Municipal government policies supporting recycling cooperatives at the start of the 1990s and in the first years of the current century have contributed to resemanticizing trash rather than improving the living conditions of the street scavengers in the city of Rio de Janeiro. This idea was based on multiple case studies conducted in three post-consumption recycling cooperatives which have resulted from such policies. Interviews were held with three municipal government managers and 66 scavengers between 2002 and 2004, during a period of field observation that varied from two to six months in each case. Following a Foucaultian analysis approach, in this thesis post-consumption trash is considered as a discursive production. For this reason, the discourses have been analyzed (through an archaeology and a genealogy) that animated this object as a target condition of public policies. Thus, problematization of the trash has been proposed ¿ characterized by the concomitance of discourses related to an environmental and economic issue surrounding it, which would have impacted the scavengers' work. This proposal made it possible to consider the conditions that enable the scavengers to participate in this discursive production concerning trash. Problematization means the social enhancement of trash (its resemantization as recyclable) and the government policies were an attempt to make the scavengers adapt to this conjuncture. The conditions have been investigated that enable the scavengers to participate in the construction process of the discourse concerning trash (preparation of the strategies), in consonance with public policies. According to the three organizations observed, the public managers assumed that it would be possible for the scavengers to participate in the rules of discourse on trash, when they achieved economy of scale and when they sold to middlemen. Through the findings of the studies, however, it has been concluded that the ways in which these three organizations were managed enabled the scavengers to accede to the rules of discourse regarding problematized trash only when they could control the strategies that allow them to attend what is set by such rules.

Esta dissertação apresente o conceito Organização de Aprendizagem e propostas paradigmáticas inovadoras para administração. Dentre eles, o Paradigma Paraeconômico idealizado por guerreiro Ramos, o Paradigma Consciencial de Waldo Vieira e os Paradigmas sociais de Burrel e Morgan. O objetivo é por meio do estudo de caso de uma organização sem fins lucrativos, dedicada à Pesquisa do Fenômeno da Consciência, o IIPC, entender o pré-sistema, Organização de aprendizagem e estudar novos paradigmas para gestão com pessoas, no contexto atual. Além disso, se busca também, classificar o Instituto Internacional de Projeciologia e Conscienciologia como ajustado ou não ao pré-sistema de Peter Senge, dentro da realidade de empresas de Terceiro Setor. Por fim, se conclui que o modelo Conscienciocêntrico, originário do Paradigma Consciencial, se aproxima bastante do modelo de Senge, baseado nas cinco disciplinas, indo além no que diz respeito ao autoconhecimento e cultura organizacional fomentadora da reciclagem e aprendizagem.

The objective of this study is to discuss and analyze the structure of the organizational field of recycling of aluminum cans in Rio de Janeiro state, using as reference the institutional theory. The recycling of aluminum cans field, despite its early history, has presented important modifications, with impacts in others recycle material industries. The present study aims to understand such modifications through the analysis of the organizational field. With this intention, it is used a theoretical basis to define the institutionalization concept, focusing on the differences of functional organization theory, as well to define the legitimacy concept and isomorphism. As a contribution to institutional studies, and as reference to this research, it is analyzed some organizational field studies published in Brazil, comparing them with others from Europe and America, as well as a discussion about the applicability of institutional studies. The structure and analysis presented here were elaborated through a survey, based on semi-structured interviews with representatives of organizations of the organizational field. This study is sectional with longitudinal perspective, including a qualitative analysis, in order to get information regarding the past that can contribute to explain the current structure of the organizational field. There is a perception that border actors, represented in this work by recyclers cooperatives, on the contrary of other studies, intend do change the structure of the organizational field by the mean of social pressures.

Equacionar aquecimento global, escassez de alimentos e a crescente necessidade energética, tornou-se, atualmente, o grande desafio mundial. Existem diversas culturas agrícolas que podem ser exploradas de maneira estratégica e assim colaborar com a solução deste problema. Dentre elas, pode-se destacar a cultura do girassol (Helianthus Annuus). O girassol é uma das quatro maiores culturas oleaginosas no mundo, cultivado com sucesso nos cinco continentes, ocupando uma área de cultivo superior a 22 milhões de hectares. A participação do Brasil nesse montante é inferior a 1%. Acredita-se que essa pequena participação se deva a fatores sócio-econômicos e tecnológicos. Salienta-se, porém que o Brasil, por suas vantagens comparativas naturais e vantagens competitivas construídas possui condições favoráveis para seu desenvolvimento. Diante dos fatos, o objetivo deste trabalho é aprofundar o conhecimento da cadeia produtiva do girassol e através de sua utilização como estratégia de competitividade, avaliar de maneira sistêmica os impactos na matriz agrícola do País. Dentre as inúmeras vantagens dessa cultura, pode-se destacar: características agronômicas, físicas, químicas, organolépticas e versatilidade, que permitem a utilização e otimização dos fatores de produção já disponíveis; época de plantio (adaptabilidade a diferentes condições edafoclimáticas), podendo ser cultivado desde o Rio Grande do Sul até o Estado de Roraima; sistema radicular (raiz pode chegar a dois metros de profundidade), permitindo o melhor aproveitamento dos nutrientes e da água do solo e promovendo a reciclagem de nutrientes; alto teor de óleo nas sementes (30% a 55%) e; alto valor comercial dos co-produtos. Esse conjunto de características é analisado sob a ótica da teoria das vantagens competitivas e das economias de escala e escopo, demonstrando que com inteligência e pragmatismo, a cultura do girassol pode repetir, com vantagens, o que a soja representou para o agronegócio brasileiro.

