Through qualitative research in the oil and gas sector, we identified a desire to control the direction and pace of innovation as the main driver for this type of investments. A new model and framework for CVC are presented. Contrary to the traditional model of CVC, which features a dyadic relation between corporate investor and venture entrepreneur, our model shows that CVC investments create a more complex conjoint of relations between multiple stakeholders. These relations challenge the neo-Schumpeterian model of competition. Using the grounded theory approach, we created a theoretical framework explaining and predicting outcomes of corporate venture capital other than learning. At firm level, our framework conceptualizes CVC programs as dynamic capabilities, and suggests a competitive advantage for the corporate investor through its ability to faster and better integrate the new technology. At market level, we proposed that CVC investments positively affect the pace of innovation in the market through an increased speed of acceptance of technologies supported by corporate investors.

Will be discussed the major foreign markets, namely the United States and Europe, as well as specific characteristics of this market in Brazil and presented how the Brazilian authorities deal with this theme, since the assets covered here have no marking to market , as in other funds disciplined by this authority. Then will be described the methodologies and investigated the ways in which organizations approach the management methods in their rules. Finally, to achieve the main purpose, will be identified the behavior of the value of shares in the lifetime of the funds as an indicator of the most appropriate method. / Neste trabalho são estudadas as características do mercado de private equity e venture capital no Brasil, particularmente no que se refere às metodologias de avaliação de investimentos, com o intuito de procurar identificar o método que se ajusta melhor à realidade brasileira para mensuração de ativos sem cotação corrente de mercado, presentes nas carteiras dos Fundos Mútuos de Investimento em Empresas Emergentes e Fundos de Investimento em Participações. Para atingir este objetivo, serão discutidos os principais mercados no exterior, ou seja, Estados Unidos e Europa, bem como as características específicas deste mercado no Brasil, além de apresentar como a Comissão de Valores Mobiliários trata o assunto, uma vez que os ativos aqui tratados não possuem marcação a mercado, como ocorre em outros fundos disciplinados por esta autarquia. Em seguida, são descritas as metodologias a partir das quais serão investigadas as formas como as organizações gestoras abordam os métodos em seus regulamentos e confrontadas as opiniões das organizações mencionadas com as dos investidores. Por fim, busca-se atingir o objetivo proposto utilizando o comportamento do valor das cotas no período de vida dos fundos como indicador do método mais apropriado.

In the past 40 years, several authors have investigated the influence this asset class in the creation, development and transformation of thousands of companies worldwide, especially in the United States. However, literature on the determinants of PE/VC fundraising has developed only recently, and their results are far from being unanimous. In Brazil, research about the PE/VC industry is still scarce. Although the local industry has been growing fast since 2006 to achieve US$36.1 billion of committed capital in 2009, there are no studies about which variables drive investor’s capital allocation in this asset class in Brazil. Understand this dynamics is important to the market equilibrium and efficiency. Based on Gompers and Lerner (1998) work about the determinants of this industry in the United States, the present study contributes to the PE/VC literature by: (i) revisiting industry’s beginning in Brazil, and (ii) identifying the variables which are related to the development of the local industry. The results of this work contribute to the PE/VC academic development in Brazil. Moreover, the discussions presented herein may impact some related fields of study, such as Portfolio Management, Corporate Governance, Entrepreneurship, and Strategy. Practitioners may also be interested in the study. The discussion about industry’s history and fundamentals provide investors, entrepreneurs, fund managers and policymakers, among others, a better understanding of how the PE/VC ecosystem works in Brazil. / O impacto positivo dos investimentos de Private Equity e Venture Capital (PE/VC) na economia e no mercado de capitais está amplamente documentado pela literatura acadêmica internacional. Nos últimos 40 anos, diversos autores têm estudado a influência desta classe de ativos na criação, no desenvolvimento e na transformação de milhares de empresas ao redor do mundo, especialmente nos Estados Unidos. Entretanto, os estudos sobre os determinantes da captação de recursos de PE/VC têm se desenvolvido apenas mais recentemente, e seus resultados estão longe de ser uma unanimidade. No Brasil, a pesquisa sobre a indústria de PE/VC ainda é escassa. Embora a indústria local venha crescendo rapidamente desde 2006, tendo alcançado US$36,1 bilhões em capital comprometido em 2009, ainda não há estudos sobre as variáveis que influenciam na alocação de capital pelos investidores nesta modalidade de investimento no Brazil. Entender esta dinâmica é importante para o equilíbrio e a eficiência de mercado. Baseado no trabalho de Gompers e Lerner (1998) sobre os determinantes da indústria de PE/VC nos Estados Unidos, este trabalho contribui com a literatura de PE/VC ao: (i) revisitar o começo desta indústria no Brasil; e (ii) identificar quais as variáveis influenciam no desenvolvimento da indústria de PE/VC local. Os resultados deste estudo contribuem para o desenvolvimento acadêmico da indústria de PE/VC no Brasil. Além disso, as discussões aqui apresentadas poderão impactar outras áreas de estudo que são permeadas pelo tema, tais como Gestão de Investimentos, Governança Corporativa, Empreendedorismo e Estratégia. Profissionais de mercado também deverão se interessar no trabalho. As discussões sobre a história e os fundamentos da indústria fornecem aos investidores, empreendedores, gestores de investimentos e formuladores de políticas públicas, entre outros, um melhor entendimento sobre como o ecossistema de PE/VC funciona no Brasil.

