Description
Summary:This paper presents a methodology for evaluating production systems by measuring the intern competitiveness of in beef cattle. During the first quarter of 2010, questionnaires were administered to 65 farmers, 36 interviews in the Southern Region (State of Rio Grande do Sul) and 29 in the Northern Region (States of Para and Rondonia). Defined the key drivers that affect the international competitiveness--technology, management, market relations and institutional environment, an specific weight was assigned to each in order to get the index of competitiveness. The results were statistically analyzed by the item response theory and the correspondence analysis (ANACOR) with the SPSS® software. The South was more competitive than the North. Regardless of region, the critical factors of competitiveness were: crop-livestock integration, strategic planning, calculation of financial indicators, beef pricing, access to technological innovations and organization of farmers. Key words: agribusiness, beef cattle, productive chain, competitiveness, production system. O trabalho apresenta uma metodologia de avaliacao de sistemas de producao atraves da mensuracao da competitividade interna na bovinocultura de corte. Durante o primeiro trimestre de 2010, foram aplicados 65 questionarios com pecuaristas, sendo 36 entrevistas na Regiao Sul (Estado do Rio Grande do Sul) e 29 na Regiao Norte (Estados do Para e Rondonia). Foram definidos os principais direcionadores que afetam a competitividade interna tecnologia, gestao, relacoes de mercado e ambiente institucional, sendo atribuido um peso especifico para cada direcionador, afim de obter o indice de competitividade. Os resultados foram analisados estatisticamente pela teoria de resposta ao item e pela analise de correspondencia (ANACOR) com o software SPSS®. A Regiao Sul apresentou uma maior competitividade que a Regiao Norte. Independente da regiao, os fatores criticos de competitividade foram: integracao lavoura-pecuaria, planejamento estrategico, calculo de indicadores financeiros, formacao de precos, acesso a inovacoes tecnologicas e organizacao dos produtores. Palavras-chave: agronegocio, bovinocultura, cadeia produtiva, competitividade, sistemas de producao.
