Abstract

This thesis deals with the strategic management in a particular Italian industry: the mining sector. It is proposed an integrated methodology to implement a competitive analysis to explore trends in the mining sector in terms of business strategies adopted and strategic groups existent. The methodology uses secondary sources to make an environmental analysis and an accounting one. This second type makes use of key performance indicators of the sector as well as highlights the distribution of firms throughout the country. The research provides also information from a questionnaire about production, management, competitiveness, internationalization, innovation, recycling and environmental sustainability of enterprises behavior. Through PCA - Principal Component Analysis some positioning maps were created to identify strategic groups on the basis of four latent variables: competitive advantages, goals, tools and future investments. The design of research aims to bring out not only the Italian mining industry profile, but also to delineate its lineages and possible developments.
