A Teoria de segmentação face à satisfação do consumidor de serviços bancários: um estudo de caso em um banco de varejo

There is a intensity change within financial services industry: deregulation, technology, joint ventures and, in Brazil, privatization, increase of foreign competitors and fall of industry participating from 31 per cent to 5,4 per cent in Brazilian GDP.In this context financial institutions are working very hard to improve their market share, besides promoting customer retention and creating customer loyalty.In this paper we are presenting the scenario of industry in the 90's, opportunity to use segmentation and relationship strategies used by banks through distribution channels.The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between customer satisfaction and segmentation. To ascertain whether such a link exists, a primary study of 3.378 individuals was conducted in two branches at Rio de Janeiro in March 2001. The results suggest that there is little relationship between customer satisfaction and segmentation, besides other qualitative findings.

As percepções dos funcionários sobre as dimensões formais do programa de controle de uma instituição bancária um estudo de caso

Este trabalho foi desenvolvido em uma instituição financeira, com o objetivo de identificar e analisar a percepção dos funcionários das áreas definidas como foco da pesquisa, quanto às dimensões formais do atual programa de controle implementado na instituição, buscando explorar pontos vulneráveis e conflitantes ao aumento da performance das atividades dos funcionários e novas ferramentas, conceitos e frentes de estudos. O trabalho foi elaborado com base nas teorias e conceitos existentes quanto aos controles organizacionais, como as abordagens de Etzioni (1964), Amat e Gomes (2001) e Sturdy, Knights e Willmott (1992). A pesquisa realizada se caracteriza como descritiva, porque visa descrever as percepções, expectativas e os perfis dos funcionários da organização estudada. Os dados primários foram coletados por meio de entrevistas e os dados secundários através de documentos internos da organização. A pesquisa também se refere a um estudo de caso, com corte seccional e, predominantemente, qualitativo, mas com suporte em técnicas quantitativas para a tabulação inicial dos dados que posteriormente foram analisados de forma interpretativa. A conclusão do trabalho foi de que as características do programa de controle da instituição financeira pesquisada, é constituído, predominantemente, de mecanismos pós-burocrático, focado em resultados, de modo hegemônico expandido e do tipo utilitário, com fortes influências alienadoras nos funcionários e com baixo poder de incentivo, no tocante ao aumento do compromisso dos funcionários. Assim, o programa de controle é percebido pelos funcionários como um mecanismo de monitoramento de ações e resultados, desenvolvido apenas para aumentar os lucros da instituição, sem se preocupar com os impactos nos seus aspectos fisicos e emocionais e aumentando, intuitivamente, os níveis de insatisfação interno.

Ensaio sobre o agente racional: esparadrapos para um paciente terminal?

The Rational Agent model have been a foundational basis for theoretical models such as Economics, Management Science, Artificial Intelligence and Game Theory, mainly by the ¿maximization under constraints¿ principle, e.g. the ¿Expected Utility Models¿, among them, the Subjective Expected Utility (SEU) Theory, from Savage, placed as most influence player over theoretical models we¿ve seen nowadays, even though many other developments have been done, indeed also in non-expected utility theories field. Having the ¿full rationality¿ assumption, going for a less idealistic sight ¿bounded rationality¿ of Simon, or for classical anomalies studies, such as the ¿heuristics and bias¿ analysis by Kahneman e Tversky, ¿Prospect Theory¿ also by Kahneman & Tversky, or Thaler¿s Anomalies, and many others, what we can see now is that Rational Agent Model is a ¿Management by Exceptions¿ example, as for each new anomalies¿s presentation, in sequence, a ¿problem solving¿ development is needed. This work is a theoretical essay, which tries to understand: 1) The rational model as a ¿set of exceptions¿; 2) The actual situation unfeasibility, since once an anomalie is identified, we need it¿s specific solution developed, and since the number of anomalies increases every year, making strongly difficult to manage rational model; 3) That behaviors judged as ¿irrationals¿ or deviated, by the Rational Model, are truly not; 4) That¿s the right moment to emerge a Theory including mental processes used in decision making; and 5) The presentation of an alternative model, based on some cognitive and experimental psychology analysis, such as conscious and uncounscious processes, cognition, intuition, analogy-making, abstract roles, and others. Finally, we present conclusions and future research, that claims for deeper studies in this work¿s themes, for mathematical modelling, and studies about a rational analysis and cognitive models possible integration. .

