Este estudo investigou, na Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD), como os funcionários perceberam as mudanças ocorridas na empresa, as ações da alta administração e o que ocorreu com os valores na organização após o processo de privatização. O objetivo final da pesquisa foi verificar que valores norteiam as propostas administrativas da Vale após a privatização, e como se manifestam nas ações e na postura dos agentes na sede da empresa. O referencial teórico incluiu mudança organizacional, teoria dos valores e responsabilidade das ações administrativas, para compreender o contexto atual da empresa após a privatização. A pesquisa de campo foi concebida sob o paradigma do construtivismo, em busca de percepções e sentimentos subjacentes e manifestos em entrevistas e questionários a fim de explicitar os valores passados e presentes na organização e possibilidades de uma nova realidade. Uma abordagem fenomenológica complementar favoreceu a inserção da autora no mundo da vida dessa organização, facilitando a fluência do diálogo para a apreensão de manifestações e implicações dos valores das pessoas no processo de transição. As reflexões finais indicam a necessidade de um trabalho organizacional que envolva funcionários e alta administração com o propósito comum de redescoberta do significado próprio da organização. O Programa Vale Viver surge como uma tentativa nessa direção. Os valores "vestir a camisa", "valorizar a prata da casa" e "vencer desafios" acompanham o tempo de vida da cultura da Vale. O valor "vestir a camisa," cujo significado é compartilhamento autêntico, na atualidade é mais uma expectativa a ser retomada do que uma vivência. O valor "vencer desafios" está mais presente na área operacional e o valor "valorizar a prata da casa" aparece mais relacionado a programas como o Banco de OpOliunidades, reavivado pelo Vale Viver. Não significa que o Vale Viver seja a única saída para a retomada da confiança, da elevação da auto-estima e de uma articulação empregados e nova administração na construção de uma base comum de valores, mas é a possibilidade mais visível no momento em que a retomada do espírito da V ALE é fundamental para essa nova etapa de sua vida.

This research has a practice-oriented focus on the concept of Organizational Learning. The basic approach is a learning organization perspective, and some references to the concepts and concerns of organizational learning were included whenever necessary and proper. Organizational Learning is researched mainly from a management techniques and strategy point of view, with a smaller emphasis on the innovation and accumulation of technological capabilities and theoretical research points of view. A broad approach has been used, based mainly on the study of a successful case using action research in a private telecommunication company operating nationwide in Brazil. This study involved a small group, as it is common with pilot groups for learning organizations. The main purpose of this research is to provide a broad and updated survey about the idea of Organizational Learning. Results presented in the related literature are compared with findings from the field, and that literature is cited throughout the text. The interactions of Organizational Learning with the Brazilian context and with the public administration context are analyzed; important data, ranging from the historical origins and bases of the concept, to details of the activities in a real life learning organization, are shown. Some essential aspects, that should be considered or used when applying this type of management, are analyzed. The action research has shown a close proximity between Organizational Learning and a phenomenological perspective, servant leadership, and managerial model, respectively in the fields of philosophical approach, leadership, and management models.

This dissertation adds new evidences and explanations to two distinct streams of debate. The first one refers to the globalisation (or dissemination) of technological innovative capabilities in the context of newly industrialised economies. The second one refers to common generalisations about the deterioration of the innovative capabilities in Latin American countries after 1990. This study was motivated by a lack of empirical studies focused on the relationship between the globalisation of innovative capabilities and sources to build them up in emerging organisations, especially R&D institutes. This dissertation is focused on the globalisation of innovative capabilities at the information and communication technology industry in Brazil. The globalisation of innovative capabilities is measured by the technological capabilities types and levels of 18 national R&D institutes related to this industry. Besides, this dissertation examines sources to build up innovative capabilities in the sampled institutes, namely: their intra-organisational learning processes and the linkages established with firms and the technological infra-structure. The study is based on first-hand empirical evidences, collected by different data-gathering sources in an extensive fieldwork. The data were examined with analytical frameworks, organised in the light of the theoretical basis of the study. The study has found the dissemination of innovative capabilities has been occurring in the Brazilian ICT industry with the involvement of the technological infra-structure with innovative activities. Besides that, the variety of the intra-organisational learning processes and the types of linkages established with technological infra-structure and firms have been influencing the development of innovative capabilities. The evidences that emerge from this study contradict common generalizations and arguments about the inexistence of innovative activities and about the technological infra-structure weakness in emerging or newly industrialized economies.

