Following this strategy, global companies would reuse some of the technologies developed in the headquarter but are also capable of generating patents through projects of R&D (Research and Development) conducted in subsidiaries. This study analyzed the process of capacity development in a dynamic R&D subsidiary, the Nokia Institute of Technology (INdT), located in Manaus (Brazil). The analysis is conducted through the framework of dynamic capabilities because there it was identified a constant process of reconfiguration of resources and expertise was designed to enable INdT to execute R&D activities in an extremely dynamic market, telecommunications. Moreover, this is considered an exploratory study, since there are still relatively rare references regarding similar subsidiaries in Brazil who have reached a significant intellectual production and global. The study used the model of dynamic capabilities to evaluate the process of organizational learning, based on the works of Teece and Zollo (2002) and Pisano (2000) that aim to study the leraning through the R&D activities performed by INdT. Then it s studied the network of partnerships established by the Institute with universities and companies, assessing how this collaboration network relates to the process of organizational learning. Finally, it s analyzed the information exchange with the matrix, trying to understand what knowledge transfer strategies were adopted. This study identified several activities designed to deliberately reconfigure internal resources and intellectual assets INdT in order to enable it to learn new technologies and execute P&D projects involving these technologies. The analysis of the various dimensions of learning revealed that there was a complex process of evolution of skills, involving parallel initiatives and possibly unrelated to each other, demonstrating the variety of possible ways to boost learning, consolidate dynamic capabilities and enable innovation / O desenvolvimento de atividades de pesquisa em subsidiárias de transnacionais pode ser um componente da estratégia global para inserção em novos mercados, através da agregação de características locais aos produtos dessas empresas. Seguindo essa estratégia, algumas empresas globais reutilizariam parte das tecnologias desenvolvidas na matriz mas seriam também capazes de gerar patentes através de projetos de P&D (Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento) conduzidos nas subsidiárias. Este trabalho analisou o processo de desenvolvimento de capacidades dinâmicas em uma subsidiária de P&D, o Instituto Nokia de Tecnologia (INdT), situado em Manaus (Brasil). Utilizou-se a análise por meio do framework de capacidades dinâmicas pois verificou-se que um constante processo de reconfiguração de recursos e competências foi concebido pelo INdT para possibilitar a condução de P&D em um mercado extremamente dinâmico tecnologicamente, o de telecomunicações. Por outro lado, considerou-se que esse seria um estudo exploratório, uma vez que ainda são relativamente raros os casos de subsidiárias similares no Brasil que tenham atingido uma produção intelectual significativa e de de nível mundial. Inicialmente analisou-se como o modelo de capacidades dinâmicas se aplicaria ao processo de aprendizado organizacional, tendo como referência os trabalhos de Teece e Zollo (2002) e Pisano (2000) para estudar o aprndizado por meio dos projetos de P&D realizados pelo INdT. Em seguida, estudou-se a rede de parcerias estabelecidas pelo instituto com universidades e empresas, avaliando de que forma essa rede de colaboração relaciona-se com o processo de aprendizagem organizacional. Finalmente, analisou-se o intercâmbio de informações com a matriz, buscando entender quais estratégias de transferência de conhecimento foram adotadas. Este estudo possibilitou a identificação de diversas atividades concebidas para deliberadamente se reconfigurar os recursos internos e os ativos intelectuais do INdT, para possibilitar o aprendizado de novas tecnologias e o desenvolvimento de projetos envolvendo essas tecnologias. A análise das diversas dimensões da aprendizagem revelou que ocorreu um complexo processo de evolução de competências, envolvendo iniciativas paralelas e eventualmente pouco relacionadas entre si, o que demonstra a multiplicidade das formas possíveis para se impulsionar o aprendizado, criar capacidades dinâmicas e possibilitar a inovação

As organizações estão expostas a uma quantidade e variabilidade cada vez mais crescente de informações. A capacidade de se antecipar às tendências e se adequar ao ambiente passa a ser, além de fonte de vantagem competitiva, fator necessário para a sobrevivência. Nessa realidade, organizações frequentemente apresentam dificuldades de leitura de seu ambiente e adaptação ao meio. Acredita-se na necessidade de desenvolvimento de uma capacidade interna da organização para que o monitoramento do ambiente se estabeleça, bem como análise de oportunidades, planejamento de ações de melhoria e reconfiguração da organização. Este estudo buscou verificar a relação da Inteligência - enquanto processo de monitoramento do ambiente - como uma Capacidades Dinâmica, e de como esta pode contribuir com a geração de vantagem competitiva. Criou-se um modelo de pesquisa, utilizando-se dos modelos de Rios (2010) e Teece (2014), relacionando os conceitos de Inteligência e Capacidade Dinâmicas, e estas com a Vantagem