No. of bitstreams: 1 Jonas de Carvalho Cardoso_.pdf: 332954 bytes, checksum: 7ca06b25a96cb4c60ca73f174d9fe3a9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-01-15 / Nenhuma / A análise dos estudos sobre o incremento de desempenho através de parcerias aponta que a literatura trata alianças estratégicas como posicionamento de mercado, ações com fins comerciais e proteção aos investimentos. Tais achados da literatura proposta sobre as startups não entram a fundo em como é possível mapear elementos que possibilitem o incremento de desempenho de empresas do tipo startup. Com o objetivo de contribuir com o esclarecimento desta questão o presente estudo se propõe a investigar de forma qualitativa através de entrevistas pessoais com empreendedores e gestores de empresas consolidadas atuantes no cenário a qual as startups estão inseridas. Os achados transitam por questões como a maturidade de empreendedores e investidores, sobre o plano de negócio e a formação de equipes de trabalho que contribuam com diversidade de perfis no que tange suas habilidades e técnicas e que se assemelhem em ideias e valores, passando por parcerias que busquem a complementariedade de planos de negócio e a atuação das universidades brasileiras como protagonistas no desenvolvimento de projetos de inovação junto a startups potencialmente capazes de decolarem com seu negócio. / The analysis of the studies on the performance increase through partnerships shows that the literature treats strategic alliances as market positioning, commercial actions and investment protection. Such findings of the proposed literature on startups do not go deeply into how it is possible to map elements that enable the performance enhancement of startup companies. In order to contribute to the clarification of this question the present study proposes to investigate in a qualitative way through personal interviews with entrepreneurs, managers of consolidated companies acting in the scenario to which the startups are inserted, which points that increase their performance. The findings are based on issues such as the maturity of entrepreneurs and investors, about the business plan and the formation of work teams that contribute to a diversity of profiles in terms of their skills and techniques and that resemble ideas and values, through partnerships that seek the complementarity of business plans and the actions of Brazilian universities as protagonists in the development of innovation projects with startups potentially capable of taking off with their business.

Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-25T16:44:33Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Cesar do Nascimento.pdf: 22415217 bytes, checksum: 796bb9045d52fb3cd08120f08fe1d5f7 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-05-21 / This paper presents results of a research on the influence of microcredit in employment generation and income held with the Perola Bank's customers in the city of Sorocaba - SP. This is a Civil Society Organization of Public Interest, which offers microcredit to entrepreneurs in the region. This research was conducted with a sample of 30 bank customers, with the use of a form, containing open and closed questions. The survey results revealed that microcredit influences the employment and income generation. And with that income, entrepreneurs can regulate the business and invest in goods and services to improve their quality of life. These lowincome entrepreneurs and excluded from the traditional financial system give more value to credit access than interest rates in this operation, which are 4% per month. However, these interest rates do not prevent them from investing on their own. The credit is used to investment in working capital and fixed investment. Furthermore, for each business opened, 2.1 new jobs have been generated / Este trabalho apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa sobre a influência do microcrédito na geração de emprego e renda realizada com clientes do Banco Pérola na cidade de Sorocaba - SP. Trata-se de uma Organização da Sociedade Civil de Interesse Público, que oferece microcrédito aos empreendedores da região. Esta pesquisa foi realizada com uma amostra de 30 clientes do banco, com a utilização de um formulário, contendo perguntas abertas e fechadas. Os resultados da pesquisa revelaram que o microcrédito influencia na geração de emprego e renda. E com essa renda, os empreendedores conseguem regularizar o negócio e investir em bens e serviços para melhorar sua qualidade de vida. Esses empreendedores de baixa renda e excluídos do sistema financeiro tradicional valorizam mais o acesso ao crédito que as taxas de juros praticadas nessa operação, que são de 4% ao mês. Entretanto, essas taxas não os impedem de investir por conta própria. O crédito tomado serve para investimento em capital de giro e investimento fixo. Além disso, para cada empreendimento aberto foram gerados 2,1 postos de trabalho

