The dimensions of trust in interorganizational relationships: how buyer and supplier perspectives differ?

Apesar da pesquisa em confian��a interorganizacional e sua rela����o com performance ter sido conduzida sob as perspectivas da Teoria de Custos de Transa����o, Teoria das Trocas Sociais e Canais de Marketing, tr��s importantes lacunas na literatura requerem investiga����o. Primeiro, est�� em andamento um debate conceitual sobre a multi-dimensionalidade da confian��a, e como ela deve ser operacionalizada e medida, e que se divide em tr��s correntes de pensamento - um construto multidimensional definido por dimens��es n��o dominantes, um construto baseado em duas dimens��es dominantes (afetiva e calculativa), ou um construto unidimensional. Segundo, existe ambiguidade em como as dimens��es da confian��a s��o definidas, levando a artefatos de equival��ncia nas escalas e resultados contradit��rios. Terceiro, as diferentes percep����es que compradores e fornecedores podem ter em cada dimens��o da confian��a e seu impacto na performance log��stica ainda n��o est��o claros. Esta pesquisa emp��rica examina a confian��a nas rela����es entre compradores e fornecedores no setor de log��stica no Brasil, atrav��s de duas amostras e estudos independentes: um examina a percep����o dos compradores e o outro examina a dos fornecedores. Em seguida, os dois estudos s��o comparados para determinar as diferentes perspectivas da confian��a e as implica����es na performance log��stica. A an��lise multivariada mostrou que a confian��a parece estar presente nas rela����es interorganizacionais, e �� a percep����o do comprador que possui maior rela����o com a performance log��stica. Ao mesmo tempo, compradores percebem fornecedores de forma mais negativa nas dimens��es mensur��veis (compet��ncia e performance), enquanto n��o foram encontradas diferen��as nos aspectos sociais (honestidade e benevol��ncia), o que pode ser resultado do ambiente e cultura pesquisados. As an��lises mostraram que, apesar da confian��a poder ser definida como um construto multidimensional, ela deve ser operacionalizada como um construto unidimensional direcionado pela compet��ncia e credibilidade. Este estudo contribui para a pr��tica sugerindo formas de aumentar a confian��a interorganizacional para aumento da performance.

O debate da maioridade penal no Congresso Nacional: mapeamento das propostas legislativas

O debate a respeito da maioridade penal no Congresso Nacional vai al��m da discuss��o da Proposta de Emenda Constitucional n�� 171 de 1993, uma vez que a conjuntura social e pol��tica, somada ao contexto deliberativo da proposta na C��mara dos Deputados, reacendeu o di��logo na sociedade. Diante disso, realiza-se um mapeamento da discuss��o da maioridade penal para se saber a extens��o da disputa no Congresso Nacional. Para tanto, foram coletados dados e informa����es disponibilizados pela C��mara dos Deputados e pelo Senado Federal, identificando-se as propostas de emenda constitucional e os projetos de lei que abordam a quest��o da diminui����o da idade m��nima para a responsabiliza����o penal. Ademais, a partir dessa sele����o de propostas e projetos legislativos foi poss��vel identificar aspectos pertinentes acerca do debate, como o posicionamento dos parlamentares e dos partidos pol��ticos, os argumentos trazidos por ambas as partes da discuss��o e os interesses que poder��o ser atingidos pela redu����o da idade penal. Al��m disso, �� feito um breve estudo relativo ao Estatuto da Crian��a e do Adolescente e �� contextualiza����o da criminalidade juvenil no Brasil, visando facilitar o dimensionamento da discuss��o que se desenvolve no Congresso a respeito da inimputabilidade penal das crian��as e dos adolescentes garantidos pela Constitui����o Federal e pelo Estatuto da Crian��a e do Adolescente. Quest��es importantes, como a Doutrina da Prote����o Integral e os fatores que explicam a criminalidade juvenil, s��o abrangidos para dar suporte ao mapeamento e �� coer��ncia do presente trabalho.

Das "belezas que emanam dos jardins suspensos de Ipanema e Copacabana": pol��ticas governamentais, demandas por mem��ria e produ����o do espa��o no Museu de Favela do Pav��o-Pav��ozinho e Cantagalo.

