Vantagem competitiva: análise teórica e metodologia

This report reviews the business policy theory focusing on competitive advantage. Four models are reviewed: (1) Industry analysis, (2) Market processes, (3) Resource-Based View and (4) Dynamic Competencies. Competitive advantage notions in each model are compared. In a second section a database of performance data of Brazilian companies is built and two groups (one high-performance and one control group) are identified. A MS Access database is included.
