Geração de riqueza em empresas vencedoras do PNQ: uma análise usando EVA

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the value creation by National Brazilian Quality Award winners using Economic Value Added (EVA) as the performance measure and to compare this performance with that of competitors from the same economic sector. The application of EVA as a performance metric is different from the approaches of other studies. The Brazilian database Economatica, financial websites, and companies' websites were the main data sources used. The data acquired covered a period of time of ten years (2000-2009). Parametric tests were applied to test the hypothesis. The main finding indicates that the winner companies increased the value creation to the shareholders after being awarded the National Brazilian Quality Award. Another main finding indicates that the winner companies have increased the value creation on average to the shareholders more than the companies from the same economic sector after being awarded the National Brazilian Quality Award. Note that before the awards were issued, the studied companies were not creating more value to shareholders than the companies from the same economic sector.
