa caracteriza-se como um estudo exploratório baseado na técnica da entrevista em profundidade, a qual foi realizada com pequenos empresários de empresas localizadas em incubadoras universitárias, no período de junho a agosto de 2011. Os resultados deste trabalho indicam que, apesar das pequenas empresas, geralmente, não conseguirem realizar um planejamento ao longo prazo e controlar o seu próprio destino, dois dos preceitos da intenção estratégica, elas são capazes de mostrar evolução na aplicação da intenção estratégica quanto a mudar o seu setor, de ter as competências necessárias para tal e de ser autor do seu próprio destino. Em síntese, conclui-se que, de maneira geral, a intenção estratégica pode ser aplicada nas pequenas empresas e que os limitadores desta aplicação são as próprias dificuldades inerentes às pequenas empresas como, por exemplo, fragilidade perante as frequentes mudanças do mercado, sobrecarga de questões operacionais por parte dos gestores e falta de recursos financeiros e humanos. / This investigation will look at whether the concepts of the strategic intent theory could be applicable specifically to small companies, with regards to whether they and their managers could use administration theories as managerial tools as effectively as they would in large corporations, where, by and large, those theories are usually developed. This is merely an exploratory study and relies on an in-depth interview technique, which was conducted with small business entrepreneurs from corporations located in university incubators, from June to August 2011. The results of this study show that despite the overall inability of small companies to conduct long-term planning and control their own futures, which are two of the precepts of strategic intent, they are able to show improvements in terms of its applicability when it comes to changing their sectors, as well as having the necessary competencies for such a move and being the authors of their own destiny. To sum up, we can assume that strategic intent can generally be applied in small companies and that the limiting factors of such application are the hardships that are inherent to small companies, such as fragility in the face of frequent market changes, excessive operational issues with regards to managers and a lack of financial and human resources.
