O estrategista brasileiro da micro, pequena e média empresa privada nacional

The leadership of American literature in the field of business strategy and its consequent influence on the scientific and entrepreneurial world in Brazil is a real fact. It's also true that the major theories in strategy, especially from the classic school, the oldest and most influent in this field, were originated from empirical studies in large ¿ if not giant ¿ companies, many of them currently present in Brazil. The micro, small and medium Brazilian companies, of well known social and economical importance to the country, and its strategists are certainly not inert to this knowledge, but it doesn¿t necessarily means it can be applied with success in such different context. Previous studies indicate that this strategist makes use of intuition and is not very friendly with bureaucratic controls, but, in reality, the profile of this Brazilian executive is still unknown. Naturally, we do not expect this profile to be static in time, but reactive to changes on business environment, especially with the current globalization process. This research, aiming at knowing the profile of the Brazilian strategist of micro, small and medium companies and through an intensive revision on strategy literature, has built a mathematical model by the use of factor analysis, that can be applied in future studies. A new typology to understand the strategic thinking of these leaders is proposed. The conclusion shows that, for the executives in this research, intuition is not predominant on their decisions. Although more rational than intuitive, they refuse the idea of being purely rational. Besides, in the strategy formation process, they tend to have a collective spirit rather than deciding alone and to believe in the importance of being formal, planning and registering their intentions.

Agricultura familiar, segurança alimentar e políticas públicas : uma análise a partir da produção de autoconsumo no território do Alto Uruguai/RS

Esta dissertação analisa o papel da produção para autoconsumo na agricultura familiar e as políticas públicas e iniciativas locais no território do Alto Uruguai do Rio Grande do Sul. Desde a década de 1970, a agricultura familiar deste território vem passando por transformações profundas desde o início da modernização da agricultura devido a sua crescente inserção mercantil. A partir deste período, a agricultura familiar se torna uma forma de produção e trabalho marcada pela mercantilização social, econômica e financeira. Neste contexto, a produção de alimentos para consumo que era uma característica típica destas unidades de produção sofreu um processo de mercantilização. Este estudo procura demonstrar que isto decorreu, em grande parte, devido aos processos de especialização produtiva via plantio de grãos e commodities agrícolas, do uso cada vez mais intenso de tecnologias em larga escala e da perda do conhecimento acumulado pelos agricultores. Com a mercantilização da produção de alimentos que se destina ao consumo, as famílias se tornam vulneráveis em relação à produção de alimentos básicos e o abastecimento alimentar passa a ocorrer mediante compras nos mercados locais. Este processo de mercantilização e vulnerabilização do consumo fez com que no Alto Uruguai aparecessem situações de pobreza e de insegurança alimentar entre os agricultores familiares. Em face desta situação, a dissertação busca analisar em que medida as políticas públicas destinadas a fortalecer a agricultura familiar, estão contemplando ações de reforço a produção para autoconsumo. Através de pesquisa de campo e entrevistas semidiretivas realizadas no Alto Uruguai, estuda-se o Pronaf e um conjunto de iniciativas locais que operam com a agricultura familiar. A conclusão é que, em grande medida, o Pronaf e, em menor escala, as iniciativas locais, não estão conseguindo intervir e estimular os agricultores familiares a retomar a produção para autoconsumo. Neste sentido, o trabalho mostra que as políticas públicas e as iniciativas locais acabam reforçando o padrão produtivista e não permitem que os agricultores familiares possam diversificar as suas estratégias de vivência e de desenvolvimento rural no Alto Uruguai.

A relação trabalho e conhecimento nos programas de educação para o trabalho da LBA no Amapá

A LBA é uma instituição de abrangência nacional, historicamente ligada à organização de políticas governamentais de ação social, e que há décadas vem aplicando considerável volume de recursos na implementação de programas definidos como educação para o trabalho. Os resultados são mínimos, fato visível, inclusive, nas ameaças de extinção que, ciclicamente, pairam sobre a instituição. A questão fundamental que motiva e norteia este trabalho é na realidade a relativa ao sentido real da existência desses programas em uma instituição assim caracterizada. A resposta é apresentada na forma de um diagnóstico da relação trabalho e conhecimento no imaginário institucional da LBA do Amapá, construido a partir da análise da linguagem utilizada nos textos oficiais da instituição e contextualizada historicamente, cotejada com a fala de pessoas que vivenciam quotidianamente as práticas concretas de educação para o trabalho da LBA no Amapá, captada diretamente, através de uma metodologia de fundamentação hermenêutica-dialética.

