Resumo: | This dissertation’s purpose is to study the attractiveness of the Portuguese automobile industry as a destination for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), particularly of German companies. In order to analyze this, both the perspective of the Portuguese authorities and of German companies already operating in Portugal were considered and interviews were conducted to representatives of these German companies, who shared their experience and perspective on this matter. The results suggest that the automobile sector in Portugal is one of the most dynamic and innovative in the national economy, having a significant contribution in the GDP and export level. Further, it’s the most appellative sector to German FDI in Portugal. From the interviews we can also conclude, that Portugal gathers all the necessary conditions to be a successful FDI destination, in terms of physical, technological and human resources. However, this fact has not been adequately promoted. Some measures and reforms must be taken at an industry and national level in order to restore the trust of foreign investors in the Portuguese economy and to improve the level of FDI in Portugal. |

De forma a analisar esta questão, serão consideradas tanto a perspectiva das autoridades portuguesas como das empresas alemãs que já operam em Portugal, tendo sido realizadas entrevistas com representantes de tais empresas alemãs, os quais partilharam a sua experiência e perspectiva sobre o tema. Os resultados sugerem que o sector automóvel em Portugal é um dos mais dinâmicos e inovadores na economia nacional, tendo uma contribuição significativa no nível do PIB e das exportações. Além disso, trata-se do sector mais apelativo para o investimento alemão em Portugal. A partir das entrevistas também podemos concluir que Portugal reúne todas as condições necessárias para ser um destino de IDE bem-sucedido, em termos de recursos físicos, tecnológicos e humanos. No entanto, este facto não tem sido adequadamente promovido. Algumas medidas e reformas terão de ser tomadas, tanto a nível da indústria como a nível nacional, com o fim de restaurar a confiança dos investidores estrangeiros na economia portuguesa e melhorar o nível de IDE em Portugal.Cardeal, NunoVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaAraújo, Cátia Raquel Reais Ferreira de2015-05-04T14:33:11Z2014-07-1720142014-07-17T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/17418TID:201131323enginfo: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:RCAAP2023-11-14T01:35:45Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/17418Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:14:38.133251Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