A growing awareness of the modern society about the direct relationship between a growing global community with increasing total industrial activities on one hand and various environmental problems and a natural limitation of natural resources on the other hand set the base for sustainable or “green” approaches within the supply chain. This paper therefore will look at the issue of “Green Logistics” which seeks to reduce the environmental impact of logistics activities by taking into account functions such as recycling, waste and carbon emission reduction and the use of alternative sources of energy. In order to analyze how these approaches and ideas are being perceived by the system as a whole two models from the area of prospective and scenario planning are being used and described to identify the main drivers and tendencies within the system in order to create feasible hypothesis. Using the URCA/CHIVAS model allows us to identify the driver variables out of a high number of variables that best describe the system “Green Logistics”. Followed by the analysis of the actor’s strategies in the system with the Mactor model it is possible to reduce the complexity of a completely holistic system to a few key drivers that can be analyzed further on. Here the implications of URCA/CHIVAS and Mactor are being used to formulate hypotheses about the perception of Green Logistics and its successful implementation among logistics decision makers by an online survey. This research seeks to demonstrate the usefulness of scenario planning to a highly complex system observing it from all angles and extracting information about the relevant factors of it. The results of this demonstration indicate that there are drivers much beyond the factory walls that need to be considered when implementing successfully a system such as Green Logistics.

Over one-third of global food production goes to waste while over 850million people are fighting chronic hunger. The United States is the world’s largest food waster. One third of America’s food with an economic value of US$161 billion is wasted and less than 7% is recycled. American food waste ends up in landfills creating powerful methane gas emissions. South Korea, on the other hand, has implemented the world’s strictest food waste laws, and today diverts 93% of wasted food away from landfills turning such waste into powerful economic opportunities. This Master Thesis investigates the reasons behind global food waste by comparing South Korea and the US. It explores what these two nations are doing to address their respective food waste problems, South Korea successfully, the US not. The paper looks at the two countries’ respective policies and national characteristics, which impact decision-making and recycling processes. The effort concludes that South Korea has embarked on a necessary paradigm shift turning food waste into powerful economic drivers leading to a sharp decline in food waste. In the US, food waste continues to be a major problem without a national strategy to remedy waste. Any effort in the US, while laudable, is sporadic and local, and hence the US misses out on possibly important economic growth opportunities.

A aprovação e posterior regulamentação da Lei 12.305, de 2 de agosto de 2010, que institui a Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos – PNRS estabeleceu necessidades de uma nova articulação entre os três entes federados – União, Estados e Municípios – o setor produtivo e a sociedade em geral na busca de soluções para os problemas atuais na gestão de resíduos sólidos. Baseada principalmente no conceito de responsabilidade compartilhada, toda a sociedade – cidadãos, setor produtivo, governos e sociedade civil organizada – passa a ser responsável pela gestão dos resíduos sólidos por ela produzidos. Falando especificamente do cidadão, um dos atuais desafios é saber como seu comportamento em relação à separação de resíduos recicláveis no âmbito do seu domicílio se relaciona com os objetivos e metas de reciclagem do município. Considerou-se uma amostra (N=310) de residentes em domicílios do Rio de Janeiro, e os dados coletados foram analisados segundo o modelo ABC de STERN. Os resultados empíricos mostraram que as variáveis associadas ao hábito, às normas sociais diretas e às atitudes afetivas têm peso significativo na predição do modelo do comportamento pró-reciclagem. Como contribuição prática, espera-se que o PMGIRS do Rio de Janeiro possa ser aprimorado, contribuindo para o aumento da participação do cidadão na separação de resíduos recicláveis em seu domicílio, auxiliando os gestores municipais nas decisões necessárias ao cumprimento de objetivos e metas relacionados com a reciclagem na cidade do Rio de Janeiro.