Para isso adotou-se a metodologia Pooled OLS para uma amostra de 114 empresas que abriram seu capital durante o período compreendido entre 2004 e 2016 na BM&FBovespa. As variáveis independentes operacionais adotadas foram o nível de caixa, a alavancagem, o pagamento de dividendos em relação ao lucro e o interest coverage. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram uma significância estatística apenas para a métrica de interest coverage. Em relação a persistência dos efeitos não foi possível observar uma longa duração dos mesmos, geralmente o intervalo temporal de persistência foi de apenas dois ou três anos. / The main objectives of this study are to evaluate if the presence of a private equity or venture capital fund during the IPO of Brazilian companies implies on superior operational performance and to analyze if these effects are persistent over time. A Pooled OLS regression was performed on a sample of 114 companies that went public between 2004 and 2016 on BM&FBovespa. The independent operational variables adopted were cash holdings, leverage, dividends to earnings and interest coverage. Statistical significance was only obtained for the interest coverage metric. Regarding the time effects persistence, no long-term persistence was observed, usually only two or three years of short-term persistence.

The gap in management accounting skills required by venture capital providers and those possessed by small and medium enterprises in the craft industry

Shaku, Mmudi David 02 1900 (has links)
SMEs are considered as the best possible vehicle to reduce the unemployment rate and increase economic participation in the country, specifically for historically disadvantaged people. Due to, among other things, the lack of small business management skills, the potential of SMEs cannot be fully realised. From the study it was found that one of the major reasons why SMEs fail to secure loans is a lack of management accounting skills. This lack of management accounting skills is due to a lack of mentors, training and business education. The study has identified a number of management accounting skills which most of the venture capital providers consider when they evaluate applications for loans. From empirical survey it was considered that budgeting, cash flow management and product costing were considered as imperative by most venture capital providers. / Management Accounting / (M. Com.)

Para isso adotou-se a metodologia de estimação por MQO para uma amostra de 120 empresas que abriram seu capital durante o período compreendido entre os anos de 2007 e 2017 na bolsa de valores de São Paulo (BM&FBovespa). As variáveis independentes adotadas foram o volume financeiro de emissão, a quantidade e qualificação dos investidores, a própria existência de um fundo de investimento associado ao IPO, e a quantidade de reports publicados referentes a essas companhias. Os resultados obtidos não revelaram significância estatística para métricas de presença de fundos de private equity ou venture capital. Dessa forma, não foi possível a verificação de potenciais efeitos relevantes nos níveis incorridos de underpricing em decorrência da participação ou não dos mesmos nas companhias quando da abertura de capital das mesmas, tampouco da diferenciação dos retornos após o período de um ano. Nesse mesmo período, no entanto, é possível verificar uma maior cobertura de mercado nos casos em que há presença de um fundo desta natureza. / This study main objective is to evaluate if the presence of a private equity or venture capital on a Brazilian company’s shareholders structure, during its IPO process may affect the underpricing levels of its shares, analyze their return behaviors on a longer time frame and also verify possible changes in their coverage levels due to this fact. An OLS estimation was adopted for a sample of 120 companies that have performed an IPO between the years of 2007 to 2017 on São Paulo’s stock market (BM&FBovespa). The independent variables considered were the initial financial volume offered, the numbers of investors in the initial public offering process as well as their knowledge, the presence of a PE/VC fund associated to the company, and the amount of reports published referent to this companies. The results have not demonstrated statistical significance for the main variable. It was not possible to find evidence of potential effects on underpricing levels occurring in IPOs arising from the presence of a PE/VC fund on the company’s shareholder structure or their return behaviors, however a coverage level change could be verified.

