The scope of this theses is to understand the dynamics of the institutionalization of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) within the Field of Banking Organizations in Brazil. Using the social analysis model put forward by Boltanski and Chiapello (1999) and reverting to the conceptual basis of the institutional approach and using Bourdieu¿s notion of interest (1996), we arrive at an analytical model that enabled us to assess CSR as part of a movement of displacement of capitalism. The theory we propose here is that with the institutionalization of CSR, actions are justified in terms of the common good, being legitimized by structural confirmations and arrangements and, at the same time, heeding the inherent interests of the Field. The means used for comprehension of the dynamics of the institutionalization of CSR were: (1) the analysis of the construction of the phenomenon of CSR, which enabled us to identify critical factors and events, leaders in Brazil and associated ratification of the institutionalization of this social practice; (2) the description of the Field of Banking Organizations and the identification of the elements of its CSR in History, which are essential steps for understanding the justifications for insertion of the Field in the movement towards CSR; (3) the identification of key players in the institutionalization of the social practice within the Field, as well as the categorization of practical actions considered socially responsible to be found in the organizations researched, analyzing them in terms of justifications and interests; (4) the analysis of the dissemination and sedimentation of structural arrangements linked to CSR in the organizations of the Field, such as specific areas created to deal with CSR, social reports and organizational websites. The field research assessed some 30 organizations and included documentary analysis and interviews. We noted that, from being a marginal and isolated action, over the course of the past decade CSR has become a structured action in banking organizations, while at the same time becoming transformed into a social value, capable of contributing to the legitimacy of the Field. In this respect, research showed that retail banks are those that are inserted in the movement towards CSR, which ratifies the thesis of the phenomenon as displacement of capitalism.

The concept of market orientation appeared in the beginning of the year 1990 as one of the main marketing developments, getting prominence, at the end of the decade, in the strategy area as well. However due to universalization presuppositions and due to the statistical positivism, this concept seems to be limited for an organization type that still receives from researchers' little attention: nationalized companies. These companies origin is linked to the privatization processes, which happened throughout the years after 1990 in Brazil. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this thesis recognizes the main marketing and strategy debates; however it points for neglectful dimensions in both areas, necessary for a broader OPM concept understanding. With the objective of a broader understanding of the OPM concept, this thesis searches for the alignment of the OPM concept with the strategy as social practice conceptions as a framework for the conduction of a case study on nationalized companies belonging to the telecommunication sectors. The exploratory character of the study reveals important subjects that can help the development of the OPM concept in a broader way for future researches as: the government influence over markets, market culture development in nationalized companies and different market concepts existence.

Orientações estratégicas com uma perspectiva social são cada vez mais comuns em grandes corporações multinacionais, sobretudo em um contexto de exclusão e desigualdade social em uma era de globalização. As estratégias de base da pirâmide surgem nesse contexto, fundamentadas no argumento de que é possível erradicar a pobreza em escala global através das estratégias das grandes corporações junto às camadas sociais da base. Se por um lado este discurso é apoiado e repetido por empresas e agências de desenvolvimento internacional, há por outro lado, uma visão mais crítica que questiona os verdadeiros resultados e interesses existentes por trás destas estratégias. Apesar disso, falta diálogo entre os autores que defendem cada uma das vertentes. Esta dissertação origina-se a partir da necessidade de abordagens alternativas ao binômio crítica-mainstream, particularmente no âmbito da estratégia de marketing. Foi adotada então uma perspectiva de estratégia como prática social, a fim de se investigar os principais aspectos da formação destas orientações estratégicas em marketing e contribuir para a melhor compreensão do fenômeno. A fim de investigar estratégias de marketing internacional focadas na base da pirâmide no Brasil sob uma perspectiva de estratégia como prática social, foi realizado um estudo de caso em uma empresa multinacional norte-americana com ampla atuação no país, mais especificamente no setor de bebidas e alimentos. Os resultados da pesquisa destacam a relevância de desenvolvimentos acadêmicos e gerenciais focados em questões de política e de poder, especialmente para pesquisadores e praticantes sediados em países emergentes e vinculados tanto ao âmbito privado quanto ao âmbito público.

A pesquisa “A organização do lazer e seus prazeres: o caso do Club Med” se inscreve no âmbito de um campo recente de investigação que toma o turismo como prática social e procura compreender a sua inserção nas dinâmicas culturais em nível local e global. A partir do caso Club Med, analiso comparativamente o fenômeno dos hotéis de lazer no Brasil e em outros países. O objetivo é entender como ocorre o processo de elaboração desses hotéis como espaços lúdicos altamente cobiçados mundo afora. Paralelamente, o estudo contempla também a perspectiva do cliente e, conseqüentemente, a questão do consumo do produto resort na sociedade contemporânea.

