Resumo: | It is observed a gap in the literature regard to studies related to strategic planning in small businesses, specifically related to environmental monitoring. As a result of this gap, this study aimed to understand how a small real estate company monitors the environment in which it operates. To develop the study, we opted for a descriptive and qualitative approach, based on the method of a single case study. The conceptual foundations used for structuring the field research took into account a secondary data survey on strategic planning, environmental analysis in strategic planning, conceptualization of small and medium sized business (SMB) and environment monitoring in SMB’s The study also has shown that although the respondents assert they perform environmental monitoring consistently, the process as described in the literature is not formal and systematic in the company studied. It has been observed efforts of the partners in this direction, but such activities are still restricted to the owners of the company. Given the proposed objective of this research, the case study did outline the main characteristics of the monitoring process of a small company in the construction sector. The study therefore contributes to broaden the knowledge about the structure of environmental monitoring in small businesses, enriching the theme that is still underdeveloped. In the business context, this study contributes pointing out factors that could be better developed by company managers and may serve as an example for other small businesses that are in the early stages of its environmental monitoring system development. |

Em função de tal incipiência, a presente investigação buscou compreender como uma pequena empresa do setor imobiliário monitora o ambiente em que opera. Para desenvolver o estudo, optou-se pela abordagem qualitativa de natureza descritiva, com base no método do estudo de caso único. A base conceitual utilizada para a estruturação da pesquisa de campo considerou um levantamento de dados secundários sobre o planejamento estratégico, análise ambiental no planejamento estratégico, conceituação de PME´s e o monitoramento do ambiente em pequenas empresas. O estudo permitiu inferir que, apesar de os entrevistados afirmarem que realizam o monitoramento do ambiente de forma constante, o processo conforme descrito na literatura não é formal e sistemático na empresa pesquisada. Observaram-se esforços dos sócios nesse sentido, porém tais atividades ainda estão restritas aos proprietários. O estudo de caso indicou as principais características do processo de monitoramento de uma pequena empresa no ramo da construção, atendendo ao objetivo proposto. Assim, o estudo contribui ao ampliar a estruturação do conhecimento sobre o monitoramento ambiental em pequenas empresas, enriquecendo a temática ainda pouco desenvolvida. No âmbito empresarial, o estudo colabora apontando fatores que poderiam ser melhor desenvolvidos pelos gestores da empresa em estudo, podendo servir de exemplo para outras empresas de pequeno porte que estejam em fase inicial do desenvolvimento de seu sistema de monitoramento ambiental.Future Studies Research Journal: Trends and Strategies2013-12-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistafuture.org/FSRJ/article/view/14310.24023/FutureJournal/2175-5825/2013.v5i2.143Future Studies Research Journal: Trends and Strategies; Vol. 5 No. 2 (2013): Future Studies Research Journal; 187-220Future Studies Research Journal: Trends and Strategies [FSRJ]; v. 5 n. 2 (2013): Future Studies Research Journal; 187-2202175-5825reponame:Future Studies Research Journal: Trends and Strategiesinstname:Fundação Instituto de Administração (FIA)instacron:FIAengporhttps://www.revistafuture.org/FSRJ/article/view/143/247https://www.revistafuture.org/FSRJ/article/view/143/230Copyright (c) 2014 Future Studies Research Journal: Trends and Strategiesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSutter, Mariana BassiFoerster, LetíciaKrakauer, Patrícia Viveiros de CastroPolo, Edison FernandesAlmeida, Martinho Isnard Ribeiro de2018-07-19T15:44:24Zoai:ojs.future.emnuvens.com.br:article/143Revistahttps://www.revistafuture.org/FSRJ/oai2175-58252175-5825opendoar:2018-07-19T15:44:24Future Studies Research Journal: Trends and Strategies - Fundação Instituto de Administração (FIA)false |
