KPI is a fundamental concept in modern business management, widely used in both Brazilian and American corporate environments. In Brazil, particularly in multinational companies and tech startups, the English acronym 'KPI' is often preferred even in Portuguese-language discussions. In traditional Portuguese companies, there is greater emphasis on using the full Portuguese translation 'indicador-chave de desempenho,' though the English term is increasingly adopted in international business contexts.
