O comportamento do empreendedor e suas influências no processo de criação e no desempenho da empresa / Entrepreneurial behavior and its influences on the business creation process and on business performanceEduardo Pinto Vilas Boas 16 April 2015 (has links)
O objetivo desta tese foi verificar se o perfil do empreendedor e seu respectivo comportamento durante o processo empreendedor (processo de criação da empresa) influenciavam o desempenho da empresa criada. Para viabilizar o alcance do seu objetivo, inicialmente verificou-se o tipo de perfil e o respectivo tipo de comportamento predominantes na amostra analisada. O método principal utilizado na pesquisa é descritivo, sendo esta preponderantemente quantitativa. O perfil empreendedor foi medido com o instrumento proposto por McClelland (1987) e o comportamento do empreendedor foi medido por um instrumento criado e proposto pelo autor, visando entender o comportamento explicitado durante a criação da empresa, entre dois extremos, o causal e o effectual. Para identificar o conjunto de características mais presentes no perfil e o comportamento predominante em cada atividade do processo empreendedor foram utilizadas estatísticas descritivas. Na sequência, a análise de clusters foi realizada para identificar a existência de diferentes tipos de comportamento empreendedor. No entanto, para atingir o principal objetivo a técnica utilizada foi a modelagem de equações estruturais, mais especificamente o método de partial least square (PLS-SEM). Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário auto-administrado enviado por meio eletrônico para mais de 100.000 pessoas cadastradas em um dos principais sítios brasileiros de auxílio a empreendedores, dos quais 467 retornaram e 457 foram aproveitados após análise de outliers uni e multi variados. Os resultados revelaram que o perfil empreendedor tinha maior ocorrência de características do grupo de planejamento, seguido pelo grupo de realização e depois pelo poder. Também revelaram que o comportamento geral dos empreendedores é mais causal do que effectual, sendo que dezesseis atividades são realizadas com ênfase causal e apenas dez com ênfase effectual. Esse achado diverge da teoria recente do comportamento empreendedor que propõe a prevalência do comportamento effectual. Ainda em relação ao comportamento do empreendedor verificou-se a existência de três tipos distintos de comportamento, um comportamento mais causal (age de forma precavida, com planejamento prévio de suas ações), um comportamento intermediário (alterna a forma de agir entre planejamento prévio e ação não precedida de planejamento) e um comportamento mais effectual (age sem planejamento e posteriormente enfrenta as possíveis consequências). Um achado do estudo em relação aos tipos de comportamento foi constatar que os empreendedores modificam o seu padrão de comportamento ao longo do processo, sendo que os empreendedores que iniciam o processo de maneira mais causal tendem a ser menos causais conforme o seu avanço e os empreendedores que iniciam effectuais, tendem a ser menos effectuais ao longo do processo. Finalmente, respondendo ao objetivo principal da tese, relacionando o perfil, comportamento e desempenho, é possível afirmar que tanto o perfil quanto o comportamento influenciaram o desempenho da empresa criada. O comportamento demonstrou capacidade de exercer maior influência do que o perfil, especialmente o comportamento com ênfase causal. Foi verificado também que o modelo apresentado é mais adequado aos empreendedores do setor de comércio tradicional do que ao setor de serviços. / The purpose of the thesis is to verify whether the profile of the entrepreneur and his behavior during the entrepreneurial process (the creation of a company) influence the performance of the company created. In order to enable the scope of such purpose, there were initially verified the type of profile and the correspondent type of behavior predominant in the sample analyzed. The main method used on the research is descriptive, being the research predominantly quantitative. The entrepreneurial profile was measured by the instrument proposed by McClelland (1987) and the behavior of the entrepreneur was measured by an instrument created and proposed by the author of this thesis, aiming to understand the behavior shown during the creation of the company, between two extremes, the causal and the effectual. In order to identify the group of characteristics predominant in the profile and the predominant behavior in each activity of the entrepreneurial process, there were used descriptive statistics. Following that, the analysis of clusters was made to identify the existence of different types of entrepreneurial behavior. However, in order to achieve the main purpose, the technique used was the structural equation modeling, more specifically the partial least square (PLS-SEM) method. The data were collected through a self-administrated questionnaire sent electronically to more than 100.000 people registered on one of the Brazilian main websites of support to entrepreneurs, 467 of which have returned and 457 were used after analysis of uni and multivariate outliers. The results revealed that the entrepreneurial profile presented more of the planning group characteristics, followed by the achievement group and, after that, by the power one. They also revealed that the general behavior of the entrepreneurs is more causal than effectual: sixteen activities are carried out with causal emphasis and only ten with effectual emphasis. These finding differs from the recent theory of the entrepreneurial behavior that proposes the prevalence of the effectual behavior. Still regarding the behavior of the entrepreneur, it was verified the existence of three different types of behavior, one that is more causal (acts on a cautious way, with previous planning of actions), one intermediate behavior (varies the behavior between acting with previous planning and without previous planning) and one more effectual behavior (acts without planning and, afterward, faces possible consequences). One finding of the study, regarding the types of behavior, was to note that entrepreneurs change their pattern of behavior along the process: entrepreneurs that begin the process on a more causal way tend to be less causal as they advance and the entrepreneurs that begin effectual tend to be less effectual along the process. Finally, answering to the main purpose of the thesis, relating profile, behavior and performance, it is possible to affirm that both profile and behavior influence the performance of the company created. It was demonstrated that behavior may exercise greater influence than the profile, especially the behavior with causal emphasis. It was also verified that the model presented suits better to entrepreneurs of the traditional commerce sector than to those from services\' sector.

