Abstract
O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a perceção e sensibilidade ao risco das
“PME de excelência” portuguesas e constatar quais os benefícios que retiram
da gestão do risco. É também objetivo investigar se as empresas entendem a
gestão do risco como algo de positivo e se apresentam maturidade na
identificação e tratamento do risco. O método de análise utilizado é
quantitativo e exploratório. Numa primeira fase, foi efetuado um inquérito
às empresas e realizada uma análise descritiva dos resultados. Numa fase
posterior, foi efetuada a análise fatorial de componentes principais. Os
resultados apresentam quatro fatores com relevância na análise do risco
empresarial, nomeadamente, os fatores relacionados com os riscos de
funcionamento, competitividade, adaptação e mercado. As empresas
associam o risco de funcionamento a características internas, o risco de
competitividade a condições de diferenciação e concorrência, o risco de
adaptação ao ambiente que as rodeia e o risco de mercado a variáveis
financeiras.
The objective of this paper is to analyze the perception and sensitivity to risk of Portuguese “Excellence SME” and underline the benefits from risk management. It also investigates whether companies understand risk management as something positive and show maturity in the identification and treatment of risk. The used method is quantitative and exploratory. A survey to Portuguese companies with the classification of excellence is made and a descriptive statistics analysis is initially carried out. At a later stage a factorial analysis of the principal components is performed. The results show four factors that are relevant in the business risk factor analysis, namely those related with operational, competitiveness, market and adaptation risks. Firms associate operational risk to internal features, whereas competitiveness risk is associated with differentiation conditions and competition, adaptation risk to their environment and market risk is associated with financial variables.
