El periodismo deportivo condicionado por la gestión comunicativa de los clubes de fútbol: el caso del FC Barcelona

Las relaciones entre los gabinetes de Comunicación de los clubes de fútbol y los periodistas deportivos se enmarcan en el modelo de Gieber y Johnson (1961) por el que el hecho de que ambos compartan objetivos comunes, donde los gabinetes de Comunicación necesitan que los medios publiquen determinadas informaciones y los periodistas precisan de noticias que publicar, provoca una pérdida de independencia por parte de los periodistas, ya que necesitan a esos departamentos como fuentes. En la actualidad, los departamentos de Comunicación de los clubes de fútbol, como el del FC Barcelona, se han constituido en gatekeepers. Esto ha acentuado las históricas diferencias que existen entre los periodistas y los profesionales de la comunicación corporativa, incrementado por el control informativo de estos departamentos lo que provoca constantes tensiones entre ambos.

A confiança interorganizacional nas compras

This research is part of the field of organizational studies, focusing on organizational purchase behavior and, specifically, trust interorganizational at the purchases. This topic is current and relevant by addressing the development of good relations between buyer-supplier that increases the exchange of information, increases the length of relationship, reduces the hierarchical controls and improves performance. Furthermore, although there is a vast literature on trust, the scientific work that deal specifically at the trust interorganizational still need further research to synthesize and validate the variables that generate this phenomenon. In this sense, this investigation is to explain the antecedents of trust interorganizational by the relationship between the variable operational performance, organizational characteristics, shared values and interpersonal relationships on purchases by manufacturing industries, in order to develop a robust literature, most consensual, that includes the current sociological and economic, considering the effect of interpersonal relationships in this phenomenon. This proposal is configured in a new vision of the antecedents of interorganizational trust, described as significant quantitative from models Morgan and Hunt (1994), Doney and Cannon (1997), Zhao and Cavusgil (2006) and Nyaga, Whipple, Lynch (2011), as well as qualitative analysis of Tacconi et al. (2011). With regard to methodological aspects, the study assumes the form of a descriptive, survey type, and causal trace theoretical and empirical. As for his nature, the investigation, explicative character, has developed a quantitative approach with the use of exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling SEM, with the use of IBM software SPSS Amos 18.0, using the method of maximum verisimilitude, and supported by technical bootstraping. The unit of analysis was the buyer-supplier relationship, in which the object under investigation was the supplier organization in view of the purchasing company. 237 valid questionnaires were collected among key informants, using a simple random sampling developed in manufacturing industries (SIC 10-33), located in the city of Natal and in the region of Natal. The first results of descriptive analysis demonstrate the phenomenon of interorganizational trust, in which purchasing firms believe, feel secure about the supplier. This demonstration showed high levels of intensity, predominantly among the vendors that supply the company with materials that are used directly in the production process. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, performed on each variable alone, generated a set of observable and unobservable variables more consistent, giving rise to a model, that needed to be further specified. This again specify model consists of trajectories was positive, with a good fit, with a composite reliability and variance extracted satisfactory, and demonstrates convergent and discriminant validity, in which the factor loadings are significant and strong explanatory power. Given the findings that reinforce the model again specify data, suggesting a high probability that this model may be more suited for the study population, the results support the explanation that interorganizational trust depends on purchases directly from interpersonal relationships, sharing value and operating performance and indirectly of personal relationships, social networks, organizational characteristics, physical and relational aspect of performance. It is concluded that this trust can be explained by a set of interactions between these three determinants, where the focus is on interpersonal relationships, with the largest path coefficient for the factor under study

Sistema de informação para gestão das atividades e suporte à decisão das equipas comerciais