Cross-Cultural Training: Bridging Japan and SwedenEsposito, Brunella, Verma, Raman January 2017 (has links)
Aim – The aim of the study is to investigate the way trust and relationships can be affected by Cross-Cultural Training, which will ultimately enhance intercultural business performance. Methodology – Qualitative data is gathered by conducting semi-structured interviews which provide deep responses on Cross-Cultural Training among Japanese companies operating in Sweden. Based on secondary data, theoretical discussions are grounded serves as a foundation for the study. Findings – The study resulted in two categories of companies in which one applies Cross-Cultural Training in order to build and maintain trust and relationships when developing intercultural business practices among Japanese companies and Swedish subsidiaries. Whereas the other type of companies have a different type of International Organizational Structure in which Cross-Cultural Training is redundant and relationships and trust are preserved since they do not interact directly with the Japanese- Headquarters or employees. Limitations – The research is solely based on an extensive qualitative study. Thus, a quantitative study should be conducted in order to support these findings to provide more rigidity and reliability. A complementary study from a Japanese perspective would clarify the reasons behind the decisions made in Sweden. Implications – Academicians can extend this study in order to understand the deeper reason on why some companies decide to work with an organisational structure which differs from the traditional working behaviours and dimensions of national culture. Furthermore, the study provides implications for business managers to anticipate different cultures when conducting international business. It furthermore forms a basis for academicians to conduct future research on Cross-Cultural -business and –training. These implications are generalizable across a manifold of industries since the study is based on a multiple case study.

Kritické faktory implementace Corporate Performance Management (CPM) / Corporate performance management (CPM) and its use in practiceGřešák, Ondřej January 2008 (has links)
This thesis addresses a new management approach - "Corporate Performance Management" (CPM). It sets forth the concept of this new approach as a business performance monitoring and strategic support tool, its assumptions, framework, components, relationship to business intelligence, and related methodologies. Particular focus is placed on "key performance indicators" (KPI), their characteristics, segmentation, methods for their selection, and implementation procedures. The theoretical part of this work is devoted to creating a methodology by which CPM can be effectively implemented on projects in the financial sector with an emphasis on the critical success factors of such a project as a whole. The primary elements of this methodology are the selection of the best possible metrics, the project's overall success and the development of efficient reporting. The practical part of this work initially introduces "Project KPI 2008", which ran in Komerční banka (Czech Commercial Bank), then pits it against the theoretical methodologies defined in the theoretical section. The entire project is then assessed based on the results of the comparison, and finally, conclusions and recommendations are made for the future of this project. The main asset of this thesis is its creation of the afore-mentioned management methodologies and the ideal, course to be taken in implementing a KPI-focused project. This work is valuable not only for investigating key performance indicators themselves, but also as an informative tool for managers who would like to acquaint themselves with or learn more about the CPM concepts in general.

Från data till ett organisatoriskt förstoringsglas : En kvalitativ studie om designen av dashboards i praktikenHarju Schnee, Linn, Wallentin, Rakel January 2021 (has links)
Dashboarden har kommit att bli ett uppmärksammat verktyg bland organisationer de senaste åren. En dashboard kan beskrivas som en visuell display som förmedlar väsentlig information nödvändig för att uppnå ett eller flera objektiv, som kan övervakas med en enda blick. En effektivt designad dashboard kan optimera ett företags prestationer och beslutsfattande genom att styra medlemmar i samma riktning samt förse dem med pålitliga beslutsunderlag. Tidigare forskning och läroböcker har berört motivation, implementersstadier av dashboards, val av nyckeltal samt hur dashboards ska designas för att vara effektiva. Få studier har dock undersökt hur dashboards designas i praktiken. Syftet med denna uppsats var därför att undersöka hur företags design av dashboards ser ut, och mer specifikt hur designen varierar efter syftet med dashboarden. För att besvara problemställningen genomfördes en kvalitativ studie i form av små N-studier. Datainsamlingen inkluderade fem separata intervjuer med respondenter som varit delaktiga i designen av deras företags dashboard, samt kompletterande skärmavbilder på dessa. Studiens resultat indikerar att designen av dashboards i praktiken är komplext, men att några samband mellan syfte och design kan identifieras. Beroende på typen av dashboard, vilket korrelerar med dess syfte, kommer valet av KPI:er och funktionella egenskaper se olika ut. Inget tydligt samband mellan syfte och visuella egenskaper kunde identifieras.
