Abstract: Planear um negócio é visto por muitos autores como um passo importante no processo empreendedor, apoiando as empresas no seu desenvolvimento. No entanto, não há unanimidade sobre a importância do plano de negócios, uma vez que do planeamento surgem tanto benefícios como custos. Este artigo pretende contribuir para este debate, analisando o plano de negócios no contexto do empreendedorismo corporativo através de uma revisão da literatura. Dado que planear o negócio requer o uso de recursos, mas ajuda a empresa a obter financiamento, a nossa análise leva à conclusão de que o plano de negócios assemelha‑‑se a um investimento: é necessário despender recursos para obter mais recursos e, portanto, a escolha da empresa em planear dependerá da sua avaliação de que o financiamento obtido ultrapassará os recursos gastos.
Business planning is seen by many authors as an important step in the entrepreneurial process, supporting companies in business development. However, there is no unanimity about the importance of the business plan, since both benefits and costs arise from business planning. This paper intends to contribute to this debate by analyzing the business plan in the context of corporate entrepreneurship through a literature review. Since business planning requires the spending of company’s resources but helps the company obtain financing, our analysis leads to the conclusion that business planning may be like an investment, that is, it is necessary to spend resources to gain more resources and, hence, the choice of the company to plan will depend on the evaluation of whether the funding obtained will surpass the resources spent.
