Relevância do fator tecnológico no valor das empresas de tecnologia / Relevance of the technological factor in the value of technology companies

Belli, Márcio Marcelo 27 January 2009 (has links)
O objetivo deste trabalho é a investigação da relevância do fator tecnológico no valor das empresas de tecnologia. Espera-se que o fato de uma empresa ser considerada empresa de tecnologia tenha influencia positiva no valor medido pela relação entre o preço das ações e o seu valor patrimonial, medida conhecida como múltiplo preçopatrimônio líquido. Adicionalmente, foi testada a relevância das despesas com pesquisa e desenvolvimento no valor das empresas da amostra utilizada. Como plataforma teórica foi utilizada a literatura de value-relevance, estudada por vários autores que desenvolveram modelos para medir o relacionamento entre o valor das empresas e variáveis disponíveis nas demonstrações contábeis e no Mercado de Capitais. Com relação à empiria construiu-se uma proxy baseada no quociente preço-valor patrimonial das ações . A partir desta proxy , que se constitui de uma simplificação do conceito de valor de 607 (seiscentas e sete) companhias abertas que possuem ações cotadas nas bolsas americanas NASDAQ (National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System) e NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) ao longo de doze anos, 1997 a 2008 , sendo que deste total de 607 (seiscentas e sete) companhias, 233 (duzentas e trinta e três) foram classificadas como empresas de tecnologia por serem empresas fabricantes de equipamentos, componentes eletrônicos e computadores hardwares, empresas fabricantes de programas e sistemas para computadores softwares - e empresas de processamento de dados e pesquisa. As outras 374(trezentas e setenta e quatro) empresas foram classificadas como empresas da velha economia por atuarem em ramos como petroquímica, têxtil, metalurgia, automobilístico, de alimentos, indústria de móveis, madeira, aeronáutica, indústria naval e mineração. Para o teste da hipótese formulada foi utilizado o seguinte modelo: (PPVt) = (TEC + PDt-1 + variáveis de controlet-1) que testou o relacionamento entre o valor das ações e o fato das empresas serem de tecnologia. Para a análise dos termos da regressão foram utilizadas duas técnicas, anacor (análise de correspondência) e regressão com dados em Painel. Os resultados demonstraram que existe uma relação positiva entre o valor das ações e o fato das empresas serem de tecnologia. Os testes também demonstraram existir evidências de relacionamento positivo entre as despesas com pesquisa e desenvolvimento e o valor das empresas. Embora os resultados obtidos possam ser considerados seguros para as condições do experimento, deve-se levar em consideração as limitações inerentes à metodologia e à amostra utilizada. / The objective of this research is to investigate the technologic factor on technology companies value. Additionally, the model tested the value-relevance of research and development expenses for the value of companies in the samples. It is expected that the fact of one company to be considered a technology company can be considered that have positive influence over its value measured by price-book value ratio. The valuerelevance theory between accounting data and market stock market value were used to base the research. In respect of empirical behavior, this research is based on the concept of price-book-value to construct a proxys of firm value. This proxy, was build based on 607 (six hundred and seven) companies with its stocks at NASDAQ (National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System) and NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) over twelve years, 1997 to 2008, being these total of 607 (six hundred and seven) companies, 233 (two hundred and thirty three) was classified like technological companies because its produces softwares and hardwares. That others 374 (three hundred seventy and four) companies was classified like conventional companies because its produces traditional industrial products. By the hypothesis texts was used the model: (PPVt) = (TEC + PDt-1 + controll variablest-1) which tested the relationship betweem market value of stocks and the thecnological factor. We used correspondence analysis-anacor and panel data which exploratory and confirmatory methods. The results shows that exist a relationship between market value level and technological factor. The results also suggests that exists evidences of a positive relationship between research and development expenses and the market value of companies in the samples. This fact suggest that technological factor could be considered an positive element by valuation effects. Despite conclusions and the method could be considered secure, the limitations of this search need led in consideration, and this results are restrict of companies in the sample.

Tecnologia e trajetória de internacionalização precoce na indústria brasileira. / Technology and precocious internationalization trajectory in brazilian industry.

Francischini, Andresa Silva Neto 01 July 2009 (has links)
Este estudo analisa o processo de internacionalização de empresas nacionais dedicadas à produção de bens de maior densidade tecnológica que apresentam diferentes motivações para a internacionalização além das vantagens comerciais. No Brasil, desde a década de 70, as empresas passaram a desenvolver a dimensão comercial da internacionalização, através do aumento das exportações. A realização de investimentos diretos no exterior foi intensificada na década de 90, a partir da internacionalização da produção que teve como destino principal os países da América Latina. Em um cenário econômico marcado pela intensificação da concorrência, as empresas passaram a considerar a internacionalização como uma estratégia para a ampliação de suas vantagens competitivas e expansão de suas atividades. A pesquisa envolveu o estudo de três casos de empresas brasileiras que foram fundadas entre os anos de 80 e 90 e que se internacionalizaram precocemente, ou seja, em um período curto após a fundação e início das atividades. Elas reconhecem a tecnologia como elemento central para o crescimento e expansão de suas atividades e investem continuamente em atividades de pesquisa e desenvolvimento. Isso contribui para o registro de patentes e desenvolvimento de produtos mundiais, que podem ser adaptados de acordo com as necessidades de seus clientes nacionais e internacionais. Essas empresas reconhecem na internacionalização das atividades não apenas a importância comercial, mas também um fator essencial para o desenvolvimento contínuo de suas capacidades de criação e aplicação de novas tecnologias. As subsidiárias no exterior também contribuem para o acompanhamento de tendências nos setores em que atuam, no estabelecimento de parcerias em pesquisas e na seleção de fornecedores. Conclui-se que a internacionalização precoce das empresas estudadas é resultante dos investimentos em tecnologia desde o início de suas atividades. / The present study analyses the internationalization process of national companies dedicated to the production of higher technological density goods that present different motivations to the internationalization besides commercial advantages. In Brazil, since the seventies, the companies began to develop the commercial dimension of internationalization, through the export increase. The accomplishment of direct investment abroad was intensified in the nineties, arising from the production internationalization, which had as main target the Latin American countries. In economic scenery marked by the intensification of competition, the companies started to consider the internationalization as a strategy to the broadening of their competitive advantages and their activity expansion. The research involved the study of three Brazilian companies which were founded between the eighties and the nineties and which became internationalized precociously, that is, shortly after their foundation and the beginning of their activities. They recognize technology as the main element for the growth and expansion of their activities and invest continuously in development and research activities. This fact has contributed to the application for patents and global product development, which can be adapted according to the necessities of their national and international clients. These companies recognize in the internationalization of their activities, not only the commercial importance, but also an essential factor for the continuous development of their production capacity and the application of new technologies. The subsidiaries abroad also contribute to the accompaniment of tendencies in areas, which they operate in, to the establishment of partnerships in researches and to the selection of suppliers. It has been concluded that the precocious internationalization of the studied (analyzed) companies has been the result from investments in technology since the beginning of their activities.

