Abstract
This Teaching Case aims to explore the prospects of a sugar and alcohol cluster in São Paulo in 2012, focusing on perspectives relating to market fluctuations and how they affect the development of hightech product portfolios. The data presented were obtained from research institutions that specialize in the subject, and constitute a scenario of the sector. The proposal is to enable students to analyze prospects for continued investment, either from the private or public sector. The dilemma presented puts students in the position of mill owners, who must decide in which of the products derived from sugar cane to invest: sugar, ethanol, bioelectricity or product diversification, higher value-added and/or environmentally friendly, as in the case of bioplastics. As a result, it is expected that students can perform an analysis of the conditions of competitive advantage and strategic positioning based on Porter’s Diamond model and other theories about Clusters.
期刊介绍:
The journal Theory and Applications of Categories will disseminate articles that significantly advance the study of categorical algebra or methods, or that make significant new contributions to mathematical science using categorical methods. The scope of the journal includes: all areas of pure category theory, including higher dimensional categories; applications of category theory to algebra, geometry and topology and other areas of mathematics; applications of category theory to computer science, physics and other mathematical sciences; contributions to scientific knowledge that make use of categorical methods.
