Possibilidades da Liderança como Recurso Gerencial para a Transformação nas Organizações: O Caso da Fundação Real Grandeza.

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the contributions that the Fundação Real Grandeza is giving toward the awareness of its managers on the relevance of leadership as a pertinent factor to activate the organization¿s transformation process to face the constant challenges of its mission. Relationships between theory and experience during the construction of this study were strongly based on bibliographic and documental research. The methodology was essentially qualitative in search for a better understanding of the organization in terms of leadership building and practices, through personal contact of the researcher with the people involved. The expected data was gathered through interviews with managers, some senior employees and experts as well as during an especially planned workshop, including one high staff member and a team of managers. Questionaries were also issued to employees, favouring the presentation of quantitative data. The results of this investigation indicate that the organization still presents some characteristics of a conservative culture but, at the present time, it also shows a growing process of self organizational consciousness among its managers in relation to the importance of acting as leaders to face present and future difficulties which are considered inherent to the nature of services that this organization deals with. Transformation is beginning to take place and manifestations of leadership already exist at the moment, although other concrete initiatives are necessary to enable the organization to be better prepared to compete in the emerging scenario of development and expansion of pension funds.

Organizações em Rede

Este trabalho se propõe a analisar o fenômeno das organizações que se articulam em rede com a finalidade de aliar interesses em comum, ou resolver um problema complexo, ou ainda ampliar o raio de alcance de suas ações. Nesse sentido, as organizações que se articulam em rede reconhecem, primeiramente, que não podem alcançar determinados objetivos de forma isolada e necessitam conciliar seus recursos com os de outras organizações, como, por exemplo, financiamentos, informações, conhecimento, ou até mesmo, status, experiência ou legitimidade. Os tipos de rede variam, principalmente, de acordo com o nível de autonomia dos atores que a compõem e com a natureza da relação de interdependência que estabelecem entre si, resultando numa arena permeada por confrontos de opinião, compartilhamento de projetos e um longo processo de construção de relações de confiança. No campo de estudo da administração, as redes correspondem a um novo fenômeno organizacional que traduz a complexidade dos empreendimentos contemporâneos, se utiliza da flexibilidade proporcionada pelas tecnologias de comunicação e incorpora os estilos de gestão que buscam maior participação e compromisso das pessoas envolvidas. Em contraposição ao modelo de organização burocrática, a rede pressupõe uma disposição horizontal dos atores, sejam indivíduos ou instituições, baseada em relações mais simétricas do que hierárquicas, mais cooperativas do que competitivas e mais dinâmicas do que normativas, exigindo novos parâmetros para a coordenação das ações. Esse trabalho busca sistematizar as diferentes perspectivas teóricas, conceitos e idéias relacionados ao tema das redes, com ênfase em modelos de gestão orientados à ação pública, na qual é fundamental conciliar a democratização do processo decisório à efetividade dos empreendimentos, em outras palavras, a racionalidade dialógica é racionalidade instrumental e, nesse sentido, expressam os principais desafios na gestão de redes. No primeiro capítulo se analisa o contexto que propicia a formação das redes, identificando as tendências na gestão de empresas e a reforma na gestão pública, os obstáculos na relação entre estado e sociedade e os desafios da constituição de redes para a superação destes. O capítulo seguinte apresenta o referencial teórico de redes, define os conceitos utilizados no trabalho e discute os aspectos fundamentais da gestão de redes. O último capítulo apresenta a pesquisa empírica, na qual é utilizado o método de estudo de caso, com a finalidade de investigar a dinâmica organizacional e o modelo de gestão de uma rede considerada um caso revelador: o Comitê das Entidades Públicas no Combate à Fome e pela Vida, que atua no Brasil, em âmbito nacional, e atualmente articula mais de 700 organizações.

O controle das relações entre o estado e organizações da sociedade civil: as perspectivas do TCU e do TCE-RJ

This dissertation is an analysis of how is happening in practice, the control of relations between the public sector and civil society organisations (NGOs) after the establishment of the legal framework of the third sector at the end of the decade of 90. This analysis focuses on the prospects of two organisations of the Brazilian government: Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) and Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (TCE-RJ). This study addresses the problem from the description of the historical context in relation to recent changes in the role of the state and public management. We proceed a review of the literature on the new models of public management, detailing the relevant aspects. It was also, briefly, as Brazil is facing these changes, the new legal framework of the third sector and the question of control of the relationship between state and civil society organizations. To evaluate the situation on the control of NGOs is held, initially, a survey of information collected in several audits conducted by TCU and TEC-RJ, as well as interviews with representatives of these organisations to achieve the main issues involving the control of transfers of public resources for these entities in the third sector. The analysis of results suggests that the control of the results expected in the new legal framework of the third sector is not consolidated in practice, and even in relation to traditional bureaucratic control there remain significant gaps that put at risk the correct application of public funds earmarked for NGOs.