Competitiva. Por meio de um questionário, realizou-se uma Pesquisa Survey, onde coletaram-se respostas de funcionários e/ou sócio de empresas brasileiras, independente de porte ou segmento. Para análise, utilizou-se da Modelagem de Equações Estruturais, e foi possível demonstrar que a Inteligência influencia positivamente nas Capacidades Dinâmicas do sub-grupo Transforming, na Estratégia e na Vantagem Competitiva. Dessa forma o modelo desenvolvido, tendo apresentado boa confiabilidade e aderência, pode também ser validado. / Organizations are exposed to an increasing amount and variability of information. The ability to anticipate trends and adapt to the environment becomes, besides a source of competitive advantage, a necessary factor for survival. In this reality, organizations frequently present difficulties in reading their environment and adapting to them. We believe in the need to develop an internal capacity of the organization for the monitoring of the environment to be established, as well as analysis of opportunities, planning of actions of improvement and reconfiguration of the organization. This study sought to verify the relationship of Intelligence - as a process of monitoring the environment - as a Dynamic Capabilities, and how this can contribute to the generation of competitive advantage. A research model was created, using the models of Rios (2010) and Teece (2014), relating the concepts of Dynamic Intelligence and Capacity, and these with the Competitive Advantage. By means of a questionnaire, a Survey Research was conducted, where responses were collected from employees and / or partners of Brazilian companies, regardless of size or segment. For the analysis, it was used the Modeling of Structural Equations, and it was possible to demonstrate that the Intelligence influences positively in the Dynamic Capacities of the Transforming subgroup, in the Strategy and the Competitive Advantage. In this way the developed model, having presented good reliability and adhesion, can also be validated.

Purpose: Finding which resources and capabilities are deployed among Istanbul-based apparel manufacturers, evaluating to what extent they are tangible, intangible as well as capabilities as well as lastly analysing them according to the valuable, rare, inimitable and non-substitutable framework. Design/methodology: The research design consists of a case study held at several firms. Empirical data was collected using semi-structured interviews. Empirical data: Empirical data was primarily collected at nine different apparel manufacturers within the greater Istanbul region. Conclusion: Conclusions show that within the bundles of resources and capabilities, a large variation was noted with high international competitiveness. However there are areas such as design and quality which could be continuously developed among firms. In the end, whatever bundle of resources and capabilities a firm has, it’s the end price that speaks. / Program: Textilekonomutbildningen

Dynamic managerial capabilities are frequently viewed as a source of influence among decision-making managers within environments of volatility. Conversely, managers postulate that decision-making in rapidly changing environments is never perfect and faces a variety of influencing factors. In addition, industries represent a collection of firms that produce similar goods or services for a particular market. This recipe is often recognized by all industry related firms and adapted accordingly. Similarly, firms comprised as “incumbents” and “challengers” are firms that are well established in the industry and firms that seek to change the industry. Recognizing which influencers affect the managerial decision-making process is necessary to adapt and evolve a firm’s decision-making logic. This thesis presents a detailed study of the Hollywood Film Industry Recipe as it relates to the influencing factors within the green lighting process of feature films among incumbent and challenger studios. An inductive research approach is used to investigate four case studies throughout the Hollywood Film Industry. Two case studies are recognized as industry incumbents while the other two are recognized as industry challengers. The analysis identifies an industry recipe, firm adopted industry and adaptations, and dynamic managerial capabilities utilized through the influence of the process. In addition, an illustration of the industry recipes influence dynamic managerial capabilities adopted by firms. Findings suggest that dynamic managerial capabilities is an output of industry recipes adopted amongst firms, and that refinement of those capabilities is a circular renewal process between managerial judgement and firm/managerial dominant logics. In addition, industry recipes influence the way in which dynamic managerial capabilities are acquired, processed, and absorbed. This study contributes to the field of strategy as it suggests a coherent framework that illustrates how industry recipes influence incumbent and challenger studios within a given industry. Additionally, it also demonstrates how dynamic managerial capabilities are formed and structured based on the adopted industry recipe. Finally, it outlines how decisions are made by managers within incumbent and challenger firms, highlighting a circular process of decision-making with regards to the creation an distribution of an industry related product.

