This paper discusses the integration of operational strategies and corporate finance, focusing on the need for the operations manager to plan a strategy focusing on the creation of corporate value. A methodology is proposed for calculating the added economic value of Brazil's chemical and petrochemical industry in 2001 and 2002, a period marked by major changes in the sector's competitive profile. The results of 2002 validate the core hypothesis of this study, providing a simulation tool to identify the limits of the operations manager's responsibility in the creation of corporate value.