Atitude socialmente responsável ou estratégia comercial: o caso do pacto global

The discussion about corporate obligations toward the various stakeholders began in the postindustrial era and developed to culminate in the creation of rules, regulations, programs and projects focusing on the dissemination and promotion of what we know today as corporate social responsibility (CSR). In this context, satisfying this new demand and adopting social policies emerge as a determining factor in defining organizational strategies. Nevertheless, some questions are raised when we examine the subject, such as: To what extent should organizations intervene in society? Is the decision for the organizations to adopt a socially responsible attitude really linked to promoting social well being, or is it only a commercial strategy? How does social marketing relate to CSR projects? The study herein, based on the concept and understanding of CSR theories, stakeholders and social marketing, has sought to find evidence of this relationship, in the light of the Global Compact (GC). It was decided to use the multi-case study methodology, considering the possibility of explaining the reasons why the decisions were taken, how they were implemented and what was the outcome. Interviews, supported by previously prepared scripts, were held with CSR managers, employees from other areas of the organizations, and specialists on the subject. Complementary research studies were made in various sources, such as the website of companies under analysis, their sustainability reports, and the GC websites in Brazil and the United Nations (UN). The results obtained show that the organizations have worked increasingly with CSR projects, but the efforts have not been focused. Special mention is given to the programs that create major impact on the company¿s image and reputation, such as projects competing for prizes and participating in the formation of rankings or socially responsible organizations. From the view of Carroll¿s Pyramid (1991) for CSR, it is found that the projects are predominantly focusing on ethical and philanthropic issues. The driving power of the GC, action based on learning, dialogue and partnership, is not to be found. This factor contributes to the statement that social marketing tools are used to build an ethical and socially responsible image, in detriment to effective action by the organizations to meet the social requirements of their stakeholders. The social marketing has as an objective to transform the way a specific public sees a social question and promotes behavior changes, but what has been seen is the use of marketing tools exclusively to promote the company's image.

A obtenção de efetividade em organizações em crise: a racionalidade instrumental / estrutural necessárias. Estudo de caso do DETRAN - Departamento de Trânsito do Estado do Rio de Janeiro no Projeto Licenciamento Anual de Veículos Automotores Terrestres com aferição de gases poluentes para a DRV - Diretoria de Registro de Veículos

Análise da regulação contábil: um ensaio à luz da teoria tridimensional do direito, da teoria normativa da contabilidade e do gerenciamento da informação contábil, numa perspectiva interdisciplinar

The choice of accounting standards capable of defining the recognition, measurement and publicizing of financial and economic information to the general public constitutes one of the accounting community¿s greatest challenges. So, the analysis of the Fundamental Principles of Accounting and of the Conceptual Structure of Accounting becomes relevant because of its direct relation to the normative process and because it represents the essence of doctrines and theories relating to the Science of Accounting. Each country¿s set of rules diverges when it comes to creating and evidencing Accounting Statements, and that¿s why the harmonization of the International Accounting Rules is becoming more important among accountants: as an answer to the world qualitative and quantitative demand for information. When managers, answering a great variety of incentives, manipulate or manage the disclosure of accounting information, they show that the management of accounting information begins to represent a purposeful intervention in the process of elaboration of financial and economic statements with the intention of obtaining some private benefit. In this context, Accounting Regulation performs an important function in the technical procedure of professionals in the area and in the development of practices convergent with international standards, which, in their turn, are already in force. The present study, which is exploratory and non-experimental, aims at presenting and analyzing the process of accounting regulation under the perspective of rules and of the choice of accounting practices as an answer by regulated entities on a tridimensional perspective. The establishment of interaction among diverse fields, through interdisciplinarity, aims at bridging the gap between the fields of law and accounting by articulating concepts and cognitive schemes in a process of mutual enrichment. The research concludes that it is possible to apply concepts from Miguel Reale¿s Tridimensional Theory of Law in the study of accounting regulation.

Estrutura organizacional versus desempenho profissional. Estudo de caso de uma autarquia federal

During the 1980¿s and the 1990¿s, the Brazilian federal government started to set up a new public administration policy called ¿managerial¿ conceived of new patterns of efficiency and effectiveness and extremelly concerned about optimizing state administration to grant best results for people. This decision has been taken due to three main reasons; (i) the worst fiscal crisis considering the last decades; (ii) exhaustion on interfering with Brazilian economy due to its opening to globalization, and (iii) extremelly deep-rooted burocratic methods. The Brazilian state reform presented as a diagnosis of the human resource government area: (i) gradual raising costs in payroll, allied to (ii) huge raising inefficiency in public services, and (iii) civil servants are unprepared to improve better responses to currents citizen demands and to adopt new methods of management based on the best professional performance and the best quality of public services. We have concluded that the federal government often tries to make civil servants redundant instead of adopting a real policy of management that would give them better conditions to improve their performance. This paper presents a concrete proposal to improve quality in civil servants performance by taking advantage of information technology and of our assumed country¿s democratization. We suggest that the Brazilian state reform must be and should be a new path of social growth and development not only in economic basis.

A orientação para mercado e a capacidade de resposta das organizações

Este trabalho mostra caminhos para encontrar respostas práticas e objetivas para a aplicação de teorias, conceitos e dogmas, da teoria administrativa no sistema empresarial, com foco claro no binômio empresa e mercado. É a busca de uma relação que traga maior compartilhamento de informações entre estes mundos, procurando um comportamento empresarial que atenda as necessidades de um mercado mutante e em constante alteração. Assim esperamos atenuar o nível de impacto causado pela utilização das teOlias administrativas - consagradas ao sucesso - num universo de mercado que apresenta multiplicidade de aspectos, crescimento de forma desordenada, e no caso brasileiro, uma cultura heterogênea e diversificada. Como resultado final, observou-se que a percepção das empresas pesquisa das, por meio de seus executivos, quanto à Orientação para o Mercado na relação proposta das variáveis analisadas - Capacidade de Resposta - Geração de Inteligência - Disseminação da Inteligência - Orientação para Competidorapresenta uma forte dificuldade de ação em detrimento de uma crescente Geração e disseminação de Inteligência, com preocupações quanto ao Competidor. Outros resultados encontrados no modelo proposto deixam claro que o que os executivos acreditam que suas empresas são mais orientadas para mercado do que realmente ocorre.

