Os riscos fazem parte do cotidiano das empresas. Eles variam conforme sua natureza, a chance de ocorrer e o impacto que pode ocasionar às organizações. Por diversas razões, as empresas de pequeno e médio portes estão mais suscetíveis à imprevisibilidade e aos efeitos negativos dos riscos. Desse modo, é essencial que criem processos capazes de gerenciar os riscos de modo contínuo e sistêmico. Entretanto, o que se pode constatar é que ainda são raros os casos de empresas desses portes que possuam esses mecanismos de gestão. Essas empresas são fundamentais para o sistema econômico nacional, tanto pela geração de empregos quanto pelo crescimento do PIB e desenvolvimento do país. Na revisão bibliográfica desta pesquisa, o autor busca expor os principais conceitos existentes para o termo \"risco\" que, apesar de ser objeto de estudo há muito tempo, ainda possui definições bastante distintas; busca também apresentar aspectos importantes sobre o Gerenciamento de Riscos Corporativos e detalhar os dois principais modelos usados no mundo: COSO e ISO 31000, além de apresentar um modelo de identificação de riscos que abrange toda cadeia de valor das empresas. Como objetivos, identificar e avaliar quais são os principais riscos envolvidos na gestão de uma pequena empresa nacional do setor de TI, além de propor uma estratégia de tratamento para eles. A metodologia escolhida foi a pesquisa ação, na qual o pesquisador possui uma postura direta e ativa sobre a pesquisa e sobre a problemática. A pesquisa foi realizada sob uma abordagem qualitativa de caráter exploratório. Após identificação, avaliação e proposição de uma estratégia para tratamento dos riscos, conclui-se que é possível a implementação de um processo de Gerenciamento de Riscos Corporativos em uma empresa de pequeno porte e esse processo pode criar condições favoráveis para sobrevivência e crescimento das organizações. Muitos riscos descritos na literatura, que afetam negativamente as pequenas e médias empresas em vários países do globo, foram identificados na empresa analisada, enfatizando a necessidade de gestão dos riscos de um modo sistêmico, abrangente e contínuo. São poucas as pesquisas sobre este tema, na literatura nacional e, portanto, são fundamentais os estudos que possam contribuir para melhor entendimento deste universo. / Risks are part of everyday business. They vary according to their nature, the chance to occur and the impact they can have on organizations. For various reasons, small and medium-sized enterprises are more susceptible to unpredictability and the negative effects of risks. In this way, it is essential that they create processes capable of managing risks in a continuous and systemic way. However, what can be seen is that there are still rare cases of companies of these sizes that have these management mechanisms. These companies are fundamental to the national economic system, both for the generation of jobs and for the GDP growth and development of the country. In the bibliographic review of this research, the author seeks to expose the main concepts existing for the term \"risk\" that, despite being object of study for a long time, still has quite different definitions; he also seeks to present important aspects of Enterprise Risk Management and to detail the two main models used in the world: COSO and ISO 31000, in addition to presenting a model of risk identification that covers the entire value chain of companies. The objectives are to identify and evaluate the main risks involved in the management of a small national IT company, and propose a treatment strategy for them. The methodology chosen was action research, in which the researcher has a direct and active attitude about the research and the problem. The research was carried out under a qualitative approach from an exploratory perspective. After identifying, evaluating and proposing a risk management strategy, it was possible to conclude that it is possible to implement an Enterprise Risk Management process in a small company, and this process can create favorable conditions for the survival and growth of the organization. Many risks described in the literature, which negatively affect small and medium enterprises in several countries of the globe, were identified in the analyzed company, emphasizing the need for risk management in a systemic, comprehensive and continuous way. There are few researches on this topic, in the national literature and, therefore, are fundamental studies that can contribute to a better understanding of this universe.

