Abstract(s)
Os conceitos de orientação empreendedora, capacidades dinâmicas e desempenho
organizacional apresentam uma literatura extensa dada a sua relevância para as empresas,
uma vez que se constituem como determinantes para competitividade destas. A orientação
empreendedora e as capacidades dinâmicas desempenham um papel de alavanca no que
diz respeito aos resultados das empresas e o desempenho organizacional funciona como
uma variável de controlo e planeamento.
Diversos autores referem a existência de uma relação profunda entre os conceitos.
Contudo, os resultados em muitos casos são inconsistentes. No sentido de avaliar estas
inconsistências, proposemo-nos por isso, a analisar a relação entre eles numa pequena e
média empresa (PME) e perceber, efetivamente, quais as variáveis que mais influenciam
o seu desempenho. Com recurso a uma metodologia qualitativa, foi realizado um estudo
de caso único para responder ao objetivo em apreço. Como técnica de recolha de dados
foi efetuado uma entrevista.
Este estudo permitiu-nos estabelecer ligações entre os construtos de orientação
empreendedora, capacidades dinâmicas e desempenho organizacional e, em simultâneo,
responder às proposições de investigação. Os resultados obtidos evidenciam uma relação
positiva entre os conceitos referidos anteriormente, salientam a importância da orientação
empreendedora no alcance de vantagens competitivas e como as capacidades dinâmicas
fortalecem o crescimento sustentado das empresas.
The concepts of entrepreneurial orientation, dynamic capabilities and organisational performance have an extensive literature given their relevance to companies, as they are determinants of their competitiveness. Entrepreneurial orientation and dynamic capabilities play a leveraging role in terms of company results, while organisational performance functions as a control and planning variable. Several authors point to the existence of a deep relationship between the concepts. However, the results are often inconsistent. In order to assess these inconsistencies, we therefore set out to analyse the relationship between them in a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) and effectively understand which variables most influence its performance. Using a qualitative methodology, a single case study was carried out in order to fulfil this objective. An interview was used as the data collection technique. This study allowed us to establish links between the constructs of entrepreneurial orientation, dynamic capabilities and organisational performance and, at the same time, to answer the research propositions. The results obtained show a positive relationship between the aforementioned concepts, highlight the importance of entrepreneurial orientation in achieving competitive advantages and how dynamic capabilities strengthen the sustained growth of companies.