Esta dissertação enquadra-se na área do Customer Relationship Management (CRM), no domínio aplicacional do Sales Force Automation (SFA), em um operador móvel de telecomunicações no suporte à rede comercial. Assim, esta dissertação investiga de que forma a introdução de uma ferramenta SFA em um operador móvel de telecomunicações poderá resolver a enorme dificuldade que a empresa tem em obter informações fiáveis e atempadas. A incapacidade em obter esta informação não permite aos gestores tomar decisões em resposta a alterações súbitas do mercado. Por outro lado, os seus delegados comerciais que suportam os agentes não têm uma ferramenta que organize as suas agendas, e a disponibilização de informação útil e atualizada nas suas visitas aos agentes. Assim, foi decidido investigar qual o impacto resultante da introdução de uma ferramenta SFA, que em tempo real auxilie os gestores na tomada de decisão, na disponibilização de informação que suporte as reuniões dos delegados com os seus agentes, bem como no planeamento e agendamento dessas mesmas reuniões. Foi demonstrada uma relação positiva entre a utilização do SFA e a produtividade dos delegados. Esta alteração de hábitos comportamentais, bem como a disponibilidade de informação permitindo uma melhor monitorização sobre o desempenho dos agentes, afetou positivamente a capacidade de tomada de decisão, tendo provocado um incremento na eficiência das visitas aos agentes, e resultando na melhoria dos indicadores mais importantes da empresa.

Os clientes não procuram apenas um produto, pretendem um atendimento personalizado de acordo com as suas necessidades. Atualmente, muitas empresas recorrem ao Marketing Relacional, que é uma mais-valia que as permite ser únicas em relação à concorrência. Com o Marketing Relacional surge a ferramenta CRM, uma das ferramentas que melhor se adapta quando o objetivo é desenvolver um relacionamento sustentável e duradouro com os clientes. A identificação de ações de fidelização é também algo muito importante para as empresas que procuram posicionar-se e diferenciar-se melhor que os seus concorrentes, gerando mais lucros e, também uma melhor satisfação aos seus clientes. Estas são essenciais para o bom desempenho de uma organização, é através destas ações que uma empresa utiliza mais adequadamente os seus recursos, minimizando os problemas e maximizando as oportunidades que surgirão. Estas têm uma importante função entre as empresas e os clientes, os concorrentes e os stakholders, ou seja, focam explicitamente a vantagem competitiva e a vantagem de clientes em longo prazo. Ainda que adaptado a uma empresa em evolução, as ações que irão ser propostas no relatório são possíveis de ser concretizadas, mas terá de se ter em conta o meio ambiente, economia e crescimento de mercado. Pelo facto do hotel não constituir nenhum modelo de implementação de ações de CRM específico, este relatório de estágio pode ser considerado uma mais-valia e um avanço no crescimento a longo prazo da mesma, permitindo assim um relacionamento duradouro entre o hotel e o cliente.

Identificación de redes nacionales y mundiales de distribución de petróleo y gas natural y su relación con la conformación de comunidades

El presente proyecto investiga la relación entre las organizaciones con el medio y marketing, para lo cual se debe mencionar el conflicto de intereses de la comunidad y de la organización, y como se intenta percibir a la organización como un buen vecino dentro de la comunidad. A su vez éste estudio cuenta con objetivos basados en la identificación de redes de distribución de petróleo y gas natural, tanto nacionales como internacionales, para así abarcar un sector estratégico más preciso, y mostrar las relación entre las organizaciones y la conformación de comunidades. Se tienen en cuenta factores elementales en el estudio de este sector energético, como son sus principales componentes, así como un marco teórico específico que permita desarrollar el concepto de conformación de comunidades para lograr una exitosa aplicación del mismo. Del mismo modo se incluirán temas relacionados con marketing, pero desde un punto de vista más cercano a la comunidad, tomando los medios y el marketing como un concepto más importante en el impacto de las organizaciones en la comunidad, es decir tomando el concepto de marketing como aquellas comunidades que rodean las organizaciones, como éstas dos interactúan, y que impactos tienen una sobre la otra. De la misma manera se tienen resultados en cuanto a planteamientos más profundos sobre conceptos de marketing que no son desarrollados muy a menudo, los cuales conservan su esencia fundamental y siguen impactando en silencio a las organizaciones, pero que si lo estudiamos y aprovechamos de algún modo lograremos beneficios para nuestra organización y para los intereses colectivos.

