Para tanto, a metodologia utilizada foi o estudo de caso, com a identificação das empresas fornecedoras à indústria do petróleo, gás natural e naval no Rio Grande do Sul e, em particular no COREDE Sul, a partir de levantamentos indiretos junto à Rede Petro/RS e SEBRAE/RS, e após esta etapa foi realizado a tipificação das mesmas, através da consulta ao catálogo FIERGS, bem como aos sítios eletrônicos quando disponível. Os resultados desta dissertação evidenciam a tendência de os COREDES Metropolitano, Vale do Rio dos Sinos e Serra se consolidarem como principais fornecedores ao Polo Naval e Offshore do Rio Grande, e o COREDE Sul participando da referida cadeia com uma pequena quantidade de empresas, muitas delas prestadoras de serviços de baixo valor agregado. / This dissertation aims to identify suppliers to the petroleum industry, natural gas and naval located in Rio Grande do Sul and in particular in the region of South COREDES, inserted into Rede Petro/RS and SEBRAE (Support Service for Micro and Small Companies). For this purpose, the methodology used was case study, with the identification of suppliers to the petroleum industry, natural gas and shipbuilding in Rio Grande do Sul, particularly in South COREDES from indirect surveys by the Rede Petro/RS and SEBRAE RS, and after this step was done typing them, by consulting the catalog FIERGS as well as to their websites when available. The results of this thesis show the tendency of COREDES Metropolitan, River Valley of the Bells and Sierra are consolidated as the main suppliers to the Naval and Offshore Polo Rio Grande, and South COREDES participating in the chain with such a small number of companies, many providers services with low added value.

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2011. / What factors influence the economic sustainability of local suppliers in emerging markets in the automotive value chain? The answer to this question is not only influenced by the direct and indirect customers of the automotive component suppliers, but it is also influenced by factors on the macro-, meso- and micro-levels of the supplier‟s environment. In order to investigate the research objective, the South African automotive industry is chosen as a case study in the global automotive value chain. The literature review indicates that variables that influence the economic sustainability of suppliers can be found on the global and regional levels of the automotive industry, as well as on the industry and corporate value chain levels. As the theory does not offer a holistic approach for a problem solution, the identified factors are assembled in a conceptual model that measures the economic sustainability of automotive component suppliers with respect to financial dimensions. The conceptual model is structured according to the macro-, meso- and micro-level influences, and also recognises the impact of governance structures on the government, market, industry and corporate levels. The suggested conceptual model is subsequently tested for totality and alignment with industry features using qualitative methods and is furthermore validated by using quantitative modelling data from primary research in the supplier component industry. The analysis of the quantitative data shows that the majority of factors influencing the economic sustainability of local component suppliers can be found on the micro- and meso-levels (corporate value chain and industry value chain), whereas the qualitative data implies that economic sustainability is mainly influenced by factors on the macro- and meso-levels (industrial policy and labour market). This finding shows that there is a discrepancy between the measurable influences and the automotive component suppliers‟ perception of the research problem. Nevertheless, it can be stated that the conceptual model, as supported by the stakeholder group, can be used for further research. Alongside the development of the conceptual model, the industry data is used for a discussion about the status of the South African automotive component supplier industry in order to point out strengths and issues as well as to identify factors that should change or improve to enable a viable future for suppliers.