Internacionalização de empresas brasileiras: um estudo sobre a relação entre grau de internacionalização e desempenho financeiro / Internationalization of Brazilian companies: a study about the relationship between degree of internationalization and financial performance

Barcellos, Erika Penido 26 October 2010 (has links)
Esse estudo buscou avaliar de que forma a internacionalização tem contribuído para o desempenho financeiro das empresas brasileiras como um todo e para o desempenho financeiro das suas operações internacionais. Por meio de uma survey realizada no ano de 2006 em 51 empresas de capital nacional pertencentes a diversos setores, esta pesquisa nos permitiu refletir sobre a forma da relação entre grau de internacionalização (GI) e desempenho financeiro das empresas brasileiras. Os resultados sugerem, ao nível de significância de 5%, que o desempenho financeiro geral das multinacionais brasileiras está associado ao GI. Os grupos de empresas com menor GI e com maior GI na dimensão da porcentagem de ativos no exterior apresentaram melhores desempenhos financeiros gerais em relação ao grupo de empresas que estão em um grau intermediário nessa dimensão do GI. Quando analisamos a relação entre o GI (medido como o intervalo da porcentagem de empregados no exterior) e o desempenho financeiro das operações internacionais das empresas, testes não paramétricos indicaram uma curva em forma de U ao nível de significância de 5%. Esse formato de curva sugere um efeito negativo inicial da expansão internacional no desempenho financeiro, antes do alcance de resultados positivos com a internacionalização, o que contrasta com o formato de uma curva em S encontrada em estudos recentes sobre o tema. Modelos de regressão simples e múltipla desenvolvidos nesse estudo também revelaram a associação do GI com o desempenho financeiro das empresas. Dentre as variáveis utilizadas para a medição do grau de internacionalização, as seguintes se mostram relevantes para explicar o desempenho financeiro das empresas em um ou mais modelos de regressão: a porcentagem de empregados no exterior, a porcentagem de ativos no exterior, a atuação em mais de três regiões geográficas mundiais e a listagem em Bolsas de Valores. Também foi observada a relevância do setor de atuação como variável moderadora da relação GI-desempenho financeiro, já que empresas do setor de manufatura intensa em insumos básicos apresentaram maiores margens EBITDA do que as demais. Uma das implicações dessa pesquisa é que as empresas brasileiras não devem ser desencorajadas por efeitos negativos nos seus desempenhos financeiros nos estágios iniciais dos seus processos de internacionalização. Como os resultados sugerem, ao adquirir conhecimento e novas competências para atuar internacionalmente, as empresas obterão benefícios que, eventualmente, serão maiores do que os custos associados à internacionalização e o impacto no desempenho financeiro será positivo. / This study aimed to evaluate how internationalization has contributed to the general financial performance of Brazilian companies and to the performance of their international operations. Through a survey applied in 2006 to 51 companies with Brazilian ownership structure, from different industries, this research allowed us to reflect about the shape of the relationship between degree of internationalization (DOI) and financial performance of Brazilian companies. The results suggested, at a 5% significance level, that the general financial performance of the Brazilian multinationals is associated with their DOI. The groups of companies with lower DOI and higher DOI in the dimension of percentage of foreign assets presented better general financial performances than the group of companies that hold an intermediary level at this DOI dimension. When analyzing the relationship between DOI (measured by intervals of the percentage of foreign employees) and financial performance of the companies international operations, non-parametric tests indicated a U-shaped curve at a 5% significance level. This curve shape suggests an initially negative effect of international expansion on performance, before the positive returns of international expansion are realized, and contrasts with the S-shaped curve identified in recent studies about the subject. Simple and multiple regression models developed in this study also revealed the association between DOI and financial performance of the companies. Among the variables used to measure the DOI, the following emerged as relevant to explain the financial performance in one or more regression models: the percentage of foreign employees, the percentage of foreign assets, the presence in more than three geographical regions of the world and the listing on stock exchanges. It was also observed the relevance of the companies sector as a moderating variable of the DOI-financial performance relationship, since companies from sectors of intense manufacturing on raw materials presented higher EBITDA margins than the others. One implication of this research is that Brazilian companies should not be discouraged by negative effects of internationalization on their financial performances in the initial stages of their internationalization process. As the results suggest, after acquiring knowledge and new competences to operate abroad, the company will achieve benefits that, eventually, will overcome the internationalization costs, leading to a positive impact on the financial performance.
