Technical and economic-financial performance of pantaneiro lamb finishing in feedlot (F) and semi-feedlot (SF) was evaluated. When analyzing the profitability, economic efficiency and the price sensitivity, was profit in all the scenarios evaluated. The gross margin (GM) was 69% and 52%, net margin (NM) was 65% and 48% and profitability index (PI) was 39% and 29%, as well as total productivity of factors (TPF) was R$1.53 and R$1.36, respectively, in the systems F and SF. Investment analysis showed that the activity is economically viable, remunerating all production factors and capital invested. Internal return tax was, respectively, 27% and 16% for the in feedlot and semi-feedlot systems. Key words: production simulation; performance; sheep production; pantaneiro lamb, production systems.

This article provides empirical evidence for the relationship between the market orientation, entrepreneurial orientation, and collaboration of external actors in the processes of incremental and radical innovations in rural enterprises. The research tested two sets of assumptions: first, the relation between contributions of strategic orientation and innovation processes; and second, collaborations of external stakeholders in the implementation of innovation processes. Data were collected from 208 rural enterprises and analyzed with the use of techniques of partial least squares structural equation modeling. Results showed that the market orientation contributes to the development of incremental innovation, and that the entrepreneurial orientation contributes to the implementation of the incremental and radical innovations. Specific agents (buyers, suppliers of goods and services, consultants, and others producers), collaborate positively in implementing incremental innovation; however, generic agents do not. The generic agents (universities and specialized public organizations) are the ones that most intervene in radical innovations. The use of consistent theory in the areas of strategy, marketing and management in identifying that some of their causal relationships are confirmed for rural businesses unlike others, due to the structure of the market and the products produced by them.

The academic literature presents current progress in understanding the development of business strategies, how to improve the skills and resources to meet competition and turbulence of the competitive environment. This paper examined the relationships of the constructs entrepreneurial orientation (Naman; Slevin, 1993) and marketing capability (VORHIES; HARKER, 2000) on business performance (GONZÁLES-BENITO et al., 2009) perceived by managers, focusing on small business retailers. We evaluated the empirical models proposed in the literature for entrepreneurial orientation, marketing capabilities, business performance and the role of their relationships under the moderating effects of the type of firm, location, and age since its foundation. Data were collected in a non-probabilistic cross-sectional sample of 262 retail and service business in the Mato Grosso do Sul State. The hypotheses tested by means of statistical approaches and exploratory factor analysis and by structural equations modeling, using the maximum likelihood estimation and fit indices of the conceptual model. Review of data provides empirical evidence for the confirmation of the theoretical models adopted, favoring the inference that small retailers achieve higher business performance, when greater is the intensity of entrepreneurial orientation and the marketing capability. Empirical evidence supports that there are no significant differences in the practices of entrepreneurial orientation and marketing capability among firms like micro or small business. However, practices were observed between these two different constructs for businesses as their location, age and business sector, like retail or service. With regard to managerial implications, due to the results of this paper, leads to the suggestion that businessman retailer adopt a posture more entrepreneurial, knowledge of the strategic actions of competitors and in understanding the wants and needs of consumers, such as in the intensification of marketing tools for obtaining greater business performance. We highlight the originality of this study to address the possible shortcomings of the few empirical studies related to strategic actions and business performance of small retailers available in the national and international literature.