Chinese medicine is one of China's key national assets, an indigenous medical knowledge and practices that serves Chinese for thousands of years. As very little research has been focused on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from systems of innovation perspective, the topic of study was chosen. This qualitative case study research introduces, defines and explores how TCM organisations collaborate to innovate from an evolutionary, interactive system perspective. In particular, the focus is on the development of knowledge and capabilities related to TCM drug research and production. Thirty one TCM organisation cases were analysed and presented in this study, interpreting their behaviour in terms of ideas drawn mainly from the literatures on systems of innovation, collaboration between organisations and resource (knowledge) based theory of the firm. Actors such as government play various roles in facilitating organisational and sectoral innovation processes. 'Various policy instruments', in particular research funding and institutions (e.g., standards and regulations) were used to enhance innovation and production. Various forms of collaborative networks were found among key actors: enterprises, universities, research organisations and end users. They contribute to the active innovation processes of 'Identification, Selection, Integration and Creation' of tangible and intangible outcomes and changes. Based on the research, new insights were derived as to how indigenous resources (defined as original and/or traditional knowledge and capabilities) may lead to indigenous innovation. This thesis contributes to the academic understanding of systems of innovation operating in the context of indigenous product and related process developments with reference to various actors interplaying in complex networks (systems) of collaborations. New understandings made on the processes of indigenous innovation (using TCM as a case) through investigating the actors' roles, inter-relations and their restless attempts to identify opportunities and problems, select and integrate different indigenous, scientific, technological and managerial knowledge, capabilities, resources and institutions, to create value that may 'fit' in evolutionary terms, the demand of the key actors in the sector.

This study examines the organisational architecture of megaproject meta-organisations; that is project-based organisations formed to deliver one-off, capital-intensive systems. It investigates how the organisation that promotes the megaproject - the buyer organisation - divides and allocates the scope of the development work during the delivery phase across multiple suppliers. In so doing, the buyer organisation sets organisational boundaries around its own work and that of each project supplier: effectively creating the megaproject meta- organisation architecture. We use organisation design literature as the main cognitive lens to understand the architecture of megaproject organisations. This literature posits that organisational boundaries can be understood by examining the interplay of four logics: i) Transaction Cost Economics (TCE), ii) capabilities, iii) power and iv) organisational identity. The impact of these four logics on organisational boundaries has been theorised extensively in the context of the enduring firm. Here, we seek to extend our knowledge of boundaries in megaproject organisations. Unlike the enduring firm, megaproject organisations do not operate in efficient markets, are set up to have a finite-lifespan and are highly interdependent with their environment. Megaproject organisations are also a critical form of organising addressing one of the grand challenges of our time: the provision of basic infrastructure. Yet, little is known about the architecture of megaproject organisations. To address this theoretical and empirical gap, we undertook a multiple case research. We conducted an in-depth analysis of the procurement choices for four large infrastructure assets: the London Olympics 2012, Crossrail, Thames Tideway Tunnel and Heathrow's Terminal 2. The research results in the development of an original conceptual framework that illuminates how the four complementary logics are brought to bear in the organisational design choices that determine megaproject architectures. The study contends that the organisational boundaries, which demarcate the work of each supplier, are the outcome of a reconciliation of efficiency concerns and considerations about the capabilities available in-house and in the supplier market. Importantly, this reconciliation is context-sensitive. Hence, the solution space for potential organisational architectures is constrained by considerations related to power and organisational identity. Power constraints are rooted in the interdependency of the buyer with its environment, including regulatory-political and ownership relations, as well as its bargaining position vis a vis suppliers. Organisational identity constraints relate to the buyer organisation's identity, which is both pre- given and developed through self-selection over time.