Tais projetos lidam com situações de alta assimetria de informação e, consequentemente, riscos de conflitos de interesses entre agente e principal. Para viabilizar a alocação de recursos em tal situação, a gestão de projetos dentro das organizações busca minimizar os custos de agência atuando diretamente na causa raiz. Ao financiar o empreendedorismo, o venture capital (VC) e sua versão corporativa, o corporate venturing (CV), lida com a assimetria de informação de uma forma diferente. Ao invés de diminuí-la diretamente, os VCs e os CVs implementam mecanismos que os permitem explorar situações de alta assimetria de informação, e ao mesmo tempo, controlar os custos de agência decorrentes desta. Quando comparado às práticas de gestão de projetos nas organizações, as práticas de seleção, financiamento, contratos, organização e incentivos empregadas na gestão de projetos de VCs e CVs constituem um desenho de mecanismo mais eficiente para o desenvolvimento do empreendedorismo. Ainda que cada um desses cinco componentes do mecanismo empregado pelos VCs e CVs possa ser identificado na gestão de projetos corporativos, nas organizações pesquisadas, não foi possível identificar a integração desses componentes promovendo um mecanismo coeso. A prática de financiamento de projetos é a que apresentou a maior diferença. O entendimento de como as práticas de gestão de projetos podem ser configuradas num desenho de mecanismo que viabiliza o trato da assimetria de informação, ao mesmo tempo em que minimiza seus efeitos indesejáveis em termos de custos de agência, oferece às organizações uma forma gerenciável de promover um ambiente corporativo onde o empreendedorismo possa florescer.

[en] PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF MUTUAL FUNDS WITH INVESTMENTS IN EMERGING ENTERPRISES IN BRAZIL: 1994 TO 2004 / [pt] ANÁLISE DA PERFORMANCE DOS FUNDOS MÚTUOS DE INVESTIMENTO EM EMPRESAS EMERGENTES NO BRASIL ENTRE 1994 E 2004

[pt] Este trabalho analisou a performance dos Fundos Mútuos de Investimento em Empresas Emergentes no período até 2004. A análise foi realizada mediante comparações com indicadores de aplicações em renda variável e fixa, estatística descritiva, taxas internas de retorno e teste estatístico do qui-quadrado. Foram identificados, ainda, fatores a partir de análise qualitativa, tais como estratégia de investimento e relação entre gestores e investidores, com possível influência no baixo desempenho destes Fundos. O trabalho também levantou oportunidades para a reversão desse quadro e se baseou nos relatórios anuais enviados por esses Fundos à CVM. Concluiu-se que os resultados negativos das empresas investidas podem estar associados a uma falta de critério na escolha dos investimentos pelos gestores dos FMIEE, além de outros fatores como a existência da relação agente-principal (Agency), conjuntura econômica brasileira e, mesmo, deficiências do mercado de capitais no país. / [en] This dissertation analysed the performance of Mutual Funds with investments in emerging enterprises until 2004. The analysis was accomplished through comparisons with investments indexes, descriptive statistics, internal return rates and chi-squared statistical test. Factors were identified through qualitative analysis, such as investment strategy and the principal-agent relation, as possible causes of the bad perfomance of these funds. The study also indicated oportunities for the reversion of this scenario and it was based on the anual reports sent by these funds to CVM. The present study concluded that the bad performance of the invested enterprises might be imputed to the lack of more rigid investments criteria by the funds' managers, besides other aspects such as the existence of an agency problem, the Brazilian macroeconomic scenario and, even, imperfections of the local capital markets.

Management accounting and control systems used by R&D intensive firms in different organizational life-cycle stages

Silvola, H. (Hanna) 06 March 2007 (has links)
Abstract This dissertation investigates the use of management accounting and control systems in R&D intensive firms in different organizational life-cycle stages. The thesis consists of four essays focusing on two categories of management accounting and control systems: capital budgeting decisions and management control systems. First, we investigate the evaluation and financing of investment projects in R&D intensive firms. Second, we moreover investigate how R&D intensive firms themselves use management control systems and how investors control their investments in R&D intensive target firms. The survey method within a contingency framework is used in the first three essays while the last essay represents the case study method. However, the dissertation as a whole is based on two main contexts, i.e. the organizational life-cycle and the field of high technology. The results indicate that more sophisticated capital budgeting methods are used in large-sized R&D intensive firms while small-sized firms are not so likely to use these methods. The results indicate that firms understand the nature of R&D investment on the level of strategic management, because they have adopted strategic management tools in order to achieve better financial performance. We conclude that high R&D intensity plays an important role in management accounting, suggesting that large-sized high R&D intensity firms take note of special characteristics of R&D investments when taking strategic capital budgeting decisions. The comparison of the growth and revival stages extends the earlier life-cycle literature indicating that the information produced by management accounting and control systems is at least as important in the revival firm as it is during the first growth stage.