O foco central desta tese �� a an��lise sobre a sistematiza����o e uso da mem��ria nas favelas Pav��o-Pav��ozinho e Cantagalo, localizadas na Zona Sul da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, tanto quanto a institucionaliza����o destas mem��rias no Museu de Favela (MUF). Neste trabalho, procuro investigar como se estruturam pol��ticas governamentais em torno da categoria ���museologia social��� que possibilitam a realiza����o de projetos mobilizando demandas por visibilidade e reconhecimento. Tais demandas s��o encampadas por sujeitos que comp��em segmentos marginalizados da sociedade e t��m como objeto principal a publiciza����o de mem��rias das favelas. Problematizo as estrat��gias utilizadas pelos agentes para realizar a����es que t��m a mem��ria como ���legado��� de projetos de interven����o urbana, al��m de analisar suas maneiras de produzir novos significados e pr��ticas no espa��o da favela.

The price of threat: the role of identity-safe marketplaces in predicting intergroup price sensitivity

In field experiments with subjects living either inside or outside Brazilian slums (n=955), we show that consumers living in slums are less price sensitive, in opposition with recent price sensitivity research. Comparing slum and non-slum dwellers, we found that negatively stereotyped consumers (e.g. slum dwellers) were more likely to pay higher amounts for friendlier customer service when facing social identity threats (SITs) in marketplaces such as banks. The mechanism which makes them less price sensitive is related to the perception of how other people evaluate their social groups, and we argue that they pay more because they are seeking identity-safe commercial relationships. This work, besides extending the literature in SITs, presents a perspective for the exchange between economics and psychology on price sensitivity, showing that consumers living in slums are willing to pay more to avoid possibly social identity threating experiences.

Hist��rias e relatos sobre Pipa: a praia internacional do Rio Grande do Norte

The overwhelming gear that boosted tourism as the main economic activity of Pipa a district formerly agricultural and fishery, that belongs to the municipality of Tibau do Sul/RN produced significant changes in the social, economic and cultural rights of the native population of the place where social relations were narrow and justified in some cases, the line of kinship in an environment where all residents knew each other. However, we can not observe the emergence of this activity just as voracious disarticulator of old local forms of sociability that in a linear process, destroys the old, replacing it with the new. New compositions are generated by merging elements of past and present. Overcoming opposition to simplistic positive or negative impacts of tourism sought especially in this dissertation, review the history of Pipa (told in narrative form), showing how slowly this district has become a major international tourist destination and how its residents were being swallowed by the "whirlwind" that led to this reality. The research used qualitative methodology and was based on photographic, literature and survey, observation, experience, oral and written reports acquired in the field. We conducted in-depth interviews (oral history) with subjects that are the living memory of the place local residents (mostly natives). We found that before the process of "modernization" resulting from the pressure of globalization itself and the capital investment in tourism resulting from the native population is not passive. On the contrary, natives resist, creating mechanisms of material and symbolic reformulations. The present moment is always dynamic. Because of that, the identity of a place is not the crystallization of its past. Many landscapes still reveal materialities of yesteryear, such as registration of social practices in the construction of the place

O SABOR DO SANGUE: uma an��lise sociocultural do chouri��o sertanejo

Cette ��tude propose de r��aliser une lecture du chouri��o, une confiture faite avec du sang, fabriqu��e et consomm��e dans tout le Serid�� potiguar. Grace �� l observation ethnographique r��alis��e entre 2003 et 2007, nous d��couvrons une ��conomie domestique, une organisation sociale, des formes de sociabilit�� et de solidarit�� contruites autour de l ��levage des porcs et des pratiques culinaires. Cette observation a aussi r��v��l�� un style alimentaire, des discours, des perceptions, des go��ts et des comportements relatifs �� la consommation de la confiture qui r��sultent, em grande partie, de la relation dynamique entre une norme id��alis��e et des pratiques observ��es qui ont montr�� des tensions et des contradictions entre ce qui est dit et ce qui est fait. Avec l ��tude du chouri��o, nous re��lisons une lecture de la culture alimentaire; notre intention a ��t�� de probl��matiser l applicabilit�� des normes sociales et leur inscription dans la r��alit��. Ainsi, em faisant une analyse simbolique du chouri��o, nous consid��rons ensemble les aspects sociaux et symboliques et nous d��crivons comment les habitants du Serid�� pensent leur alimentation en corr��lation avec les pratiques alimentaires et les formes de sociabilit��. L ��tude a r��v��l�� que les pr��ncipes de confiance et d interconnaissance, fond��s sur les liens sociaux, structurent les relations constitu��es autour de l ��levage des porcs et de la production, de la distribution et de la consommation du chouri��o. D un point de vue symbolique, le sang est central dans le style alimentaire: il appara��t comme une anti-nourriture et r��v��le des prohibitions et des transgressions. La contrastivit�� entre les pratiques et les discours est en relation directe avec la nature du chouri��o, fait avec le sang du porc et consid��r�� comme un dessert

