The structure of variability of performance was very similar to companies of other sectors, indicating the predominance of the individual firm effect and limited sector and year effects. These findings might raise a question over the "distinction" of the new economy.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar a estrutura de variabilidade do desempenho financeiro das empresas de tecnologia de informação (TI) no Brasil e determinar a relação entre o desempenho financeiro e dois fatores específicos à empresa: economias de escala e produtividade. Foram utilizados dados secundários sobre as duzentas maiores firmas de TI do Brasil nos anos de 2000 a 2004. A análise utilizou as técnicas de componentes de variância e regressão múltipla. A estrutura de variabilidade do desempenho foi muito similar às empresas de outros setores, indicando uma predominância do efeito empresa individual e limitados efeitos ano e setor. Esses achados podem levantar um questionamento sobre a “distinção” da nova economia. Os resultados também indicaram um efeito significativo da produtividade sobre o desempenho, mas o mesmo não se observa na escala. Discute-se a significância prática da relação entre produtividade e desempenho.
