| description | Objective: The article aimed to analyze how the effectuation and causation logics were used in the entrepreneurial process of two companies from Minas Gerais. The effectuation logic is based on issues related to the entrepreneur's decision making and contrasts with the causation logic - which refers to traditional methods of the entrepreneurial process based on planning and determined sequences. Methodology: A qualitative comparative study was carried out in two companies from Minas Gerais. The evidence was obtained from interviews with the founding partners, in addition to observation and documents, and the data analysis was performed using content analysis. Results: The results showed that in the two cases analyzed, the entrepreneurs relied on effectuation logic for setting up the businesses, with little use of causation logic but as the businesses consolidated and moved beyond the initial founding phase, the entrepreneurs took different attitudes, basing their decisions and actions on greater planning and systematic analysis of the context. Limitations: Some studies show that cultural differences can have an influence on the entrepreneurial process and how entrepreneurs make decisions. This variable was not contemplated in this study, which represents a limitation. Additionally, the study analyzed the entrepreneurial process of two companies from Minas Gerais, which does not allow for generalization. Originality/contributions: the work contributes to the national studies on the entrepreneurial process, mainly from the principles that compose the effectuation logic, seeking to identify and classify the decisions and actions of entrepreneurs in the causation and effectuation logics. |

Objetivo: O artigo teve por objetivo analisar como as lógicas effectuation e causation foram utilizadas no processo empreendedor de duas empresas mineiras. A lógica effectuation surgiu a partir de questões relacionadas à tomada de decisão do empreendedor e se contrapõe à lógica causation - que se refere aos métodos tradicionais sobre o processo de empreender baseado em planejamento e sequências determinadas. Metodologia: Foi realizado um estudo qualitativo comparativo em duas empresas mineiras. As evidências foram obtidas a partir de entrevistas com os sócios-fundadores, além de observação e documentos, sendo a análise dos dados feita a partir da análise de conteúdo. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que, nos dois casos analisados, os empresários se basearam na lógica effectuation para criação das empresas, com pouco uso da lógica causation mas, na medida que os negócios se consolidaram e superaram a fase inicial de fundação, os empresários tomaram atitudes diferentes, baseando suas decisões e ações em maior planejamento e análise sistemática do contexto. Limitações: Alguns estudos mostram que diferenças culturais podem ter influência sobre o processo empreendedor e na forma como empreendedores tomam decisões. Essa variável não foi contemplada nesse estudo, o que representa uma limitação. Adicionalmente o estudo analisou o processo empreendedor de duas empresas mineiras, o que não permite generalização. Originalidade/contribuições: o trabalho contribui com os estudos nacionais sobre o processo empreendedor, principalmente a partir dos princípios que compõem a lógica effectuation, buscando identificar e classificar as decisões e ações dos empreendedores nas lógicas causation e effectuation.
