Abstract in Portuguese
O tema de estudo desta dissertação é a conduta de preços no segmento de lojas de conveniência. Este tipo de varejo foi introduzido no país no final da década de 80 por distribuidoras de combustíveis. Como consequência, a maioria das lojas são franqueadas. Esta pesquisa descritiva foi baseada na realização de entrevistas pessoais com quatro das maiores empresas franqueadoras e de um estudo de campo em lojas de conveniência localizadas no município do Rio de Janeiro. Os depoimentos dos executivos revelaram que o preço final e definido na loja e que as franqueadoras participam do processo de precificação com a sugestão de valores de margens e com a recomendação de políticas de preços. No entanto, foram demonstradas diferenças na importância estratégica que e dada ao preço. Com uma análise comparativa dos resultados foram identificadas diferenças entre as condutas de preços preconizadas pelas franqueadoras e as adotadas pelas lojas franqueadas, sugerindo a existência de problemas na coordenação do canal franqueado. Estas divergências não foram verificadas nas lojas próprias. Por fim, a proximidade a grandes varejistas, como hipermercados e supermercados, parece influenciar o preço das lojas de conveniência.

Abstract in English
The subject of this dissertation is the price conduct of convenience Stores in Brazil. This type of retail was introduced in this country in the end of the 80s by fuel distributor companies. As a consequence, the majority of the Stores are franchised. This descriptive research was based on personal interviews with four of the largest franchisers and on a field study in convenience Stores located in Rio de Janeiro City. The information gathered by the interviews showed that in all four chains the definition of the final price is done at the store levei and that the franchisers suggest margin values and recommend price policies. However, the strategic importance given to the price apparently differs among them. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the results indicated the existence of differences between the conduct recommended by the franchisers and the conduct implemented by the franchisees, which suggests the existence of problems of coordination of the franchised channel. No similar results where identified in the behavior of co-owned Stores. Finally, the presence of large retailers, such as hypermarkets and supermarkets, close to convenience Stores seems to influence their price leveis.
