A Inovação e os Smart Spenders

Investir em Inovação e Desenvolvimento (I&D) pode não ser o remédio para uma economia pouco desenvolvida e carente de competitividade. São inúmeros os estudos, os relatórios e os rankings que apontam para uma relação entre os investimentos em I&D e as elevadas performances económicas. No entanto, não poderá ser provada a existência de uma significativa correlação estatística. Será o investimento em inovação fundamental para o aumento da competitividade e, consequentemente, para o desenvolvimento sócio-económico? De acordo com o estudo “The Global Innovation 1000” (Booz Allen Hamilton, 2006) que analisa as 1000 empresas globais com maiores investimentos em I&D, só menos de 10% desse universo são de facto empresas eficazes na aplicação desses montantes. Definidas como “Smart Spenders” estas empresas aplicam bem o (relativamente) baixo investimento em inovação. Para os “gastadores inteligentes”, o dinheiro dispendido em inovação significa de facto, inovação eficaz. Este trabalho tem como objectivos: (1) Observar a evolução do conceito de inovação e alguns dos seus rankings; (2) Observar alguns indicadores de inovação; (3) Reconhecer que o investimento em inovação deve ser conjugado com alguns factores de gestão; (4) Analisar o conceito de “Smart Spenders”.

Changing representations and practices in school mathematics: the case of Modern Math in Portugal

The curricular movement known as Modern Mathematics aimed at the transformation of representations and practices in school mathematics. Its study provides us with ways of understanding how these changes came about. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of the ways in which representations of school mathematics gradually were influenced by ideas from the Modern Mathematics movement, how these new ideas merged into local educational traditions, and how they were transformed into meaningful practice. This work is centred on the Portuguese context from the middle 1950s to the middle 1960s, and builds on Chervel’s notion of school culture and Gruzinski’s discussion of connected histories.
