Purpose: To investigate whether the shareholder concentration and the board composition influence the export of Brazilian listed firms from 2010 to 2017. Originality/value: The study contributes to the literature on exports and corporate governance by highlighting that companies with good governance practices, measured by the board composition and ownership/control structure, might increase their exports. This research can serve as a guide for companies to structure their boards in order to positively influence exports and improve performance. In addition, the study raises the question of what would be the “optimal level” of firms’ shareholding concentration in order to improve the decision-making process involved in choosing to expand borders through export. Design/methodology/approach: The study performed logistic regression (logit model) and regression with the censored dependent variable (tobit model). Propensity to export and intensity of export were used as dependent variables. The logit regressions involved a sample of 307 exporting and non-exporting companies, and the tobit regressions involved a sample of 61 exporting firms. Findings: We found a positive relationship between board independence and exports, that is, the greater presence of independent members on the board, the higher the export level of firms. We also found that there is a non-monotonic relationship between shareholder concentration and level of exports. In summary, the study suggests that some corporate governance mechanisms may act as antecedents for firms’ export practices.

O presente estudo teve como intuito analisar os Supersinais da Análise Técnica, buscando elucidar o processo de compra e venda de ativos. Por meio da análise, foram averiguados os aspectos positivos e negativos do uso Supersinais, uma vez que se trata de uma técnica pouco explorada, por ser muito recente. A investigação se dá através de uma revisão bibliográfica que retoma conceitos como Teoria de Dow, Hipótese de Mercado Eficiente e Análise Técnica. Nessa direção, o presente estudo justifica-se por sua contribuição para pesquisas futuras sobre a temática proposta, além de fomentar discussões à luz dos estudos de estratégias. Concluiu-se que os Supersinais da análise técnica podem funcionar com eficiência, entretanto, não representam um índice completamente eficaz se aplicados isoladamente.
