Dinâmica produtiva e organizacional das firmas à luz do novo paradigma tecno-econômico: uma abordagem teórica

Abstract

This dissertation looks at different theoretical approaches - Transaction-Cost theory, Resource-Based View, Dynamic Capabilities Approach and Knowledge-Based View - oriented, directly or indirectly, to analyse the competitive behavior of firms. It discusses the relevance of these theories to deal with the ongoing changes in productive and organizational structure of firms derived from the diffusion of a new technological paradigm. The study reinforces the role of co-operative strategies in order do achieve satisfactory outcomes in innovation activity. In this terms, clusters, ntework firms and industrial districts have been appropriated structures to promote the inter-firm cooperation. Finally, it compares the capacity of different approaches to establish limits and connections and to identify those which are more adequate to cope with the new paradigm.