The major purpose of this thesis is to verify, from a Brazilian perspective, how global and contextual issues influence the management learning in Multinationals. The management learning derived from the interaction of holding and sidiaries/colligates of Multinational corporation is supposed to be subject to convergent and divergent forces, the former related to global and standardized organizational practices, and the latter, is seen as a social practice subject to cultural and organizational singularities. A model was constructed to relate the dichotomy between the universality of the management practices and technologies and the particularity of the contexts where they operate, to the dichotomy between the singularities in organization and national level. This model is composed of the international, global, managerial and inter-organizational dimensions related, respectively, to the cultural and political diversity; to the universal forces of practices and values; to the managerial capabilities and resources in the organization, consolidated as best practices and to the interaction between holding and subsidiaries and the resulted learning. The combined result of these dimensions influences the knowledge flow and the learning derived from it. The field research was constituted of five cases of internationalized Brazilian firms, with a solid experience in their management systems. The main subjects of this study were executives and ofessionals/managers who respond to the management development. The data were first collected in the headquarters and complemented with visits to subsidiaries/joint ventures in other countries, in loco or with expatriated people who return to Brazil. The central supposition was validated. So, the management learning ¿ is driven by the global capitalism practices and by the global culture where they are immersed, reproducing a hegemonic vision and a common language (global dimension); ¿ incorporates the more propagated and dominant managerial values, although there are some variations when they are applied in the subsidiaries/joint ventures; is the product of the assimilation of international recognized and planned managerial practices, with the acculturation power, although not completely; is the result mainly of the managerial practice in work; is impacted not only by cross-cultural and managerial factors, but also by the business environment of the firm; is given according to the capabilities and resources in the organization, guiding the form of assimilation of practices and technologies, with global application or not (managerial dimension); ¿ is affected by the cross-cultural diversity involving the countries of the holding and the subsidiaries/joint ventures where the firm is and is given as a reproduction of the political context of the holding and subsidiaries countries (international dimension); ¿ faces aligned concurrent institutional pressures between corporate or global systems, practices of other subsidiaries/joint ventures and local practices; is more difficult to reach when there is not permeability between organizational cultures and identities of a Multinational firm; is affected by how much the relationship process across these unities is self-referenced; is facilitated by the construction and improvement of the knowledge network (interorganizational dimension). Finally some contributions of this study are exposed, including extensions of the proposed model and suggestions, recommendations for future research.

In the Brazilian political history, the power of the State was always associated to the classes that hold the production means. The state intervention to solve the lacks of the population induced the cooptation of the less favored classes, guaranteeing the continuity of the elites in the power and discouraging initiatives of the bases participation. The citizen participation is one of the analysis dimensions of the public power decision process and it must consist in a key dimension at the identification of solutions for the development. Through the evaluation of a municipal program addressed to the resident population in slums of medium load in Rio de Janeiro - the Programa Favela-Bairro - the study aims to verify, at the present time, if the participation remain an expression of the theoretical speech of the public administration or if it is understood as a social right. It intends to evaluate the mechanisms and the spaces of the communities dialogue with the public municipal managers. The field research consisted of interviews with social actors of the executive and municipal legislative, as well as with members of the organized civil society (inhabitants associations), community leaders and beneficiaries of the program, residents in the slum. The work raises the discussion about the necessary conditions to the public politics produce effective results, in terms of the human satisfaction, and to lead the social subjects to the understanding and learning of the active citizenship and democracy. It also intends to identify an evaluation methodology whose produced knowledge acts in the transformation of the society, reinforcing the critical researcher's paper, whose commitment is to study the reality and to point the roads that lead to the change in the social practice.

O processo de modernização da cacauicultura desenvolvido na Microrregião Cacaueira da Bahia teve suas bases assentadas na década de 1930, consolidando-se na década de 1970, fazendo parte das estratégias de penetração do capitalismo no campo, para fortalecimento do modelo econômico brasileiro. Apesar dos seus limites, trouxe grandes repercussões econômicas, políticas e sociais para aquela sociedade regional. Baseando-se em critérios de racionalidade técnica e econômica, o processo caracterizou-se por um forte viés ideológico. Preconizava o aumento da renda da terra, pela substituição de técnicas de trabalho "atrasadas" na cacauicultura e pela elevação do nível de conhecimento dos agricultores, que levaria ao desenvolvimento de novos hábitos e atitudes e à criação de uma mentalidade comprometida com a modernização. Nessa perspectiva, a educação desempenha um papel importante no processo de modernização e na elaboração das representações sociais das classes populares rurais, que são o objeto de estudo desse trabalho. As práticas educativas sao consideradas como repercussão do processo de modernização e as representações sociais são caracterizadas pela dependência, conformismo e submissão, mas também como manifestações de consciência social, ainda que dissociadas de uma prática social mais concreta.

Neste trabalho, procuramos analisar fatores que contribuem para o sucesso ou insucesso de determinadas práticas terapêuticas em instituições psiquiátricas. Como prática social, que se realiza através de instituições, a psiquiatria e as relações sociais e humanas dela decorrentes, são, um campo privilegiado de aplicação de descobertas das ciências sociais e do comportamento e seu estudo dificilmente se fará a partir de uma só perspectiva, que nos possibilita referendar este trabalho sob uma abordagem institucional, considerando o hospital estudado como fazendo parte de um contexto mais amplo da sociedade. A análise foi realizada através da comparação de dados referentes aos pacientes e à equipe de atendimento do hospital psiquiátrico que ilustra este trabalho. Estes se referem a dois períodos diferentes de atendimento psiquiátrico. Consideramos o primeiro período como de terapêutica clássica e o segundo como o da implantação e expansão da experiência de comunidade terapêutica. Colocamos este segundo momento como o mais relevante na história das práticas terapêuticas daquele hospital, posto que marca o início de um período bastante diferente do anterior , tanto no que concerne às ideias e à abordagem dos problemas psiquiátricos em geral, quanto à atenção dispensada aos pacientes especificamente, deixando cada vez menor a margem para um tratamento unilateral da doença mental, não somente em termos teóricos, mas também, em termos práticos em virtude da tentativa de fortalecimento da vinculação paciente/família/comunidade. Entretanto a comparação realizada nos permite concluir que de acordo com os dados apresentados pelo hospital os dois períodos não diferem significativamente no que se referem aos pacientes e a equipe de atendimento. Considerando ainda que a prática terapêutica em hospitais públicos está organizada em função de objetivos da política de saúde vigente.