Market orientation has been primarily studied as a set of firm-level behaviours linked to the: generation of, dissemination of, and responsiveness to market intelligence (market-oriented behaviours). However, it has rarely been studied under an organisational culture perspective; the investigations that have conceptualised and operationalised market-oriented organisational cultures have overlooked a market-oriented managerial mind-set dimension. A concept to help address this research gap is the firm s dominant logic, which highlights the degree to which managers assumptions are manifested into their corporate cultures. The firm s dominant logic is integrated with the market orientation literature to conceptualise and operationalise the customer value-oriented dominant logic (CVODL) construct. The CVODL construct is defined as the extent to which managers assume that creating customer value should drive performance. The CVODL construct contributes to the marketing literature by extending current conceptualisations and operationalisations of market-oriented organisational cultures through a managerial mind-set viewpoint. This doctoral study examines the link between a CVODL and managers making resource investments into the departments of their corporations that they perceive to create value for their customers (an alternative to market-oriented behaviours). Functional resource investments are studied as an alternative form of implementing the marketing concept than market-oriented behaviours. A conceptual framework was developed to conceptualise the antecedents and consequences of the CVODL under the dynamic managerial capabilities perspective. The conceptual framework was tested using a multi-industry and national-level sample of American corporations, through structural equation modelling (SEM). These results show that a CVODL drives different forms of implementing the marketing concept, namely, intelligence responsiveness and CVO functional resource investments, both of which were positively related to sales performance. The results also highlight a new driver of market-oriented behaviours under the dynamic managerial capabilities perspective. This doctoral thesis helps managers to foster a market-oriented organisational culture, as well as investigating the ways in which such corporate cultures can drive sales performance. Limitations and avenues of future research are also discussed.

Uma das correntes teóricas que explica a vantagem competitiva das empresas, assim como o seu ingresso no mercado internacional é a teoria da Visão Baseada em Recursos (VBR). Sob a perspectiva teórica da VBR, o processo de como as empresas respondem às pressões e exigências do ambiente internacional (na medida em que aumentam o comprometimento dos seus recursos internos) torna a entrada e a permanência em novos mercados estrangeiros de forma estruturada. Similarmente à VBR, a abordagem das Capacidades Dinâmicas atribui importância aos recursos empresariais, sendo que a combinação e adaptação destes ocorre diante de um ambiente dinâmico e de rápidas mudanças, como o do mercado internacional. Diante da diversidade de recursos existentes na empresa, os recursos humanos, assim como suas práticas de gestão, são considerados importantes por apresentarem fonte de vantagem competitiva para o alcance dos objetivos estratégicos da organização. Desta forma, esta pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar a adaptação dos recursos humanos realizada pelas empresas alimentícias instaladas no estado de São Paulo que utilizaram a exportação como estratégia de internacionalização. Como procedimento metodológico, utilizou-se da pesquisa de multicasos em nove empresas, a coleta de dados por meio de formulário semiestruturado, com análise descritiva. A partir dos resultados, observou-se a capacidade dinâmica desenvolvida pelas empresas em adaptar seus recursos humanos e suas práticas de gestão diante do mercado internacional. Porém, as adaptações ocorreram de maneira pontual e mimética, devido ao fato das empresas não apresentarem a habilidade de inovar em relação a recursos e aos seus processos de gestão de maneira estratégica, isto é, de forma antecipada, inovadora a fim de atender as possíveis mudanças que estão ocorrendo e previsivelmente poderiam ocorrer no