This report brings an analysis of the survival capacity of three small and micro enterprises (SMEs) from the food industry of banana sweets, set in the Metropolitan Region of Baixada Santista, specifically in Itanhaém and Mongaguá cities. These capacities are built based on two assumptions: administration effect and locality effect, which may be crucial for the survival and performance of the SMEs. This research aims to identify the administrative and locality characteristics that influence the survival of the three SMEs studied. To achieve the main target, the following specific objectives were outlined: to identify the administrative characteristics that were propelling for the survival of the three SMEs studied; identifying the locality resources that were propelling for the survival of the three SMEs; verify the existence of other administrative and locality factors that may have influenced for the survival of SMEs in a long term. This study has the expectation of contributing for a further reflection on the issue concerning the survival capacity of small businesses. The bibliographic research was focused in the sequence of theoretical topics in order to build necessary basis about the administrative and locality influences for the survival of small businesses, necessary concepts to achieve the general objective. To achieve the proposed objectives, the research, in descriptive and inductive nature, was developed through a multicase study using documentary and observation researches; semi-structured, preliminary and detailed interviews; having the managers, employees, suppliers and customers from the three SMEs as participants in these processes. The results indicated that there are important factors of the administrative and locality effects influencing the survival of the locus research. Results showed factors such as access to large markets, attitude to technology, the presence of a strong and weak bond and others, considered important influences for the survival of the companies studied. The results open up the perspectives for further studies that could provide and create other alternatives and programs to improve the performance and survival of the SMEs.(AU)