Qu��o romance �� minha vida amorosa! : namoro virtual e narrativas

This research aims to acknowledge the virtual dating phenomenon. The research deals with this phenomenon in Orkut, a social networking website. Thus, it considers debates and forums that were present in a Brazilian Orkut online community called Conheci meu amor pela internet (I met my love through the Internet). As a staring point the research dealt with issues such as: what are the debates about? How can we deal with practices that question their own dating process? According to the initial hypothesis, these debates reveal different contemporary social aspects: 1) they emerge as a response to demands on behalf of a society that is rather reflexive. This reflexive element is fundamental for the constitution of the self 2) these debates work as support elements in social relations that are built upon this sphere. In this context, individuals write about themselves and constitute themselves as real individuals that acquire a sense as subjects; and 3) people discuss online dating as form reconstructing former experiences. Empirical analysis demonstrates that these forums and polls present themselves as a social phenomenon that allows a particular form of self presentation on the internet. In order for these subjects to present themselves they built their own self narratives. What is possible to acknowledge considering these narratives is that there is a predominance of the element of intrigue that is further solved and demonstrate a satisfactory result. These narrators then choose online dating situation that present happy endings and happiness that are associated to romantic ideals that are worthwhile being shown. The contents present in these narratives are dealt with by the research. Thus, this work defends the thesis that the online dating narratives are a mixture of facts and fiction once all experiences deal with romantic imaginary as well as personal dating experience. Thus, the research is an attempt to understand what goes on the forums and debates that deal with the fictionalized and dramatized daily experiences in the performances that are similar to games. This is possible due to the fact that there is use of romantic fables and concrete experiences realized by online dating

O princ��pio constitucional da livre concorr��ncia como instrumento de desenvolvimento socioecon��mico

The freedom of concurrence, firstly conceived as a simple market fundament in productive systems that recognized the productive forces freedom of action, appears as a clear instrument of protection and fomentation of the market, recognizing the importance of the simultaneous existence of various economic forces such the proper capitalism reason of constitution. It has, thus, a directly role linked to the fundamental idea that the market and its productive forces needed of a protection against itself, because it exists inside the market situations and circumstances, provoked or not, that could prejudice and even annihilate the its existence and functioning, whilst a complex role of productive forces presents at all economic creation space. It was the primacy of the classic liberalism, the first phase of the capitalism. The Constitutions, in that historic moment, did not proclaim any interference at the economic scenario, simply because it recognized the existence of an economic freedom prepared to justify and guarantee the market forces, with its own rules. Based on the structural changes that occurred at the following historic moments, inside the constitutionally recognized capitalism, it was verified changes in the ambit of treatment of the freedom of concurrence principle that, in a progressive way, passes to present a configuration more concerned with socialist and developing ideas, as long as not only a market guarantee. It emerges a freedom of concurrence which aim is instrumental, in relation to its objectives and constitutional direction as a role, and not anymore stagnant and with isolated treatment, in special at the constitutional systems the present s clear aspects of social interventions and guarantor of fundamental rights more extensive and harmonious. That change is located at a space of state actuation much more ample and juridical important, this time comprehending the necessity of managing the productive scenario aiming to reach a national social and economic development effectively guarantor of fundamental rights for all citizens. Those Constitutions take as point of starting that the social and economic development, and not only anymore the economic growth, is the effective way for concretization of these rights. In that way it needs to be observed and crystallized by political and juridical tools that respect the ideological fundamental spirit of the Constitutional Charters. In that scenario that seeks for solutions of rights accomplishment, in special the social rights, the constitutional principle of freedom of concurrence has been seen as an instrument for reaching bigger values and directives, such as the social justice, which only can be real at a State that can implement a comprehensive and permanent social and economic development. The freedom of concurrence tries to valorize and defend something larger and consonant to the political values expressed in the Constitutional Charters with social character, which is the right to a social and economical sustainable development, guarantor of more clear and compromised collective benefits with social justice. The origin of that constitutional imposition is not only supported by vague orientations of the economic space, but as integrated to it, with basis formed of normative and principles posted and prepared to produce effects at the proper reason of the Constitution