The organization climate research is a widely used human resources tool grounded on the managerial discourse that preaches that listening to employees's opinions is relevant for the identification of corporate aspects that demand improvement. This study aims at desmistifying this discourse by means of analytical tools from the Critical Administration Studies, namely: denaturalized view of administration, detachment between intentions and performance and search for emancipation. The study is grounded on the assumption that the organizational climate research derives from functionalist theory, which benefits a dominating class, in name of productivity and for the maintenance of the status quo, therefore contributing for individual alienation at work. The study was designed to identify elements that show the relation between an organizational climate research tool and the social control over individuals in an organization - here the research conducted in 2005 by Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S/A - Eletrobrás, the Brazilian power sector holding company. The theoretical section presents an overview of corporate paradigms relevant for a sound understanding of the organizational climate concept. Data analysis was conducted by means of the post-modern method of binary deconstruction: the questions contained in the tool's questionnaire were grouped into categories and then analyzed in terms of the fallowing conceptual pairs: well-being/productivity, autonomy/control, ethics/ competitiveness and participation/alienation. The analysis showed that the organization climate research tool is used as a resource for social control and power, because it contributes to individual alienation as it satisfies some specific individual demands, therefore preventing the individual form a thorough understanding of how the system works. Besides, the helps anticipate, mitigate and conceal the conflicts arising from the opposing interests of capital and labor.

REPETRO, the special tax regime for importing and exporting goods for the exploration and drilling of oil and gas, aims at bringing foreign assets to Brazil enjoying a suspension or even an exemption of taxes, so that Brazilian industry may profit from about 8 billion American dollars in investments. The creation of normative devices as well as the management of the REPETRO model are under the exclusive responsibility of the Brazilian Internal Revenue Services. REPETRO was created in 1999 and is composed of the following customs treatments: importation of goods with suspension of taxes by use of the drawback special regime, suspension mode for national exporting industry; exportation with fictitious exit for the national industry; temporary admission of goods or assets used in oil exploration and production, attending to the needs of both the national and foreign market. Considering the inability of the Brazilian government in restructuring its foreign trade model so that a strong investment in technology could provide for the sector¿s needs, we must ask how we can change REPETRO to help the various companies in the oil business? The issue is very important for one of our main economic activities, though not enough studied. The energy sector has a strategic importance for the development and the economic independence of any country. The winds of globalization lead Brazil to open its economy in the last decade and the national policy for exploration and drilling (E&D) was altered. The government created a new agency dedicated to market control and energy policies, the National Agency for Oil and Biofuels (ANP). With the opening of the market, Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras, the Brazilian giant, lost the monopoly of the oil business. The P-50 Platform, with a capacity for 180,000 barrels per day, was imported based on REPETRO. When it began operating on April 21st, 2006, Brazil achieved self-sufficiency in oil production. The present work intends to estimate the main variables affecting the importation and exportation of goods and assets for E&D, showing how REPETRO works. We also intend to look at the results yielded by the REPETRO model for the development of the production of oil and gas in Brazil, as well as show proposals for its modernization. It has been established that even though since its implementation the REPETRO model has brought fiscal advantages through the reduction of tax costs relating to foreign commerce operations and the incentive of investments in the E&D area with the increase in the national oil production there remain the following limitations: lack of preparation and of knowledge of the model; lack of adjustement of the model to the reality of actitity of E&D of oil and gas; taxes over the pre-operational stage or investment in oil production stage; non-allowance of full access by the national industry to the supply of goods and products relating to the industrialization of goods allowed by REPETRO; other fiscal and administrative difficulties. We conclude that the REPETRO model is important for the development of the area of E&D of oil and gas, but not completely effective. It is necessary to change it or create a new model based on a new perspective of the customs treatment of the activities of exploration and production, minimizing administrative procedures relating to the operations of exportation and importation.

Programas de Fundos Competitivos para financiamento da pesquisa agrícola há muito estão sendo implementados nos países desenvolvidos. Entretanto, somente a partir da década de 1990 a adoção desse mecanismo se intensificou nos países em desenvolvimento, especialmente na América Latina. Isso ocorreu em razão da redução dos recursos do governo federal para a pesquisa agrícola, o que levou as instituições de pesquisa a buscar fontes alternativas para o financiamento de sua programação. A partir desse cenário, o presente trabalho analisa e discute a importância dos Fundos Competitivos como alternativa criativa e inovadora na captação de recursos para o financiamento da pesquisa agrícola no Brasil. A análise é feita a partir de estudo teórico sobre esse mecanismo de financiamento e com base em um estudo de caso do Sistema Competitivo do PRODETAB, implementado e coordenado pela Embrapa. O objetivo foi o de avaliar a importância e a contribuição dos fundos competitivos para o aumento da eficiência na alocação dos recursos públicos para a pesquisa agrícola e para a melhoria da qualidade dos projetos de pesquisa e desenvolvimento

