Impacto das externalidades geradas pelas multinacionais na intangibilidade de empresas brasileiras: um estudo no setor de veículos e peças

Abstract

This study had as objective to evaluate the impact of variables related to the spillover channels in intangibility of Brazilian companies. It is thought that the role of Foreign Direct Investment is of great relevance to the capture intangibles by Brazilian companies. However, technology transfer discussed in many papers is reason of great controversy. For evaluation the intangibles absorption, it was developed multiple regression model using as independent variables spillover channels or absorptive capacity aspects of the domestic companies. As a way of directing the work and allow a vertical analysis was defined as a research sample the sector vehicles and parts. Data were collected with helping of the database Economática® involving Brazilian publicly traded companies, with available data for the period defined in the survey. It was noticed large linear fit among some of the different measures of intangibility, and that most of sample showed similar results for the different measures of intangibility used in this work. This fact allowed the alternation of these measures as the dependent variable of the model formulated. Regression model showed relatively low capacity to explain most of the intangibility oscillations and presented results between 19 and 25%. One factor that justifies these determination coefficients reduced is that during the period chosen for study, the different measures of intangibility captured small changes in the companies sampled. The results allowed to realize the companies regionalization influence, and there was a positive indication for those which are closer to most automakers in the Southeast. Additionally, employees qualification measured by Technological Incorporation Degree (TID), presented relevant research results, also prominently among the others independent variables.
