摘要

abstract_textpThis work has investigated the main characteristics of performance measurement of the melon producing companies located in the fruit producing area Mossoro/Barauna, based on a research on the managers of the whole 21 companies registered in the COEX (Executive Committee of Phytossanity of the State of Rio Grande do Norte). Non parametric statistic tests were done in order to test the hypothesis relating manager's time experience in the sector and the benchmarking utilization; company's size and the assessment of its performance; company's size and the existence of the EUREPGAP certification; company's age and benchmarking utilization, existence of the EUREPGAP certification and use of performance assessment, and manager's degree of instruction versus the lack of business methodology to implement a system of performance assessment. The results indicate that the last two hypothesis were accepted, which was interpreted as related variables maintaining an association of reciprocal influence./p/abstract_text
