o objetivo dessa dissertao conhecer as relaes de poder - fonnais e informais - existentes na Rede Ferroviria Federal S.A., em liquidao (RFFSA) e aquelas que atuam sobre a empresa. Para isso, foi utilizado o Mtodo Etnogrfico, observando-se de forma participante a cultura da empresa, complementando assim o levantamento bibliogrfico sobre o Estado, sobre a burocracia - especialmente o hibridismo das empresas estatais - e sobre as relaes de poder entre esses no Brasil. Concluiu-se que: os funcionrios de uma empresa em liquidao no so facilmente motivados e trabalham contra os objetivos organizacionais, j que se apresenta um conflito de interesses; como o processo de liquidao da RFFSA longo, as relaes de poder infonnais se fortificam com o intuito de que a estratgia organizacional no tenha sucesso; a comunicao entre lideres e liderados no atenua os conflitos entre os objetivos organizacionais e de Recursos Humanos, dado que os empregados manipulam o discurso como forma de resistncia liquidao. De forma mais genrica, recomenda-se a reduo da ingerncia poltico-partidria na burocracia estatal, por meio de uma refonna administrativa que considere o aspecto cultural do servio pblico, podendo se desenvolver a idia de "accountability" entre os servidores.

The present study of case empirically investigates the existence of indicators that suggest the social exclusion preoccupation from the organizations with a strategic management of human resources focus. The objects of study are two subsidiaries of a multinational enterprise in emergency and first-aid services area. One of them is Portuguese and the other is a Brazilian one. This exploratory research has used a sectional way with a longitudinal perspective, since it has considered a specific verified data referring to 2004 and 2005 years, beyond the deeper interviews with actual managers to an evaluation of these studied perception and its authentication. Our indicators identification sources were principally the individual and social rights and duties broaching and the fundamental guarantees disposed in the Brazilian and Portuguese Constitutions as such as the European Constitution project. The results appoint to great differences of management between both subsidiaries, being the Brazilian one closer to our research proposes, as such as suggest us that the human resource areas, still acting in an instrumentalist way, establish a great barrier to better practices in social inclusion and they would be unprepared for a management with the focus in the employees. Although our study has been realized in a specific activity enterprise, we believe that our results can stimulate the realization of other investigations with the same objectives. In this way, we contribute to a better comprehension of the social exclusion causes and the organizations participations in this process.

This dissertation aims at examining empirical evidences obtained in the light of taxonomies and strategies for measuring firms technological capabilities and innovation in the context of developing countries, motivated by the fact that debates and studies directed to innovation has been intensified, for the last thirty years, by the recognition of its vital and growing importance to the technological, economic, competitive and industrial development of firms and countries. Two main tendencies can be identified on this debate. At one side, its the literature related to the developed countries logic, whose companies are, in majority, positioned at the technological frontier, characterized by the domain of innovative advanced capabilities, directed to its sustaining, deepening and renewal. At the other side, there are the perspectives directed to the developing countries reality, where there is a prevalence of companies with deficiency of resources, still in process of accumulating basic and intermediate technological capabilities, with characteristics and technological development trajectories distinct or even reverse from those of developing countries. From this last tradition of studies, the measuring approaches based in C&T indicators and in types and levels of technological capabilities stand out. The first offers a macro level, aggregated perspective, through the analysis of a representative sample of firms, seeking to the generation of internationally comparable data, without addressing the intraorganizational specificities and nuances of the paths of technological accumulation developed by the firms, using, mostly, R&D statistics, patents, individual qualifications, indicators that carry their own limitations. On the other hand, studies that examine types and levels of technological capabilities are scarce, usually directed to a small sample of firms and/or industrial sectors. Therefore, in the light of the focus and potentialities of each of the perspectives, this scenario exposes a lack of studies that examine, in a parallel and complementary way, both types of strategies, seeking to offer more realistic, consistent and concrete information about the technological reality of developing countries. In order to close this gap, this dissertation examines (i) strategies of innovation measurement in the contexts of developing countries based on traditional approaches and C&T indicators, represented by four innovation surveys - ECIB, PINTEC, PAEP and EAI, and, (ii) from the perspective of technological capabilities as an intrinsic resource of the firm, the development of which occurs in a cumulative way and based on learning, presents and extracts generalizations of empirical applications of a metric that identifies types and levels of technological capabilities, through a dynamic and intra-firm perspective. The exam of the empirical evidences of the two approaches showed what each one of the metrics are capable to offer and the way they can contribute to the generation of information that reflect the technological development of specific industrial sectors in developing countries. In spite of the fact that the focus, objective, perspective, inclusion, scope and lens used are substantially distinct, generating, on a side, an aggregated view, and of other, an intra-sector, intra-organizational and specific view, the results suggest that the use of one doesn't implicate discarding or abdicating the other. On the contrary, using both in a complementary way means the generation of more complete, rich and relevant evidences and analysis that offer a realistic notion of the industrial development and contribute in a more direct way to the design of corporate strategies and government policies, including those directed to the macro level aspects just as those more specific and focused, designed to increment and foment firms in-house innovative efforts.

