O presente estudo analisa a o impacto das restrições macroeconômicas, que emergiram no bojo da crise cambial de 1999, sobre a contratação de empréstimos externos pelo governo brasileiro junto às agências multilaterais de crédito, entre 1995-2004. A idéia básica é que a estratégia de equacionamento da crise externa teve reflexos diretos sobre o comportamento dos empréstimos contratados junto aos Multilateral Development Banks. Mais especificamente, o conjunto de políticas adotadas pelo governo brasileiro acabou promovendo tanto uma mudança na natureza como uma substancial redução na contratação de empréstimos principalmente junto ao Banco Mundial e ao Banco Inter americano de Desenvolvimento. Em decorrência, a estratégia de ajuste adotada, apesar do seu mérito, acabou privando o governo brasileiro de uma fonte barata de recursos e comprometendo o investimento do setor público.

The phonographic market has experienced a period of significant change caused by technological evolution. This phenomenon of global proportions has been the subject of considerable debate in the media and in academia. The entry of new actors, as well as piracy and new forms of commercialization of musical products, has significantly altered the relationships of power existing in this field. Therefore, the scope of this article is to analyze the phonographic industry in Brazil as an arena of forces and power struggles, based on notions of the field of cultural production, from the perspective of Bourdieu. This study constitutes a qualitative research and data was analyzed using a descriptiveinterpretative approach. In the case of the sector under scrutiny, and on the basis of the theoretical reference material, it would appear to be correct to affirm that economic capital is what is being sought on the part of the actors who comprise the field. Nevertheless, it is important to stress that the critical incidents that brought about the changes in the structure of the field over the course of time were predominantly of a technological nature. The field of the Brazilian phonographic market is currently experiencing a period of structural alteration that was especially affected by the development of MP3 technology and the emergence of virtual piracy. The fact is that formerly the major recording companies dominated the market and had the necessary resources of power to exercise their role as dominant actors and maintain this position. However, the aforementioned factors favored the entry of new actors in the field and the empowerment of those that prior to this time did not have the resources to compete against this domination.

An accident with Brazilian Satellite Launching Vehicle (SLV-1 V03) third prototype in August, 2003 at Alcântara Base, in the State of Maranhão, dramatically exposed accumulated deficiencies affecting Brazilian space sector. A report regarding this accident published by Ministry of Defense recognized the relevance of organizational dimension for the success of Brazilian space policy. In this case study, the author analyses sector organizational structure - the National Space Activities Development System (NSADS) - to evaluate its adequacy to policy development requisites. The Theory of Structural Contingency - TSC provided the analytical framework adopted in the research complemented by two organizational approaches that focuses high risk systems: Normal Accident Theory - NAT and High Reliability Theory - HRT. The last two approaches supported the analysis of NSADS's organizations which are, according to Charles Perrow definition, directly involved in developing high risk technological systems and their relationship with the System. The case study was supplemented with a brief comparison between NSADS and the organizational structures of North-American and French civilian space agencies, respectively, NASA and CNES, in order to subsidize organizational modeling of Brazilian System.

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.

Na presente dissertação procura-se medir os impactos dos programas de ajuste macroeconômicos acordados entre o Brasil e o FMI no período 1990-2001. Após uma breve exposição sobre o histórico da dívida, discute-se o sigilo das operações com o Fundo ao mesmo tempo em que é verificado se o Brasil cumpriu ou não as metas acordadas. Procede-se, por fim, à análise de impactos com a utilização do modelo de contas nacionais. Tendo em vista não se dispor de documentos relativos ao período 1990-1998, a construção de séries históricas visando a um tratamento estatístico adequado fica comprometida. Assim, tal análise é empírica, calcada em tabelas e gráficos construídos a partir dos dados disponibilizados pelo governo brasileiro e pelo FMI.

The objective of this study was to identify the real organizational status of major law firms in Brazil compared to fordism and post-fordism organizational economic paradigms. In order to fulfill the objectives, an exploratory-explanatory research was carried out through case studies. The two major Brazilian law firms, according the study developed by the newspaper Gazeta Mercantil (PANORAMA SETORIAL ¿ ESCRITÓRIOS DE ADVOCACIA, 2002), Pinheiro Neto Advogados (PN) and Tozzini, Freire, Teixeira e Silva Advogados (TFTS), were researched. The case study was based on multiple evidence analysis: semi-structured interviews, documents and records analysis, and direct observations. The report of the research was structured by presenting a detailed introduction about lawyer and the law firms, including their historics main characteristics and factors which lead up to the constitution of these firms, showing the relationship among information technologies, globalizations and the need of strategic recontextualization of law firms. The data collected showed how these aspects presented in the studied unities. It was concluded through this research that PN and TFTS present an organizational development compatible to what is frequently practised in the organizations as far as contemporary organizational techniques and tools are concerned; neither fordism nor the transitional process to post-fordism, intensified the division of work of the lawyer; the new information technologies are essential for the maintenance of the sustained competitive advantage within the post-fordism scenario.

