Processo de planejamento estratégico em universidade pública: o caso da Universidade Federal do Pará

The goal of this research is to check if the strategic planning developed between 2001 and 2009 into the State University of Para (Universidade Federal do Pará - UFPA) was consolidated into its Academic Centers as a management practice. To this end, we identified the planning formalization degree of the Academic Centers, the conceived tools for the planning, the conception and the methodological process used in the tools elaboration, as also its implementation. The research used a qualitative approach: it is descriptive and it uses the case study technique. The data were gathered from primary and secondary sources, through bibliography, documents, and field researches through semi-structure interviews. The analysis and data interpretation were done by each investigated Academic Center from the analytics categories guided by the specifics goals. We used theoretic fundamental based principles and the university as a study empiric reference based on its structure analysis, organizational processes and institutional strategic plan. We inspected how the strategic planning process was developed throughout the fixed period and how the investigated Academic Centers are from the collected documents and interviews. The theoretical foundation was built from three axis: the Brazilian undergraduate and posgraduate education system; the university itself including its singularity and complexity as an organization; and the planning as a strategic management process. The main results show us that the UFPA has updated regulatory milestones, presenting organizational structure, laws, instructions, manuals and deployed management model that give the strategic planning development conditions beyond its administration, i. e., into its Academic Centers. The centers also present those established milestones and develop the basic planning processes of the institution. Those processes are conceived based on the institutional strategic planning and the managers mainly use the procedural orientation defined by the university management, from where the conceptual foundation is originated and propagated. According to the literature and to the research done in this work, we can conclude that the Academic Centers from the UFPA developed the strategic planning practice. This planning is organized and founded and guided the plans and decisions which avoided the disordered management and, according to the managers, allowed the advances and performance improvement. We can conclude that the UFPA built an important foundation with respect to the management professionalization. On the other hand, we can not conclude that the management practice is consolidated since there are weaknesses into the structuring of the technical teams and there is not any management tool for the implementation of the elaborated plans

How do teachers prepare their students for statewide exit exams? A comparison of Finland, Ireland, and the Netherlands

Statewide exit exams are often believed to have a positive impact on school effectiveness and the alignment between instructional practice and state standards because of their mandatory nature and the stakes attached for students and teachers. They may also, however, lead to teaching to the test and to a perceived de-professionalization of the teaching role. While some studies suggest a narrowing of contents and an increase in teacher-centered instruction, little is known about how the impact on instructional practices and teacher cognitions varies between different exam systems. This study compares the strategies teachers use to prepare their students for the exams at the end of upper secondary education in Finland, Ireland, and the Netherlands using a standardized questionnaire survey with responses from 385 teachers. The goal was to develop hypotheses about the relationship between differences in the exam procedures and the stakes attached, and the differences in teacher preparation strategies. The results suggest country-specific variations regarding teacher beliefs as to how much time should be spent on exam preparation; however, there were smaller differences in the strategies applied. Regression analyses indicated that the way in which preparation intensity was associated with the stakes for students and schools, and the attitudes towards the exams themselves varied across the three countries. The different exam systems appeared to affect preparation in markedly different ways, but nevertheless led to the exercise of comparable strategies. (DIPF/Orig.)

„Schulinterne Unterstützungs- und Beratungsteams“ (SUBs) - konzeptionelle Skizzierungen im Kontext inklusiver Schulentwicklung, in Anlehnung an das kanadische Modell der Methods & Resource Teams

Mit der Ratifizierung der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention verpflichtet sich Deutschland seit 2009, ein inklusives Bildungssystem einzurichten. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist auf schulorganisatorischer Ebene ein heterogenes, multiprofessionelles Team mit entsprechenden Unterstützungsmaßnahmen und Unterstützungsrollen notwendig, das sich strukturell und personell abbildet. In diesem Beitrag werden - auf Basis des kanadischen "Methods & Resource Teams" - Überlegungen zu einer schulinternen und systemisch ausgerichteten Unterstützungrolle in Schule und Unterricht in Deutschland vorgestellt, die in die Konzeption eines "Schulinternen Unterstützungs- und Beratungsteams" (SUB) münden.

