A influência do processo de terceirização de tecnologia da informação na utilização dos modelos de contratação de serviços: um estudo de casos múltiplos

The change in the economic world and the emergence of Internet as a tool for communication and integration among the markets have forced organizations to adopt a different structure, process-oriented with a focus on information management. Thus, information technology has gained prominence in the organizational context, increasing its complexity and range of services provided by this function. Moreover, outsourcing has become an important model for flexible corporate structure, helping organizations to achieve better results when carrying out their activities and processes and be more competitive. To make the IT outsourcing, it is necessary to follow certain steps that range from strategic assessment to the management of outsourced service. Such steps can influence the form of contracting services, varying the types of service providers and contractors. Thus, the study aimed to identify how this IT outsourcing process influences the use of models for contracting services. For this, a study was conducted in multiple cases study involving two companies in Rio Grande do Norte State, specifically the health sector. Data collection was carried out with the CIOs of the companies surveyed through semi-structured interviews. According to the results obtained, it was found that the outsourcing process more structured influences the use of a more advanced contracting model. However, there are features found in these steps carrying more clearly this influence, as the goals pursued by outsourcing, the criteria used in selecting the supplier, a contract negotiation, how to transition services and the use of methods management, but can vary depending on the level of maturity in the relationship of the companies examined. Moreover, it was found that the use of contracting model may also influence how it is developed the IT outsourcing process, requiring or not its more formalized and organization

Racionalidade substantiva no processo decisório: um estudo em instituições que lidam com o tratamento oncológico infantojuvenil na cidade de Natal-RN

The present study regards an applied social research (qualitative) performed in two institutions which lead children s cancer treatment in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. The main goal of this study is, as of a literature review at works which characterizes the first generations of study about substantive rationality, to detect Decision Making process related aspects that may serve as a basis to elaborate analysis categories from decision making process, aggregating them into a new study that may provide an advance to the theme in administrative science. The academic works based on the analysis model created by Mauricio Serva served as a basis to deep research into such theme, which verifies the predominant rationality in eleven administrative internal processes in productive organizations. This dissertation intends to go beyond the identification of the predominant rationality by elaborating new categories of analysis, and making possible the continuity of the subject in administrative science. Based on Guerreiro Ramos s work, which sees a kind of ideal organization, as known as isonomies, this study still calls upon Karl Polanyi s thoughts, which with the objective of comprehending the independent economic phenomenon of the value that allows considering non-market economies, find that the economy of the men is submerged in his social relations; it also rescues the studies from Max Weber who investigates the meaning of social action to better understand the rationality, and refers to the study of Jürgen Habermas, who proposes a broader conception about rationality, within the theory of communicative action. As a result of this theme s review, seven analysis categories of the decision making process have been formulated. They were applied in the institutions that had been chosen and helped to detect the type of predominant rationality in the categories of the decision making process. The results confirm that, although the decisions making process involves rational elements, such as information, identification of alternatives, there are also specific values of each individual with his experience and view oh the world, permeated not only by instrumental rationality, but also by substantive rationality. The study has verified that two similar institutions may show different types of rationality in the decision making process, when decision factors may tend to instrumental rationality, according to administration classic way, as well as they may emerge from substantive rationality, thus contributing to the process of emancipation of the human being in his sphere of work

Organização parlamentar, processo decisório e produção legislativa no cenário político capixaba : uma análise da Assembléia do Estado do Espírito Santo na 16ª legislatura (2007-2010)

Esta pesquisa é um estudo sobre o processo legislativo e a produção de leis na ALES, durante a 16ª Legislatura. O escopo do estudo foi o de analisar o impacto das regras, contidas no regimento interno e na Constituição estadual, na produção de leis entre 2007 e 2010. O pressuposto geral da abordagem advém do Novo Intitucionalismo como movimento teórico da Ciência Política contemporânea, que nos permite inferir que as regras institucionais, para além de serem simples regras de organização das Casas Legislativas, influenciam no processo decisório e, consequentemente, na produção de leis. Importando as análises dos modelos distributivo, informacional e partidário de organização dos Legislativos, a pesquisa permitiu concluir que, a ALES, de 2007 a 2010, manteve seus trabalhos alinhados à versão distributiva. O parlamentar capixaba atuou, individualmente, a fim de manter suas bases eleitorais. Com relação à atuação do sistema comissional, foi identificada a inaptidão das comissões da ALES para influenciar o processo decisório. As comissões permanentes não possuem capacidade de moldar os projetos que por elas tramitam. O regime de tramitação influencia diretamente a produção de leis da ALES, notadamente, nas leis de autoria do Executivo, já que estas, tramitaram, quase que na totalidade, em regime de urgência. No que tange aos partidos, a fragmentação partidária identificada na ALES acaba por refletir nos dados obtidos sobre a produção de leis, na medida em que não existe uma verdadeira articulação em torno dos partidos como atores determinantes no processo legislativo da ALES. Enfim, em apertada síntese, foi possível constatar a imposição da agenda de trabalhos pelo Executivo. Os projetos aprovados, de temas importantes e abrangência estadual, foram, em sua maioria, propostos pelo Executivo; a urgência impacta frontalmente os projetos do Executivo, que são aprovadas em pequeno espaço de tempo; as comissões não possuem poder mínimo de influência nos projetos de autoria do Executivo; e os partidos, altamente fragmentados, não constituem instância com capacidade de articulação.

