Abstract(s)
As pequenas, médias e micro empresas (PME), são atualmente reconhecidas como um dos
principais tributários para a economia portuguesa, uma rede de segurança empreendedora
que cada vez mais contribui para o desenvolvimento das regiões e consequente crescimento
do emprego. As PME têm evidenciado um papel preponderante na contribuição do
desenvolvimento regional, levando a um novo estudo das teorias de localização das
empresas, neste caso das PME.
A presente investigação visa descobrir quais são os fatores que influenciam as pequenas,
médias e micro empresas a localizarem-se na Beira Interior. Questionando-se a proposta de
valor do produto território é essencial perceber que fatores as PME e seus empresários
procuram numa região, para tal avançámos com um modelo conceptual de análise de tais
fatores.
Os resultados evidenciam que o modelo conceptual não se verifica tal como concebido.
Verificou-se então que, apesar dos fatores de localização se confirmarem, o seu agrupamento
não se verifica nos três constructos do modelo teórico: fatores neoclássicos,
comportamentais e institucionais, mas sim em cinco agrupamentos fatores psicológicos,
índice de desenvolvimento, inovação e encorajamento à criação de empresas, características
da região, conjeturas do meio envolvente à PME, ampliação económica e social da região.
Small, medium and micro companies (SMEs) are currently recognized as one of the main tributaries to the Portuguese economy, an entrepreneurial safety net that increasingly contributes to the development of the regions and the consequent growth in employment. SMEs have shown a predominant role in the contribution of regional development, leading to a new study of theories of location of companies, in this case of SMEs. This research aims to discover what are the factors that influence small, medium and micro companies to be located in the Beira Interior region. Questioning the value proposition of the territory product, it is essential to understand what factors SMEs and their entrepreneurs are looking for in a region, for this we have put forward a conceptual model for analyzing such factors. The results show that the conceptual model does not exist as designed. It was then found that, despite the location factors being confirmed, their grouping is not found in the three constructs of the theoretical model: neoclassical, behavioral and institutional factors, but in five groups: psychological factors; index of development, innovation and encouragement for business creation; characteristics of the region; conjectures of the environment surrounding the SME; economic and social expansion of the region.