Empreendedor social: um estudo de caso

Lima, Cássia Maria Paula 03 June 2013 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-25T16:44:34Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Cassia Maria Paula Lima.pdf: 2230053 bytes, checksum: ccd55850e398b11190508b5c79132ace (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-06-03 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The purpose of this dissertation is to understand the social entrepreneur, from the observation his practice and seeking to consolidate a comprehensive overview, an understanding of this agent that incorporates the approaches of different disciplines that study. The social entrepreneur presents features, depending on who defines it: Administrators, psychologists, sociologists and economists. It is relevant to add that notice of any fact or social action is not a simple task, as society is, by its very nature and in any instance, complex; the complexity grows in the area of current humanitarian aid because of the multiple actions arising in this new segment, such as: Investment Fund in order to generate social impact, social business, social transparency, governance, 2.5 and municipal councils with the new social movements. As well as new actors appear institutions: social entrepreneurs and investors, that coexist with other well-known actors in society, as philanthropists. To this end, it was promoted a qualitative case study of a social entrepreneur from her speech and another six people that were indicated by her and who participated in the help project to others. Xinha from Liga Solidária (Non Governamental Organization) was considered from the main guidelines of the Grounded Theory, which is a methodology that sets out the research process as non-linear. The main conclusion is this social entrepreneur acts in networks to achieve improvements to a community. It was taken into account the studies on Granovetter's weak ties on networks and embeddedness to conclude that she actively worked to build a proactive development of the network, understanding local issues, recovering lost links, and sharing knowledge. Were thus highlighted the features that sets her apart as a social entrepreneur, who is the focus on social work and the promotion of innovation in society. What remained was the path taken by Xinha corresponded to her own process of training as a social entrepreneur / A finalidade desta dissertação é compreender o empreendedor social, observando-o na sua prática, e buscando consolidar uma visão abrangente, um entendimento deste agente que incorpore as abordagens das diferentes disciplinas que o estudam. O empreendedor social apresenta características, dependendo de quem o define: administradores, psicólogos, sociólogos e economistas. Importa acrescentar que a observação de qualquer fato ou ação social não é uma tarefa simples, dado que a sociedade é, por natureza e em qualquer instância, complexa; a complexidade se acentua na área de ajuda humanitária atual graças às múltiplas ações novas surgidas no cenário deste segmento, tais como: fundo de investimentos com finalidade de gerar impacto social, negócios sociais, setor 2,5, governança, transparência social e conselhos municipais com novos movimentos sociais. Assim como as instituições, surgem novos atores: os investidores e empreendedores sociais, que convivem com outros atores conhecidos na sociedade, como filantropos. Para tanto, promoveu-se um estudo de caso de natureza qualitativa de uma empreendedora social a partir do seu discurso e de mais seis pessoas que ela indicou e que participaram do seu projeto de ajuda aos outros. A Dona Xinha da Liga Solidária foi analisada a partir das principais diretrizes da Teoria Fundamentada (Grounded Theory), que é uma metodologia que explicita o processo de pesquisa como não linear. A principal conclusão é que essa empreendedora age em rede para atingir melhorias para uma comunidade. Leva-se em conta os estudos sobre redes de Granovetter sobre laços fracos e imersão (embeddedness) para concluir que ela atuou ativamente para formar uma rede concisa e ampla, entendendo os problemas locais, recuperando elos perdidos, e compartilhando conhecimento. Ficaram assim evidenciadas as características que a diferencia como empreendedora social, que é o foco no social (ter objetivo social) e a promoção da inovação na sociedade. O que restou comprovado foi que o caminho percorrido correspondeu ao seu próprio processo de formação como empreendedora social

Invandrarföretagande : Om företagares position på marknaden och drivkrafter bakom valet att starta eget. / Immigrant entrepreneurship : About entrepreneurs’ position in the market and driving forces behind the choice to start your own company.

