Ascenção e queda do provimento de acesso gratuito à Internet no Brasil: o papel dos modelos de negócio

This research was commenced with the idea to promote an strategic evaluation of the sustentability of the free Internet access, analysing its process of value creation, its sources of revenue generation, its business models development as well as its capacity to generate adequated returns to the investors. It was concluded that the free Internet access is not dead. Indeed, what has occoured was a migration from a model completely based on delivering a single service, generally dependent of publicity sells revenues, to a hibrid based business model with different types of services and with revenues been generated from multiple sources. Nevertheless, not all players were capable to evolute their business models and survive, what occasioned a huge number of fails, mergers and acquisitions, resulting in a concentration all over the segment.

Globalização de capacidades tecnológicas inovadoras e o papel de subsidiárias de empresas transnacionais (ETNs) no contexto de países em desenvolvimento: a trajetória de uma empresa do setor de TIC no Brasil

This dissertation seeks to add new evidence to the international debate on globalization of innovation in the developing countries context. Globalization of innovation, in this dissertation, is defined and measured by the types, levels and rate of innovative technological capability accumulation and the underlying technological learning processes (sources of capabilities) at the firm level in late-industrializing countries ¿ or developing countries. This relationship is examined within a large transnational corporation (TNC) subsidiary of the information and communication technology (ICT) sector in Brasil: Motorola do Brasil during over the period from 1996 to 2006. In the international literature there is a strong debate on the extent to which innovative technological capabilities have been spreading internationally. But, the most of the studies are focused on early industrialized countries. In other words, there is still a scarcity of analysis, mainly at the firm level, from the perspective of developing countries. This dissertation supports itself in analytical basis developed in the international literature on accumulation of technological capabilities and learning in the context of developing countries. The learning processes examined in this dissertation are: (i) intra-firm learning processes; (ii) inter-firm learning processes (links between mother and sister companies); and (iii) links between the firm and other organizations of the innovation system (universities, research institutes, among others). Based on first-hand empirical evidence, qualitative and quantitative, collected on the basis of extensive fieldwork, this dissertation examines these issues with adequate level of detail and depth, in this large company in Brazil. The study results suggest that: Concerning the path of the technological capability accumulation, the firm exhibited heterogeneity in the path of accumulation of technological capabilities to distinct functions. For the functions Software Engineering and Process and Management Project the firm reached the Level 6 (Innovative Intermediate Superior), on a scale that ranges from 1 to 7; In relation to technological capability sources, the firm deliberately sought and built sources of knowledge in order to develop and sustain its innovative technological capabilities. The dissertation, thus, contributes to adding new empirical evidence to the debate on globalization of innovative capabilities from a late-industrializing perspective.

Trajetórias De Acumulação De Capacidades Inovadoras, Mecanismos De Aprendizagem E Fatores Organizacionais Relativos A Atividades Em Gestão De Projetos: Estudo De Caso Comparativo Inter-Empresarial Na Indústria De Bens De Capital E De Celulose E Papel No Brasil

Over the last 40 years there has been a profusion of studies about the ccumulation of technological capacities in firms from developing economies. However, there remain few studies that examine, on a combined basis, the relationship among: the trajectories of technological capacities accumulation; the underlying learning mechanisms; and, the implications of organizational factors for these two variables. Still scarcer are the studies that examine the relationship among these variables along time and based on a comparative case study. This dissertation examines the relationship among the trajectory of accumulation of innovative capacities in complex project management, the learning mechanisms underlying these technological capacities and the intra-organizational factors that influence these learning echanisms. That set of relationships is examined through a comparative and a long-term (1988-2008) case study in a capital goods firm (for the pulp and paper industry) and a pulp mill in Brazil. Based on first-hand quantitative and qualitative empiric evidence, gathered through extensive field research, this dissertation found: 1. Both firms accumulated innovative capacity in project management at the international frontier level (Level 6). However, there was variability between the firms in terms of the nature and speed of accumulation of those capacities. It was also observed that, at this level of innovation, the innovative capacities of both firms are not confined to their organizational boundaries, but they are distributed beyond their boundaries. 2. So that these companies could accumulate those levels of innovative capacities it was necessary to manage several learning mechanisms: leveraging of external knowledge and its internalization in terms of internal apacities of the firm. In other words, as the companies accumulated more innovative levels of capacities for project management, it was necessary to manage different cycles of technological learning. 3. Further, the relationship between the ccumulation of technological capacities and learning was affected positively by intra-organizational factors, such as 'authority disposition', 'mutability of work roles' and 'intensity of internal crises', and negatively by the factor 'singularity of goals'. This dissertation revealed divergent results between firms in two of the four factors studied. These results contribute to advance our understanding of the complexity and variability involved in the process of accumulation of innovative capacities in firms from developing economies. This highlights the growing importance of the organizational and the human resource dimensions of innovation and technological capacity as the company approaches the international frontier. The results suggest to managers that: (i) the good performance in project management in the two firms studied did not occur simply as a result of the pulp and paper Brazilian industry growth, rather as a result of the deliberate construction and accumulation of the capacities through an intensive and coordinated cyclical process of technological learning, (ii) to develop innovative capabilities in project management, besides looking for learning mechanisms they should also look at the organizational factors that influence the learning mechanisms directly, (iii) performance of pulp mill¿s projects is better when projects are implemented together with technology suppliers than when performed only by the mill. This dissertation concludes that capital goods firms have been having a fundamental role for the innovative capabilities accumulation in project management of pulp mills in Brazil (and vice-versa) for a long time. This contradicts some authors' propositions that affirm that: a) equipment suppliers for the pulp and paper industry have been creating little, if any, development of processes or engineering projects in Brazil; b) firms in the pulp and paper industry have little capacity for machinery and equipments projects only taking place in few technological activities, being internal or external to the firm. Finally, some studies are proposed for future research.