mercado internacional. Dentre todas as empresas pesquisadas, oito delas adaptaram as práticas de treinamento e desenvolvimento, consideradas como as práticas de gestão que receberam maior quantidade de adequações, no que diz respeito ao atendimento a normas e exigências, das ações que envolvem o mercado internacional. Por outro lado, não foi possível identificar adaptações realizadas na prática de remuneração. As práticas de avaliação de desempenho, treinamento e desenvolvimento, assim como a característica de conhecimento, presente nos recursos humanos, foram consideradas de suma importância e como diferencial competitivo no mercado internacional. O conhecimento, habilidades e atitudes, de maneira combinada à path dependence e também adaptados em conformidade aos objetivos empresariais fizeram com que os recursos humanos fossem considerados valiosos, raros e insubstituíveis. Em relação à estratégia de exportação, identificaram-se maiores adaptações realizadas entre as empresas que utilizam a exportação indireta como principal canal de vendas, comparadas às empresas que utilizam exportação direta majoritariamente, este resultado pode ser explicado devido ao faturamento ser expressivo entre as empresas cuja exportação indireta é o principal canal de vendas utilizado. / Internationalization is one of the strategies companies use to stay in the market and / or gain the competitive advantage over their competitors. One of the theoretical currents that explains the competitive advantage of companies, as entry into the international market is the Resource Based View (RBV) theory. Under the RBV´s theoretical perspective, the process of how companies respond to the pressures and demands of the international environment, as they increase the commitment of their internal resources, makes the entry and stay in new foreign markets in a structured way. Similar to RBV, the Dynamic Capabilities approach attributes importance to business resources, the combination and adaptation of these capabilities occurs in a dynamic environment and rapid changes, such as the international market. Against diversity of resources in the company, human resources, as well as their management practices, are considered important because they present a source of competitive advantage in achieving the strategic objectives of the organization. The aim of this research was to analyze the adapt human resources, aiming at the internationalization of food companies located in the state of São Paulo. As a methodological procedure, a multicases survey was used in nine companies to collect data using a semi-structured form, with a descriptive analysis. From the results, it was observed the dynamic capacity developed by the companies in adapting their human resources and their management practices in the international market. However, the adaptations occurred in a timely and mimetic way, because companies do not present the ability to innovate these resources and their management processes in a strategic way, that is, in an innovative way in order to attend to possible changes that are occurring and also predictably could occur in the international market. Among all the companies surveyed, eight of them adapted the training and development practices, considered as the management practices that received the most amount of adjustments, regarding the compliance with norms and requirements, of the actions that involve the international market. On the other hand, it was not possible to identify adjustments made in the practice of remuneration. The practices of performance evaluation, training and development, as well as the knowledge characteristic, present in the human resources, were considered of paramount importance and as competitive differential in the international market (according to the opinion of the interviewees). Knowledge, skills, and attitudes, combined with path dependence and also adaptade to business objectives, have made human resources valuable, rare, and irreplaceable. In relation to the export strategy, greater adaptations were identified among companies that use indirect export as the main sales channel, compared to companies that use direct export mustly, this result can be explained due to the significant turnover among companies whose is the main sales channel used.

