O estudo teve por objetivo investigar,em uma fábrica de calçados destinados ao mercado de exportação, a influência de fatores psico-organizacionais, em especial o "estilo de liderança" na gênese dos Distúrbios Osteomusculares Relacionados ao Trabalho (DORT). O trabalho buscou, ainda, a identificação das prevalências dos DORT na referida empresa. A amostra foi constituída por 111 funcionários voluntários de ambos os sexos, selecionados de maneira aleatória, restringindo-se aos que tinham tempo mínimo de dois anos de atuação na empresa. Para a realização do estudo foram aplicados questionários com base em ferramenta de investigação de DORT do National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) adaptada às condições da empresa. Os resultados observados mostraram que o estilo de liderança autocrático é significativo na gênese dos DORT, e que o Odds Ratio é 6,39 vezes maior que os não expostos a esse fator. Verificou-se ainda que a prevalência geral de DORT na empresa é de 35%, atingindo em 94,9% os trabalhadores do sexo feminino. A patologia específica mais encontrada foi a Síndrome do Túnel do Carpa (STe) em 20,5% dos casos. O índice de absenteísmo constatado foi 2,47 vezes maior entre os portadores de DORT. Como conclusão o estudo aponta para a necessidade de tomada de medidas mais adequadas do ponto de vista ergonômico no processo produtivo bem como na capacitação dos chefes, supervisores e gerentes no que conceme às relações interpessoais.

Tendo em vista a importância das normas ambientais propostas no âmbito da série ISO 14000 e as mudanças nas relações comerciais internacionais que estas normas podem propiciar, esta dissertação se propõe a verificar alterações na natureza da competição no mercado global e, em especial, as expectativas de impacto nas indústrias integradas de papel e celulose do Rio Grande do Sul. Foi apresentada a estrutura da série ISO 14000 e feita uma avaliação de seus impactos nas atividades comerciais, de modo especial no comércio internacional. Foram também estudadas as relações entre tecnologia e meio ambiente, bem como levantados os principais aspectos tecnológicos envolvidos nas discussões ambientais do setor de papel e celulose. Foram analisados os casos das empresas Riocell e Votorantim Pedras Brancas, buscando os dados em fontes secundárias e, através de questionários, junto a especialistas internos às empresas e a uma especialista independente, avalições da realidade atual das empresas. As relações entre as normas e a indústria de papel e celulose foram consideradas usando o modelo de análise estrutural de indústrias proposto por Michel Porter, em seu livro Estratégia Competitiva. Para dar suporte à análise, foi montado um cenário de referência para o ano de 2005. Concluiu-se que a Riocell será bastante afetada por produzir uma commodity exposta à intensa competição internacional. A Votorantim Pedras Brancas, atuando no mercado nacional e produzindo papéis especiais para segmentos restritos, sofrerá um impacto bem menor, no período considerado.

Accordingly, a variety of firms's technological capabilities studies, the literature recently is still lacking about the dynamic of sector evolution and technological development in inter-firm and their implication for technical and economical financial performance. More lacking is the research catching up the evolution of industrial sectors after the institutional reforms in the 90. For that, the focus of the dissertation is to analyze the main of the evolution of the pulp and paper industry from 1970 to 2004, using as reference points the import-substitution policy and the economic deregulation of the 1990s. Futhermore, the work tries to evaluate how such changes at industry level have been perceived from a firm point of view in terms of accumulation of technological capabilities and improvement of economic financial performance. This linkage is tested and examined in the following firms: Aracruz (Barra do Riacho establishment ), Klabin (Monte Alegre establishment) e Votorantim Celulose e Papel ¿ VCP (Jacareí establishment), defining the same time period of sectoral level. As far as the industry level study is concerned, it is based on the average rate of annual growth of some selected variables, given that the technological capabilities test is performed according to the methodology already existing in the literature, but properly adapted to the pulp and paper case. Similarly, the analysis regarding the improvement of the economic financial performance is based on a set of industry specific indicators. Hence, the work is built upon multiple case studies, taking into account both the qualitative and quantitative evidence, i.e. interviews, direct observations, as well as firm reports. Finally, it is worth emphasizing as the analysis of the changes in the sector, in conjunction with the above mentioned methodology used to measure the technological capabilities in the context of an evolving industrial regime, is still lacking in emerging economies as well as in Brazil. According to the empirical evidence, the reforms of the 1990s had a positive impact on the industrial development, from both the national and international viewpoint. Such a transformation was evident at firm level in terms of accumulation of technological capabilities and improvement of economic financial indicators. Indeed, the results show that the speed of accumulation of technological capabilities within the firms influences positively the performance indicators. On the other hand, these are also related to external factors, such as the macroeconomic conditions, which as such have not been considered in details.

