Importância da sustentabilidade para as empresas do setor de energia elétrica: utilização de relatório de sustentabilidade com base no GRI

O Relatório de Sustentabilidade é um instrumento que visa dar maior transparência às atividades empresariais e ampliar o diálogo da organização com a sociedade, tendo em vista a necessidade de comunicar aos stakeholders suas práticas socioambientais, além das econômicas. A presente pesquisa buscou compreender de que forma as empresas do segmento de energia elétrica, listadas na BM&F BOVESPA como Nível 1 e Novo Mercado de Governança Corporativa divulgam aos interessados seus Relatórios de Sustentabilidade. Realizou-se análise documental, através dos Relatórios de Sustentabilidade das empresas do setor elétrico: CEEE, Cemig, Cesp, Copel, CPFL, CTEEP, EDP, Eletrobrás, Equatorial, Light, Tractebel e MPX. Foram analisados os relatórios referentes aos anos de 2010, 2011 e 2012. Houve uma sutil evolução na divulgação dos indicadores da GRI-Global Reporting Initiative, possivelmente por serem reconhecidos internacionalmente, o que proporciona às empresas maior confiabilidade e transparência em suas informações.

Modelo para formação dinâmica de rede de fornecedores em empresas estendidas

Supply chains have become an important focus for competitive advantage. The performance of a company increasingly depends on its ability to maintain effective and efficient relationships with its suppliers and customers. The extended enterprise (i.e. composed of several partners) needs to be dynamically formed in order to be agile and adaptable. According to the Digital Manufacturing paradigm, companies have to be able to quickly share and disseminate information regarding planning, designing and manufacturing of products. Additionally, they must be responsive to all technical and business determinants, as well as be assessed and certified for guaranteed performance. The current research intends to present a solution for the dynamic composition of the extended enterprise, formed to take advantage of market opportunities quickly and efficiently. A construction model was developed. This construction model consists of: information model, protocol model and process model. The information model has been defined based on the concepts of Supply Chain Operations Reference model (SCOR®). In this model is defined information for negotiating the participation of candidate companies in the dynamic establishment of a network for responding to a given demand for developing and manufacturing products, in seven steps as follows: request for information; request for qualification; alignment of strategy; request for proposal; request for quotation; compatibility of process; and compatibility of system. The protocol model has been elaborated and inspired in the OSI, this model provides a framework for linking customers and suppliers, indicates a sequence to be followed, in order to selecte companies to become suppliers. The process model has been implemented by means of process modeling according to the BPMN standard and, in turn, implemented as a web-based application that runs the process through its several steps, which uses forms to gather data. An application example in the context of the oil and gas industry is used for demonstrating the solution concept.

Medición y presentación de las franquicias en las empresas del sector servicio restaurantes del área metropolítana de San Salvador, en base a la NIC 38 activos intangibles.

El propósito fundamental del proyecto de investigación consiste en abordar la situación problemática que representa la medición y presentación de los activos intangibles, particularmente en el caso de las Franquicias considerando la normativa en vigencia. En particular, es un tema que actualmente se vuelve necesario, debido a la adopción de normativas técnicas para una mejor presentación de la información contable. Los Activos Intangibles son parte importante del valor de mercado de las empresas y organizacionesen general, su análisis corresponde a la necesidad de la contabilidad, que no proporciona la información suficiente en relación con la medición y valuación de dichos recursos. Se ha destacado la importancia de los Activos intangibles como elementos generadores de valor, teniendo en cuenta que usualmente se da mayor importancia a los recursos físicos y monetarios, sin tener presente que la identificación de los activos intangibles es una nueva realidad, la cual le proporciona a las empresas que los valoran mayor eficiencia y verdaderas fuentes de creación de valor. Dichos activos si son gestionados y medidos convenientemente, se transforman en una fuente de ventaja competitiva sostenible capaz de traducirse en beneficios importantes. Las franquicias han marcado la pauta en la nueva tendencia mundial del comercio entre las naciones. La nueva era de un mundo globalizado ha permitido que este sistema de comercialización sea cada día más común en todos los países. La franquicia se trata a grandes rasgos, de la venta que hace un productor original, de un formato o negocio, concepto que incluye derechos, estrategias de servicio. El comprador se hace acreedor a unos derechos, para establecer su propio negocio, explotando los productos y marcas ya posicionadas en el mercado y que por ende, tienen un prestigio ganado. La investigación se desarrolló a través de una metodología basada en la implementación de técnicas y métodos científicos, que arrojaron resultados que se analizaron e interpretaron, con el objetivo de elaborar un diagnóstico sobre el conocimiento de la medición y presentación de las franquicias de acuerdo a la normativa en vigencia en el sector en estudio. A partir de los resultados obtenidos se pudo concluir que: Las empresas no cuentan con herramientas que contribuyan al mejoramiento de la medición y presentación de las Franquicias dentro de sus estados financieros que les permita mostrar de forma más eficiente los resultados obtenidos durante la explotación de la franquicia. Los contadores de las empresas del Sector Servicio Restaurantes consideran que la no aplicación de la NIC 38 Activos Intangibles se debe a aspectos tales como complejidad en la interpretación de los criterios técnicos establecidos, fase de adopción de normas y desconocimiento de su contenido. Basándonos en las conclusiones anteriores se han evaluado cuales podrían ser las acciones más recomendables a tomar: Es indispensable que las empresas creen los lineamientos idóneos o apropiados para una correcta medición y presentación de las franquicias obteniendo la capacitación necesaria para la implementación de la Norma Internacional de Contabilidad 38 Activos Intangibles en la elaboración de sus registros contables sobre las franquicias.