Capital is the lifeblood of a growing business : En flerfallsstudie om hur riskkapitalbolags krav och roller påverkar utvecklingen av den formella ekonomistyrningen i snabbväxande företag / Capital is the lifeblood of a growing business : A multiple case study on how venture capital companies requirements and roles affect the development of formal management control in fast-growing companies

Nilsson, Rebecca, Müller, Sandra January 2017 (has links)
Bakgrund och problem: Snabbväxande företag befinner sig ofta i en position där kapital inte räcker till för att fortsätta växa och ett av alternativen är då att involvera riskkapitalbolag. Riskkapitalbolag investerar i utbyte mot en förväntan på avkastning och mer kontroll i företaget. Riskkapitalbolaget ställer således krav på det snabbväxande företaget samt tar olika roller för att uppnå önskad avkastning. När ett företag växer behöver ekonomistyrningen utvecklas, men vad som inte har studerats är hur de krav och roller som riskkapitalbolaget har och tar kan komma att påverka den formella ekonomistyrningen i ett snabbväxande företag. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att redogöra och systematisera för vilka krav riskkapitalbolag ställer på snabbväxande företag samt vilka roller riskkapitalbolag tar när partnerskap ingåtts för att förklara hur dessa krav och roller påverkar utvecklingen av den formella ekonomistyrningen i det snabbväxande företaget. Detta för att utveckla en teoretisk modell vilken påvisar ett riskkapitalbolags ställda krav och tagna rollers koppling till utvecklingen av den formella ekonomistyrningen i det snabbväxande företaget. Metod: Utifrån studiens forskningsfråga och syfte valdes kvalitativ flerfallsstudie som lämplig forskningsmetod. Studien är tvådelad och fallen har definierats som relationerna mellan riskkapitalbolagen och portföljföretagen. Semistrukturerade intervjuer valdes som primär datainsamlingsmetod. Slutsats: De övergripande kraven som ställs av riskkapitalbolag är: krav på styrelserepresentation, krav på ökad rapportering och information samt krav på ordning. Ett riskkapitalbolag som gjort en private equity investering konstateras även ställa krav på ökad uppföljning samt krav på nyckelpersoner. Rollerna som utövas är främst bollplank, rådgivare, övervakare och kontrollant. Utveckling i den formella ekonomistyrningen sker främst i beslutsunderlag, rapportering, uppföljning, beslutsuppdelning och ansvarsenheter. En snabbare utveckling från informell till formell styrning har identifierats samt att det konstaterats att en utveckling från endast scorekeeping till utökad scorekeeping samt attention direction och problem solving skett, samt att de snabbväxande företagen snabbare tar sig från en tillväxtfas till en annan. / Background and problem: Fast-growing companies are often in a position where capital is insufficient for continued growth and one of the options is to involve venture capital companies. Venture capital companies invest in exchange for an expectation of return and control in the company. The venture capital company thus have demands on the fast growing company and takes different roles to achieve the desired return. When a company grows, the management control needs to develop, but what has not been studied is how the requirements and roles of the venture capital company can affect the formal management control in a fast-growing company. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to account for and systematize the requirements for venture capital companies on fast-growing companies and the roles of venture capital companies when partnerships were concluded to explain how these requirements and roles affect the development of formal management control in the fast-growing company. This is to develop a theoretical model which demonstrates the requirements of a venture capital company and the role of taken roles in the development of formal management control in the fast-growing company. Method: Based on the research question and purpose of the study, a qualitative multiple case study was chosen as the appropriate research method. The study is divided into two parts, and the cases have been defined as the relationships between venture capital companies and portfolio companies. Semi-structured interviews were chosen as primary data collection method. Conclusion: The overall requirements set by venture capital companies are: requirements on board representation, requirements on increased reporting and information as well as requirements on creating order. A venture capital company that has made a private equity investment is also found to require increased follow-up and requirements on hire key employees. The roles exercised are mainly sounding board, adviser, supervisor and inspector. Development in the formal management control  takes place primarily in decision making, reporting, follow-up, decision-sharing and responsibility units. A faster development from informal to formal management has been identified as well as a development from only scorekeeping to increased scorekeeping as well as attention direction and problem solving, as well as the fast-growing companies moving faster from one growth phase to another.
