A decisão da localização é um dos processos mais importantes que uma empresa deve tomar, seja no início da sua atividade ou em contexto de relocalização. Este é um processo estratégico e que deve ser planeado com antecedência, consoante os objetivos previamente estabelecidos pelo empresário, o setor de atividade da empresa e tendo em conta os diversos fatores de localização que diferenciam cada espaço. Perante o exposto, o presente estudo tem como principais objetivos consciencializar os empresários e possíveis empreendedores para a importância das decisões de localização das empresas; identificar e analisar os fatores que explicam a localização das empresas da indústria transformadora no concelho da Guarda e avaliar quais os benefícios fiscais e que incentivos ao investimento foram implementados para apoiar o tecido empresarial e atrair novas empresas para a região.
Neste estudo de natureza quantitativa, a aplicação de um inquérito por questionário aos empresários da indústria transformadora do concelho da Guarda possibilitou-nos concluir que os fatores mais valorizados são os fatores de localização clássicos, como a disponibilidade de infraestruturas de qualidade e a proximidade aos fornecedores de matérias-primas e ao mercado, em detrimento dos fatores de localização modernos, nomeadamente o ambiente local, a qualidade de vida e os fatores de cariz pessoal. Concluiu-se também que os principais entraves à instalação de empresas no concelho da Guarda são os insuficientes incentivos fiscais, as dificuldades de recrutamento de trabalhadores qualificados e a burocracia pesada nos licenciamentos.
Espera-se que este estudo contribua para facultar mais informação acerca das decisões de localização na região da Guarda, que podem ser úteis para os empresários e autarcas locais, e, assim, contribuir para que sejam implementadas medidas que vão ao encontro das pretensões e necessidades dos empresários no sentido de contribuir para o crescimento e desenvolvimento da região.
The location decision is one of the most important processes that a company must take, whether at the beginning of its activity or in the context of relocation. This is a strategic process that must be planned in advance, depending on the objectives previously established by the entrepreneur, the company's sector of activity and taking into account the various location factors that differentiate each space. In view of the above, the present study has as main objectives to make entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs aware of the importance of company location decisions; identify and analyze the factors that explain the location of manufacturing companies in the municipality of Guarda and assess which tax benefits and which investment incentives were implemented to support businesses and attract new companies to the region. In this quantitative study, the application of a survey to entrepreneurs in the manufacturing industry in the Guarda county allowed us to conclude that the most valued factors are the classic location factors, such as the availability of quality infrastructure and proximity to suppliers of raw materials and the market, to the detriment of modern location factors, specifically the local environment, quality of life and personal factors. It was also concluded that the main obstacles to the establishment of companies in the municipality of Guarda are the insufficient tax incentives, difficulties in recruiting qualified workers and heavy bureaucracy in licensing. It is hoped that this study will contribute to providing more information about location decisions in the Guarda region, which can be useful for entrepreneurs and local authorities, and thus contribute to the implementation of measures that meet the wishes and needs of entrepreneurs in order to contribute to the growth and development of the region.
