A relação entre sistemas de gestão e sucesso em empresas de construção civil: uma análise de práticas de gestão e inovação

Abstract

Organizations exist with the intention of exploring one or more lines of business and, through this, offer goods or services to the market. It is estimated that in Brazil there are more than 130,000 companies active in the construction industry, which seek to generate some kind of value for society directly or indirectly through their various business models. For an ordinary organization to continue in the market, it is necessary that a logic of profitability be respected, in order to ensure that indicators such as profit and revenue can have positive results. Thus, managers seek to apply managerial methods that enhance success indicators, in order to bring perpetuity to the companies of which they are part. The changes and the global dynamism of today's world require continuous improvement of these methods and of the processes that respond to this characteristic, using innovation to constantly generate value. Robust and complex management systems are necessary to ensure a significant probability of success year after year. In light of this, this study sought to understand what are the main factors that contribute to success within 10 companies in the civil construction sector in the state of Alagoas. Through correlation analysis, it was concluded that aspects related to clarity and comprehensibility of strategy tend to have a high correlation when compared to positive financial results, and that working with a management system based on innovation significantly reduces uncertainty about future results. Furthermore, it was also possible to observe, for the sample of companies from the sector analyzed, the propensity for better results and reduced uncertainties when working holistically in management systems based on innovation, adaptability, growth, leadership, culture, team, and strategy.
