Há sinergia entre o sistema lean manufacturing e a gestão ambiental? mapeando o estado da arte

In recent decades, two research themes have been prominent in the academic and organizational setting: lean manufacturing and green management. Since 1996, when Florida (1996) wrote an article focusing on the synergy between these two areas, the debate if “Lean is Green?” enters in the academic field. It is in this context that this research presents the results of a systematic literature on the topic, focusing on the characteristics, positive and negative impacts, lean paradigms, green paradigms and design of supply chains. To perform this procedure it were followed the methodological footsteps of Lage Junior and Godinho Filho (2010). The research occurred in the database Scopus and it was conducted from June, 2012 to July, 2012.The key word used was “green lean” and as search filter it were included only articles and conference Papers. Their main result is a deep analysis of the accumulated knowledge on the subject, where it is revealed that the majority of studies point to the synergy between some components of the lean manufacturing system in relation to environmental management. The research gap found is related to articles that address the entropy of the union of lean and green systems.

Guidelines for the Brazilian ceramic sector strategic development, based on a comparison with the Italian market

Based on a structured literature review, the ceramic tiles sector of Italy (benchmark) and Brazil (2nd world producer and consumer) are compared, under four strategic factors: normative, market, technology and strategic management, in order to identify critical risks for a national strategic sector. The document aims to propose guidelines for a strategic re-planning of the Brazilian ceramic tiles sector, making the Brazilian producers aware of the national market fragility (in spite of its recent remarkable evolution) and helping the policy makers to reflect on the need of reviewing the strategic planning methods and practice, of designing new targeted programs (based on coherence between operation and business strategies), of providing improved management to strengthen the sector against unfair competition by low-cost producers, enhancing the necessary infrastructure in technology, work, marketing and quality management. The analysis is limited to the single-firing production technology. The wide-coverage strategic analysis of the Brazilian ceramic tiles sector, very little studied until now in a scientific way, emphasizes the importance of applying research methodology and may be valuable to both scholars and practitioners. Additionally, it highlights the need of investments in innovation (product design and production technology) and the fundamental role of the sector organization, identifying different dimensions. It is possible to conclude that the recent Brazilian production growth is not due to a natural strengthening because of the hit of the sector and of correct enterprises strategy, but it seems the result of a temporary and favorable economic contingency.

Everyone is; should healthcare? Outsourcing: Issues in strategic planning, organizational culture, and organizational ethics

Expenditures for personal health services in the United States have doubled over the last decade. They continue to outpace the growth rate of the gross national product. Costs for medical care have steadily increased at an annual rate well above the rate of inflation and have gradually outstripped payers' ability to meet their premiums. This limitation of resources justifies the ongoing healthcare reform strategies to maximize utilization and minimize costs. The majority of the cost-containment effort has focused on hospitals, as they account for about 40 percent of total health expenditures. Although good patient outcomes have long been identified as healthcare's central concern, continuing cost pressures from both regulatory reforms and the restructuring of healthcare financing have recently made improving fiscal performance an essential goal for healthcare organizations. ^ The search for financial performance, quality improvement, and fiscal accountability has led to outsourcing, which is the hiring of a third party to perform a task previously and traditionally done in-house. The incomparable nature and overwhelming dissimilarities between health and other commodities raise numerous administrative, organizational, policy and ethical issues for administrators who contemplate outsourcing. This evaluation of the outsourcing phenomenon, how it has developed and is currently practiced in healthcare, will explore the reasons that healthcare organizations gravitate toward outsourcing as a strategic management tool to cut costs in an environment of continuing escalating spending. ^ This dissertation has four major findings. First, it suggests that U.S. hospitals in FY2000 spent an estimated $61 billion in outsourcing. Second, it finds that the proportion of healthcare outsourcing highly correlates with several types of hospital controlling authorities and specialties. Third, it argues that healthcare outsourcing has implications in strategic organizational issues, professionalism, and organizational ethics that warrant further public policy discussions before expanding its limited use beyond hospital “hotel functions” and back office business processes. Finally, it devises an outsourcing suitability scale that organizations can utilize to ensure the most strategic option for outsourcing and concludes with some public policy implications and recommendations for its limited use. ^

