This research presents a systematized literature review to identify the main critical success factors (CSFs) that influence startups’ competitiveness. Considering that aspects related to competitiveness should be the target of organizations, especially early-stage companies, this paper identifies a broad of factors regarding startups’ competitiveness. A total of 36 articles were selected in Scopus and Web of Science databases and an in-depth bibliometric analysis of the corpus was performed using the VOSviewer software. 25 CSFs that influence startups’ competitiveness were identified and categorized into three fundamental points of view (FPVs), namely: organizational, human, and environmental. Organizational FPV covers factors that define the internal characteristics of startups. Human FPV, in turn, consists of characteristics of human capital, while the Environmental FPV refers to external factors and the startup context. This work could help practitioners and policymakers by enlightening them about startups’ competitiveness and the elements involved therein, along with providing them with a robust conceptual framework.
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose a competitiveness measurement system for start-ups considering multiple critical success factors.Design/methodology/approachThe methodological approach uses concepts from key performance indicators (KPIs) and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) based on the fuzzy AHP (FAHP) methodology to weight the criteria related to fundamental points of view (FPVs) and critical success factors (CSFs).FindingsData collection was performed with 21 specialists and 28 start-ups, which returned the weights and performance of CSFs and FPVs related to the start-ups’ competitiveness. The results show only one start-up had a highly competitive global performance. In addition, all start-ups showed low competitiveness related to industry 4.0 technologies.Originality/valueThe article collaborates with existing research as a starting point for discussions on the subject, considering that previous research did not address the measurement of the start-ups’ competitiveness level through multiple factors, as developed in this article. In addition, we provide decision-makers and other stakeholders in the start-up ecosystem with a robust measurement system to assess business competitiveness and diagnose the company’s situation.
A análise econômica de ativos se destaca por possibilitar a verificação da situação financeira de empresas e pessoas físicas. As máquinas de medir por coordenadas contribuem na exatidão e precisão da medição em peças utilizadas na indústria; entretanto, também são responsáveis por gerar despesas e receitas às organizações. Este estudo possui como objetivo a análise de vida econômica de uma máquina de medir por coordenadas em um laboratório de uma universidade pública. Para isso, foi feita uma pesquisa bibliográfica com o intuito de conceber entendimento dos principais tópicos que formam a base da pesquisa, sendo estes: máquinas de medir por coordenadas, Valor Presente Líquido, Valor ou Custo Anual Uniforme Equivalente, Método de Substituição de Equipamentos e Ponto de Equilíbrio. A coleta de dados da máquina foi realizada para identificar os tipos e a periodicidade das despesas envolvidas com o equipamento. Como principais resultados da análise econômica podem ser destacados a definição de um ponto de equilíbrio anual e a indicação do período ideal para a substituição da máquina. A partir desses resultados, existe a expectativa de que o estudo contribua para a redução dos gastos da organização em que o equipamento está inserido.