Henrique Novaes: técnica, território e cidade em uma trajetória profissional: Brasil, primeira metade do século XX

The career of civil engineer Henrique de Novaes, a remarkable figure in the academic, technical and political fields, demonstrates its extensive and relevant work across Brazil in the first half of the twentieth century. It covered from the design of water supply and sewage works, road and rail transport networks, works against drought in the Northeast, hydroelectric and harbor facilities to the urbanization planning and architectural projects, which displays a systematic and multiple production. City and territory conformed to his fields of verification, practical and above all, transformation. The search for understanding of the inclusion of a social actor in this process thus contributes to the specific analysis of the doings of Henrique de Novaes, who graduated at Polytechnic School of Rio de Janeiro in 1906. From a polymorphic activity in different scales, one tries to figure how, through academic education or professional practice, urban history in Brazil can be told or built. The introduction of technological innovations matched the purposes of planning and urban sprawl, as well as met the specifications of regulation and institutionalization of public infrastructure services at the time. The overall plans proposed by the engineer thought of the city as a whole, interconnected to the structural networks. At the same time, the knowledge of a larger physical scale the territory bounces back in the urban in a relationship of reciprocity and completeness. The objective research, therefore, tries to understand the roles played by Henrique de Novaes s works and academic education in the accomplishment of systematic modernization of Brazilian urban space and territory, recovering a little known historical figure by current historiography. It is proposed, as methodological axis, that the study of this professional career configures itself as an essential element for understanding the idea of progress embodied in the technical studies and proposals for improvements and sanitation nationwide in the first half of the twentieth century . The primary sources for the construction of this analysis were technical articles in journals of the period ( Clube de Engenharia , Viação e Revista Brasileira de Engenharia ), and technical reports, government messages, newspaper articles published at the time, autobiographical reports and the engineer s verbal communications with relatives. The work is structured in three chapters: "Biographical traces, academic education and 'technical and political' activities" illustrates the initiation into the technical, public and political environment; Chapter 2, "Technique and territory" outlines his network understanding through sanitation and transport services; Chapter 3 "Technique and City" describes the influence of polytechnics knowledge on the propositions of modernization of cities; Finally, "Final Thoughts: An Evaluation," presents an overview of the affiliations and practice of an engineer in the different scales, and its contribution to the modernization of Brazilian urban and territorial space

O uso do território pelos serviços privados de saúde em Natal/RN

Nowadays we can observe in Natal city, the development of the structure and the health s private service. However, the spatial distribution of these services will be marked by an uneven distribution on the places, what will be in according with the conditions offered by the same in each historical period. Accordingly, the objective of this job is analyze the use of the territory by the health s private service and the dynamics that promotes in Natal city in the technical scientific information period. Thus, seeking to search this goal, realized literature, documentary, empirical, considering the process of development and the spatial distribution of the health s private service in the city. From a topology we can observe that prevails in the city a service s concentration at all levels of complexity in only a few neighborhoods, being Tirol and Petrópolis, which are neighborhoods that have high densities of engineer system, bigger fluidity, and the best level salaries of the city, which present a greater number of these establishments. However, equal this concentration has occurred a dispersion of these services to other neighborhoods, as for example Lagoa Nova which is presenting the same attractiveness in the view of attributes territorial, begins to protect services presenting the same profile like the firsts. However, the city has a significant demand to this kind of service found in these neighborhoods, some events provided the emergency of another type of market of health s private service, that are those created to attend guests with a lower purchasing power, which will have their establishments in the same way selectively distributed in some areas of the city, which will not be the same pursued by the other, showing how selective is the installation of an enterprise guide by the logic of capitalism reproduction. So, the imperative of spatial selectivity presented by the health s private sector exposes an use of the differential territory for these services

Desenvolvimento territorial e a política nacional de água em Moçambique: o caso do distrito de Chibuto

The development has been a phenomenon in constant discussion today, whose fundamental importance should be to promote the welfare of humanity. Thus, the development becomes an element that adds political, economic, social and environmental values . In Mozambique the development model adopted by the State prioritizes the economic dimension, in this case favoring the growth of capitalist structure production. Thus , the basic conditions for human survival still leaves much to be desired and the Mozambican population in general and the district of Chibuto , in particular , continue to face several difficulties to have access to such conditions, and the lack of potable water is a that most of the problems afflicting this population . The water was always a factor related to the socio-economic development of the population, where great civilizations and major economic marks were always influenced by water availability, and today this feature is present in all sectors of production. In Mozambique, much effort has been made by the government, national and international organizations to enhance and guarantee the supply of potable and drinking water, and despite all this effort, most of the population does not have access to this precious resource. In this sense, this work presents an analysis of the effects of the National Water Policy in the study area, analyzes the shortage of potable water in the district of Chibuto, discusses the design and development contained in the official discourse of the state and, opposes the idea of human development. For such issues that help to understand the phenomenon under study, such as territory, public policy and criticism of hegemonic conception of development are addressed. To make the desired approach, we performed a characterization of the District of Chibuto, addressing the issue of poverty, with a brief discussion of this concept, from different approaches, and analyze the impact of the PARPA (Action Plan for the Reduction of Absolute Poverty) in fighting poverty in Mozambique, and became a description of the scenario of poverty and vulnerability in Chibuto district with the construction of Territorial Human Development Index. Research also brings up a discussion about territory and technicization which describes the senary of the water supply system in the District and territorial dynamics of Chibuto, from the analysis and description of existing structures and other technical objects that structure the territory under study. Thus, it was found that the development should be summarized in the satisfaction of human needs, and should be the cornerstone of the new type of development that is intended for the purpose of triggering urgently actions to overcome or combat bleak misery suffered by the majority of inhabitants of the District of Chibuto
