Abstract

Este artículo tiene como objetivo identificar y analizar un conjunto de variables relativas a la estrategia y entorno organizativo que pueden potencialmente influir en la adopción del Cuadro de Mando Integral (CMI) en empresas portuguesas de distintos tamaños. Para comprobar empíricamente las hipótesis formuladas hemos recurrido a los datos obtenidos mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario postal a 549 organizaciones privadas portuguesas (pequeñas y medianas empresas y grandes empresas), con una tasa de respuesta total del 28,2%. Los resultados obtenidos indican que la implementación del CMI es independiente de la actividad/sector económico en el que opera la organización. Además, hemos comprobado que las organizaciones que siguen una estrategia defensiva atribuyen mayor importancia a la perspectiva financiera o equivalente del CMI. Por otro lado, no hemos obtenido evidencia empírica respecto a la posible relación entre la implementación del CMI, el tipo de estrategia adoptada por la organización, la fase/etapa del ciclo de vida en que se encuentra la organización y la intensidad de competencia del entorno.