JUNIOR LOPES LIVRAMENTO, ALBERTINO, MOUSA, RONZA January 2011 (has links)
I och med ett ökat intresse för entreprenörskap samt den allt svårare situationen på arbetsmarknaden för invandrare väcktes under 1990-talet ett stort intresse i Sverige för invandrarföretagande. Företag som drivs av personer med utländsk härkomst har blivit en allt vanligare del av marknaden. Denna grupp av företagare har kommit att bidra med nya affärsidéer samt ny kompetens på marknaden.Det framkommer i flera utredningar och rapporter att många invandrare finner det svårt att få fäste på den svenska marknaden på grund av bland annat språkliga brister och begränsade kunskaper inom det regelverk som styr företagandet i Sverige. Vår studie fokuserar på att undersöka invandrarföretagares position på den svenska marknaden. Syftet har även varit att ta reda på drivkrafterna bakom valet att starta eget samt vilka tillväxtstrategier invandrarföretagen använder sig av. Vi har genomfört sju kvalitativa intervjuer med utvalda respondenter för att få en uppfattning om hur invandrare upplever det egna företagandet i Sverige. De kvalitativa intervjuerna har sammanställts för att sedan analyseras med hjälp av våra utvalda teorier som bland annat inkluderar Saras Sarasvathys berömda teori om causation och effectuation. I resultatet som vi har kommit fram till presenteras bland annat att det har skett en förändring sedan 1990-talet och att invandrare inte längre finner den utländska bakgrunden som problematisk, för den egna företagsstarten. Drivkrafterna bakom valet att starta eget beror till stor del på förverkligandet av sina egna idéer. Vi har även kunnat konstatera att invandrarnas bakgrund inte har någon påverkan på deras tillväxtpotential utan det är istället den entreprenöriella förmågan som är en betydande faktor. / Program: Civilekonomprogrammet

How do extrinsic factors influence the decision of young adults to become an entrepreneur?

Thumm, Aiko, Hartmann, Michelle January 2018 (has links)
‘How do extrinsic factors influence the decision of young adults to become an entrepreneur?’ Michelle Hartmann and Aiko Thumm, 2018: Applied Double Degree Bachelor, Linnaeus University Växjö, Sweden and ICN Business School Nancy, France. Even though governments all over the world are putting a spotlight on entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship as a whole, the motivations of why to become a venture creator is rarely touched upon. In general, there are two forms of possible influences on entrepreneurial intentions, namely intrinsic and extrinsic drivers. In order to further describe the phenomenon of extrinsic factors influencing entrepreneurial intentions, this study aims to describe the interplay of three extrinsic factors for venture creation. These three factors are entrepreneurship enhancing education, role models as well as influence of opportunity and necessity. A descriptive, qualitative study has been chosen for that purpose. During semi-structured interviews, the narrative story of the six participants is told. The findings revolve around the narratives of the respondents’ propositions towards the three aforementioned extrinsic factors. This paper shows that the present educational system only partially conveys necessary knowledge and entrepreneurial skills. Furthermore, this study suggests, that there is more than only a positively influencing role model, videlicet, a negative example representing things the young adult does not want to become. In addition, the study depicts the predicament of a clear differentiation between necessity and opportunity entrepreneurship. Lastly this paper concludes, that more than one factor are motivational drivers for young entrepreneurs and therefore opens a wide research area for future fellow entrepreneurship researchers.

