A organização de negócios por contrato de terceirização: uma aplicação à industria de tecnologia de informação no Brasil

Como resultado da ênfase na minimização da dependência de fornecedores e na maximização do poder de barganha do contratante, os modelos tradicionais de terceirização têm-se restringido à gestão da estrutura de suprimento da atividade-meio. Esta pesquisa tem por propósito contribuir para a mudança desse paradigma tradicional de decisão de terceirização, descrevendo como os modelos de cooperação no relacionamento contratual podem capitalizar as decisões na atividade dos negócios com eficácia, flexibilidade e adaptabilidade. Esta pesquisa em trinta e sete firmas, engajadas em contratos de terceirização da tecnologia de informação no Brasil, tem por propósito examinar a barreira do relacionamento na transação com ativos específicos e a explicar porque os modelos tradicionais ignoram o processo de relacionamento nas análises de decisão de comprar ou fazer atividades da cadeia de valor. Integrando-se a teoria econômica dos custos de transação com a teoria da organização, a teoria de agência e a teoria jurídica dos contratos, introduziuse nesta pesquisa um modelo de análise e gestão de relacionamento contratual que complementa as abordagens neoclásslcas.

Os impactos da reestruturação organizacional de uma empresa multinacional de alta tecnologia na área de treinamento e desenvolvimento de call center:aplicação da teoria das configurações de Mintzberg

Neste estudo realizamos uma pesquisa no setor de serviços de uma empresa multinacional de alta tecnologia, na qual ocorreram mudanças organizacionais envolvendo a área de treinamento e desenvolvimento, que atendia vários clientes de call centers, com sua equipe deixando de se reportar à Gerência Operacional local e passando a se reportar à área de Treinamento & Desenvolvimento Global. O objetivo foi contribuir para o papel do desenho organizacional da área de treinamento neste setor. O estudo teve como embasamento a Teoria das Cinco Configurações, de Henry Mintzberg, e as questões respondidas foram: que reestruturação a empresa estudada está implementando, de acordo com a teoria de Mintzberg, e quais são os impactos desta reestruturação para o departamento estudado, na visão dos entrevistados? O método utilizado foi o de estudo de caso e a nossa pesquisa foi realizada na organização desta área no Brasil, na qual coletamos dados através de fontes primárias, e empregamos observação direta e pesquisa de campo com entrevistas semiestruturadas com funcionários e clientes da área. Demostramos que a organização de treinamento estava se estruturando como uma Adhocracia Operacional e que a mudança foi positiva na visão tanto dos funcionários da área, quanto de seus clientes. Para avaliarmos o comportamento dos indivíduos do grupo, criamos duas tipologias a partir da categorização dos dados coletados. Concluímos que as pessoas do grupo tinham ação estratégica e foco em seu desenvolvimento profissional, o que é coerente com a estrutura Adhocrática de Mintzberg. As características de uma Adhocracia se mostraram positivas para uma área de treinamento de call center que atende a múltiplos clientes, conduzindo a equipe a ter foco mais estratégico, aumentando a autonomia e o engajamento, elevando o conhecimento, melhorando a comunicação, trazendo processos flexíveis e, como consequência, um resultado positivo para as operações atendidas.

Fatores que influenciam a intenção de compra online: aplicação de um modelo adaptado de aceitação da tecnologia para o comércio eletrônico

This research aims to understand the factors that influence intention to online purchase of consumers, and to identify between these factors those that influence the users and the nonusers of electronic commerce. Thus, it is an applied, exploratory and descriptive research, developed in a quantitative model. Data collection was done through a questionnaire administered to a sample of 194 graduate students from the Centre for Applied Social Sciences of UFRN and data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, confirmatory factorial analysis and simple and multiple linear regression analysis. The results of descriptive statistics revealed that respondents in general and users of electronic commerce have positive perceptions of ease of use, usefulness and social influence about buying online, and intend to make purchases on Internet over the next six months. As for the non-users of electronic commerce, they do not trust the Internet to transact business, have negative perceptions of risk and social influence over purchasing online, and does not intend to make purchases on Internet over the next six months. Through confirmatory factorial analysis six factors were set up: behavioral intention, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived risk, trust and social influence. Through multiple regression analysis, was observed that all these factors influence online purchase intentions of respondents in general, that only the social influence does not influence the intention to continue buying on the Internet from users of electronic commerce, and that only trust and social influence affect the intention to purchase online from non-users of electronic commerce. Through simple regression analysis, was found that trust influences perceptions of ease of use, usefulness and risk of respondents in general and users of electronic commerce, and that trust does not influence the perceptions of risk of non-users of electronic commerce. Finally, it was also found that the perceived ease of use influences perceived usefulness of the three groups. Given this scenario, it was concluded that it is extremely important that organizations that work with online sales know the factors that influence consumers purchasing intentions in order to gain space in their market

