Uma aplicação de análise multicritério para a coordenação vertical no transporte de granéis sólidos agrícolas.

Abstract

The strategies to perform the transportation of agricultural commodities by truck in Brazil are a challenge to decision making. This paper brings together vertical coordination and decision analysis, to present a discussion of decision making in organizations. The Multiple Criterial Decision Analisys (MCDA), method based on value functions, allows comparison of governance arrangements in specific situations. After define the main objectives, criteria and variables found in transport verticalization problems, the results showed worse performance of verticalized arrengements than hybrid or outsourced alternatives. This result supports that in environments with high dependence on low costs and asset low specificity are more likely to meet hybrid or market coordinated structures. However, the descriptive survey of road transport with agricultural shippers and the results of the multicriterial model indicated a highly outsourced transport market, which would be fostered by the current uncertainty and low professionalism of haulers. As the price difference between the outsourced model and vertical decreases there is a preference for hierarchical structure given his best performances in the benefits offered. Given the changes in the institutional environment, such as the transport regulation, competitive arrangements may change. This type of preference by decision makers would compose the vertical structures with more scale strategies by shippers.

“…Além disso, outras entidades descentralizaram as tomadas de decisões no setor: Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura e Transporte (DNIT), Agência Nacional de Transporte Aquaviário (ANTAQ) e a própria ANTT. E, junto com a criação da ANTT, diversas leis e resoluções foram criadas sobre o transporte, que trouxeram grandes benefícios aos empresários (Roulet, 2015).…”
