O objetivo do presente trabalho e promover uma discussao quanto aos efeitos teoricos e metodologicos decorrentes do processo de axiomatizacao do conceito de racionalidade na teoria economica. Particular importância e atribuida as dificuldades teoricas e metodologicas de se transpor o micro rumo ao macrocomportamento economico. Para tanto, apresenta-se o contexto epistemologico em que se da a reducao psicologica do homem economico, o que abrange individualismo metodologico e estruturalismo. Em seguida, discute-se a legitimidade da transcendencia micro-macro a partir do tratamento metodologico do individuo e da firma na microeconomia neoclassica, na qual consumidor e firma sao unidades isomorfas de analise. Argumenta-se que o individualismo inerente a abordagem neoclassica implica na contraposicao entre um nivel individual e um nivel coletivo de analise, de modo que o microcomportamento e estabelecido ex-ante e desvinculado do macro. Influenciadas por esta contraposicao, as primeiras aproximacoes estruturalistas tendem a manter a tendencia axiomatica da racionalidade na teoria economica. Contudo, versoes mais elaboradas dos metodos estruturalistas, caracterizados pela enfase nas relacoes (e nao os agentes) como unidade de analise, permitem resgatar o comportamento do individuo como um produto das relacoes sociais, levando-se em consideracao a interdependencia entre o micro e o macro.

This paper presents a competitive intelligence system developed for the entrepreneurs of the Brazilian woodworking machinery industry. The system, called MaqMad, was designed as a tool to support the enterprise decision-making and gathers information on the competitive and technological environment of the industry. The architecture of the system allows customizing the access to the information available concerning the particularities of each user. Unlike the original conceptions of IC, eminently intra-organizational, MaqMad was structured as an area of inter-organizational cooperation among companies that make up the industry, as well as suppliers and consumers of such equipment. Based on the characterization of technical and institutional aspects, the main limits of the system operation are presented and the possibilities of overcoming them.This paper presents a competitive intelligence system developed for the entrepreneurs of the Brazilian woodworking machinery industry.