This dissertation examines the liquidity situation of small and medium enterprises of construction segment, acting in Sergipe s public construction market. To achieve the objectives of this study we used the methods i) traditional and ii) dynamic (Fleuriet Model), because they have different methodologies of analysis, noting that the first through the CCL, ILC and ILG indicators, shows the liquidity situation at a given instant of time, as the timely indicator of solvency, while the second, using the CDG, NCG, T, AE, ILNCG and ILAE indicators, clarifies the need for working capital for the operating activities of the company, essential to the sustainability and business growth. Following the assumption of the dynamic model, the accounts of Balanços Patrimoniais and Demonstrações do Resultado do Exercício for the years 2007, 2008 and 2009 were reclassified. For this case study, 20 companies registered with the Companhia Estadual de Habitação e Obras Públicas CEHOP were selected, with contracts in force for the period 2007 to 2009, with 14 classified as medium and 6 as small businesses, using the Lei Complementar (Federal) Nº 123/2006 criterion. Through this research, it was sought to identify the financial management from the perspective of liquidity of these small and medium enterprises, and the consequences of the application, by the State Government, of the prerogative to promote specific biddings to small businesses provided in Lei Complementar (Federal) nº 123 / 2006 and Lei Estadual nº 6.206/2007. Considering the analysis of data as a group through the medians, the results indicate i) the framework for medium-sized enterprises in the type II (solid) NCG Dynamic Model in all exercises, and small type II in the years 2008 and 2009, and type I (excellent liquidity) in 2007, ii) the framework for medium-sized enterprises in the type D (financial strength) of the AE Dynamic Model in all exercises, and small in the type D (financial strength) in the years 2008 and 2009, and G (financial strength) in 2007; iii) an indication of liquidity in the financial medium and small companies when used indicators ILNCG, ILAE, ILC and ILG; iv) improved financial performance of small companies when compared from the standpoint of liquidity with the medium size; v) none of the two studied categories of companies (small and medium size) pointed to the occurrence of the "Efeito Tesoura" under Dynamic Analysis Model of both the NCG and AE; vi) indication of self-financing capacity of the operational activities of medium and small businesses; vii) there were no differences in results among the traditional indicators and the ones proposed by the dynamic models (within the limits of this case study); viii) small companies have treasury balances that support positive changes in the working capital needs caused by the leverage of their business. In the end, these results suggest applicability of the items I and II of article 48 of Lei Complementar (Federal) nº 123/2006 and items I and II of article 4 of Lei nº 6.206/2007 of Sergipe State, to do exclusive biddings for small business or their subcontracting in the other biddings, as public policy for promoting economic growth, employment and income. However, this observation from the analysis of accounting data of only 20 construction companies, selected by criteria of accessibility without statistical rigor, indicates the need to expand this research with a larger number of companies, to ensure the expected results in the adoption of this proposed public policy. / Esta dissertação estuda a situação de liquidez das pequenas e médias empresas do segmento da construção civil, atuantes no mercado de obras públicas do Estado de Sergipe. Para atingir os objetivos deste trabalho foram utilizados os métodos i) tradicional e ii) dinâmico (Modelo Fleuriet), por possuírem metodologias distintas de análise, destacando-se que o primeiro, através dos indicadores CCL, ILC e ILG, aponta a situação de liquidez em determinado instante do tempo, portanto indicador da pontual situação de solvência, enquanto que o segundo, através dos indicadores CDG, NCG, T, AE, ILNCG e ILAE, esclarece a necessidade de capital de giro para as atividades operacionais da empresa, fundamentais à sustentabilidade e crescimento dos negócios. Seguindo a premissa do Modelo Dinâmico, foram reclassificadas as contas dos Balanços Patrimoniais e das Demonstrações do Resultado do Exercício dos anos de 2007, 2008 e 2009. Selecionou-se para este estudo de caso 20 empresas cadastradas na Companhia Estadual de Habitação e Obras Públicas CEHOP, com contratos em vigor no período de 2007 a 2009, sendo 14 classificadas como médias empresas e 6 como pequenas empresas, utilizando-se