Resumo: | This study aimed to analyze the relationship between environmental pressures and strategic behavior of MSE belonging to a trade group for auto parts. Results of the survey conducted – and satisfactorily answered by 32 companies - showed the prevalence of the "analytical" generic strategy, composed of little more than half the sample, followed by the "defensive" strategy and finally, a smaller number of companies with "reactive" strategies according to the classification of strategic behavior of Miles and Snow. A cluster analysis effected from environmental pressures to which the companies are subject resulted in their grouping into three groups. In turn, the results of both the chi-square test as the confirmatory discriminant analysis did not show a strong dependency relationship between competitive strategies adopted by the companies surveyed and environmental pressures. To some extent, this conclusion corroborates the theory, since the universe surveyed (small and micro enterprises with mild to moderate degree of maturity), apparently is not the most fertile ground for the application of the conditions of the school's environmental strategy. Another possible explanation for this result also supported by the theory is that, even when their companies are subject to similar environmental pressures, each leader may interpret the environment individually, as suggested by the cognitive approach to strategy. |

A pesquisa, de abordagem quantitativa e com finalidade descritiva foi conduzida por meio de uma survey respondida por 32 empresas de forma satisfatória. Os resultados indicaram a predominância da estratégia genérica “analítica”, composta por pouco mais da metade da amostra de empresas, em segundo lugar, a estratégia “defensiva” e por último, um número menor de empresas com estratégias “reativas”, de acordo com a classificação de comportamento estratégico de Miles e Snow. Uma análise de conglomerado efetuada a partir das pressões ambientais às quais estão sujeitas as empresas, resultou no agrupamento das mesmas em três grupos. Por sua vez, os resultados tanto do teste do qui-quadrado quanto da análise discriminante confirmatória não evidenciaram uma forte relação de dependência entre estratégias competitivas adotadas pelas empresas pesquisadas e pressões ambientais. Em certa medida, a conclusão adotada corrobora a teoria, já que o universo pesquisado (pequenas e micro empresas com grau leve a moderado de maturidade), aparentemente não seria o terreno mais fértil para a aplicação dos pressupostos da escola ambiental de estratégia. Outra possível explicação para este resultado, também apoiada na teoria, é o fato de, mesmo quando suas empresas estão sujeitas a pressões ambientais similares, cada dirigente pode interpretar o ambiente de forma individualizada, conforme sugere a abordagem cognitiva de estratégia.Universidade Nove de Julho - UNINOVEVidal, Dimas FerreiraPereira Barbosa, José GeraldoCarino Bouzada, Marco Aurélio2014-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/riae/article/view/1534710.5585/ijsm.v13i3.2088Revista Ibero-Americana de Estratégia; Vol 13, No 3 (2014): January-June (Ahead of printing); 48-62Revista Ibero-Americana de Estratégia; Vol 13, No 3 (2014): January-June (Ahead of printing); 48-622176-0756reponame:Revista Ibero Americana de Estratégia - RIAEinstname:Revista Ibero-Americana de Estratégia (RIAE)instacron:RIEOEIporhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/riae/article/view/15347/7517Copyright (c) 2014 Iberoamerican Journal of Strategic Managementhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-09-24T16:58:18Zoai:https://periodicos.uninove.br:article/15347Revistahttps://periodicos.uninove.br/riaePRIhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/riae/oai||bennycosta@yahoo.com.br2176-07562176-0756opendoar:2019-09-24T16:58:18Revista Ibero Americana de Estratégia - RIAE - Revista Ibero-Americana de Estratégia (RIAE)false |
