Resumo: The European Emerging Markets are in the process of consolidation of their economies since the liberation from the Soviet Bloc. The EU accession and a combination of low wages and skilled labor facilitated the inclusion of these countries in global value chains. This study focuses on the automotive industry and examines the solution of nearshoring production to the European Emerging economies. Supported by quantitative and qualitative data, this study expects to formulate valuable strategic recommendations for European-based companies, by identifying the optimal market to nearshore, as well as the appropriate market entry strategy. An empirical tool was developed to aggregate and ease the interpretation of the data gathered, exhibiting its results thru the interception of two dimensions: the accessibility to enter a market; and the conditions to prosperity provided by it. The results generated by the matrix point to Czech Republic as the most attractive markets to nearshore, and companies should employ a wholly-owned entry strategy.

A entrada na EU, juntamente com uma combinação de salários baixos e mão-de-obra qualificada, facilitou a inclusão destes países em diversas global value chains. Este estudo, foca-se na indústria automóvel e na realocação da produção para os mercados os mercados emergentes europeus. Sustentado por dados quantitativos e qualitativos, este estudo pretende formular recomendações estratégicas para empresas baseadas na Europa, identificando qual o mercado mais atrativo assim como a estratégia de entrada no mercado mais adequada. Um modelo empírico foi desenvolvido no âmbito de agregar e facilitar a interpretação dos dados recolhidos, exibindo os resultados alcançados através da interceção de dois eixos: a acessibilidade de entrar num mercado; e as condições para sucesso conferidas por tal. Os resultados gerados por esta matriz apontam para a República Checa como sendo o mercado mais atrativo para realocar produção, sendo que as empresas devem adotar uma estratégia de wholly-owned subsidiary neste caso.Pinho, André de AlmeidaVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaLeitão, João Corte-Real Morais2020-01-03T12:22:51Z2019-10-152019-10-15T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/29070TID:202301460enginfo: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:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:34:36Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/29070Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:23:21.018738Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
