Resumo: | ||||||||
Although mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity date from
the end of the
eighteenth and beginning of nineteenth century, as a
consequence of the Industrial
Revolution, it is clear that the transactions that took
place in the 1990s have a
distinct character to the ones observed in preceding
decades, due to their intensity,
the magnitude of the values and sectors involved.
Substantial amount of M&A
activity took place in the iron ore industry in the last
few years, which modified its
structure significantly. The objective of this study is to
analyze the processes of
M&A conducted by Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD),
worldwide leader of
this industry, in order to verify the adequacy for
competitive strategy. With the
help of case study methodology and the triangulation of
methods strategy, data
was collected by way of documental / telematic
investigations as well as a survey
and in-depth interviews. Data interpretation and analysis
were carried out in the
light of the theoretical references which were established
by the review of the
literature, with the support Macedo-Soares`s systemic and
integrative model in its
traditional and relational versions. The study`s results
suggest that there is indeed
adequacy between the firm`s strategy, inasmuch as it
enables to take advantage of
environmental and relational opportunities while reducing
pertinent threats, by
capitalizing on the firm`s as well as its relationships`
strengths and minimizing
their weaknesses. In the conclusion, recommendations are
made to conduct
further studies focusing on the main competitors of CVRD
that have also carried
out M&A transactions, as well as on its customers - key
strategic actors of the
steel industry.
