Abstract

This study case presents the analysis of the Perception of the south-Brazilian furniture industry entrepreneurs on the barriers of the American Free Trade Area (Afta). A structured survey was sent to the furniture firms located in the South-Brazilian States: Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. The Simple Correspondence Analysis and the Cluster Analysis were the statistical methods used for collected data processing. The results point out that for the furniture entrepreneurs the firm external barriers are more important than the firm internal barriers.