Desenvolvimento de um sistema para aplicação dos conceitos da tecnologia cad3d-bim na indústria moveleira

In this work was developed an information system to apply the concepts of CAD3D-BIM technology for the design activities of the furniture industry. The development of this system was based in an architecture comprised of two modules: a web interface to management the metadata of models from furniture's library and the combination of three-dimensional CAD software with a specific plugin to access the information from this model. To develop this system was also used a Data Base Management System (DBMS) designed to storage the information from models in a hierarchical way, based on concepts of Group Technology (GT). The centralization of information in a single database allows the automatic availability of any changes to all participants involved in a particular project when it‟s happens. Each module from system has its own connection to this database. Finally was developed a prototype from a 3D virtual environment to help create Virtual Reality projects in the web. A study from available technologies to create 3D web applications for execution in websites was done to support this development. The interconnection between modules and the database developed allowed the assembly of a system architecture to support the construction and exhibition of projects of the furniture industry in accordance with the concepts proposed by BIM (Building Information Modeling), using as object of study the furniture industry of state of Rio Grande do Norte

Aplicação da tecnologia eletroquímica como alternativa para a remoção de corante têxteis em efluentes sintéticos e reais utilizando anodos de platina e diamante

In this work, electrochemical technology was used to treat synthetic wastewater containing Methyl Red (MR) and Blue Novacron (BN) by anodic oxidation using anodes platinum (Pt) and real samples of textile effluents using DDB anodes and platinum (Pt). The removal of color from the galvanostatic electrolysis of synthetic wastewater MR and BN, and the actual sample has been observed under different conditions (different current densities and temperature variation). The investigation of these parameters was performed in order to establish the best conditions for removal of color and chemical oxygen demand (BOD). According to the results obtained in this study, the electrochemical oxidation processes suitable for the degradation process of color and COD in wastewater containing such textile dyes, because the electrocatalytic properties of Pt and BDD anodes consumption energy during the electrochemical oxidation of synthetic solutions AN and MR and real sample, mainly depend on the operating parameters of operation, for example, the synthetic sample of MR, energy consumption rose from 42,00kWhm-3 in 40 mAcm-2 and 25 C to 17,50 kWhm-3 in 40mAcm-2 and 40 C, from the BN went 17,83 kWhm-3 in 40mAcm and 40°C to 14,04 kWhm- 3 in 40mAcm-2 and 40 C (data estimated by the volume of treated effluent). These results clearly indicate the applicability of electrochemical treatment for removing dyes from synthetic solutions and real industrial effluents

Due to the need of more agility, dynamism and reliability in stock management, the market has turned its attention to RFID, which offers a practical solution and live up to the big corporations' expectations. The search for continuous improvement establishes a direct link with RFID, for its technology offers accurate real time information in any monitored given place. RFID is a radio frequency communication technology. A reader communicates to a tag through waves. This tag can be active, with a battery, or passive, in which its power is supplied by currents induced by the field variation it is exposed to. The RFID technology has a well defined basic principle, but there are many constructive ways of implementing it. The adaptability as well as the flexibility regard to the several kinds of stock in industry, reaching their particular needs. RFID can lower maintenance costs in stock by collecting data more accurately, lowering human error and optimizing the item handling at its reception, exit and while it is inside the company. This paper presents an example of RFID technology applied in a company's stock management. It is possible to prove that there are, in fact, great advantages in implementing this technology, as it creates the opportunity for continuous improvement in stock management, with better application of material, labour and quality tools, since the data collected through an automatized process using RFID are more reliable and dynamic