Empresários, Trabalhadores e Grupos de Interesse: a Política Econômica nos Governos Jânio Quadros e João Goulart, 1961-1964 / Entrepreneurs, Workers and Interest Groups: Economic Policy during the Governments of Jânio Quadros and João Goulart, 1961-1964

Felipe Pereira Loureiro 12 April 2012 (has links)
Esta tese analisa a formulação e a implementação da política econômica no Brasil durante as administrações de Jânio Quadros e João Goulart (1961-1964). O objetivo principal é compreender as razões da incapacidade do governo brasileiro para enfrentar os problemas econômicos do período, tais como a inflação e os desequilíbrios no balanço de pagamentos. Explora-se o modo pelo qual determinados grupos sociais, principalmente empresários, trabalhadores e representantes de Estados estrangeiros, interferiram nos resultados da política econômica. Por meio do uso de um amplo conjunto de fontes, abrangendo relatórios empresariais de caráter confidencial, periódicos operários, jornais comerciais e documentos dos governos brasileiro, britânico e norte-americano, conclui-se que as reações dos grupos de interesse foram fundamentais para explicar o fracasso dos planos econômicos do início dos anos 1960, apesar de cada período ter apresentado especificidades importantes. Enquanto na administração Quadros as atitudes dos empresários desempenharam um papel decisivo, na fase final da presidência de João Goulart o foco residiu no agudo conflito distributivo entre capital e trabalho, que levou ao abandono do Plano Trienal de Celso Furtado. As conclusões são relevantes na medida em que estudiosos reconhecem que a intensificação das dificuldades econômicas desse contexto tiveram um impacto decisivo na derrubada do regime político democrático em 1964, abrindo caminho para os 21 anos de regime militar no Brasil. / This thesis analyses the formulation and implementation of economic policy in Brazil during the administrations of Jânio Quadros and João Goulart (1961-1964). The main objective is to understand why the Brazilian government was unable to tackle the countrys most urgent economic problems, such as rising inflation and a mounting balance of payments crisis. To do so, the study explores the way social groups, including entrepreneurs, workers, and representatives of foreign nation states, influenced economic policy outcomes. Making use of a wide range of data from confidential employers reports, labor periodicals and commercial newspapers, through to official government sources from Brazil, the U.K. and U.S. the thesis concludes that interest groups reactions are fundamental to explaining why economic programs failed in the early 1960s. While during the administration of Jânio Quadros employers attitudes played a major role, in the final phase of João Goularts presidency, a great distributional struggle broke out between capital and labor, setting the stage for the collapse of Celso Furtados Three-Year Plan. The findings are of great relevance given scholars general recognition that the inadequacy of the Brazilian government in tackling economic problems had a decisive impact on the fall of democracy in 1964, in turn paving the way for a 21-year military dictatorship.

O ciclo da política nacional de concessão de benefícios tributários (2003-2010) / The national policy cycle of tax breaks concession (2003-2010)

Gonçalves, Maete Pedroso 28 November 2012 (has links)
Essa dissertação pretende mostrar que, na fase de formulação da política nacional de concessão de benefícios tributários, não existem obstáculos impeditivos à imposição da agenda do governo. Essa fase é antes marcada pela discricionariedade do Executivo na apresentação frequente de Medidas Provisórias que criam benefícios tributários. Além disso, o processo não é fechado à participação, pois, durante a tramitação destas proposições no Congresso Nacional, está sujeito à atuação de grupos de interesse privilegiados buscando sua parcela de benefícios distributivos. Por outro lado, existem entraves significativos colocados à fase da implementação das proposições que concedem benefícios tributários. Por ser uma política de difícil acompanhamento, sua execução está sujeita a impasses, negociações e busca de consensos entre setores da burocracia pública e destes com os órgãos de controle externo, o que impõe uma trajetória incremental à fase da implementação, e dificulta a avaliação da eficiência, eficácia e efetividade dos benefícios tributários. Além disso, a política nacional de concessão de benefícios tributários tem características de dependência de trajetória, pois, ao resolver problemas pontuais no varejo, tem se tornado a opção de ação governamental mais viável na ausência de uma reforma tributária abrangente. / This dissertation purpose to show that, at the formulation stage of national tax breaks concession policy, there are no obstacles impending the governments agenda imposition. Rather, this stage is marked by Executives discretion in the frequent presentation of Provisional Measures that create tax breaks. Also, the process is not closed to participation, because during the course of these proposals in Congress, this is liable of privileged interest groups action seeking their portion of distributive benefits. On the other hand, there are significant barriers imposed at the implementation stage of the tax breaks proposals. Because there is a policy of difficult monitoring, its execution is liable to impasses, negotiations and attempts to build consensus among sectors of the public bureaucracy and the latter with external control agencies, compelling an incremental path to the implementation stage, and hampers the evaluation of efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness of tax breaks. Furthermore, the national tax breaks concession policy has path dependence characteristics, because, to solving specific problems at retail, has become the most practicable option of governmental action in the absence of a comprehensive tax reform.

