O fenĆ³meno em anĆ”lise na presente dissertaĆ§Ć£o representa um tema bastante
debatido no atual contexto de digitalizaĆ§Ć£o e globalizaĆ§Ć£o, com importĆ¢ncia crescente
para as empresas de diversas Ć”reas de atividade, uma vez que a correlaĆ§Ć£o entre
empreendedorismo e digitalizaĆ§Ć£o pode servir como vantagem competitiva.
Por este motivo, torna-se pertinente estudar o impacto que a digitalizaĆ§Ć£o terĆ” na
atividade empreendedora. No entanto, Ʃ necessƔrio, numa primeira fase, compreender a
relaĆ§Ć£o entre as variĆ”veis, de forma a preceder se estas se relacionam e de que forma o
fazem e descobrir quais as tecnologias inerentes Ć digitalizaĆ§Ć£o que terĆ£o impacto na
atividade empreendedora.
Para tal, na realizaĆ§Ć£o desta dissertaĆ§Ć£o foram levantadas vĆ”rias questƵes āQual o
impacto que a digitalizaĆ§Ć£o poderĆ” ter na atividade empreendedora nos paĆses da UE?ā,
āQual a relaĆ§Ć£o entre a digitalizaĆ§Ć£o e a atividade empreendedora ?ā, Qual o impacto do
Crescimento econĆ³mico e da DigitalizaĆ§Ć£o na Actividade empreendedora ?ā e āQuais
as variĆ”veis/ drivers que poderĆ£o explicar a relaĆ§Ć£o entre o Crescimento econĆ³mico,
DigitalizaĆ§Ć£o e a Actividade empreendedora?ā.
Para a realizaĆ§Ć£o deste estudo, e de forma a ser possĆvel responder Ć s 3 questƵes
de investigaĆ§Ć£o, foram utilizados dados disponĆveis no The World Bank e na Eurostat
para o perĆodo compreendido entre 2010 a 2022, relativos aos 4 paĆses da UniĆ£o Europeia
(Dinamarca, FinlĆ¢ndia, Noruega e SuĆ©cia), procedendo Ć utilizaĆ§Ć£o de mĆ©todos de
estimaĆ§Ć£o economĆ©trica adequados e recorrentes para uma dada amostra com dados em
painel; mais especificamente estimaĆ§Ć£o de modelos lineares de efeitos fixos e efeitos
aleatĆ³rios com correĆ§Ć£o ao enviesamento.Os resultados obtidos mostraram, notoriamente,
que a digitalizaĆ§Ć£o tem um impacto significativo na atividade empreendedora, atravĆ©s da
presenƧa das tecnologias da informaĆ§Ć£o intrĆnsecas, tanto nas empresas, como nos paĆses.
Deste modo, o presente estudo pode apoiar e contribuir no apoio Ć tomada de
decisĆ£o com base na escolha e na adoĆ§Ć£o das tecnologias digitais na gestĆ£o operacional
dass empresas, contribuindo para que estas consigam aproveitar todos os benefĆcios
resultantes da digitalizaĆ§Ć£o e das suas tecnologias.
The topic under analysis in this dissertation is a highly debated one in the current context of digitalisation and globalisation, with growing importance for companies in many different areas of activity, since the correlation between entrepreneurship and digitalisation can serve as a competitive advantage. For this reason, it is pertinent to study the impact that digitalisation will have on entrepreneurial activity. However, it's necessary to first understand the relationship between the variables to find out whether and how they are related and to discover which technologies inherent in digitalisation will have an impact on entrepreneurial activity. For this purpose, this dissertation asked several questions: "What impact could digitalisation have on entrepreneurial activity in European Union countries?", " What is the relationship between digitalisation and entrepreneurial activity?", " What is the impact of economic growth and digitalisation on entrepreneurial activity?" and " What variables/drivers could explain the relationship between economic growth, digitalisation and entrepreneurial activity?". To carry out this study, and in order to answer the research questions, data available from The World Bank and Eurostat were used for the period 2010 to 2022, for the 4 countries of the European Union (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden), using the appropriate and recurring econometric estimation methods for a given sample with panel data; more specifically, estimation of linear fixed effects and random effects models with bias correction. The results obtained clearly show that digitalisation has a significant impact on entrepreneurial activity, through the presence of intrinsic information technologies in both companies and countries. In this way, this study can provide support for decision-making based on the choice and adoption of digital technologies in the operational management of companies, helping them to take advantage of all the benefits resulting from digitalisation and its technologies.