Valoração ambiental: aplicação de métodos de valoração em empresas dos setores mineração, papel e celulose e siderurgia

Industrial segment uses natural resources in a wide scale, but evaluate the use of these resources is a complex and new task. Few is known about existing methodologies of evaluation, mainly because of the fact that the value of this resource is more implicit than explicit. It is known that evaluation methods support the environmental accounting but the industrial community for an effective environmental management of their businesses does not yet use this tool in a regular basis. The main objective of this work is to analyze how companies who develop industrial activities on mining, siderurgy, paper and cellulose segments, are evaluating the use of natural resources for economic development, in terms of methodologies application for environment evaluation. Based on an explore research with companies from the segments previously defined in an intentional sampling and through a case study, it was possible to understand enterprise behavior according to the existing level of knowledge internalized on evaluation methodologies, to go deeper on an analysis of the premises and of the basis of the methodologies in an environmental accounting project of a paper and cellulose segment industry.

O papel do programa de educação tributária na mudança de hábito da população jovem do Espírito Santo: o caso dos municípios de São Matheus e Muniz Freire

This paper intends to propose a study to evaluate and analyse the influence of tax education in the behavior of young inhabitants of the Espirito Santo State living in the cities of Muniz Freire and São Mateus. The context of the problem under investigation consists in the context of a frequent conflict between consumers, the state and companies. These conflicts arise because the state does not provide sufficient and adequate services that lie under its responsability. Due to this fact, companies often conclude that it is not worthwhile to pay state taxes, and the consumer has great trouble when trying to obtain the rights they are entitled to from the companies and from the state. Therefore, the intermediate aims of this paper were to research behavior related to the moment of purchase and the reception of a bill of sale, especifically, if mechanisms of pressure, involvement and personal commitment, exert any influence over the consumers request for a tax receipt. The methodology to reach these objectives was a field survey through questionnaires. The final results show that through the tax education the students are assimilating the importance of the taxes.

A importância da reavaliação do papel dos Bancos de desenvolvimento e o caso do BANDES

o presente estudo analisa de que forma a reavaliação do papel dos bancos de desenvolvimento e uma efetiva alteração de seu direcionamento estratégico, principalmente no que tange à sua forma de apoiar financeiramente os empreendimentos, em um mercado competitivo e inovador, poderia contribuir para o desenvolvimento regional dos estados onde estão localizados. o levantamento empírico foi realizado no BANDES Banco de Desenvolvimento do Espírito Santo que se tornou desde sua criação em 1967 o principal instrumento de fomento e de financiamento de longo prazo da economia capixaba. A reflexão tende à conclusão de que a reavaliação dos bancos de desenvolvimento, neste atual cenário econômico, será fator decisivo de sobrevivência dessas instituições bem como contribuirá para a diminuição das distorções regionais dos estados onde estão localizados desde que, na construção de uma nova visão, as diretrizes a serem implementadas por essas instituições estejam em sintonia com as ações do governo, com as carências regionais/setoriais e principalmente com um mundo competitivo e globalizado.

Declínio da tecnologia WAP 1.0 no Brasil: o papel dos modelos de negócios

o surgimento dos telefones celulares foi uma grande revolução nas telecomunicações, pois as pessoas poderiam se comunicar de qualquer lugar, mesmo em movimento. No entanto, a grande demanda obrigou a criação de novos sistemas digitais de telefonia, com mais qualidade nas ligações, capacidade de transmissão de voz, dentre outros. Posteriormente, surgiu uma demanda que não queria apenas mais qualidade, mas também a disponibilização de serviços disponíveis a partir do celular. Isto originou o uso da tecnologia WAP. Focalizando o estudo no mercado brasileiro, a tecnologia WAP foi anunciada como a responsável por trazer a Internet utilizada nos computadores convencionais diretamente para o celular. Entretanto, diversos problemas relativos ao uso e custo desta tecnologia indicaram claras desvantagens da Internet no celular em comparação com a Internet convencional. Isto tomou a tecnologia W AP um fracasso de crítica no Brasil. Esta dissertação busca comprovar o fracasso da la versão da tecnologia W AP - W AP 1.0 - e a participação dos modelos de negócios utilizados na derrocada desta tecnologia no mercado brasileiro de telefonia celular.

