Entries are free and can be made until the 1st of August
The MPE Brasil – Micro and Small Business Competitiveness Award is open until the 1st of August for the 2014 edition. Promoted by Sebrae Nacional, Movimento Brasil Competitivo (MBC) and Gerdau, with technical support from the National Quality Foundation ( FNQ), the initiative recognizes innovative concepts and good management practices in various sectors of the economy. Enrollments are free and can be made online (http://www.mbc.org.br/mpe/) or at Sebrae service points throughout the country.
Competing organizations are evaluated for the quality of administration and innovative capacity, through the use of a self-assessment questionnaire, based on the Management Excellence Model (MEG) of FNQ. More than having the maturation of your business quantified, participation in the Award promotes the incentive to adhere to market analysis and the visualization of opportunities in different niches.
In addition to receiving a personalized report with strengths and an indication of opportunities for improvement in management, registered enterprises participate in excellence seminars held in their state and have the opportunity to increase competitiveness and improve their products and services, contributing to development the economic impact of your community.
Companies with annual gross revenue of up to R$ 3,600,000.00 are eligible to compete. Composed of eight categories (industry, commerce, agribusiness, tourism, IT, health, education and services, in addition to highlights in social responsibility and innovation), MPE Brasil works, year after year, as an incentive to micro and small Brazilian companies, recognizing the importance and the results achieved with the use of the concepts of management, excellence and quality.
To participate, you must complete the self-assessment questionnaire, a nationally standardized methodology. After completing the process, the organizations with the best performance are visited by qualified evaluators and are submitted to a technical panel. If awarded in their state, they start competing with organizations from all over Brazil in each category. The winners win the right to use the MPE Brasil brand as a communication tool and to be recognized as an example of a management system aligned with the principles of world excellence.
