Tecnologia : um recurso estratégico no processo de externalizar

Ainda que o desenvolvimento das tecnologias de informação se tenham demarcado nestes últimos vinte anos como algo de verdadeiramente revolucionário que pode desencadear mudanças radicais na sociedade, isto não pode ser suficiente para determinar a estrutura da sociedade em geral e das organizações do trabalho em particular. Pretende-se assim mostrar que ainda que a inclusão de tecnologia possa ser benéfica para as organizações, o desenvolvimento de estratégias deve ser visto de um ponto de vista integrado juntando criatividade e sinergias que funcionem como companheiras naturais da vantagem competitiva. Neste contexto, o “Outsourcing” surge como um componente fundamental do processo estratégico, que muito embora possa incluir ou não tecnologia, terá sempre de ser visto como algo revolucionário no desenvolvimento de novos serviços em termos de eficiência operacional. / Although the development of information technologies have marked the past twenty years as something truly revolutionary that can initiate radical changes in the society, this may not be sufficient to determine the structure of society in general and labor organizations in particular. This article intend to show that although the inclusion of technology would be beneficial to the organizations, the development of strategies should be viewed from an integrated point of view by adding creativity and synergy, both acting as natural companions of competitive advantage. In this context, the "Outsourcing" arise as a key component of the strategic process, that although may include or not technology, must always be seen as something revolutionary in the development of new services in terms of operational efficiency.

Perspectives on experiences of innovation: the development of an assessment methodology appropriate to construction project organizations

The UK construction industry is in the process of trying to adopt a new culture based on the large-scale take up of innovative practices. Through the Demonstration Project process many organizations are implementing changed practices and learning from the experiences of others. This is probably the largest experiment in innovation in any industry in recent times. The long-term success will be measured by the effectiveness of embedding the new practices in the organization. As yet there is no recognized approach to measuring the receptivity of the organization to the innovation process as an indication of the likelihood of long-term development. The development of an appropriate approach is described here. Existing approaches to the measurement of the take up of innovation were reviewed and where appropriate used as the base for the development of a questionnaire. The questionnaire could be applicable to multi-organizational construction project situations such that the output could determine an individual organization's innovative practices via an innovation scorecard, a project team's approach or it could be used to survey a wide cross-section of the industry.