O papel do cinema na construção da identidade da Cinelândia

A partir das transformações ocorridas nos espaços arquiteturais, sociais e urbanos do Rio de Janeiro nas últimas décadas do século XIX e início do século XX, a dissertação analisa o processo de inserção do cinema como objeto de ressignificação da Praça Marechal Floriano, nomeada Cinelândia na década de 1930. Supondo que este sentido empregado ao local não está somente na construção ou transformação dos prédios dos cinemas, mas nas ressignificações operadas pelo meio social, a análise assinala a importância do projeto do empresário espanhol Francisco Serrador Carbonell, que construiu no local um complexo de cine-teatros que tinha o objetivo de recriar a atmosfera da Broadway de Nova Iorque nos anos 1920. A hipótese é que as reformas urbanísticas empreendidas décadas atrás e que tinham como objetivo inserir a cidade do Rio de Janeiro como símbolo da modernidade brasileira tenham contribuído para desencadear investimentos como os de Serrador. A cidade ganhou ares cosmopolitas, atraiu os investidores internacionais e recebeu enorme contingente de imigrantes estabelecendo as bases sociais e mercadológicas para a recepção do modelo industrial do cinema americano, que Serrador trouxe ao Brasil. O trabalho de pesquisa observou as mudanças de significado operadas na Praça Floriano. Após a reforma do prefeito Pereira Passos o local se tornou símbolo nacional da esfera pública republicana e posteriormente após a Primeira Guerra Mundial se tornou um espaço popular. As salas de cinema de Serrador proporcionaram uma experiência social e urbana.

Controle corporativo no Brasil e o papel dos fundos de pensão: um enfoque institucional

Trata da questão do papel dos fundos de pensão no Brasil e no mundo. Analisa a teoria do Controle Corporativo como suporte para um melhor entendimento do papel que os fundos de pensão poderão desempenhar na economia brasileira após a estabilização. A atuação dos fundos pode contribuir para uma maior democratização do capital: o controle dos grupos privados nacionais passa a ser compartilhado entre vários agentes. Isto eleva a produtividade e competitividade da economia, bem como viabiliza financiamentos de longo-prazo, essenciais para o desenvolvimento econômico sustentado.

O papel das tecnologias de informação e comunicação na oferta de serviços financeiros para a população de baixa renda : o caso dos correspondentes bancários do Banco Lemon

Algumas abordagens recentes chamaram a atenção para a importância das empresas mobilizarem sua capacidade produtiva para solucionar problemas das classes menos favorecidas da sociedade. Especificamente para o caso de serviços financeiros, defende-se que a atuação na baixa renda tem implicações positivas na sociedade como um todo, ao promover sua re-inclusão no sistema tradicional. Dentro desse cenário, as iniciativas de microfinanças parecem jogar luz a esse problema ao tentar levar acesso a serviços financeiros para a população de baixa renda. Porém, tais iniciativas ainda parecem não ter demonstrado o seu real potencial, e prova disso é a persistência dos crônicos indicadores de pobreza e de desigualdade social. Isso acontece porque as abordagens atuais de microfinanças apresentam limitações, dentre as quais as tecnológicas são uma das mais importantes. Por outro lado, existe um fenômeno que se manifesta especificamente no Brasil e que se refere ao grande crescimento dos chamados correspondentes bancários (CBs), em que o correspondente, que, na maior parte das vezes, é um varejo, oferta serviços em nome do banco. Alguns estudos relacionam esses dois conceitos, microfinanças e CBs, e propõem o CB como um canal tecnológico para a promoção das microfinanças. Dentro desse cenário, uma pergunta pertinente e ainda pouco explorada na literatura é: como ocorrem a adoção, implementação e uso das tecnologias de correspondentes bancários na oferta de serviços financeiros para a população de baixa renda no Brasil? De posse dessa pergunta de pesquisa, procedeu-se a um estudo de caso em profundidade e o objeto de estudo foi a forma de atuação do Banco Lemon, em especial, por possuir uma extensa rede de CBs, ser baseado exclusivamente em CBs (não tem agências físicas) e estar focado na baixa renda. A partir de uma abordagem que inclui contribuições das escolas do estruturacionismo, do construtuvismo e do contextualismo, foi possível entender como ocorreu o processo de negociação entre dois grupos relevantes, o Banco Lemon e o gestor de redes, que é um intermediário entre o banco e o varejo, na formação da tecnologia que foi adotada, implementada e usada. Os principais achados da pesquisa referem-se ao entendimento de como a tecnologia é usada para prover os serviços que o Banco Lemon quer ofertar e como dois grupos relevantes interagem, negociam e produzem a tecnologia na prática.
