“…Rindfleisch and Heide (1997) and Grover and Malhotra (2003) asserted most TCE studies failed to demonstrate TCE's performance implications.

The performance criterion of TCE is often narrowly limited to just the costs and not the benefits from the transaction.…”

“…Os líderes impulsionam todos os níveis da organização a refletirem e repensarem os pressupostos, e a identificarem inovações, que melhorem o desempenho dos clientes. Estes não podem ser recetores passivos de inovação, mas sim, impulsionadores de mudança provocada pela inovação (Mcivor, 2011).…”

“…A necessidade de uma maior eficiência e redução de custos obrigou muitas empresas a inovar, especializando-se num número limitado de áreas-chave (Mcivor, 2011). Esta necessidade levou a que muitas empresas recorressem a vários tipos de estratégias de gestão, sendo uma delas, a subcontratação de atividades, também conhecida como outsourcing (Pereira et al, 2017).…”

Resumo: Atualmente as tecnologias de informação sustentam operações empresariais, unem elos distantes de cadeias de fornecimento e ainda, empresas a clientes. Neste artigo analisamos as motivações que levam uma empresa a promover outsourcing de atividades, ligadas aos seus processos de engenharia, tendo como foco principal o desenvolvimento de novos produtos, sem descurar os riscos associados ao outsourcing. O Business Process Outsourcing é uma decisão estratégica, que apresenta resultados a médio/longo prazo. O trabalho empírico de suporte a este artigo intitula-se "Outsourcing nas atividades de desenvolvimento de novos produtos, o caso da Volkswagen do Brasil", elaborado por Pereira, Scur & Mello. O estudo é qualitativo, pois foi realizado por amostragem, através de entrevistas presenciais, gravadas com autorização dos entrevistados. Este estudo contribui para o desenvolvimento da atividade empresarial. Identifica as razões pelas quais uma empresa do setor automóvel subcontrata "fornecedores" para realizar as suas atividades e desenvolver novos produtos.Conclui-se que a opção pelo outsourcing está relacionada com a falta de um determinado recurso ou capacidade para realizar a 142 atividade. Foram apontados como riscos do outsourcing, a fuga de conhecimento, a perda de capacidade crítica e consequentemente, a dependência em relação ao fornecedor e ainda, a capacidade da empresa em adquirir novas tecnologias.Palavras-chave: Outsourcing, Inovação, Volkswagen.

Resumo: O processo de terceirização de serviços logísticos (TSL) é considerado incipiente na gestão das organizações, não só pelas suas questões operacionais como também pelas dificuldades de se criar elos com a estratégia da empresa. O presente estudo teórico, fundamentado na Teoria Baseada em Recursos, visa propor umAbstract: The process of Outsourcing Logistics Service (OLS) is deemed incipient in the management of organizations, not only because of the operational problems it presents, but also of its difficulties fitting into the company's overall strategy. The present theoretical study, building on the resource-based view of the firm, aims to propose a framework that guides managers in developing strategies to OLS starting from the operational structure to establish the necessary resources, capabilities, and routines. In addition, taken into account is the importance of analyzing risks and resilience in the environment, concomitantly with the analysis of the operational structure. Thus, four questions were developed, aimed at leading operations managers to reflect on the development of the strategy. The framework proposed for OLS considers the supply chain management department as the main interlocutor of the strategy. This framework can be adapted according with the necessity of the contracting company, and its main intention is to enable the establishment of a project that contemplates the necessary resources, the capabilities (criteria), and the operational routines (subcriteria) for the selection of a logistics service provider in the market, one which truly addresses the needs of the organization. This framework is already intrinsic in the practical actions of the authors, because of their extensive advisory activity over the last five years in OLS to logistics service provider. In addition, it is worth mentioning that so far in the tacit applications of this framework there has been no application similar to another.
