Um Arquivo

Um Arquivo tem como ponto de partida a experiência de um processo de criação teatral – Projeto de Criação Teatral com a Comunidade “Na Fábrica”. Ao longo dos diferentes períodos do trabalho, diversos materiais, conteúdos e documentos de diferentes naturezas emergem - uma espécie de arquivo em trânsito, em permanente transformação. Que formas de organizar e dar a ver a memória de um processo de criação teatral? Pretendeu-se refletir, analisar e experimentar formas de preservar e partilhar este percurso de criação. Foi elaborado Um Arquivo online (http://www.nafabrica.pt/) que coloca à disposição do visitante uma coleção de documentos composta por uma extensa quantidade de registos digitais que inclui vídeo, áudio, imagem e texto. Através de um exercício de seleção e reescrita criouse, também, a oportunidade de ampliar a compreensão dos processos criativos, e de nós mesmos enquanto sujeitos de uma prática e discurso artísticos.

Return on assets in the Tobacco Industry analysis of the four main Tobacco Manufacturers

This paper studies operating profitability drivers in the Four Main Tobacco Manufacturers for the period 2004-2014. The operating profitability is analyzed as return on assets (ROA) based on the DuPont Extended Model breakdown in degree of operational risk, gross sales margin and assets turnover. The sources of ROA are market share and price strategies appraised through the drivers: firm-size, global value and strategic choices. Using consolidated data, results suggest that firm-size and global value holds a positive relationship with ROA. Also innovation through less harmful tobacco products can lead to better ROA despite no correlation between R&D and ROA.

Relatório de estágio curricular

The purpose of the current internship report is to share the opportunity I have had to learn during my stay in CMVM as an intern, specifically in relation to the exercise of private equity supervision in Portugal, in order to contribute to the study of private equity legal framework. Private equity is the activity to finance or acquire enterprises with growth potential (normally consider as genuine industry), for a limited period of time, in order to support the enterprise’s development to benefit from future profit sales of participations. By observing and studying the registration procedures, as well as the specific legislation and reality of other jurisdictions, it is concluded that supervision specifically related to private equity is one of the most important aspects in this industry, as it is the best way to know and control it. To improve the performance of supervisory functions, and the very development of private equity, it is essential to have a legislative review in order to simplify the rules enforcement necessary for the proper running of the industry as well as for more efficient supervision and control of this activity, thus developing it and making it more attractive in a national and international basis.
