O controle das relações entre o estado e organizações da sociedade civil: as perspectivas do TCU e do TCE-RJ

This dissertation is an analysis of how is happening in practice, the control of relations between the public sector and civil society organisations (NGOs) after the establishment of the legal framework of the third sector at the end of the decade of 90. This analysis focuses on the prospects of two organisations of the Brazilian government: Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) and Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (TCE-RJ). This study addresses the problem from the description of the historical context in relation to recent changes in the role of the state and public management. We proceed a review of the literature on the new models of public management, detailing the relevant aspects. It was also, briefly, as Brazil is facing these changes, the new legal framework of the third sector and the question of control of the relationship between state and civil society organizations. To evaluate the situation on the control of NGOs is held, initially, a survey of information collected in several audits conducted by TCU and TEC-RJ, as well as interviews with representatives of these organisations to achieve the main issues involving the control of transfers of public resources for these entities in the third sector. The analysis of results suggests that the control of the results expected in the new legal framework of the third sector is not consolidated in practice, and even in relation to traditional bureaucratic control there remain significant gaps that put at risk the correct application of public funds earmarked for NGOs.

Mapas de Conhecimento: Em Busca de um Instrumento de Aplicação nas Organizações para Operacionalização da Gestão do Conhecimento

The present work consists on the development and exploration of a knowledge mapping model. It is aimed in presenting and testing that model in an exploratory manner for the operationalization in theoretical terms and its practical application. For this proposal, it approaches ¿knowledge management¿ by three dimensions of management: processes control, results control and leadership. Assuming the inherently personal character of knowledge and admitting the impossibility for the management to command the individuals knowledge mental processes, this study states the possibility for management to control the organizations information processes, to state and to monitor the objectives and to lead people. Therefore, the developed tool searches to graphically represent the people¿s knowledge, which becomes, consequently, information. Also it evaluates the individual¿s maturity against the identified knowledge and prescribes, according to the Situational Leadership Theory, a style of leadership in compliance with the respective maturities. The knowledge map considered here translates the graphical representation of the relevant knowledge that is said to reach the objectives of the organization. That fact allows the results management for two reasons: first, the knowledge items are directly or indirectly connected to an objective and second, the knowledge map developed indicates a importance grade of the identified knowledge for the main objective stated. The research strategy adopted to explore the model of knowledge mapping and to test its applicability, also identifying its possible contributions and limitations, is the Actionresearch. Following the research strategy¿s prescribed stages, the knowledge map, as considered by this study, was applied in a software development company to hospitals, clinics and restaurants management which is called ¿Tergus Systems and Consulting¿. More precisely, the knowledge map was applied in the customer support company¿s area for hospitals. The research¿s empirical evidences had concluded that the model is applicable with low level of complexity, but with great demand of time. The more important contributions are related to the identification of the relevant knowledge to the department objectives in set with a prescription of the knowledge capture and transference necessities, as well as, the orientation for the appropriate leadership style for each subordinate related to the knowledge item in question.

Busca pelo homem social nas organizações: indícios, constatações, possibilidades

This study approaches the question of organizations in search for competitiveness when globalization, knowledge and technological advances in the First World is a challenge in developing countries. The case study research focus on Bahia Sul ¿ a large organization which belongs to the important sector of paper and cellulose, especially in terms of exports. This study analyses an organization in that underpriviledged situation of a third world country in which the majority of organizational strategies are heavily thrown on people who are simultaneously reduced to instruments for economic results and who are highly demanded in terms of productivity and creativity. Due to that reality, references chosen present two key contrasting concepts. Mass man, going back to Taylor¿s blue collars as well as to Marcel¿s knowledgeable but empty words man, whose abilities do not feet his needs, in contrast with rogerian expectations of person as a mutable and continuously enriched human being and with habermasian position looking for political and decision making participation in work an social situations. Results show a strong presence of mass man, despite his technological knowledge, and scarce indications of the social man and which appears in mere aspirations out of labor situations. Conclusions emphasize a need for coherence between organizational practices in search for competitiveness and expectations on persons¿ performance because they stimulate exchanges in terms of working places for obedience and some material comfort which is aggravated by the fact that any possibility of personal fulfillment is interpreted as only possible in out of work situations. Competitiveness in such a context is not to be expected.

O Compartilhamento do conhecimento nas organizações: um estudo desconstrucionista

Organizations have shown a speech focused on Knowledge Management and share of knowledge that reveal the relevance of both the age of knowledge and the capture and transference of individual and colective knowledge. Due to its continued repetition, the speech has been legitimated, not establishing, however, what can be shared, which methods shall provide it and which personal and corporate reasons can stimulate sharing the knowledge. This speech tries to convince that the implementation depends exclusively on the actions promoted by the firm. It also admits the presence of necessary environment conditions to make share of knowledge possible. The speech makes one believe that individuals and teams, formal or informal, are prepared and desire to share their knowledge, not considering feelings, wishes or availability to do so. The research has revealed the difficulty of sharing knowledge within service companies, which are strongly results oriented, due to the competition among employees in order to catch better jobs, the fight to retain power and the lack of time to develop daily tasks. Such organizations prevent people from the desire and the availability to share knowledge.