Despite the strong interest on the matter, the phenomenon of Dynamic Capabilities in organizations still needs better explanations. In order to contribute to a better understanding of this phenomenon a qualitative research on a multinational company with a record history of activities of more than 130 years was developed. The research was meant to be an exploratory study. The research method used was the case study. The research aimed to identify evidences of dynamic capabilities in the company researched. In addition to this general objective, the research also posted four specific objectives: a) identification of dynamics capabilities evidences in terms of idea generation disruptions introduced on the market and new products, services and process development; b) identification of skills and behaviors on individual, group and organizational levels that support the existence of dynamic capabilities; c) identification of processes and routines that support dynamic capabilities; d) identification of learning mechanisms and knowledge governance that support dynamic capabilities. In order to develop the research several interviews were conducted with the directors of the Brazilian branch of a multinational corporation named Berlitz. The research also examined documents, historical records and has used direct observations on the spot. The research results showed that the company actually presents Dynamic Capabilities. The research also clarified the skills, behaviors, processes, routines, learning and knowledge mechanisms that support Dynamic Capabilities at Berlitz. / O fenômeno das capacidades dinâmicas nas organizações constitui um ramo de grande interesse para pesquisadores nas áreas de gerenciamento estratégico, mudanças organizacionais e vantagem competitiva sustentável. Apesar do forte interesse sobre o tema, o fenômeno das Capacidades Dinâmicas nas organizações ainda carece de melhores explicações. Para contribuir com um melhor entendimento desse fenômeno foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa qualitativa em uma empresa multinacional de serviços com um histórico de mais de 130 anos de atividades. O estudo em pauta tem caráter exploratório e faz uso do método de estudo de caso. A pesquisa teve por objetivo geral identificar indícios da existência de capacidades dinâmicas na empresa pesquisada. Além desse objetivo geral, a pesquisa teve quatro objetivos específicos: a) identificar indícios de capacidades dinâmicas na empresa estudada do ponto de vista da geração de ideias, introdução de rupturas no mercado, desenvolvimento de novos produtos, serviços e novos processos; b) identificar as habilidades e comportamentos pessoais, de grupo e organizacionais que propiciam a existência de capacidades dinâmicas na empresa; c) identificar processos e rotinas de suporte às capacidades dinâmicas e d) identificar os mecanismos de aprendizagem e de governança do conhecimento que suportam a existência de capacidades dinâmicas. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foram feitas entrevistas com todo o corpo diretivo da filial brasileira da empresa multinacional Berlitz. O processo de pesquisa analisou também documentos, registros históricos e fez uso de observações diretas in loco. O resultado da pesquisa mostrou que a empresa pesquisada de fato possui Capacidades Dinâmicas. A pesquisa também esclareceu as habilidades, comportamentos, processos, rotinas, mecanismos de aprendizagem e de governança de conhecimento que sustentam a existência de Capacidades Dinâmicas na empresa pesquisada.

As capacidades coordenativas exercem papel fundamental na motricidade, sendo importantes na aquisição e desenvolvimento das habilidades fundamentais, posteriormente das habilidades específicas (esportivas). Essas capacidades são reconhecidas como base para o desenvolvimento das habilidades esportivas que responde positivamente em relação à precisão, economia e efetivação dos movimentos esportivos, levando a um menor gasto de força e energia muscular. É na infância que se observa o melhor ganho em termos de rendimento dessas capacidades, estabilizando-se na adolescência. Apesar da importância das mesmas, existe um número limitado de instrumentos de medida que tenham por objetivo avaliar as capacidades coordenativas de escolares brasileiros na faixa etária de 12 a 14 anos que possam fornecer informações sobre seu desenvolvimento em crianças e jovens. O \"Wiener Koordinationsparcour\" (WKP) é um teste esportivo motor, desenvolvimento por Wawitz (1982) e de origem austríaca que tem por objetivo medir as capacidades coordenativas orientação espacial, reação, equilíbrio, adaptação motora e diferenciação por meio da medição do tempo de realização das tarefas motoras padronizadas nas oito etapas que o compõe. Devido à origem do WKP é necessária sua validação