Oportunismo como determinante da estrutura de capital: um estudo de caso em nanotecnologia

Abstract

Discussion about determinants of capital structure has been carried on for some time. However, it has been observed a gap on studies of nanotechnology compa- nies, and articles that focuses on the idea of opportunism as a determinant of capital structure, as well. Therefore, this article provides a discussion about the idea of opportunism as a determinant of capital structure in nanotechnology companies in Brazil. So, it was conducted a case study approaching aspects of the adopted capital structure, there was the verification of certain theories about the theme said some sources relevance. It was observed that the company uses the company uses the idea of opportun- ism as a determinant of its capital structure. This occurs due to factor related to the cost of sources and creditors requirements. Thus, the company chooses the sources when the costs and requirements are acceptable.
