Resumo

Esta pesquisa explora os resultados de um estudo de métodos mistos realizado para investigar a adoção de práticas de Gestão Ágil de Projetos (GAP) e as implicações associadas à gestão de riscos em empresas de manufatura na China. Sem repetir a lista detalhada de perguntas de pesquisa, é útil recordar que nosso estudo buscou explorar o que leva as empresas de tecnologia na China a adotarem práticas de Gestão Ágil de Projetos (GAP), bem como estratégias de mitigação de riscos; e como essa gestão de riscos poderia ser integrada com sucesso em um quadro estratégico mais amplo no setor de tecnologia dentro do contexto chinês. A pesquisa utilizou uma pesquisa com 223 funcionários na Província de Jiangxi, China, em 10 empresas de tecnologia, juntamente com entrevistas qualitativas e grupos focais. Nossa análise quantitativa consistiu em estatísticas descritivas, ANOVA e análise de regressão, enquanto para os dados qualitativos utilizamos análise temática. A pesquisa mostrou uma forte adoção das práticas de APM, bem como as chaves para o sucesso: Cultura, abordagem bimodal e Benchmarking, classificadas como "Frequentemente Adotadas." No entanto, foram identificadas grandes diferenças na adoção e nas práticas de gestão de risco entre diferentes papéis organizacionais: a alta administração e os Scrum Masters apresentaram taxas mais altas do que alguns outros papéis. O fator mais forte que previu as práticas de mitigação de riscos em relação às características individuais foram os fatores ambientais, seguidos pelos fatores organizacionais e culturais. O estudo forneceu uma visão sobre alguns dos desafios enfrentados ao adaptar APM para se adequar à cultura organizacional chinesa, especialmente na alocação de princípios ágeis com estruturas de governança hierárquicas e de cima para baixo. Isso reforçou para mim a necessidade de ter um espaço de trabalho físico real, projetado de maneira ágil e apoiado por tecnologia. Com base nessas descobertas, foi desenvolvido um framework estratégico para integrar APM e gestão de riscos, enfatizando o alinhamento organizacional, a adaptação cultural, o aprendizado contínuo e a responsividade ambiental. O estudo contribui para a compreensão da adoção de APM em ambientes de negócios culturalmente distintos e oferece insights práticos para empresas de tecnologia na China que buscam aprimorar suas práticas ágeis e estratégias de gestão de riscos.
