CONTEXTOS DIFERENTES REALIDADES PRÓXIMAS: OS CASOS DE LA FORESTAL (NORTE ARGENTINO) E DA LUMBER (SUL BRASILEIRO)

A expansão da divisão internacional do trabalho nos séculos XIX e XX advindos dos interesses do centro do sistema capitalista fez aprofundar, no caso da América Latina, os interesses de grandes capitais. Pela pujança econômica e forte processo de exploração, destacamos os casos da empresa inglesa The Forestal Land, Timber and Railways Company Limited (La Forestal) e a empresa estadunidense Southern Brazil Lumber and Colonization (Lumber) pertencente ao Grupo Farquhar, objetivando-se analisar comparativamente suas dinâmicas econômicas e o que provocaram à sociedade, economia e natureza local/regional. Das dinâmicas regionais imprimidas por essas empresas resultou grande exploração e conflitos, gerando movimentos de trabalhadores, no caso das províncias do norte argentino, e, no caso do sul brasileiro, servindo como um dos estopins da Guerra do Contestado, ocorrida em espaços dos atuais territórios dos estados de Santa Catarina e Paraná.

Walker Brothers Quarries Limited fonds, 1975, 1980-1981, 1984, 1987-1989

Serving the Niagara and surrounding areas for over 120 years, Walker Industries has made its impact not only commercially, but also culturally. Beginning in 1875 with the erection of a stone sawing mill on a property John Walker purchased from the Welland Canal Loan Company. One of the first projects Walker cut stone for was the Merritton Town Hall. In 1882 the business expanded to include Walkers children, changing the name to Walker & Sons. Eventually in 1887 the two eldest sons took control of the business operation and their partnership changed the company’s name to Walker Brothers, the same year the company began operating its first quarry. The quarry was conveniently located alongside the 3rd Welland canal, offering easy access to Toronto and Hamilton. It was also close to the railway system which allowed immediate access to Thorold and Niagara Falls and later access to parts of Ontario and Quebec. The quarry supplied stone to build numerous halls and armouries across Ontario. A use was also found for the ‘waste products’ of cutting the limestone. Leftover stone chips were sent to paper mills, where stone was needed as part of the sulphite pulp process for making paper. Beginning to supply the Ontario Paper Company with stone in 1913, meant not only long, hard, work, but also more profit for the company. Before mechanization, most of the loading and unloading of the stone was done by hand, taking 19 man-hours to load an 18 yard railway car. Mechanization followed in 1947 when the plant became fully mechanized making the work easier and increasing production rates. In 1957 the company moved from its original location and opened the St. Catharines Crushed Stone Plant.

Electrical Development Company of Ontario certificate of stock ownership, ca. 1910.

The Electrical Development Company of Ontario was created in 1903. It was one of three private power companies that had water power leases with the Niagara Parks Commission, but was the only one that was financed with Canadian capital. The company built the Toronto Power Generating Station at Niagara Falls beginning in 1906, and the power house was completed in 1913. During the construction, there was much debate about whether the utility should remain privately operated or become a public utility. In 1920, the company became part of the public utility.

Invoice process analysis and development. Case: Power and automation technology company

This master’s thesis studies the case company’s current purchase invoice process and the challenges that are related to it. Like most of other master’s thesis this study consists of both theoretical- and empirical parts. The purpose of this work is to combine theoretical and empirical parts together so that the theoretical part brings value to the empirical case study. The case company’s main business is frequency converters for both low voltage AC & DC drives and medium voltage AC Drives which are used across all industries and applications. The main focus of this study is on the current invoice process modelling. When modelling the existing process with discipline and care, current challenges can be understood better. Empirical study relays heavily on interviews and existing, yet fragmented, data. This, along with own calculations and analysis, creates the foundation for the empirical part of this master’s thesis.
