A presente investigação iniciou-se a partir da identificação do problema/ questão de partida: Quais os contributos das estruturas de orientação educativa para a gestão e administração escolar? Esta questão foi o fio condutor da presente investigação, "Contributos das Estruturas de Orientação Educativa na Gestão e Administração Escolar - Estudo de Caso no Agrupamento de Escolas nº 4 de Évora". Neste sentido, constituíram-se como objectivos específicos da presente investigação os seguintes: • Avaliar o funcionamento das estruturas de orientação educativa do Agrupamento de Escolas n.º 4 de Évora. • Identificar os pontos fortes e fracos da intervenção das estruturas de orientação na gestão e administração do Agrupamento de Escolas n.º 4 de Évora. • Elaborar um plano de acção com vista à optimização das estruturas de orientação educativa. Em relação ao estudo empírico, e como forma de dar resposta às questões da investigação, optámos por uma metodologia mista, quantitativa e qualitativa. Após a apresentação dos dados recolhidos, da sua análise e respectiva interpretação, apurámos as seguintes conclusões: A maioria dos inquiridos, neste caso, os docentes, têm opinião favorável em relação às diferentes estruturas, ressalva-se pela negativa a Associação de Pais/Encarregados de Educação, devido a estar inactiva e, pela positiva o Conselho Executivo, consideram-no como um órgão dinamizador de todas as estruturas do Agrupamento; a maioria dos não docentes tem boa opinião sobre o desempenho das suas funções e revela a importância da sua representação no Conselho Pedagógico e na Assembleia de Escola. Os pais e encarregados de educação inquiridos, são consensuais em relação à colaboração com os professores, principalmente com o Director de Turma. Os Directores de Turma inquiridos referem a colaboração com os pais e encarregados de educação, e realçam o papel do órgão de gestão como dinamizador da Associação de Pais/Encarregados de Educação. Os membros da Assembleia de Escola inquiridos, consideram o seu desempenho como activo e dinamizador no processo de aplicação do novo regime de autonomia. No final da nossa dissertação, expressámos as recomendações, acções e sugestões que possam potenciar futuras investigações.

This research project addresses a central question in the IS business value field: Does IS/IT investments impact positively on firm financial performance? IS/IT investments are seen as having an enormous potential impact on the competitive position of the firm, on its performance, and demand an active and motivated participation of several stakeholder groups. Actual research conducted in the Information Systems field, relating IS/IT investments with firm performance use transactions costs economics and resource-based view of the firm to try to explain and understand that relationship. However, it lacks to stress the importance of stakeholder management, as a moderator variable in that relationship. Stakeholder theory sees the firm as the hub centric to the spokes representing various stakeholders who were in essence equidistant to the firm, and survival and continuing profitability of the corporation depend upon its ability to fulfil its economic and social purpose, which is to create and distribute wealth or value sufficient to ensure that each primary stakeholder group continues as part of the corporation’s stakeholder system. Stakeholder theory in its instrumental version, argues that if a firm pays attention to the stakes of all stakeholder groups (and not just shareholders), it will obtain higher levels of financial performance. With this premise in mind, the aim of this paper is to discuss and test the use of stakeholder theory in the IS business value stream of research, in order to achieve a better understanding of the impact of IS/IT investments on firm performance (moderated by stakeholder management). To achieve the expected impact from an IS/IT investment, it is argued that firms need a strong commitment from those stakeholder groups, which lead us to the need of a corporate “stakeholder orientation”. When firm financial performance is measured by returns on assets (ROA), returns on investments (ROI) and returns on sales (ROS), the results show that “stakeholder orientation” impact positively in the relation between IS/IT and firm performance, using a sample of Portuguese large companies.