Juego de gestión económico-deportiva de fórmula 1 para Android

Formula Racing Team Manager (FRTM) se trata de un juego de un solo jugador, para Android, donde el jugador tendrá como objetivo principal ascender desde la quinta división inicial hasta la primera y lograr allí ganar la clasificación por equipos ante 19 equipos manejados por el sistema. Por el camino tendrá que gestionar una gran cantidad de tareas distintas en el juego, desde la gestión del equipo en sí a la gestión estratégica de las carreras. Para conseguir el objetivo será básico lograr una buena gestión económica, la fuente principal de ganancias son los patrocinadores, pudiendo contar con un total de cuatro simultáneamente. El dinero conseguido se utilizará en mejorar el equipo (empleados, coche y pilotos) lo máximo posible para conseguir mejores resultados en carrera. Hay una gran cantidad de circuitos disponibles, todos reales, combinando circuitos históricos del calendario de Fórmula 1 con actuales y con circuitos otros populares en otras categorías (a destacar la inclusión de carreras de resistencia como las 500 millas de Indianápolis o las 24 horas de Le Mans). Será importante entender bien los parámetros de cada circuito para lograr un buen resultado en todos ellos. La temporada se divide en 20 grandes premios, formado cada uno por tres sesiones (entrenamientos, clasificación y carrera). En los entrenamientos el jugador podrá, durante dos horas, dar todas las vueltas que cree oportuno hasta que su tiempo se agote, para encontrar así la mejor configuración posible para el coche, y obtener los datos de consumos y desgastes que encuentre necesarios para emplearlos en carrera. En la sesión de clasificación (separada en tres rondas), se decidirán las posiciones de salida en carrera Antes de la carrera el jugador deberá decidir qué estrategia utilizar en ella, escogiendo la configuración del coche, los compuestos de neumáticos y las cargas de combustible a utilizar en cada parada. Durante la carrera también podrá cambiar ciertos parámetros en caso de que la situación de carrera no se adapte a sus expectativas, teniendo así un control total de lo sucedido en carrera, como si de un director deportivo de un equipo real de Fórmula 1 se tratase. Durante la carrera, se irán simulando las vueltas cuando el jugador así lo desee y lo indique mediante un reproductor disponible. Posteriormente, al terminar la carrera volverá a predominar la gestión económica del equipo por parte del jugador, teniendo que controlar los desgastes de cada una de las diez piezas distintas del coche para evitar roturas, y volviendo a poder entrenar a pilotos y empleados. El juego está disponible tanto en español como en inglés. ABSTRACT.

Bola na rede: uma análise das estratégias comunicacionais de empresas esportivas no ambiente digital conectado

O uso das mídias sociais digitais como meio de divulgação de produtos, serviços e conteúdos organizacionais tem crescido nas últimas décadas e ganhou especial atenção nos planejamentos de comunicação organizacional e nos estudos acadêmicos sobre o tema. Nesse sentido, o segmento de empresas esportivas atua com destaque, despertando o interesse e a empatia do consumidor. Por meio de análise bibliográfica e estudo empírico, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar as ações de comunicação mercadológica do segmento esportivo no ambiente digital conectado, através de um estudo de caso múltiplo das empresas Nike e Adidas. Para a obtenção dos dados, foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade com profissionais do mercado e aplicado um protocolo de investigação de redes sociais digitais nos perfis das duas empresas. Após a coleta dos dados, estes foram analisados à luz das teorias estudadas nos capítulos iniciais (que abordaram temas como comunicação organizacional, comunicação digital, esporte e comunicação esportiva), e foi possível concluir, entre outros pontos, que, no universo do segmento esportivo, a comunicação digital conectada não prioriza o diálogo com seus públicos de interesse, sendo essencialmente baseada na divulgação unilateral de conteúdos, nem tampouco explora a potencialidade de cada uma das plataformas digitais disponíveis, replicando conteúdos em diferentes ambientes. Ficou evidente, também, o uso dos elementos constituintes do universo esportivo como argumentos estratégicos de comunicação das empresas, decorrente de sua capacidade de estreitar os laços relacionais com os públicos de interesse, por meio de seus apelos simbólicos de fácil identificação social
