[en] FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE BRAZILIAN FIRMS: AN INTEGRATIVE MODEL / [pt] FATORES QUE INFLUENCIAM O DESEMPENHO DAS FIRMAS BRASILEIRAS: UM MODELO INTEGRATIVO

FABIO DE OLIVEIRA PAULA 09 May 2007 (has links)
[pt] O objetivo deste trabalho é responder a seguinte pergunta: Quais são os fatores que influenciam o desempenho das firmas? Para isso, foi desenvolvido um modelo integrativo utilizando o conhecimento produzido pelas escolas consagradas posicionamento e resource-based. Esse modelo prega que o desempenho é influenciado pelos recursos da firma, pela estratégia que ela adota e pela estrutura da indústria onde ela está inserida. Por sua vez, esses três fatores são influenciados pelo ambiente que cerca a firma. Esse modelo, então, foi testado pelo método de modelagem de equações estruturais Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) com dados simulados. Juntamente com o modelo proposto, foram testados dois modelos consagrados na literatura. Um baseado nas teorias da escola posicionamento (adaptado de Hill & Deeds, 1996), e o outro baseado nas teorias da escola resource-based (adaptado de Schroeder et al., 2002). O teste do modelo proposto mostrou que o desempenho realmente é afetado pelos três fatores citados acima, porém os indicadores de fit mostraram que o modelo não representa bem os dados utilizados para testá-lo. Em contrapartida, os dois modelos consagrados na literatura tiveram indicadores de fit bem melhores, o que mostra que eles representam melhor os dados simulados usados para fazer o teste com a técnica estatística utilizada. / [en] This study will address the proposed research question: Which factors influence the performance of the firms? To answer that question, an integrative model was developed based on the knowledge produced by the consecrated positioning school and resource-based view. This model says that the firm resources, the strategy adopted by the firm and the industry structure are the factors that influence the performance. In addition, the tree factors cited above are influenced by the environment. This model was, then, tested by the structural equation modeling method Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) with simulated data. Altogether with the proposed model, two consecrated by literature models were tested. The first one is based on positioning school theories (adopted from Hill & Deeds, 1996) and the second one is based on resource-based view theories (adopted from Schroeder et al., 2002). The poposed model test demonstrated that, although performance is really affected by the tree factors cited above, the fit indicators showed that the model doesn´t represent very well the data used to test it. On the other hand, the two consecrated by literature models had much better fit indicators. It shows that they represent much better the simulated data used to test them with the statistical method used.