Proyecto de Emprendimiento Unicornio

La idea de negocio consiste en la fabricación y venta al público de maletines personalizables, que el cliente pueda escoger su el color, material, forma e inclusive su estampado, cuántos bolsillos debería tener y dónde los debe tener. Lo que hace que el proyecto sea sostenible en el tiempo consiste en los diseños creativos e innovadores, además del hecho de que la producción no se va realizar en masa y cada diseño va ser pensado en su dueño gracias a las características que el cliente pone en el diseño y también en el proceso de interacción con el cliente, de manera que se le aplicará un cuestionario que nos diga más de para qué lo usa y cómo espera que sea. Así pues la gran ventaja la hace el capital humano y la especialización del producto y sus accesorios a unas necesidades puntuales. El proyecto está en estado de creación aún, sin embargo se ha dialogado con posibles proveedores, entre ellos el fabricante de maletines “ZAKbolsos” quien ha expresado poder hacer posible la voluntad de fabricar bajo pedido sin número de unidades determinada de un modelo específico modelo que es similar al que actualmente aplican que es fabricación sobre pedido del cliente y venta en punto físico, con más de 5 años de experiencia en el sector, y además con experiencia en producción para empresas. En cuanto aliado se tiene a la empresa de David Vargas, llamada Guio quien tiene la experiencia en pauta de mercadeo, desarrollo de producto y posicionamiento del mismo. David Vargas tiene la profesión de diseñador industrial, y finalmente el emprendedor (yo), quien es administrador de negocios internacionales. La inversión se va poder recuperar en 36 meses, puesto que la inversión de capital en el primer periodo es intensivo y esto se calcula con la venta de 14 maletines al mes, lo cual es aceptable teniendo en cuenta que el mercado crece a cifras del 12% anual. El margen de contribución es del 43% y la TIR es de 38%. Adicionalmente la flexibilidad financiera es grande puesto que no hay mayores costos fijos aparte del sueldo del emprendedor. La empresa va crecer a través de posicionamiento de marca y diferenciación de diseños con la competencia que en general tiende a llegar al cliente corporativo en vez de al cliente final con esta propuesta de personalización. Las ventajas competitivas van a ser sustentadas en la orientación al cliente, en hacerle percibir al mismo una calidad superior y una propuesta que se base en la diferenciación y el posicionamiento de marca.

The mediating effect of environmental and ethical behaviour on supply chain partnership decisions and management appreciation of supplier partnership risks

Green supply chain management and environmental and ethical behaviour (EEB), a major component of corporate responsibility (CR), are rapidly developing fields in research and practice. The influence and effect of EEB at the functional level, however, is under-researched. Similarly, the management of risk in the supply chain has become a practical concern for many firms. It is important that managers have a good understanding of the risks associated with supplier partnerships. This paper examines the effect of firms’ investment in EEB as part of corporate social responsibility in mediating the relationship between supply chain partnership (SCP) and management appreciation of the risk of partnering. We hypothesise that simply entering into a SCP does not facilitate an appreciation of the risk of partnering and may even hamper such awareness. However, such an appreciation of the risk is facilitated through CR’s environmental and stakeholder management ethos. The study contributes further by separating risk into distinct relational and performance components. The results of a firm-level survey confirm the mediation effect, highlighting the value to supply chain strategy and design of investing in EEB on three fronts: building internal awareness, monitoring and sharing best practice.