Pesquisas recentes nos campos das Finanas e de Economia Industrial vem mostrando que as decises de financiamento corporativo so interdependentes de decises relativas ao mercado de produtos. As teorias apresentadas apiam-se na responsabilidade limitada dos detentores do capital prprio para construir modelos nos quais a dvida utilizada estrategicamente. Altos nveis de endividamento tendem a favorecer o acirramento da concorrncia e a produzir resultados piores do que numa situao de conluio, provocando a adoo de mecanismos de limitao da alavancagem e da concorrncia pelo oligoplio. Evidncias indicam que firmas alavancadas suavizam a concorrncia enquanto firmas menos ou no alavancadas tornam a concorrncia mais acirrada ante a presena de um rival mais alavancado. Dados de corte seccional das firmas participantes do mercado brasileiro de aos planos ao carbono foram tratados pelo mtodo economtrico para verificar o comportamento da varivel de endividamento tendo como variveis explicativas de interesse os preos praticados e as quantidades vendidas pelas firmas e, como variveis de controle, algumas dentre aquelas sugeridas pela teoria da estrutura de capital. Os resultados mostram evidncias de que a varivel de concorrncia "preo" influencia as decises de estrutura de capital das firmas siderrgicas produtoras de aos planos e que a correlao com a alavancagem positiva. No entanto, nenhuma concluso pde ser obtida sobre a varivel quantidade. Clculos adicionais produziram resultados que so indicativos de iniciativas de aumento de concorrncia pelas firmas mais alavancadas da indstria, como reduo de preo, aumento de lucratividade e maior participao de mercado, sugerindo que as circunstncias de expanso de demanda favorecem a ruptura do conluio.

The aim of this research was to detect how strategy changes took place in a successful organization. This was an unique case study focused on O BOTICRIO, a cosmetic and perfumery company in the state of Paran, Brazil. Some information (from primary data) was obtained through interviewing members of the retail development department. Extra information was taken from articles about the company and interviews with members of the board of directors published in newspapers and magazines. The analysis was carried out in an explanatory-descriptive way, with a qualitative approach. The data, other than serving to characterize the company, was used for a number of purposes. They were: to introduce information about strategy changes in the company; to identify factors that gave rise to these changes; to identify the effects of these changes on the organization; to classify the strategy changes. The data revealed that the company is highly receptive to changes. Amongst the factors that caused strategy changes the following two factors stand out: the flexibility that the company presents in adapting to environmental variations and, overall, the interdependency that exists between changes. Confirming the systemic character of organizations, it was found that the changes lead to new changes. When qualifying the strategy changes, it was discovered that the incremental changes were more related to process evolution, i.e., comprehending transformations directly related to the activities to which the changes are associated with. The discontinuous changes, on the contrary, involved transformations throughout the whole company. Of all the changes that were analyzed only two were considered to be truly strategy revolutions. This confirms the idea that organizations usually choose to search for established strategic paths. The strategy changes analyzed produced a resistance level. This resistance was directly proportional to the level of discontinuance that the change had. It was verified, however, that all changes were considered beneficial to the company. The study concludes that other factors are also responsible for the fast expansion of the company. The most important of these are: the constant lauching of new products; the identification of the company with environmental issues; the policy towards employees; the strong marketing strategy; the quality of its products; the excellence on its services; the treatment of consumers; the use of franchise shops; the training provided to all the franchise network and as well as to the employees; and the seek to hire the best professionals to supervise its services. However, it cant be omitted that particular cause of O BOTICRIOs success is the intuition and the feeling of its President.

o estudo tem como principal foco apresentar uma referncia de anlise do comportamento individual dos empregados dos bancos de varejo diante da necessidade de adequao estratgia utilizada para enfrentar o atual mercado competitivo. Mostra a importncia da anlise da dimenso simblica para as organizaes, os negcios e as relaes entre os atores no contexto empresarial. Demonstra as principais mudanas recentes no Sistema Financeiro Nacional, que tem levado as organizaes a inseridas a buscar formas de adaptaes, entre elas rever seus processos de gesto e de programas de treinamento e desenvolvimento de pessoas. Traa o perfil atual do Banco BRC SIA, fazendo um breve histrico e abordando os recursos humanos, a informatizao, o projeto de saneamento fmanceiro e o desempenho operacional dos ltimos anos. Conclui que as caractersticas culturais do Banco BRC SI A, em sua maIOrIa, reduzem a sua capacidade de adequar-se forma de atuao dos bancos privados. Existem poucos traos culturais que favorecem a adaptabilidade do banco, entre os quais podemos citar o compromisso, a dedicao e a lealdade do pessoal ao banco (que j foram maiores no passado). Outros fatores tambm contribuem para dificultar a sua adaptabilidade, tais como o paternalismo, o formalismo, a impunidade, a postura de expectador, entre outras, caractersticas estas comuns s empresas brasileiras, conforme veremos no primeiro captulo. Com relao a isto, ser necessria uma forte dose de persistncia e desejo de quebrar a inrcia da organizao, bem como uma constncia de propsitos, para que as transformaes aconteam e o banco consiga se adaptar ao mercado. No caso, este deve ser o papel da liderana: ser persistente, perspicaz e flexvel o suficiente para chamar o processo a si e conduzi-lo de forma eficaz. Ainda, contatou-se que existem resistncias e dificuldades para a viabilizao das transformaes necessrias para que o banco atue como um banco privado. Algumas resistncias so comuns e outras so especficas e prprias de cada situao observada.