presente trabalho objetiva construir um Modelo Exploratório de desenvolvimento de tecnologia da informação, aplicável no Brasil, tendo como referência as formas de organização do trabalho e da produção das comunidades Linux. O Modelo deve ser aplicado em ambiente Internet, ou em outras redes de telecomunicação. Por essa razão, utiliza métodos e técnicas de aprendizado à distância e e-Iearning. A construção do Modelo apoia-se, como alicerce teórico fundamental, no conceito de convivialidade de Illich (1976), no entendimento de Inose e Pierce (1984) sobre comunidades de interesse e democratização da produção de software, nos estudos de Malone (1997, 1998) referentes a modelos de organização em rede, nos estudos de Weber (2000) sobre comunidades de interesse online, na metodologia de capacitação "Pensamento Digital" de Joia (1999-1, 1999-2) e na estratégia pedagógico-metodológica do Australian National Training Authority (T AFE/SA). No entanto, as pesquisas de Matesco (2000, 2001) tomaram exeqüível a idéia da construção do Modelo, tendo que vista que o Modelo Exploratório proposto aplica-se, preferencialmente, a países, regiões, empresas ou organizações dependentes tecnologicamente de seus parceiros negociais e com escassez de recursos para aplicar em pesquisa e desenvolvimento. O caminho metodológico para a construção do Modelo inicia-se com uma sucinta abordagem sobre o sistema operacional Linux, a descrição das formas de organização das comunidades Linux e a identificação das formas de organização do trabalho e da produção no Fordismo-Taylorismo e no pós-Fordismo. Situa o funcionamento das comunidades Linux em relação a essas formas de organização. Descreve o processo de formação do conhecimento no aprendizado à distância e no elearning. Aborda a experiência de outros países com o Linux e com as comunidades Linux. Principalmente, o sucesso obtido pelos países nórdicos em absorção de tecnologia. A seguir, fundamentando-se em duas pesquisas de Matesco (2000,2001), analisa a dependência tecnológica do Brasil e propõe o Modelo Exploratório, cujo objetivo é, prioritariamente, colaborar para a redução dessa dependência, por meio de um processo de formação de conhecimento, baseado no aprendizado à distância e e-Iearning do Linux e na propagação de comunidades Linux, empregando-se o modelo de organização em rede.

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.

The scenario, in which the Brazilian food industry is inserted, aims at the need of an organizational concept review leading to great changes in order to be truly prepared to compete in an insipient growth environment, with attentive consumers and strong buyers. Parmalat-Brazil is restructuring itself in a project called Internal Efficiency Project, so as to compete in this environment. The aim of this work is to define the planning of Parmalat's Salesmen Training in order to guarantee the suitability of these resources to the new format of the business in Brazil, aligned with this project. By understanding the identity of the organization, competences necessary to the execution of the salesman function were defined, and a research and study was done to comprehend the competence level, which exists in this team. A training plan was proposed to cover the lacuna between the necessary competences and the existing ones.

Esta dissertação estuda as implicações dos processos de aprendizagem para acumulação de competências tecnológicas no nível de firmas. Este relacionamento foi examinado nas Centrais Elétricas do Norte do Brasil S.A. - Eletronorte, ao longo dos anos de 1990 a 2003. A empresa tem sua sede administrativa em Brasília e a sua área de atuação é caracterizada pela Amazônia Legal (Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima e Tocantins). A Eletronorte é uma empresa concessionária de geração e transmissão de energia elétrica, contudo, o presente trabalho enfocou apenas as atividades de transmissão, quer dizer, a geração está fora do escopo do estudo. A acumulação de competências tecnológicas para adaptar, modificar ou criar novas tecnologias é essencial para a sobrevivência e o desempenho competitivo das empresas. Para descrever o modo e a velocidade de acumulação de competências tecnológicas na Eletronorte, foram utilizadas estruturas analíticas existentes na literatura. Entretanto, tais estruturas foram adaptadas especificamente para a indústria de transmissão de energia elétrica. A acumulação de competências foi estudada para três funções tecnológicas: "engenharia, projetos e equipamento"; "operação e manutenção"; "processos operacionais". Os processos de aprendizagem foram examinados à luz de quatro características-chave: variedade, intensidade, funcionamento e interação. Durante o período de 1990 e 2003, a empresa construiu e acumulou diferentes níveis de competências tecnológicas nas funções estudadas. Com base nas evidências empíricas, verificou-se que a partir de 1995, quando a empresa passou a coordenar sistematicamente esforços para adquirir e converter conhecimentos do nível individual para o nível organizacional, a construção de capacitação tecnológica foi acelerada. Contudo, a partir do ano de 2000, em que foram diminuídos investimentos no setor elétrico brasileiro, o processo de capacitação tecnológica permaneceu estagnado. Assim, aliando-se a estudos anteriores realizados para outros tipos de indústria, a conclusão deste estudo sugere que o modo e a velocidade com que a firma acumulou capacitação tecnológica podem ser explicados pelos processos de aprendizagem (aquisição interna e externa, socialização e codificação do conhecimento) e pelas características-chave de como esses foram utilizados ao longo do tempo (variedade, intensidade, funcionamento e interação).

O acelerado processo de urbanização no Brasil causou a concentração da população nas cidades, principalmente nas maiores cidades. O Estatuto da Cidade estabeleceu um conjunto de regras para a ordenação do uso do solo urbano em favor do bem estar coletivo. O Plano Diretor , entretanto é o instrumento que dá efetividade àquelas regras e é elaborado pelo governo e a sociedade, garantindo sua participação conjunta na criação, implementação e avaliação das políticas urbanas O plano tornou-se um poderoso instrumento a favor dos interesses sociais incluindo a identificação de demandas e linhas de ação previamente definidas por um consenso entre a sociedade e o estado, a serem incluídas naquele plano e no plano plurianual, tendo o orçamento anual como garantia de sua execução. No entanto, qual será o melhor tipo de orçamento para assegurar a execução do que foi incluído no plano diretor? A resposta a essa questão é o foco deste estudo que comprova que o melhor tipo é o orçamento-programa construído com a participação da sociedade e do governo, através do consenso, o orçamento participativo
