Muito foi especulado durante este processo, mas no fim acabou por ser a Sonae a vencer, pagando 600 milhões de euros. Esta caso apresenta considerações sobre o mercado do retalho alimentar na altura e uma apresentação das 3 maiores empresas neste sector, a Auchan, a Jerónimo Martins e a Sonae. O principal objectivo desta tese é a reflecção sobre as vantagens, desvantagens e sobre o que teria acontecido se alguma das outras empresas, que não a Sonae, tivesse ganho a compra do Carrefour. É analisada a situação económica das empresas, os seus investimentos à época, quais os seus ativos e a sua disposição geográfica, os seus portfólios e as suas estratégias. No fim, para concluir, é defendido que uma das 3 empresas seria a mais beneficiada com este negócio. No caso é dada toda a informação que o leitor precisa para ter uma visão clara sobre o sector em 2007, sobre as empresas e sobre toda a informação que precisa para chegar às suas próprias conclusões sobre o que se passou e sobre o que se podia ter passado.Pires, João SimãoVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaRocha, Miguel Vieira da2015-09-15T08:18:02Z2015-07-0820152015-07-08T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/18238TID:201104121enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-13T01:32:56Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/18238Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:15:13.843362Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
