Resumo: | This dissertation focuses on Appinio, a German start-up, dedicated to the provision of digital market research solutions for decision-makers. Appinio has been generating high growth figures and became a profitable business in its main market Germany, based on financial bootstrapping. The focus of this case in September 2022, is the evaluation of Appinio’s growth strategies, especially its efforts in internationalization and its financing strategy with the background of the economic uncertainties. Due to the competitive landscape of the international markets, the limited financial resources and the economic uncertainties, the company faces a new situation. Appinio needs to evaluate different strategic and financial options for further growth. The dilemma of the case is the conflict of objectives in the market research industry during the economic uncertainty. The need of information for the corporate customers of Appinio increases due to changing trends and consumer behaviors, but in parallel the budgets for market research decrease.

A Appinio tem vindo a gerar elevados números de crescimento e tornou-se um negócio rentável no seu principal mercado, a Alemanha, com base em bootstrapping financeiro. O foco deste caso em setembro de 2022, é a avaliação das estratégias de crescimento da Appinios, especialmente os seus esforços na internacionalização e a sua estratégia de financiamento com o pano de fundo das incertezas económicas. Devido à paisagem competitiva dos mercados internacionais, aos limitados recursos financeiros e às incertezas económicas, a empresa enfrenta uma nova situação. Appinio precisa de avaliar diferentes opções estratégicas e financeiras para um maior crescimento. O dilema do caso é o conflito de objectivos na indústria dos estudos de mercado durante a incerteza económica. A necessidade de informação para as empresas clientes da Appinio aumenta devido à mudança de tendências e comportamentos de consumo, mas em paralelo os orçamentos para os estudos de mercado diminuem. A dissertação inclui uma revisão da literatura sobre o impacto das incertezas económicas no ambiente empresarial e na indústria de estudos de mercado, estratégias de crescimento de startups em incertezas económicas e avaliação de bootstrapping financeiro. Oferece também uma análise das questões-chave do caso na secção de Notas Didácticas para ajudar os instrutores a preparar a discussão na aula.Guedes, Nuno MagalhãesVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaMader, Philip2023-06-30T00:30:32Z2023-01-2320232023-01-23T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/41276TID:203252870enginfo: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:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:46:51Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/41276Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:33:56.205436Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