The Brazilian insurance market is the ambience in which this research study takes place in search for a better understanding of how cultural characteristics are related with organizational signs, practices and expectations on social responsibility. The concepts of social responsibility as well as the concept of culture are presented and discussed from different points of view, in accordance with different authors and trough several methodological approaches, in order to establish a coherent theoretical basis for qualitative data analysis. The phenomenological attitude assumed by the researcher in especial dialogues situations during the field research phase added new possibilities of apprehension or emergence of each studied organization self orientation in terms of pre-occupation with social issues intimately related with their insurance activities in the market place. Final reflections show the complexity of the insurance cultural context in the studied Brazilian segment, in which cultural and subcultural national and organizational singularities appear. However leaving space for common values and coherent orientation toward the peculiar understanding of social responsibility as inherent to any insurance company activities, themselves. Last comments point out that future research studies may give additional contribution for the continuity of the discussions initiated in this dissertation, expecting that some changes in the organizational posture and practices may happen, especially those related with risk taking and broad processes of communication with clients and society as a whole.

A presente dissertação tem como objetivo central propor a criação do Centro de Pesquisa e Documentação de História Oral e Ciencias Sociais na cidade da Beira, em Moçambique. Pretende-se, com o Centro, promover projetos que possibilitem a constituição de acervos de caráter histórico e documental, contribuindo, assim, para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa acadêmica e para a valorização da história e da cultura Moçambicanas. O Centro terá como principal ferramenta metodológica de pesquisa a história oral. O acervo a ser constituído no contexto de distintos projetos resultará, portanto, de entrevistas gravadas com atores de diferentes extratos sociais, todos eles participantes diretos de eventos relevantes da história recente de Moçambique. Essas entrevistas deverão estar disponíveis, no Centro, juntamente com outros tipos de fontes, coletadas e organizadas com o objetivo de constituir um centro de referência sobre a história contemporanea do país. Toda a atividade do Centro será acompanhada de projetos de qualificação de equipes. Neste sentido, o Centro terá de lidar com dois importantes campos: a pesquisa, produção, preservação e difusão de fontes para a história contemporânea; e o apoio didático-pedagógico aos diversos níveis do processo de aprendizagem.

O propósito desta tese foi contribuir para os estudos sobre o tema Valor Percebido, sob a ótica do Marketing de Relacionamento, enfocando a pesquisa na relação entre as instituições de ensino superior privadas e seus alunos. A coleta de dados foi realizada com alunos de instituições de ensino superior privadas do Rio Grande do Sul matriculados em cursos de graduação em Administração, sendo dividida em três etapas. Na primeira etapa foi realizada consulta qualitativa e exploratória, com dez estudantes, através de entrevistas em profundidade. Em seguida foram coletados questionários quantitativos de 133 respondentes, para validação e purificação das escalas de mensuração. Na terceira etapa foram coletados 569 questionários, que permitiram o teste de modelos estruturais que relacionam os temas de interesse desta tese, a saber: Valor Percebido, Satisfação, Satisfação com o Relacionamento e Lealdade. A fundamentação teórica apresenta a discussão sobre estes temas, bem como um modelo conceitual de integração entre eles e treze hipóteses de pesquisa que verificam as relações causais entre os construtos. Através da técnica de Modelagem de Equações Estruturais, as hipóteses são testadas e um modelo estrutural, com índices de ajuste adequados, é proposto. As relações entre construtos estabelecidas no modelo proposto atestam que os preditores de Valor Percebido são a Qualidade Percebida, Preço Comportamental, Preço Monetário, Reputação e Resposta Emocional. Destes, o que apresentou maior influência no Valor Percebido foi o Preço Monetário, seguido da Reputação, indicando a importância da preocupação com a imagem e status da instituição de ensino superior. O Valor Percebido demonstrou grande influência sobre a Satisfação. Outro antecedente da Satisfação foi a Satisfação com o Relacionamento, ressaltando a efetividade das ações de Marketing de Relacionamento em empresas prestadoras de serviços de natureza contínua, em especial no setor educacional. Os antecedentes da Lealdade apontados no modelo são a Satisfação, o Valor Percebido e a Satisfação com o Relacionamento, os dois últimos com influência mais acentuada do que a Satisfação. Desta forma, destaca-se a relevância de gerar valor para os clientes, bem como estabelecer com eles vínculos relacionais satisfatórios. Por fim, são dadas sugestões de novas pesquisas.
