Levantamento do desempenho logístico das PMEs da indústria de bens de capital: uma análise comparativa

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um levantamento sobre o desempenho logístico das PMEs da indústria de bens de capital. O desempenho logístico foi avaliado com base no grau de concordância das empresas frente às afirmações acerca das dimensões do desempenho logístico identificadas na literatura. Os resultados indicaram uma concordância maior das empresas frente a essas afirmações. Nas análises comparativas, foi observado que as médias de desempenho das PMEs pesquisadas distanciaram-se significativamente do padrão de excelência em logística. Adicionalmente, foram constatadas diferenças entre as médias de desempenho logístico nas comparações por segmento, porte e origem de capital das PMEs. Entre as implicações práticas e teóricas, destacam-se a necessidade de criação de parcerias entre as PMEs nacionais e estrangeiras e a oportunidade de se sistematizar as práticas de excelência em logística do setor, visando a sua transferência para as empresas de menor desempenho logístico.

Providing a consensus definition for the term "Smart Product"

The term "Smart Product" has become commonly used in recent years. This is because there has been an increasing interest in these kinds of products as part of the consumer goods industry, impacting everyday life and industry. Nevertheless, the term "Smart Product" is used with different meanings in different contexts and application domains. The use of the term "Smart Product" with different meanings and underlying semantics can create important misunderstandings and dissent. The aim of this paper is to analyze the different definitions of Smart Product available in the literature, and to explore and analyze their commonalities and differences, in order to provide a consensus definition that satisfies, and can therefore be used by, all parties. To embrace the identified definitions, the concept of "Smart Thing" is introduced. The methodology used was a systematic literature review. The definition is expressed as an ontology.

The regulatory environment of the section of the non-standardized goods market - The findings of an interview research on Hungarian construction industry small enterprises

In this paper the behavior of economic actors shown in the uncertain quality goods markets is examined from the perspective of the sociology of markets. The analysis uses the findings of in-depth interviews conducted in 2011 and 2012 respectively amongst small and medium size entrepreneurs working in construction industry. In the Hungarian construction industry neither formal rules, nor vocational chambers, are able to create a safe environment for entrepreneurs. Nevertheless, networks created as a result of micro-selection steps might be able to enforce the quality of services, observe deadlines and what is more, ensure payment discipline. In this market, the typical high risk can be reduced by relationships. Networks reduce also the cost of transactions, since the important part of the services in this field could only be standardized at significant costs.
