O sector do software e serviços informáticos em Portugal: crescimento económico à distância de um clique

No contexto de recessão económica e desemprego que vive a sociedade portuguesa, a presente discussão sobre soluções para a economia portuguesa assume particular importância. O sector do software e serviços informáticos, por sua vez, tem contribuído para o crescimento económico de muitas economias mundiais. Neste sentido, este trabalho pretende retratar o conceito e analisar a evolução do sector do software e serviços informáticos em Portugal (SSI), assim como o seu estado actual a partir de diferentes ferramentas e os seus possíveis contributos para os diferentes cenários da economia portuguesa. Recorreu-se à literatura já existente, bem como às bases de dados do Instituto Nacional de Estatística (INE) e da Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento (OCDE) para compreender melhor a evolução do sector em Portugal como de outros países relevantes. Para a análise económica do sector, utilizaram-se os modelos de cadeia de valor, factores de produção, circuito económico, a teoria de 5 forças de Porter e a análise SWOT, através dos quais se procuraram identificar as mais diversas perspectivas sobre o mesmo sector. Posteriormente, criaram-se diferentes cenários sobre as incertezas mais relevantes que podem influenciar o impacto do sector no crescimento económico até 2020. Concluímos que, independentemente dos cenários com base nos resultados do nosso questionário, na literatura como nos melhores casos práticos de sucesso fora de Portugal existem vários factores críticos de sucesso que podem desde já ser trabalhados pelos diferentes agentes económicos em Portugal para que o sector possa contribuir directamente para a economia portuguesa.The current discussion on solutions for the Portuguese economy is particularly important in the context of the economic recession and unemployment of the Portuguese society. The sector of software and information services, in turn, has contributed to the economic growth of many other economies. Thus, this work aims to portray the sector of software and other information services in Portugal. With different tools, this work will analyze the sector’s evolution, the current situation, and the future possible contributions to the different possible scenarios of the Portuguese economy. We use the existing literature, as well as the database of the Portuguese Institute for Statistics (INE) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to better understand the evolution of the sector in Portugal and in other relevant countries. For the economic analysis of the sector, we used the models of the value chain, production factors, economic circuit, the theory of Porter's 5 forces and SWOT analysis, through which we sought to identify diversified perspectives on the same sector. Subsequently we set up different scenarios on the most relevant uncertainties that can influence the impact of the sector on economic growth by 2020. We conclude that regardless of the different possible scenarios, based on our survey, the literature and the best case studies of success outside of Portugal, there are several critical success factors which can already be worked by different economic agents in Portugal so that the sector can contribute directly to the Portuguese economy