Inovação e criatividade nas pequenas e médias empresas

The importance of small and medium enterprises for the economy of a country is fundamental because they have several strategic social and economic roles. Besides contributing to the production of national wealth, they also counterbalance the vulnerabilities of large companies providing the necessary economic balance. Socially their contribution is directly related to the lessening of unemployment, functioning also as source of stability in the community, as a means of reducing inequalities in the distribution of income among regions and economic groups, and contributes, decisively, to limit migration to urbans area. The capacity to innovate is now a key component for the survival and development of small organizations. The future today is increasingly less predictable using past parameters and the business world is more turbulent. The objective of this is to point out the need to revise the models which serve as examples for their adoption of competitive alternatives of development and to offer theoretical-practical knowledge to make possible the implementation of the innovative culture in small enterprises. It emphasizes, moreover, that in the present context, flexibility and skills to work in ambiguous situations and to find creative solutions become central concerns of businessmen and managers.

Mapas de Conhecimento: Em Busca de um Instrumento de Aplicação nas Organizações para Operacionalização da Gestão do Conhecimento

The present work consists on the development and exploration of a knowledge mapping model. It is aimed in presenting and testing that model in an exploratory manner for the operationalization in theoretical terms and its practical application. For this proposal, it approaches ¿knowledge management¿ by three dimensions of management: processes control, results control and leadership. Assuming the inherently personal character of knowledge and admitting the impossibility for the management to command the individuals knowledge mental processes, this study states the possibility for management to control the organizations information processes, to state and to monitor the objectives and to lead people. Therefore, the developed tool searches to graphically represent the people¿s knowledge, which becomes, consequently, information. Also it evaluates the individual¿s maturity against the identified knowledge and prescribes, according to the Situational Leadership Theory, a style of leadership in compliance with the respective maturities. The knowledge map considered here translates the graphical representation of the relevant knowledge that is said to reach the objectives of the organization. That fact allows the results management for two reasons: first, the knowledge items are directly or indirectly connected to an objective and second, the knowledge map developed indicates a importance grade of the identified knowledge for the main objective stated. The research strategy adopted to explore the model of knowledge mapping and to test its applicability, also identifying its possible contributions and limitations, is the Actionresearch. Following the research strategy¿s prescribed stages, the knowledge map, as considered by this study, was applied in a software development company to hospitals, clinics and restaurants management which is called ¿Tergus Systems and Consulting¿. More precisely, the knowledge map was applied in the customer support company¿s area for hospitals. The research¿s empirical evidences had concluded that the model is applicable with low level of complexity, but with great demand of time. The more important contributions are related to the identification of the relevant knowledge to the department objectives in set with a prescription of the knowledge capture and transference necessities, as well as, the orientation for the appropriate leadership style for each subordinate related to the knowledge item in question.

Evidências empíricas das competências profissionais críticas do CIO brasileiro

The primary objective of this work is to obtain a CIO¿s Critical Competencies model which could be applied to Brazilian CIO. This study was conducted by an explanatory research in a quantitative approach. Theoretical studies were done to understand CIO¿s environment, his identity, his career and organizational relationship. The analysis was based on six CIO¿s competencies models which describe how this professional could have a better performance. The intention of this approach was to provide a better understanding about the research problem. Then a meta-model was done as well as a survey. Once applied on Internet, the survey had 111 valid respondents, all Brazilian CIOs. To obtain the final model statistical factorial analysis was applied to the answers. Each identified factor in the model corresponds to a critical competency for Brazilian CIO. The model was submitted to hypotheses tests trying to establish what is the relation between each resultant factor and the time in the role for each respondent as well as his company size. This study has emerged a CIO critical competencies model to the Brazilian CIO, regarding his good performance.

Fábricas de software e a academia: análise da formação acadêmica em informática no município do Rio de Janeiro

As Brazil wants to be perceived as a competitor in providing computer applications and system development services in the global market, the concept of Software Factory gains importance. The metaphor for the 'Factory', when applied to the activity of software development, is used to describe organizations which produce software with a minimum quality standard and at competitive costs. However, the term 'Factory' recalls Fordist concepts, which have been challenged for a few decades in the manufacturing industry. This study analyzed university curricula and how students and teachers perceive the concept of Software Factory and assessed them in relation to the Fordism ------------ post-Fordism /continuum/. It was observed that some of the teachers who have influence over curricula define Software Factories according to Fordist concepts. It was also observed that, despite opportunities for improvements, curricula are adequately structured with regards to the skills a professional at these organizations must possess. We conclude that education provided at the programs being analyzed is adequate, but that it must be supplemented by companies or by the professionals themselves so that the knowledge acquired in the programs may be put in practice.
