Resumo: | China is poised to become one of the dominant economic forces in the world and today with the ability to affect the financial stability of every country in an interconnected global system of trade and finance. This study was conducted to understand what incentives, structural and social and political phenomena shaped the competitive dynamics leading to meteoric economic growth in China. Cities and clusters is where state and market forces interact most directly; to understand key insights, patterns of growth, future risks and opportunities we decided to focus the analysis on the case of Shenzhen, China’s fastest-growing, experimental city. Since there are numerous theories and frameworks to understand competitive dynamics, we created a threelayered conceptual taxonomy of 16 index variables based on salient aspects that emerged from an extensive literature review. To gain further qualitative understanding of the proposed conceptual model, we conducted a survey distributed to people living and working in Shenzhen and China. The research found the major causal factor for extraordinary economic growth was central and local government adaptive efficiency which ushered in reforms and capital injections from Beijing. Shenzhen is a striking example of successful competitive dynamics and market-oriented reforms. However, factors like the debt burden, lack of transparency, corruption within institutions and fragile foreign affairs are likely to impact the long-term competitive sustainability. |

Este estudo foi realizado para entender que incentivos, estruturais, sociais e políticos moldaram a dinâmica competitiva levando ao crescimento econômico meteórico na China. Cidades e clusters é onde as forças do estado e do mercado interagem mais diretamente; para entender os principais padrões de insights de crescimento, riscos futuros e oportunidades, decidimos focar a análise no caso de Shenzhen, a cidade experimental e de crescimento mais rápido da China. Já que já existe um número imenso de teorias e frameworks para entender a dinâmica competitiva, criamos um sistema de taxonomia conceitual de três camadas composto por um conjunto de 16 variáveis de índice com base em aspetos salientes emergidos pela extensa revisão da literatura. Além disso, para obter insights qualitativos do modelo conceitual proposto, realizamos uma pesquisa distribuída às pessoas que vivem e trabalham em Shenzhen e na China. A pesquisa concluiu que o grande crescimento econômico foi impulsionado pela eficiência adaptativa do governo central e local, abrindo reformas e injeções de capital em Pequim. Através da evolução mostrada por suas variáveis econômicas, Shenzhen é um exemplo marcante da realização de uma dinâmica competitiva bem-sucedida e de uma reforma orientada para o mercado. No entanto, desvantagens como o peso da dívida, a transparência e a corrupção das instituições e a fragilidade dos negócios estrangeiros são suscetíveis de impactar a sustentabilidade a longo prazo do país.Rajsingh, PeterVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaVardaro, Flavia2020-11-02T09:20:41Z2020-06-2920202020-06-29T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/31217TID:202517284enginfo: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:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:36:44Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/31217Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:25:08.539316Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