Política turística e innovación en España: teoría y práctica

Rodriguez-Sanchez, Isabel 16 July 2015 (has links)
Despite the fact that innovation is rapidly emerging as an important topic in tourism policy there is still a gap between work on tourism policy and that on innovation outcomes which tend to be disconnected. In particular, this study bridges that gap by bringing together knowledge on tourism, innovation and policy. It connects a range of concepts from these fields and brings them into tourism studies using them to explore a number of significant innovation practices and processes. The aim of this research was to gain insight into the innovation outcomes of the tourism policy process and governmental strategies to encourage innovation by observing the implementation process and innovation outcomes of selected tourism innovation programmes in Spain. The study approaches this aim from different angles. It examines from a longitudinal perspective the outcomes of tourism policy changes in order to identify innovation. It also observes the expectations and limitations of governmental stimuli for tourism innovation. Additionally, it examines the relationship between innovation policy and tourism policy, particularly where they intersect. Finally, more specific and operative aspects of programme implementation and innovation outcomes are addressed through the exploration of two tourism innovation programmes targeting different agents and forms of attaining innovation: one is a clusters programme targeting cooperative innovation and the other a young entrepreneurs programme with innovation being at the heart of enterprise startups. The entrepreneurs’ case study additionally addresses a major gap in understanding the process of innovation. The study adopts a multi-methods approach combining different methodologies according to the research aims: contents analysis, supervision and policies evaluation and a participatory methodology for the selected case studies. It employs different qualitative research methods to actively engage policy programmes’ participants and, where possible, policy administrators in order to construct an in-depth portrayal of innovation outcomes and policy programmes’ effectiveness. Through this multi-methods approach, the study makes a number of contributions. First, it provides evidence of how innovation outcomes of tourism policy are difficult to attain and therefore infrequent being highly influenced by factors such as crisis or periods of significant change. The analysis also confirms the rarity of policy innovation and the predominance of incremental adaptation and policy succession. Second, the study provides a longitudinal view of the governmental stimulus to tourism innovation through a mix of policy instruments. Innovation has gradually gained importance since its first introduction in the 90s as a goal in the tourism policy albeit with an evident technological bias. Third, subtle and not always evident interactions have been found between tourism policy and innovation policy, even though tourism is still not considered as a national priority for the innovation policy. Fourth, the innovative clusters case study provides evidence of the difficulties in translating policy ideals like innovation into action and the questionable effectiveness of these types of systemic instruments to promote tourism innovation. Finally, by exploring the entrepreneurs’ innovation journey, the study had a privileged look inside the “black box” which constitutes the innovation process in tourism, its characteristics and the multiple factors which positively influence the success of the journey. In summary, through all the different case studies selected, the research has contributed to understanding the phenomenon of innovation from the point of view of those initiating and managing the innovation process. It has provided evidence of the implementation of this abstract concept by multiple-scale agents and thus being introduced in different specific contexts: government policy, clusters and entrepreneurs. It has also shown evidence of how the innovation process works in practice in all these different settings, its limitations and the difficulties involved in conducting the process successfully to make innovation happen. All the different obstacles found confirm that innovation is a complex process and indicate why it is rare to find it in practice.