Pratiquer l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes au sein des organisations : étude de cas des ONG au Mali

Cette thèse analyse les pratiques d’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes au sein des organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) maliennes qui ont reçu du financement canadien. En effet, l’aide publique au développement a subi des transformations majeures depuis les années 1950. L’une de ces transformations a été le rôle important joué par les ONG dans les années 1990, à la suite de l’adoption des politiques d’ajustements structurels et de la fin de la monopolisation par l’État en ce qui a trait à l’aide publique pour les projets de développement. Entre autres, les ONG ont été sollicitées pour promouvoir les politiques d’égalité entre hommes et femmes. L’importance des ONG dans l’aide publique au développement a créé des relations de dépendances vis-à-vis des bailleurs de fonds qui imposent des conditionnalités. Nos résultats ont montré que les bailleurs de fonds exigent l’égalité entre les sexes en ce qui concerne les bénéficiaires des programmes, mais, paradoxalement, ne l’exigent pas à l’intérieur des ONG et dans leurs ressources humaines. En analysant la composition du personnel de huit ONG maliennes, nos résultats montrent que 34 % du personnel sont des femmes alors que 66 % sont des hommes, ce qui démontre un déséquilibre assez important en matière de parité. Cependant, une analyse plus fine nous indique que les pratiques d’égalité entre femmes et hommes dans les structures et dans la gestion des ressources humaines diffèrent d’une ONG à une autre. Ces pratiques dépendent beaucoup de la volonté et des valeurs des gestionnaires. Notre recherche a fait ressortir plusieurs explications de cette disparité au niveau de l’emploi des femmes. Les raisons souvent mentionnées étaient : 1) la nécessité d’avoir du personnel compétent, 2) la conciliation famille-travail, 3) le contexte socioculturel, 4) l’interprétation de la religion musulmane en matière d’égalité. En effet, nos résultats ont démontré que sous l’influence des bailleurs de fonds les ONG se sont professionnalisées, que l’impact de la professionnalisation a été différent selon le genre et que celle-ci s’est faite aux dépens des femmes. Ainsi, certains gestionnaires, quel que soit leur sexe, préfèrent recruter plus d’hommes parce qu’ils les jugent plus compétents.Nos résultats confirment la théorie du plafond de verre qui met en exergue le fait que les femmes ont de la difficulté à accéder à des postes de responsabilité. Nos résultats ont aussi démontré qu’au Mali, le contexte socioculturel et la religion jouent un grand rôle dans les relations sociales et surtout en ce qui concerne la place des femmes au sein de la société.

SME competitiveness: An internationalization strategy for Dom Pedro Hotels

This paper studies the internationalization process of Dom Pedro to South Brazil. The company’s strategy is critically assessed and it is argued that a professionalization of corporate strategic planning is needed regarding further internationalization. This finding combined with a regional macro environment and hotel industry scanning helps deriving success factors for an expansion to South Brazil. Building on those factors, the market is analyzed regarding the most favorable hotel location and typology and an implementation plan is proposed. It is concluded that a business hotel in Porto Alegre represents a reasonable investment opportunity, if connected to an improved strategic planning.

Crises and Crisis Generations: International Conflict and Military Participation in Politics

Why do states facing high levels of international threat sometimes have militaries that are heavily involved in politics and at other times relatively apolitical, professional militaries? I argue that the answer to this puzzle lies in a state's history of 'acute' international crises rather than its 'chronic' threat environment. Major international crises lead to professionalization and de-politicization of militaries in both the short- and long-term. International crises underscore the need for the military to defend the state and highlight military deficiencies in this regard. Accordingly, major international crises lead to military professionalization and withdrawal from politics in order to increase military effectiveness. This effect persists years, and decades, later due to generational shifts in the officer corps. As the "Crisis Generation" of officers become generals, they bring with them a preference for professionalization and de-politicization. They guide the military towards abstention from politics. I test this theory using a new global dataset on military officers in national governing bodies from 1964-2008 and find strong support for the theory. Major international crises lead to two waves of military withdrawal from government, years apart. Further statistical analysis finds that this effect is most strongly felt in the non-security areas of governing, while in some cases, international crises may lead to militaries increasing their involvement in security policy-making. Further, international crises that end poorly for a state — i.e., defeats or stalemates — are found to drive more rapid waves of military withdrawal from government. The statistical analysis is supported by a case illustration of civil-military relations in the People's Republic of China, which demonstrates that the crisis of the Korean War (1950-53) led to two waves of military professionalization and de-politicization, decades apart. The first occurred immediately after the war. The second wave, occurring in the 1980s, involved wholesale military withdrawal from governing bodies, which was made possible by the ascent of the "Crisis Generation" of officers in the military, who had served as junior officers in the Korean War, decades prior.

