Resumo
Este trabalho apresenta a história e faz uma avaliação da indústria internacional e brasileira de carros de combate, discorrendo também sobre a trajetória da maior empresa brasileira do segmento, a Engesa. Inicialmente foi realizada uma caracterização geral do setor de defesa e da indústria específica de carros de combate, com o intuito de compreender o modus operandi deste importante setor da indústria de defesa, para posteriormente podermos analisar a história recente desta indústria e suas peculiaridades. Em seguida, apresentou-se, de forma sintética, a história do surgimento da indústria de defesa no Brasil, tendo sempre como pano de fundo o processo de industrialização do país, sobretudo no pós-II Guerra Mundial, até o final do período militar (1964-1985). Os resultados do trabalho levaram às seguintes conclusões: (a) o sucesso mundial da Engesa deveu-se tanto a sua percepção privilegiada para ocupar um novo nicho de mercado como à relação especial existente entre seu presidente e o alto comando do Exército brasileiro; (b) a empresa beneficiou-se da mão-de-obra qualificada formada pelos institutos militares brasileiros; (c) uma combinação de fatores negativos, internos e externos, levou a empresa à falência no inicio da década de 1990; e (d) foi identificado um potencial imenso de negócios dentro de setor, que poderia estar sendo ocupado pela empresa, se esta não tivesse falido, ou por uma sucessora ou concorrente desta.
The dissertation presents the history and makes an evaluation of the Brazilian and international combat vehicles industry, disclosing the trajectory of the largest Brazilian company of the sector, Engesa. At first, we made a general characterization of the defense sector, more specifically of the combat vehicles industry, with the objective of understanding the modus operandi of this important sector of the defense industry. Later, we analyze the most recent history of this industry and its peculiarities. In the ensuing chapter, it was presented, in a synthetic way, the history of the beginning of the Brazilian defense industry, always relating the events with the Brazilian industrialization process, mainly after the II World War until the end of the military period (1964-1985). The results of this dissertation lead to the following conclusions: (a) the worldwide success of Engesa was due to its privileged perception to occupy a new market niche as well as to the special relations existing between the corporation president and the high command of the Brazilian Army; (b) the corporation was helped, mostly in its beginning as a producer of armaments, by the qualified labor force formed by the Brazilian Military Institutes; (c) a combination of negative factors, internal and external,, brought the company to bankruptcy in the beginning of the decade of 1990; and (d) it was identified a huge business potential in the sector that could have been occupied by the corporation, if it still existed or by a successor or competitor.