O Balanced Scorecard como Instrumento de Medida de Desempenho das Forças Policiais – Estudo de Casos

O objectivo central deste artigo consiste em analisar o papel de um sistema de medida de desempenho que tem sido referido na literatura em Contabilidade e Gestão Pública como tendo um elevado potencial na melhoria do desempenho organizacional, especialmente após as iniciativas da New Public Management (NPM) desde as décadas de 1980 e 1990: o Balanced Scorecard (BSC). O estudo foca, particularmente, uma das mais recentes áreas da sua aplicação: a polícia. O BSC tem-se revelado um desafio nesta área tão controversa do sector público, quer devido à ambiguidade dos objectivos, quer pela diversidade de interesses entre os vários stakeholders. Por outro lado, há um conjunto de factores exógenos, económicos e não financeiros, que determinam o desempenho da polícia, bem como a implementação deste instrumento. Os casos de aplicação do BSC às forças policiais são analisados e discutidos quer em países líderes na introdução das reformas da NPM, como o Reino Unido e o Canadá, quer em países menos avançados neste processo de reforma como Portugal, onde a medida de desempenho da actividade policial é uma questão em expansão no âmbito da agenda política.

Competências relevantes para a efetividade do processo decisório em defesa aérea

Este artigo investiga o impacto das competências consideradas essenciais para o desempenho das atividades de defesa aérea sobre a efetividade do processo decisório. Como principais referenciais teóricos, foram utilizados os estudos de Simon (1970; 1987) sobre o processo decisório e o modelo de competências por setor de Gramigna (2002). Na pesquisa de campo, utilizou-se a triangulação de dados: entrevistas, análise documental, observações e questionário, por meio do qual levantou-se a percepção dos profissionais que desempenham as funções em estudo. Os dados foram analisados através de análise fatorial exploratória e análise de regressão linear múltipla. Os resultados da pesquisa realizada para este artigo contribuem para o estabelecimento de programas voltados ao desenvolvimento de competências individuais específicas, com impacto direto nas competências essenciais da organização. Os achados deste artigo servem também aos gestores militares como subsídio para decisões relativas à alocação de pessoal e formação de equipes, visando distribuir de forma mais racional os indivíduos, aliando suas competências aos interesses organizacionais, tal seja, alinhando as práticas de gestão de pessoas à estratégia organizacional.

Análise Económica e Financeira como Instrumento de Apoio ao Processo Decisório

O foco central deste relatório consiste em mostrar a total importância da Análise Económica e Financeira como instrumento de apoio ao processo decisório. No contexto actual onde a concorrência é cada vez mais forte e a busca pela competitividade é uma necessidade constante, as empresas necessitam de informações precisas e oportunas para apoiar o processo decisório. A escassez de recursos financeiros e o elevado custo, aliado com a falta de planeamento e controle, têm contribuído para que muitas empresas encerrem suas actividades. A tomada de boas decisões torna-se, então, um factor crucial para assegurar a sobrevivência, crescimento e permanência da empresa no mercado. Neste sentido, buscamos trazer para todos os interessados alguns conceitos e técnicas fundamentais de análise e medição da performance económica e financeira das empresas que será igualmente útil, quer a nível académica, como também a nível profissional. Procuramos evidenciar a importância de se conhecer os indicadores que podem ser vistos como alertas de possíveis falências de empresas e com base nisso, tomar decisões que determinam que estratégias utilizar para enfrentar a concorrência. A finalizar este relatório procedemos a uma pesquisa Estudo de Caso que engloba uma análise económica e financeira, baseada na análise das Demonstrações Financeiras e demais informações complementares da TRANSCOR-SV, S.A. Foram explorados alguns conceitos relacionados com o tema, mostrando de forma simples e objectiva a situação de como a empresa vem actuando no mercado. Constámos algumas deficiências, pois, foram verificados alguns pontos fracos. Diante dos problemas, sugerimos formas de mudanças e de viabilidade dos mesmos. Esperamos, então, que este relatório contribua para a empresa analisar melhor a forma de administrar a parte económica e financeira e demais sectores.The central focus of this report consists of showing to total importance of the Analysis Economic and Financial as support instrument to the ruling process. In the context actual where the competition is more and more strong and the search for the competitiveness is a constant need, the companies need necessary and opportune information to support the ruling process. The shortage of financial resources and the high cost, ally with the planning lack and control, they have been contributing so that a lot of companies contain their activities. The socket of good decisions becomes, then, a crucial factor to assure the survival, growth and permanence of the company in the market. In this sense, we looked for to bring for all the interested parties, some concepts and fundamental techniques of analysis and measurement of the performance economic and financial of the companies, which will be equally useful, he/she wants to academic level, as well as at professional level. We tried to evidence, the importance of knowing the indicators that you/they can be seen as alerts of possible bankruptcies of companies and with base in that, to make decisions that determine which strategies to use to face the competition. To conclude this report we proceeded to a research Study of Case that includes an analysis economic and financial, based on the analysis of the Financial Demonstrations and other complementary information of TRANSCOR-S.V., S.A. Some concepts related with the theme were explored, showing the situation of simple form and objective of as the company is acting in the market.