o critério da Lei Complementar (Federal) nº 123/2006. Buscou-se através desta pesquisa identificar a gestão financeira sob a ótica da liquidez destas pequenas e médias empresas, e as conseqüências da aplicação pelo Governo do Estado das prerrogativas de promoção de licitações específicas para pequenas empresas previstas na Lei Complementar (Federal) nº 123/2006 e Lei Estadual Nº 6.206/2007. Considerando a análise dos dados de forma agrupada através das medianas, os resultados sinalizam i) o enquadramento das médias empresas na tipologia II (sólida) do Modelo Dinâmico NCG em todos os exercícios, e das pequenas na tipologia II nos exercícios de 2008 e 2009, e na tipologia I (excelente liquidez) em 2007; ii) o enquadramento das médias empresas na tipologia D (solidez financeira) do Modelo Dinâmico AE em todos os exercícios, e das pequenas na tipologia D (solidez financeira) nos exercícios 2008 e 2009 e G (solidez financeira) no exercício de 2007; iii) indicação de liquidez financeira nas médias e pequenas empresas quando utilizados os indicadores ILNCG, ILAE, ILC e ILG; iv) melhores desempenhos financeiros das pequenas empresas, quando comparadas sob o foco da liquidez com as médias; v) nenhuma das duas categorias de empresas estudadas (pequenas e médias) apontaram para a ocorrência do Efeito Tesoura previsto no Modelo de Análise Dinâmica, tanto da NCG como no AE; vi) indicação de capacidade de autofinanciamento das atividades operacionais das médias e pequenas empresas; vii) não foram evidenciadas divergências de resultados entre os indicadores tradicionais e os propostos pelo Modelo Dinâmico (respeitando os limites deste estudo de caso); viii) as pequenas empresas apresentam Saldos de Tesouraria que suportam variações positivas da necessidade de capital de giro ocasionadas pela alavancagem de seus negócios. Ao final, estes resultados sugerem a aplicabilidade dos itens I e II do Artº 48 da Lei Complementar (Federal) nº 123/2006 e itens I e II do Artº 4 da Lei Estadual Nº 6.206/2007 do Estado de Sergipe, no sentido de realizar licitações exclusivas para as pequenas empresas ou subcontratação destas nas demais licitações, como política pública de fomento ao crescimento econômico, emprego e renda. Entretanto, esta observação decorre da análise de dados contábeis de apenas 20 empresas de construção civil, selecionadas por critério de acessibilidade sem rigor estatístico, indicando a necessidade de ampliação desta pesquisa com um numero maior de empresas, visando assegurar os resultados esperados na adoção desta sugerida política pública.

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) have grown steadily in recent years.  SMEs generate 59.7 % of value-added and 65.5 % of employment in the ‘non-financial business economy’ in Sweden. It's important for the success of SMEs to be ready to provide high product availability to customers at minimal operation costs. The challenges faced by SMEs are tougher in global competition. There is a rapid growth in the industrial revolution to deal with the challenges as well as competition. This work mainly focuses on implementing resource planning (RP) and adapting to the latest technologies of Industry 4.0 into SMEs to face the challenges. But incorporating Industry 4.0 in a major struggle in the SMEs.  The thesis provides a view of Resource Planning implementation. The authors describe the resource planning implementation techniques and define the requirements for its successful implementation. Resource Planning (RP) adoption factors have been studied quite extensively over the years. However, this master thesis tries to investigate the less explored area of resource planning. Relatively a smaller amount of research has been conducted, when it comes to implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies especially in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).  Industry 4.0 provides new paradigms for the industrial management of SMEs. Supported by a growing number of new technologies, this concept appears more flexible and less expensive than traditional enterprise information systems. This paper presents a literature review of existing applied research covering different Industry 4.0 issues about SMEs. Furthermore, the analysis is done to understand the correlation between the identified factors of Industry 4.0 technologies. The research findings indicate that the use of IoT and Cloud computing are major advantages for resource planning in an SME. The results from the analysis are presented in a framework designed for the future adaptation of these technologies. Despite the research limitations, the findings show a high advantage. Finally, the author suggests a future scope of research.