Influência dos estilos gerenciais no clima organizacional

O presente estudo se constitui numa tentativa de analisar a questão do uso do poder e da autoridade por aqueles que exercem cargos de chefia e liderança nas empresas, presumindo-se que os executivos, em suas interações com os subordinados, exercem influência no Clima Organizacional, de acordo com seus perfis de estilo gerencial e de liderança.A importância atribuída às pesquisas de Clima Organizacional, de acordo com a metodologia da HayGroup, baseia-se no fato de que ao responder os questionários, os trabalhadores terão voz para manifestar suas críticas formais e dar Feed-Back à organização e às lideranças quanto às condições de trabalho e aspectos motivacionais.Supõe-se que o exercício da liderança é um elemento que influi e constrói o ambiente de trabalho onde as pessoas estão inseridas. Na perspectiva das teorias contnigenciais de liderança, o líder deve aprender a diagnosticar os diferentes cenários, sendo que são os líderes, em conjunto com os subordinados, os agentes que determinam o contexto.Há a expectativa de que um ambiente de trabalho adequadamente construído reduz o hiato entre a racionalidade substantiva ,desejada.Esse tema adquire relevância nessa essa pós-capitalista, quando o homem com seu capital intelectual, se constitui no único agente capaz de diferençar as empresas frente à vertiginosa velocidade das mudanças e as incertezas quanto ao futuro, em suma, à competição global estabelecida.

Qualidade em Ambiente de Burocracia: O caso da Justiça Federal do Estado do Amazonas

The necessity to be efficient and effective has long shifted from the private to the public sector. New philosophies have appeared with the aim to supply better performance in both private and public organisms. One of those theories is Quality. It stresses that people who are part of an organisation must realise that they are customers and suppliers within a workflow. The aim of this study was to identify to what extent quality theory can be found in bureaucratic management. The hypothesis was that, despite of the Federal Justice in Amazonas State ─ JF-AM ─ being a bureaucratic organisation, quality parameters are present in the tasks conduction and practice execution. This study was descriptive and explicative. It was a case with bibliographical and field research. As for the means, this research was limited due to both a reduced bibliographical archive pertaining to the comparison between bureaucratic and quality theories, and the uncertainty about the veracity from the questionnaires answers to be answered by members of the sample organisation, the JF-AM. Another limitation factor was the fact that the sample organisation is under the federal judiciary power which excluded views from a State and municipal orbit and from other areas of public power, such as the legislative and the executive. Therefore it seems interesting to gather from this locus another view of quality, mainly as reforms to the judiciary system are in question, which lent a special meaning to this research. The final conclusion was that quality parameters were found in the bureaucratic sample organisation.

A flexibilização do processo de formulação de estratégias empresarias. O caso da transportadora brasileira Bolivia-Brasil

Com a maIOr interação entre povos, culturas e nações e a conseqüente abertura dos mercados, a concorrência entre as organizações tem aumentado consideravelmente, forçando-as a buscarem diferenciais que lhes garantam a criação e a manutenção de altos níveis de competitividade. A presença de algumas das técnicas de flexibilização do processo formal de formulação de estratégias pode ser um indicativo de maior preocupação das empresas com a instabilidade externa, porém, sem necessariamente, dar à organização o poder de adaptar-se continuamente às possíveis alterações. o presente estudo pretende analisar o caso da Transportadora Brasileira Gasoduto BolíviaBrasil sob o prisma das teorias de Motta, Mintzberg e Grant verificando se o processo de formulação de estratégias da citada organização se caracteriza pela criação de estratégias emergentes ou deliberadas e se demonstra flexibilidade diante do ambiente externo.

A estrutura subcognitiva da visão estratégica : um experimento psicológico sobre a natureza dos Chunks

How strategical decisions are taken? The present work consists of a psychological experiment that it aims to search the knowledge about the subcognitive structure of strategical vision of deeper form, investigating its interaction with the cognitives processes of human beings ¿ perception, memory, and learning. We also argue the nature of chunks (pieces or units), that, in opposition to the current theories, we consider to be provided with essence or meanings in detriment of the appearance or superficial features. In this way, we choose as domain for our experiment the chess game, because its dealing with lesser complexity of the one that decisions in the politics or industry. Thus, we shows the importance that the perception of the abstract roles playing in specific chess position, leading to a strategical vision of this. Moreover, after the experiment, was verified that the expert chess players are capable to perceive distinct positions in the appearance as being similar strategically", while that the beginners had gotten greater difficulty. Finally, we present part of an emergent theory that claims that the human being cognition is nothing more than the abstract perception, as well as the replication of this theory in other domains, for example in the management and the real world."