The dynamics of professions and development of new roles in public services organizations: the case of modern matrons in the English NHS

This study contributes to research examining how professional autonomy and hierarchy impacts upon the implementation of policy designed to improve the quality of public services delivery through the introduction of new managerial roles. It is based on an empirical examination of a new role for nurses – modern matrons – who are expected by policy-makers to drive organizational change aimed at tackling health care acquired infections (HCAI) in the National Health Service (NHS) within England. First, we show that the changing role of nurses associated with their ongoing professionalization limits the influence of modern matrons over their own ranks in tackling HCAI. Second, the influence of modern matrons over doctors is limited. Third, government policy itself appears inconsistent in its support for the role of modern matrons. The attempts of modern matrons to tackle HCAI appear more effective where infection control activity is situated in professional practice and where modern matrons integrate aspirations for improved infection control within mainstream audit mechanisms in a health care organization.

Análise do impacto da estrutura organizacional de dois hospitais públicos portugueses na execução dos seus objectivos, através da percepção dos seus colaboradores

O objetivo deste trabalho de investigação é o de procurar compreender o impacto da estrutura organizacional de dois hospitais públicos portugueses com diferentes figuras jurídicas, na execução dos seus objetivos, através da perceção dos seus colaboradores. De modo a atingirmos o nosso objetivo, recorremos à metodologia do estudo de caso, efetuado a cada um dos hospitais escolhidos. O principal instrumento de recolha de dados é o questionário, efetuado a uma população que é constituída por uma amostra aleatória simples e estratificada em classes de cada um dos hospitais. Para além de não terem sido encontradas diferenças significativas, nas áreas analisadas, entre os dois hospitais, este estudo revelou-nos ainda que a sua estrutura organizacional deve ser mais orgânica, no sentido de uma estrutura matricial, mantendo, no entanto, a parte burocrática que advêm da elevada profissionalização do seu pessoal e os principais mecanismos de coordenação. Este trabalho pretende dar um contributo no conhecimento da forma como os gestores dos hospitais podem controlar e modificar a estrutura e o desenho da organização e de que forma essas modificações podem vir a influenciar a execução dos seus objetivos. ABSCTRAT: The purpose of this research work is to seek to understand the organizational structure’s impact of two portuguese public hospitals, with different legal forms, in the implementation of their objectives through its collaborators' perception. ln order to achieve our purpose, we have used the case study methodology performed in each one of the chosen hospitals. The main instrument for data collection is the questionnaire, made to a population consisting of a simple and stratified into classes random sample from each one of the hospitals. Besides not having been found any significant differences between the two hospitals, this study has also revealed to us that its organizational structure should be more organic, towards a matrix structure, although maintaining the bureaucratic part arising from the high professionalization of its personnel and the main coordination mechanisms. This work aims to contribute to the knowledge of how hospital managers can control and modify the organization's structure and design and how those modifications may come to influence the implementation of their objectives.

Forças Armadas de Cabo Verde : O impacto económico e financeiro da profissionalização das Forças Armadas

O presente Trabalho de Investigação Aplicada intitulado “Forças Armadas de Cabo Verde. O impacto Económico e Financeiro da profissionalização das Forças Armadas”, surge no âmbito dos cursos ministrados na Academia Militar, e tem como objetivo principal estudar as Forças Armadas de Cabo Verde e identificar os impactos que a adoção de um modelo profissional pode ter no orçamento da Defesa. Este trabalho contém uma componente teórica que serve de sustentação à investigação, em que aborda aspetos importantes relativos à profissionalização das Forças Armadas, faz uma abordagem às Forças Armadas de Cabo Verde com base em legislação afeta às mesmas para se perceber quais os eventuais impactos que podem advir da adoção do modelo profissional, e as suas implicações no orçamento da Defesa Nacional. A segunda componente comporta uma pesquisa e recolha de dados e informação através de entrevistas que permitiram obter as conclusões e responder ao problema de estudo. Da análise teórica e dos dados recolhidos verifica-se que a adoção de um modelo profissional nas Forças Armadas de Cabo Verde implica uma alteração nos processos de recrutamento atualmente existente, estabelecendo requisitos para a entrada na Instituição Militar, tendo em conta as necessidades da mesma sendo que, a adoção deste modelo também tem implicações nos salários. Assim, concluímos que a adoção deste modelo implica uma alteração significativa no orçamento da Defesa, resultante do aumento dos gastos com o pessoal militar das Forças Armadas, e do maior investimento que deverá ser feito em tecnologias, na formação e treino dos quadros, pelo que o Estado deve encontrar formas para suportar tais custos. Também verifica-se que a adoção deste modelo permite uma redução da taxa de desemprego na sociedade, aumenta o poder de compra dos militares, contribuindo assim para a dinamização da economia, fornecendo ainda um clima de segurança favorecendo os investimentos, sendo por isso considerado uma mais-valia.
