Abstract(s)
O ambiente empresarial é cada vez mais marcado pela volatilidade e incerteza, impulsionado por fatores como a globalização, avanços tecnológicos, crises económicas periódicas e outros choques externos. Neste contexto, as organizações devem desenvolver opções estratégicas que assegurem a melhor adaptação às mudanças. A importância dos diagnósticos e clarificação de relações entre variáveis associadas ao comportamento das organizações é enfatizada ao longo da investigação, pois estes capacitam as empresas a tomar um rumo de crescimento sustentável a longo prazo, ao mesmo tempo que reduzem os impactos adversos que as crises podem gerar. Central nesta investigação está a exploração das complexas relações entre indicadores financeiros como o Resultado Antes de Juros, Impostos, Depreciação e Amortização (EBITDA), autonomia financeira e investimento em Investigação e Desenvolvimento (I&D), em conjunto com as atividades de venda de produto, prestação de serviços e exportações comunitárias como não comunitárias. Assim, e de modo a analisar a informação associada a dados económicos e financeiros, inovação, internacionalização e competitividade, foi efetuada uma investigação que abrangeu 987 PME do centro de Portugal, para o período de 2006-2020. No contexto das economias regionais, há pouca pesquisa empírica sobre a evolução e mudança, talvez por dificuldades metodológicas e analíticas já detetadas no trabalho econométrico de Foster (1991) relativamente à dinâmica dos sistemas evolutivos. Para superar algumas dessas dificuldades, foi empregue a metodologia COSTATIS (Thioulouse et al., 2011), uma ferramenta estatística multivariada para dados multibloco três-vias, que permite uma análise abrangente das inter-relações entre diversos indicadores de desempenho e fluxos de receita em diferentes tamanhos de negócios ao longo do tempo. Os principais resultados desta investigação revelam maior estabilidade nos indicadores de desempenho que nas fontes de receita, sublinhando a necessidade de as empresas ajustarem as abordagens de receita em consonância com as dinâmicas de mercado. O estudo ainda identificou áreas críticas para a intervenção estratégica e delineando quadros de ação passíveis de serem implementados.
The business environment is increasingly characterized by volatility and uncertainty, driven by factors such as globalization, technological advancements, periodic economic crises, and other external shocks. In this context, organizations must develop strategic options that ensure optimal adaptation to changes. The significance of diagnostics and clarification of relationships between variables associated with organizational behavior is emphasized throughout the investigation, as these empower companies to pursue a path of sustainable long-term growth while mitigating the adverse impacts that crises may generate. Central to this research is the exploration of the complex relationships between financial indicators such as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA), financial autonomy, and investment in Research and Development (R&D), in conjunction with product sale activities, provision of services, and both intra-community and extra-community exports. To analyze information related to economic and financial data, innovation, internationalization, and competitiveness, a study encompassing 987 small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in central Portugal was conducted for the period from 2006 to 2020. In the context of regional economies, there is scant empirical research on evolution and change, perhaps due to methodological and analytical challenges already identified in Foster's (1991) econometric work regarding the dynamics of evolutionary systems. To overcome some of these difficulties, the COSTATIS methodology (Thioulouse et al., 2011) was employed, a multivariate statistical tool for three-way multiblock data that allows for a comprehensive analysis of the interrelations among various performance indicators and revenue flows in different business sizes over time. The primary results of this investigation reveal greater stability in performance indicators than in revenue sources, underscoring the need for companies to adjust their revenue approaches in alignment with market dynamics. The study also identified critical areas for strategic intervention and outlined actionable frameworks that can be implemented.
