Os fatores críticos de sucesso do comércio varejista de flores e plantas ornamentais : as lojas de arte floral no município de Porto Alegre/RS

A principal finalidade desta pesquisa foi a de identificar os Fatores Críticos de Sucesso (FCS), sob a ótica dos proprietários, relacionados ao funcionamento das Lojas de Arte Floral (LAF), agente integrante do Comércio Varejista de Flores e Plantas ornamentais (CVFPO/RS) do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Buscou-se através da análise de informações sobre as suas peculiaridades, contribuir para uma melhor compreensão sobre o seu funcionamento e a sua articulação com os outros elos da cadeia. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo exploratório em 35 empresas do CVFPO/RS, especificamente nas LAF localizadas no município de Porto Alegre, onde foi aplicado um instrumento de coleta de dados (questionário) diretamente aos proprietários das LAF. A CPFPO é composta pelos seguintes elos: Pesquisa e assistência técnica; Fornecimento de insumos e equipamentos; Produção agrícola; Atacado; Varejo e Consumidor Final. A ausência de um diagnóstico sobre o setor de flores acarreta, muitas vezes, uma ausência de políticas formais, uma incompreensão sobre a situação mercadológica e, também, uma ausência sobre o funcionamento de toda cadeia desse setor. Na presente pesquisa, o elo de Comercialização (varejo) foi o escolhido, devido à necessidade de uma melhor compreensão do CVFPO/RS, como também, pela inexistência de pesquisas acadêmicas e a disponibilidade escassa de dados e de informações relevantes para a sua análise no Estado. A partir da análise dos dados coletados, sob a ótica dos proprietários, os resultados da pesquisa apontaram para os seguintes FCS: atendimento de padrões de qualidade das flores; acompanhamento das necessidades do cliente; desenvolvimento dos Recursos Humanos atuantes nas LAF e, monitoramento da concorrência.
