Resumo: | The world has witnessed the incredible economic development of China in recent years. But there are few people that actually understand the causes and consequences of this development. It is the primary objective of this dissertation to explain how this process did occur. The study will be an attempt of locating the exact moment which was decisive and triggered the Chinese economic boom and made an impact worldwide. To find such moment, China’s transition process analysis was divided in three main events that could represent that moment – the economic reforms and open door policy in late 1970s and 1980s, the economic performance of Shanghai and Pudong New Area in the 1990s, and the accession of China to the World Trade Organization in 2001. The consequences of the Chinese economic development will not only be measured in the perspective of this country since they affected the whole world. For this reason, the impact that this economic boom had in a well -known reality – the Portuguese economy and particularly the textile industry – will also be analysed through an empirical research. Since the empirical research was narrowed to the textile industry, it will also be possible: to evaluate the reaction of this industry to the entry of Chinese competitors in the market; to suggest what could have been done to better prepare the firms against these new competitors; and to take lessons from the conclusions withdrawn from this study that may be valuable for companies which face the threat of being surpassed by their counterparts from an emergent economy. |

Mas poucas são as pessoas que realmente compreendem as causas e consequências deste desenvolvimento. Um dos objectivos desta dissertação é explicar como este processo decorreu. Este estudo é uma tentativa de localizar o momento exacto que despoletou o crescimento económico Chinês tendo, por isso, impacto à escala planetária. Para encontrar tal momento, a análise do processo de transição da China foi divida em três acontecimentos que podem representar esse mesmo momento – as reformas económicas do fim da década de 1970 e da década de 1980, a evolução económica de Shanghai e Pudong na década de 1990, e a entrada da China para a Organização Mundial do Comércio em 2001. As consequências do crescimento económico Chinês não serão apenas medidas na perspectiva deste país visto que afectaram todo o mundo. Por esta razão, o impacto que este crescimento teve na economia Portuguesa, e particularmente na indústria têxtil, também será analisado através de uma pesquisa empírica. Como esta pesquisa foi direccionada apenas para a indústria têxtil, também será possível avaliar a reacção deste sector para com a entrada de competidores Chineses no mercado, sugerir o que poderia ter sido feito na preparação dessa reacção e daqui retirar lições que constituirão informação valiosa para empresas ameaçadas pelas suas homólogas pertencentes a economias emergentes.2012-09-07T09:27:41Z2010-01-01T00:00:00Z20102010-04info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/3801engFormiga, Brunoinfo: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:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:38:25Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/3801Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:17:35.928380Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

The world has witnessed the incredible economic development of China in recent years. But there are few people that actually understand the causes and consequences of this development. It is the primary objective of this dissertation to explain how this process did occur. The study will be an attempt of locating the exact moment which was decisive and triggered the Chinese economic boom and made an impact worldwide. To find such moment, China’s transition process analysis was divided in three main events that could represent that moment – the economic reforms and open door policy in late 1970s and 1980s, the economic performance of Shanghai and Pudong New Area in the 1990s, and the accession of China to the World Trade Organization in 2001. The consequences of the Chinese economic development will not only be measured in the perspective of this country since they affected the whole world. For this reason, the impact that this economic boom had in a well -known reality – the Portuguese economy and particularly the textile industry – will also be analysed through an empirical research.