The purpose of this work, is to analyze the principles underlying the pulp and paper industry, here portrayed by Aracruz Celulose S A, in the marketing standpoint, as far as it concerns being in harmony with nature and adapting its relations with the stakeholders, notably regarding the community of the State of Espírito Santo. As they form, indeed, part of the same discussion, the goal is to proceed with a detailed examination of the major aspects and conditions involved, based in its corporate communications, leading to the construction of a positive corporate brand. The results found throughout this study show that despite Aracruz and the communities¿ different goals, they converge regarding their interests towards the best practices in social and environmental practices, and a more objective communication. Industry and community can work together for a same benefit: the best relations of man towards Nature, and of man towards man. The examples here stated will endorse our perception as well as serve to evaluate the results of the measures adopted in this relationship. It could be verified how internal and external aspects of the organization influence the company¿s reputation, leading to important changes in attitude and in the production process. Pressures from stakeholders have contributed largely in helping Aracruz become more conscious of the important role it plays in the social-environmental universe of the State of Espírito Santo. The assessment of leading the process of communications within in-depth transparency have signaled that, despite a closer approach with its stakeholders, Aracruz still needs to fulfill an existing gap: an excellent rapport between the company and the communities where it influences still needs to be pursued, especially regarding communicating its activities.

The aim of this case study was to investigate how the evolutionary process of the development of software, especially the change of paradigm for the factory software, has affected the structure of the Board of Relacionamento, Desenvolvimento e Informações - DRD at a public company called Dataprev and also reflecting or not a return to the model taylorist-fordist of the organization on production. For this study, there were interviews and a questionnaire applied, as well as documentary and literature review on the following topics: organizational structure, factory software, taylorism and fordism. From the data collected and analyzed, in the perspective studied, it was understood that there is not a return to the model taylorist-fordist to organize the production in the process of adopting the concept of a software factory in Dataprev. In addition to that, there was a flexibility in the organizational structure of its units of development - the softwares factories Dataprev.

O agronegócio tornou-se, nos últimos anos, um importante motivador do crescimento da pauta de exportações brasileiras e do desenvolvimento da agricultura no Centro Oeste do Brasil. Um dos principais produtos deste setor é o farelo de soja, componente da ração na criação em larga escala de aves e suínos. Esse trabalho de conclusão trata da implantação de HACCP e da aplicação de técnicas estatísticas em uma fábrica produtora de farelo de soja localizada em Cuiabá. A exigência dos clientes nacionais e internacionais por um produto seguro sob o ponto de vista alimentar, torna a implantação dessas metodologias um importante diferencial competitivo para se comercializar o farelo de soja na Europa, Ásia e para os grandes consumidores do mercado interno brasileiro. Fez-se uma revisão bibliográfica que contemplou aspectos de microbiologia, engenharia de alimentos, HACCP e CEP. Descreveu-se, passo a passo, todo o processo produtivo, analisando-se os perigos de contaminação de cada etapa, aplicando-se o CEP no Ponto Crítico de Processo. Apresentou-se todo o processo de implantação das metodologias propostas. Os objetivos do trabalho são, além da implantação das metodologias, conseguir melhorias no processo produtivo, caracterizando a melhoria contínua e também garantir a certificação da planta em HACCP. Tais objetivos foram alcançados: houve significativas mudanças nos índices de avaliação da fábrica onde o HACCP foi implantado, e a metodologia passou a ser utilizada como uma nova ferramenta de gestão na empresa.

Due to the crisis over rigid automation that occurred around 1960, management models essentially fordist, have gradually become more flexible. The software factories, however, that emerged in the nineties manufacturing the most advanced technological products, adopted eminently fordist controls and seem to be going contrary to the evolutionary cycle that organizations tend to follow. The alternation between rigid and flexible management models of these software factories, observed under continuum fordism (0) ______ (1) post-fordism, as well as the limitations of the metaphor that emerges given the nature of the software they manufacture, constitutes the object of the study.

