Resumo: | Studies on corporate strategy, more specifically those developed from thw 1990s, emphasize the importance of technological capability and innovation aspects as competitive advantage sources. Empirical studies on this issue are still scarce in the literature, especially in late-industrializing countries. Drawing on available frameworks in the international literature the aim of this paper is to present empirical evidence of corporate strategies based on the development of technological capability. To elaborate the current work, a fieldwork was carried out in Telemar Norte Leste, a big telecommunications operator in Brazil. The study covers 1998-2005 just after the privatization of telecommunications services in Brazil. Telemar put a lot of effort on the accumulation of technological capability. The evidence suggests that this had positives implications for its competitive performance. The study suggest that a corporate strategy supported by a technological capability building a approach certainly contributes to improving corporate performance corporate performance indicators. |

Essa abordagem, no entanto, ainda é escassa na literatura, em especial nos países localizados em economias em desenvolvimento. À luz de modelos desenvolvidos na literatura internacional, este trabalho apresenta evidências empíricas de estratégia empresarial, com base no desenvolvimento de capacidades tecnológicas para garantir vantagem competitiva. E está baseado numa pesquisa realizada em uma empresa prestadora de serviços de telefonia fixa no Brasil: a Telemar Norte Leste, no período pós-privatização, entre 1998 e 2002. Esforços deliberados da empresa, para uma consistente acumulação tecnológica interna, tiveram um papel crucial no incremento da sua performance competitiva. Portanto, a abordagem para estratégia empresarial baseada em capacidades tecnológicas contribui para explicar, em grande parte, o aprimoramento da performance da empresa.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Capacidade tecnológica; Estratégia empresarial; Performance corporativa; Telefonia fixa; Países em desenvolvimento.Editora Mackenzie2008-07-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://editorarevistas.mackenzie.br/index.php/RAM/article/view/93Revista de Administração Mackenzie; Vol. 7 No. 2 (2006)Revista de Administração Mackenzie; Vol. 7 Núm. 2 (2006)Revista de Administração Mackenzie (Mackenzie Management Review); v. 7 n. 2 (2006)1678-69711518-6776reponame:RAM.