Give some to get some - Analysing the relationship between worker satisfaction with human resources management and perceived individual performance in a Portuguese hospital

The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between the satisfaction with HRM practices in an organization and the workers' perceived performance. We are interested in learning if indeed workers that are more satisfied with the organization’s practices will also perceive themselves as more hardworking than others, thus confirming the happy-productive worker hypothesis, from an individual perception standpoint. Data originates from a large Portuguese hospital, with a sample of 952 clinical and nonclinical hospital workers. Data was originally explored using SPSS software and later tested in AMOS software where a multiple regression model was constructed and tested. Results indicate that overall satisfaction with HRM practices are related with the workers’ perceived performance; most of the HRM satisfaction subscales also relate, except for pay and performance appraisal, that do not seem to be good predictors of the workers perceived performance. The present study is based on a single large public hospital, and thus, these findings need to be further tested in other settings. This study offers some clues regarding the areas of HRM that seem to be more related with the workers’ perceived performance, and hence provide an interesting framework for managers dealing with healthcare teams. This study contributes to the happy-productive worker hypothesis research, by including seldom used variables in the equation and taking a different perspective. Results provide new clues for investigation and practice regarding the areas of action in HRM that seem to be more prone to elicit perceived effort from the workers.

Impact of Supplier Management Strategies on the Organizational Performance of ISO 9001 Certified Organizations

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to discuss the impact of Supplier orientation and the resulting Supply Chain Management (SCM) approach, on the organizational performance of ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems certified organizations. Methodology/Approach: Following a literature review, a full structural conceptual model was proposed. An online survey was administered to managers of Portuguese organizations with certified ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems. Descriptive Statistics and Structural Model Equations were used to validate the proposed conceptual model. Findings: There are positive relationships between Organization Strategy and Supplier Orientation, between Supplier Orientation and Stakeholders Satisfaction, and between Stakeholders Satisfaction and Organizational Performance Orientation, supporting ISO 9001:2015. These findings provide insights that supplier orientation, mediated by stakeholder satisfaction, is an essential tool for organizational competitive sustainable advantage. Research Limitation/implication: The analysis was based on managers of ISO 9001 certified organizations perceptions, so additional studies with actual data and longitudinal studies should be useful for further validation. Originality/Value of paper: The importance of the overall organizational ecosystem is highlighted with potential impact on the more than 1 Million ISO 9001 organizations certified worldwide and in their suppliers.

Environmental requirements and environmental management system of boiler plant supplier

Työn tärkeimpänä tavoitteena oli edistää ympäristöjärjestelmän laatimista Kvaerner Pulping, Power divisioonan Kattilat-liiketoimintayksikölle. Lisäksi tavoitteena oli tarkastella yritykseen kohdistuvia ympäristövaatimuksia ja niiden vaikutusta yrityksen toimintaan. Aluksi työssä tarkasteltiin ympäristöjärjestelmästandardien sisältöjä ja niiden eroja. Työssä käsiteltiin myös erilaisia elinkaarijohtamisen malleja, joita voidaan hyödyntää yrityksen kokonaisvaltaisessa ympäristöjärjestelmässä. Työssä tarkasteltiin myös sidosryhmien vaikutusta yrityksen ympäristötoimintaan. Kattilalaitostoimittajan tärkeimpiä asiakkaita ovat sellu- ja paperiteollisuus. Näihin yrityksiin on kohdistunut runsaan kymmenen vuoden aikana paineita ympäristötoiminnan tehostamiseksi. Tämän kehityksen seurauksena vastaavat tehostamispaineet ovat siirtymässä myös alihankkijoille, kuten kattilaitostoimittajille. Tehokkaan ympäristöjohtamisen takaamiseksi työssä määriteltiin ympäristövastuut ja –valtuudet sekä ympäristöpäämäärät ja –tavoitteet. Lisäksi tunnistettiin yrityksen toimintaan liittyvät ympäristönäkökohdat ja –riskit. Työn yhteydessä laadittiin ympäristöjärjestelmän luonnos, ja se sisältää jatkuvan parantamisen periaatteen. Työn yhteydessä laadittiin lisäksi Kvaerner Pulping Oy:n koelaitokselle ympäristölupahakemus. Työssä on kuvattu koelaitosta ja sen ympäristölupahakemukseen liittyviä asioita esimerkkinä parantuneesta ympäristöasioiden hoidosta.
