Resumo: Objective – This paper aims to assess to what extent relational view assumptions can explain competitive advantages perceived in the industrial agglomeration contexts of small businesses.Design/methodology/approach – We used qualitative research; two furniture centers, Misassol (SP) and Ubá (MG), were examined through comparative data analysis. Data was collected through interviews with executives from 40 companies and 13 supporting organizations. The relational view and its assumptions point to factors that generate competitive advantage resulting from collaborative relationships between companies. Moreover, agglomerations provide intense relationships and are encouraged by governance entities.Findings – No competitive advantages clearly established due to relational gains were identified. The behavior of entrepreneurs in both centers tends strongly towards individualism. What agents identify as competitive advantages corresponds to situational or contextual factors in these centers and do not result from the realization of relational view assumptions, escaping from this paradigm. Relational gains can result only from subgroups that are formed through affinity, with no intervention from governance.Practical implications – Despite an agglomeration tendency within companies belonging to the furniture sector, a strong inclination towards individualism creates barriers to obtaining additional advantages resulting from relational gains, whether due to market regionalization, access of sales representatives, or logistics and tax costs, among other issues. However, actions in small groups are an important governance mechanism for that context.Contributions – Evaluate the assumptions of relational view and its explanatory power for competitive advantages in agglomerations of Brazilian furniture companies.

Os dados foram coletados por entrevistas com executivos de 40 empresas e de 13 entidades de apoio dos polos.Fundamentação teórica – A visão relacional e seus pressupostos apontam para fatores geradores de vantagem competitiva originados nos relacionamentos colaborativos entre empresas. E, no caso, as aglomerações proporcionam um intenso relacionamento e são estimulados por entidades de governança.Resultados – Não há identificação de obtenção de vantagens competitivas claramente delineadas em decorrência de ganhos relacionais. O comportamento dos empresários, em ambos os polos, tem forte inclinação para ações individualistas. O que os atores identificam como vantagens competitivas corresponde a fatores situacionais ou contextuais desses polos e não resultantes da concretização de pressupostos da visão relacional, escapando a esse paradigma. Os ganhos relacionais podem ser originados apenas de subgrupos que se formam por afinidade, sem interveniência de governança.Contribuições – Apesar da tendência aglomerativa das empresas do setor moveleiro, seja pela regionalização de mercados, pelo acesso de representantes comerciais ou pelos custos logísticos e tributários, dentre outras questões, a forte inclinação para ações individualistas cria barreiras para a obtenção de diferenciais adicionais advindos de ganhos relacionais. As ações em pequenos grupos apresentam-se, todavia, como um importante mecanismo de governança para aquele contexto.FECAP2015-11-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://rbgn.fecap.br/RBGN/article/view/184810.7819/rbgn.v17i56.1848Review of Business Management; Vol. 17 No. 56 (2015); 1025-1043RBGN Revista Brasileira de Gestão de Negócios; Vol. 17 Núm. 56 (2015); 1025-1043RBGN - Revista Brasileira de Gestão de Negócios; v. 17 n. 56 (2015); 1025-10431983-08071806-4892reponame:Revista Brasileira de Gestão de Negócios (Online)instname:Fundação Escola de Comércio Álvares Penteado (FECAP)instacron:FECAPengporhttps://rbgn.fecap.br/RBGN/article/view/1848/pdfhttps://rbgn.fecap.br/RBGN/article/view/1848/pdf_1Copyright (c) 2015 Review of Business Managementinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDeboçã, Leonardo PinheiroMartins, Ricardo Silveira2021-07-21T16:28:03Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/1848Revistahttp://rbgn.fecap.br/RBGN/indexhttps://rbgn.fecap.br/RBGN/oai||jmauricio@fecap.br1983-08071806-4892opendoar:2021-07-21T16:28:03Revista Brasileira de Gestão de Negócios (Online) - Fundação Escola de Comércio Álvares Penteado (FECAP)false
