Abstract(s)
As pequenas e médias empresas assumem um papel de relevância na situação económica e social de qualquer região ou país. Apesar disso, pelas suas características, são os agentes produtivos que sentem maiores dificuldades na obtenção de recursos, que lhes permitam conceber e implementar projectos de investimento, que levem ao desenvolvimento e crescimento sustentado da actividade empresarial.
O objectivo desta dissertação é contribuir para um melhor entendimento da relação entre o dimensionamento dos investimentos e o sucesso das pequenas e médias empresas, bem como dos factores que podem influenciar os empresários a optarem por uma determinada dimensão de investimento e qual a importância do papel das instituições de crédito neste processo.
Na componente prática deste trabalho é apresentado um estudo de caso múltiplo, contemplando duas empresas do sector da panificação localizadas na Beira Interior Centro, onde se torna evidente que o dimensionamento do investimento condiciona o sucesso empresarial. Verificou-se, também, que a decisão de investimento é influenciada pelas características do gestor e que não houve intervenção activa da instituição de crédito, na óptica de aconselhamento na fase de análise do plano de negócios e durante a implementação do investimento.
