“…According to Dias, Sousa, Silva and Silva (2020), the intensity of rivalry influences the firm's competitive position. The authors identified that the greater the rivalry, the more favorable the firm's competitive position in 2008 and in the post-crisis period, while no influence on competitive position in the pre-crisis period was identified.…”

“…Thus, as each firm adopts different strategies to deal with the same environmental exposures, it is inferred that success, which can be partially measured by performance, will also be observed differently, in view of the positioning of each one in the face of fluctuations arising from the environment, that is, in the face of environmental dynamism. Dias, Sousa, et al (2020), identified variations in the dynamism of the industry when considering the periods before and after the 2008 crisis. By addressing the dynamism of the industry as a factor that influence the firm competitive position, Dias, Sousa, et al (2020) observed a trend of lower growth and higher profitability as environmental dynamism increased, indicating a tendency to seek remuneration for investments made in assets, to the detriment of the expansion of market share.…”

“…Studies on the determining factors of a firm's competitive position include those that addressed the effects of such firm's size on its competitive advantage, such as Moen (1999); Dias, Sousa, Silva, and Silva (2020) identified significant effects of dynamism and rivalry on competitive position of American firms in 2008 and in the post-crisis period (2009 to 2015); Dias, Rossi, Silva, Camargos, and De-Carvalho (2020), when studying the effects of competitive environment on firm's competitive position, identified a worsening in that firm's competitive position, the more unfavorable the competitive environment is, considering the periods before and after the 2008 crisis. Few authors approached the relationships proposed in this research, which consider the simultaneous effects exerted by task environment on a firm's market power and competitive position, and by a firm's market power on competitive position.…”

Objetivo: Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar os efeitos que o ambiente competitivo e o poder de mercado da firma exercem na posição competitiva de firmas, no período de 2012 a 2017, que abarca os efeitos da crise de 2008.Desenho/metodologia/abordagem: Os parâmetros do modelo estrutural foram estimados por meio de modelagem de caminhos com mínimos quadrados parciais. O tamanho da firma foi utilizado como fator de ponderação. A amostra é composta por firmas brasileiras de capital aberto, atuantes na indústria manufatureira e ativas no período de 2012 a 2017.Resultados: A capacidade das firmas de alcançar e sustentar uma posição competitiva favorável é dependente do seu poder de mercado. Sob uma perspectiva gerencial reativa, gestores devem fazer escolhas estratégicas que permitam à firma se manter próxima aos consumidores, e manter e reforçar o seu poder de mercado, evitando reduções em sua participação de mercado. Sob uma perspectiva gerencial proativa, os gestores devem tirar vantagem do poder de mercado, com o estabelecimento de barreiras que dificultem o acesso dos concorrentes aos consumidores.Originalidade/valor: Esta pesquisa apresenta duas contribuições originais. A primeira delas é a identificação dos fatores determinantes da posição competitiva de firmas brasileiras, durante o período após a crise financeira de 2008. A segunda é a proposição e o teste de um modelo de equações estruturais, com o objetivo de estimar os efeitos do poder de mercado e do ambiente competitivo, na posição competitiva da firma.

“…The emphasis proposed in the literature is to determine the company's focus of action, what type of consumers it intends to serve, how it will participate in the sector, and what is the best way for this company to obtain the best performance in the chosen segment of activity. It is common knowledge that the business environment in its rivalry and dynamism dimensions exert substantial effects on the competitive position of firms (Dias, Sousa, Silva & Silva, 2020).…”

Objective: The article aims to analyze the creation of economic value, as well as the value vectors and the impacts caused by the number of students, value of tuition and costs on the economic results achieved in a higher education institution (HEI).Methodology/approach: This is a case study with adaptation of the EVA (Economic Value Added) model and the use of multivariate econometric analysis.Relevance/originality: Despite the representativeness of private organizations in the educational sector in the Brazilian economy, academic articles were not identified dealing with their capacity to create value, which is one of the necessary conditions for self-sustained growth of an organization.The main results: The University Center was able to generate value in the recent period. The disaggregated analysis showed the good performance of engineering and that most courses in the business area have destroyed the organization's value.Theoretical/methodological contributions: An incursion into the theory of corporate finance made it possible to adapt methods and procedures that led to an adequate application to the study of value generation in a HEI. The study can be replicated and contributes for HEIs to incorporate the dimension of value generation in their management model. Social contributions to management: Two segments were identified that demand differentiated strategies to improve the IES' market position. In the business area, given the competition, a policy of low prices is imposed, with revision/consolidation of the offer of courses. In the healthcare and engineering segment, the strategy to be followed is not price competition, but differentiation, with the pursuit of excellence being crucial.

PurposeThis research aims to identify the optimal configuration of investment which leads firms to their best competitive positions, considering the degree of concentration in the market.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology was quantitative and based on secondary data with samples of 124, 106 and 90 firms from competitive environment classified as perfect competition, monopolistic competition and oligopoly, respectively. Proposed models' parameters were estimated by means of genetic algorithms.FindingsAdjustments on firm's investment are contingent on the degree of competition they face. Results are in line with existing academic research affirmation that the purpose of investments is to create and exploit opportunities for positive economic rents and that investments allow firms to protect from rivals' competitive actions and reinforce the need for investment decision makers to consider the environment in which the firm is competing, when defining the amount of investment that must be done to achieve and maintain a favorable competitive advantage position.Originality/valueThis research brings two main original contributions. The first one is the identification of the optimal amount of capital and R&D investments which leads firms to their best competitive positions, contingent to the degree of concentration of the competitive environment in which they operate, and the size of the firm. The second one is related to the use of genetic algorithms to estimate optimization models that considers the three competitive environments studied (perfect competition, monopolistic competition and oligopoly) and the investment variables in the linear and quadratic forms.