para a realidade brasileira. O presente estudo tem por objetivo a validação do WKP, de forma adaptada, para avaliação das capacidades coordenativas em escolares de 12 a 14 anos de idade. Participaram do estudo, oito especialistas da área de Educação Física e Esporte e 108 escolares de 12 a 14 anos de ambos os sexos. O processo de validação foi composto das seguintes etapas: validade de construto e conteúdo e verificação dos critérios de validade, objetividade e fidedignidade. Inicialmente, foi realizada uma tradução juramentada com a denominação em português de Percurso de Coordenação Vienense (PCV) e comparada às versões publicadas em português. As validades de construto e conteúdo foram realizadas com base no parecer de especialistas. Para verificar a objetividade foram utilizados os escores do tempo de realização do teste obtidos por três (03) avaliadores; para a fidedignidade foram utilizados os escores do teste e do reteste. Utilizou-se a estatística descritiva de freqüência para análise das respostas dos especialistas; o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI) foi utilizado para as análises da objetividade e fidedignidade. Também foi utilizado na análise da fidedignidade o teste t-pareado. Os coeficientes de correlação para objetividade foram 0,99 para o gênero feminino e de 1 para o masculino, indicando que o PCV é um teste confiável. No entanto, a fidedignidade apresentou coeficientes de correlação fracos: 0,57 (feminino) e 0,58 (masculino). Realizou-se o teste t-pareado que confirmou a fidedignidade fraca devido às diferenças significantes entre as médias dos escores entre teste e reteste. De acordo com a análise dos especialistas o PCV apresenta validade de construto e de conteúdo. Os resultados indicam que a motivação e a aprendizagem podem ter influenciado nos escores do teste e, consequentemente, na sua fidedignidade. Sendo assim, apesar do PCV refletir a validade de conteúdo e ser um teste confiável, são necessários outros estudos para a obtenção de sua fidedignidade em escolares brasileiros de 12 a 14 anos na realidade brasileira / Coordinative capabilities play a crucial role in motor function, being important in the acquisition and development of fundamental skills, subsequently the sport skills. These capabilities are recognized as the basis for the development of sports skills that responds positively in relation to the accuracy and effectiveness in the sporting movements. It is in childhood that we observe the best gain in efficiency in these capabilities, stabilizing in adolescence. Despite the importance of coordinative abilities, there is a lack of evaluation tests that can provide information about their income on children and youth. The \"Wiener Koordinationsparcour\" ( WKP ) of Warwitz is a sporty test of international origin, which measures the coordinative capabilities of spatial orientation, reaction, balance, motor adaptation and differentiation through time to perform the tasks specified in the eight steps that compose the test. Because the origin of the WKP its validation for the Brazilian reality is required. This study aims to validate the adapted WKP adapt it assess the coordinative abilities in students 12-14 years old. The study included eight experts in the field of Physical Education and Sport and 108 students 12-14 years of both sexes. The validation process consisted of the following steps: cross-cultural adaptation, content and construct validity and verification of the criteria of validity, objectivity and reliability. A cross-cultural adaptation and translation of the original instrument name by calling it, Percurso de Coordenação de Viena (PCV). The construct validity and content was analyzed by experts through the PCV Manual. In addition, two ( 02 ) forms on the adapted test were filled. To verify the objectivity score time the test was performed by three (03) assessors; reliability score in the test- retest was used . We used descriptive statistics to analyze the frequency responses of the experts, the intraclass correlation coefficient ( ICC) was used in the analysis of objectivity and reliability were made also to verify the reliability the paired t- test. The results of the objectivity of the 0,999 test in females and 1.00 in males indicated that PCV is a reliable test. However, the reliability coefficients presented were considered low: 0.61 (female) and 0.58 (men). The paired t- test confirmed that the low reliability was due to differences in scores between test and retest. For expert analysis PCV presents construct validity and content. Motivation and learning influenced the test scores and, consequently, on its reliability. Thus, despite the fact that PCV test reflects the content validity and is reliable, other studies are needed in Brazilian schoolchildren aged 12 to 14 years