Over the last 40 years there has been a profusion of studies about the ccumulation of technological capacities in firms from developing economies. However, there remain few studies that examine, on a combined basis, the relationship among: the trajectories of technological capacities accumulation; the underlying learning mechanisms; and, the implications of organizational factors for these two variables. Still scarcer are the studies that examine the relationship among these variables along time and based on a comparative case study. This dissertation examines the relationship among the trajectory of accumulation of innovative capacities in complex project management, the learning mechanisms underlying these technological capacities and the intra-organizational factors that influence these learning echanisms. That set of relationships is examined through a comparative and a long-term (1988-2008) case study in a capital goods firm (for the pulp and paper industry) and a pulp mill in Brazil. Based on first-hand quantitative and qualitative empiric evidence, gathered through extensive field research, this dissertation found: 1. Both firms accumulated innovative capacity in project management at the international frontier level (Level 6). However, there was variability between the firms in terms of the nature and speed of accumulation of those capacities. It was also observed that, at this level of innovation, the innovative capacities of both firms are not confined to their organizational boundaries, but they are distributed beyond their boundaries. 2. So that these companies could accumulate those levels of innovative capacities it was necessary to manage several learning mechanisms: leveraging of external knowledge and its internalization in terms of internal apacities of the firm. In other words, as the companies accumulated more innovative levels of capacities for project management, it was necessary to manage different cycles of technological learning. 3. Further, the relationship between the ccumulation of technological capacities and learning was affected positively by intra-organizational factors, such as 'authority disposition', 'mutability of work roles' and 'intensity of internal crises', and negatively by the factor 'singularity of goals'. This dissertation revealed divergent results between firms in two of the four factors studied. These results contribute to advance our understanding of the complexity and variability involved in the process of accumulation of innovative capacities in firms from developing economies. This highlights the growing importance of the organizational and the human resource dimensions of innovation and technological capacity as the company approaches the international frontier. The results suggest to managers that: (i) the good performance in project management in the two firms studied did not occur simply as a result of the pulp and paper Brazilian industry growth, rather as a result of the deliberate construction and accumulation of the capacities through an intensive and coordinated cyclical process of technological learning, (ii) to develop innovative capabilities in project management, besides looking for learning mechanisms they should also look at the organizational factors that influence the learning mechanisms directly, (iii) performance of pulp mill¿s projects is better when projects are implemented together with technology suppliers than when performed only by the mill. This dissertation concludes that capital goods firms have been having a fundamental role for the innovative capabilities accumulation in project management of pulp mills in Brazil (and vice-versa) for a long time. This contradicts some authors' propositions that affirm that: a) equipment suppliers for the pulp and paper industry have been creating little, if any, development of processes or engineering projects in Brazil; b) firms in the pulp and paper industry have little capacity for machinery and equipments projects only taking place in few technological activities, being internal or external to the firm. Finally, some studies are proposed for future research.

Industrial segment uses natural resources in a wide scale, but evaluate the use of these resources is a complex and new task. Few is known about existing methodologies of evaluation, mainly because of the fact that the value of this resource is more implicit than explicit. It is known that evaluation methods support the environmental accounting but the industrial community for an effective environmental management of their businesses does not yet use this tool in a regular basis. The main objective of this work is to analyze how companies who develop industrial activities on mining, siderurgy, paper and cellulose segments, are evaluating the use of natural resources for economic development, in terms of methodologies application for environment evaluation. Based on an explore research with companies from the segments previously defined in an intentional sampling and through a case study, it was possible to understand enterprise behavior according to the existing level of knowledge internalized on evaluation methodologies, to go deeper on an analysis of the premises and of the basis of the methodologies in an environmental accounting project of a paper and cellulose segment industry.

The main purpose of this work is to show how the investments in training influence the financial returns of Aracruz Celulose S.A., in the period from january/1998 to december/2000. The data will be treated using quantitative and qualitative parameters. Our analyses will be based on the practical elements. In order to study the idea of investment return in terms of training and questions involving motivation, a knowledge of learning, which is in itself complex because of the varieties of learning theories which don¿t fit into the cultural models being studied, we direct our attention to the necessity of a model which understands the problems of existing conditions. For so much, the most appropriate method for the treatment of data relative to motivation, to knowledge and to learning, will be the ex post facto, because this refers to facts abready known and the researcher would be unable to control or manipulate the variables.

A eficácia da estratégia de uma empresa é decidida, em última análise, pela maneira como os consumidores a percebem. Resultados operacionais, tais como vendas e lucros, são medidas que dependem do nível de valor agregado criado para os consumidores. Quanto mais alto esse valor, tanto melhor a estratégia. A vantagem competitiva se atinge criando mais valor que os concorrentes e o valor é definido pela percepção do consumidor. Esse trabalho tem por objetivo formular estratégias competitivas para o negócio de Poliuretano Termoplástico, na empresa FCC Fornecedora. O método de trabalho utilizado consistiu, inicialmente, na realização de uma pesquisa de satisfação de clientes. A seguir foi realizada a identificação das fragilidades e potencialidades do negócio, através da avaliação dos ambientes interno e externo, visando assim, à identificação de um conjunto de ações de melhoria coerentes às perspectivas do mercado. Através da utilização de uma matriz importância versus desempenho, a qual foi elaborada antes e após a implementação das ações, foi possível identificar que os atributos relacionados à qualidade e flexibilidade apresentaram significativo incremento em desempenho.
