Abstract

The objective of this article is to show that it is possible to build an artifact in design science with the

purpose to formulate alternative of business's competitive strategy. Therefore, it was necessary to

identify a theoretical framework from which we could generate a proper procedure to create artifacts

for this purpose, that is, such a procedure may be implemented by means of computational algorithms

and has some degree of universality. The search to identify this theoretical framework was performed

by exploratory and interpretive literature research about the main currents of the theory of competitive

strategy, which resulted in a comparative study on the subject. This procedure was applied in an

electrical conductors industry, market leader in your field, using the case study methodology. Although

it is not the purpose of this article to design the artifact, it is shown how to do it. The strategy

formulation is a complex problem, even for companies that are qualified for this task. Thus, it is

believed that the application of the design science on that question can assist this task. The study

reported is characterized by innovation in organizational systems and the main contribution of this

paper is to identify a procedure capable of generating the artifact, which seemed to work well, and the

presentation of its architecture.
