This dissertation aims at analysing the patterns of competition from the period of 1997-2005 in the Brazilian roasted and grounded market. For the development of this research, a questionary elaborated by the researchers Maria Sylvia M. Saes and Elizabeth M. M. Q. Farina, that was utilized with the firms associated to the Associação Brasileira da Indústria de Café (ABIC) in 1997, will be used. The same questionary will be replicated in the year 2006 in order to capture changes within the patterns of competition along those 9 years. The methodology applied in this study is the case study, with unit of analysis being the Brazilian roasted and grounded industry. The research will be descripitive, since it will describe the pattern of competition in the Brazilian roasted and grounded market. However, the study is also exploratory due to the fact that there isn't any research that analyzes the specific object of study. The results obtained suggest that, taking into consideration the relevant variables of structure, conduct and performance of the industry of roasted and grounded coffee, the pattern of competition remained the same throughout the period 1997-2005.

This study is an analysis of the nature of conflicts in highly qualified teams, searching for its causes and potential consequences for the teams¿ performance. The hypothesis is that establishing a power principle is of utmost importance to provide the team members with parameters for action as well as with an effective coordination, which may lead to the desired outcome. The problem under analysis herein is centered on teamwork, having in mind the growing complexity of the competences necessary for the organizations¿ success, in such a way that, if the human activities in these organizations are not cooperatively developed, the desired outcomes may be threatened. In this context it is perceived that many knowledge organizations lack adequate strategies and tools to promote adequate coordination of highly qualified workers, involved cooperatively in tasks of large intrinsic complexity. ABC Consulting is a particular instance of such problem, that may add to the understanding of the general problem of team work. This study takes into account the more general background of the Brazilian culture, which, in spite of broadening aspects such as social cordiality and the living in others (Holanda, 1995), does not lead naturally to quality teamwork. The research development is anchored in a methodology that combines both field and bibliographical work, with a qualitative approach in the scope of case study.

The objective of this work is to analyze the headquarters-subsidiary relation of a multinational company in the segment of cosmetics located in Brazil. In order to reach this objective, a revision of the literature on the international business area subject was carried, since this work aims to understand the different factors that influence the role of the subsidiaries in relation to the headquarters and to the markets they are installed. From this literature, some typologies were selected for the empirical analysis inside the selected company. The methodology used is a single case of study split in two sub-units of analysis, the subsidiary and the headquarters. For a better understanding of the research result, the characteristics of the multinational in the world, of the Brazilian cosmetic market and of the subsidiary are presented. This last one was divided in description of the operations, autonomy in relation to the headquarters and strategy. Finally, an analysis of the results combined with the literature explored in the typology is done, as well as an analysis in relation to the other authors not selected in the typology, but who were also considered in this work. The conclusion of this work makes possible to confirm that the subsidiary has no international responsibility and low autonomy in relation to its headquarters.

Since 1995 we have observed a great dissatisfaction with tax policy in Brazil. The government, the economic power and also the population agree that the tax burden is excessively high and unfair. This can be confirmed when we draw a parallel between the evolution of income distribution and tax burden. Despite this common sense, many political and economic powers present different solutions, according to their interests, in order to improve the Brazilian tax system. Meanwhile, this inefficient tax structure, which strengthens the well-known economic and social problems, perpetuates and, as a consequence, leads the country to an undesirable condition. This work evaluates the tax policy in Brazil from 1995 to 2000, providing a critical analysis on how the government dealt with taxation in this period to achieve its own goals.

Globalization, as an economic, social and cultural phenomenon, has profoundly changed the behavior of individuals, companies and nations. It is responsible for an increasingly borderless world and a significant increase in competition between companies, due to the rapid dissemination of information and technical and scientific advances. Every day at the global level, the growing competition between companies makes it more difficult for corporations to boost their earnings through added revenues, which makes it imperative to cut costs to be profitable. To this end, utilization of the reverse auction, which has emerged as a new purchasing tool in recent years, offers the possibility of a significant and immediate reduction in prices, as well as greater operational efficiency in purchasing. The Brazilian hotel industry has also experienced transformations with globalization. A business characterized in the 70s by small and medium-sized companies has developed into an economic segment that today includes large international chains and, therefore, also needs to cut costs to be profitable. Applying the case study approach, this research seeks to evaluate the impact that the utilization of a reverse auction as a purchasing tool has had on the hotel industry in Brazil.

The Brazilian insurance market is the ambience in which this research study takes place in search for a better understanding of how cultural characteristics are related with organizational signs, practices and expectations on social responsibility. The concepts of social responsibility as well as the concept of culture are presented and discussed from different points of view, in accordance with different authors and trough several methodological approaches, in order to establish a coherent theoretical basis for qualitative data analysis. The phenomenological attitude assumed by the researcher in especial dialogues situations during the field research phase added new possibilities of apprehension or emergence of each studied organization self orientation in terms of pre-occupation with social issues intimately related with their insurance activities in the market place. Final reflections show the complexity of the insurance cultural context in the studied Brazilian segment, in which cultural and subcultural national and organizational singularities appear. However leaving space for common values and coherent orientation toward the peculiar understanding of social responsibility as inherent to any insurance company activities, themselves. Last comments point out that future research studies may give additional contribution for the continuity of the discussions initiated in this dissertation, expecting that some changes in the organizational posture and practices may happen, especially those related with risk taking and broad processes of communication with clients and society as a whole.

This work is based on the analysis of three Brazilian cases of condemnation by accounting fraud and financial reports manipulation of data, where we tried to identify if there is condemnation by accounting fraud in Brazil and the main factors considered by the judge to convince them about the accounting fraud. The theoretical reference quoted involves the theory of fraud, the psychology of fraud, examples of financial fraud in foreign companies and Brazilians banks and the law in Brazil regarding fraud and money laundering. The methodology consisted in studies of Brazilian cases with the data collection criteria from three law suits. The methodology used was the Contents Analysis The samples were chosen according to the impact those cases had in Brazil and the facility to access their law suits. Therefore, we chose Gallus Agropecuária S/A, Encol S/A and Banco Santos S/A for a matter of convenience. The evidence indicated that in those three cases, the court was convinced by the accounting fraud due to omission of relevant financial information in the balance sheet, by information provided to the market that didn¿t reflect the healthy of the company (assets written up without the property). It was identified as well that, in those three cases, there was condemnation not only for the accounting fraud per si, but also by the combination of other crimes as money laundering, fraud gang, material and ideological false fraud, and bankruptcy.

Esta tese analisa como o cinema brasileiro, produzido nesta cultura narrada como mais inclinada aos processos de hibridização, representa a escola e o trabalho docente no contexto de dezessete filmes brasileiros. A discussão e a análise empreendidas nesta pesquisa foram gestadas na perspectiva dos Estudos Culturais pós-estruturalistas, especialmente aqueles que se dedicam aos estudos da mídia, articulados com os estudos foucaultianos. Foi necessário um estudo do cinema brasileiro e de suas produções no que se refere a essa forma de representação, bem como uma aproximação com a linguagem cinematográfica. Nesse sentido, a análise exigiu um estudo mais detalhado da cultura e da educação brasileira naqueles aspectos que possibilitavam olhar para as condições locais de produção cultural, embora a tensão constante da relação entre local e global fosse considerada. Nesse contexto, alguns conceitos foram importantes para esta investigação, tais como representação, poder, identidade cultural, política cultural e processos de hibridização, entre outros, para analisar os deslocamentos, ressignificações e/ou manutenções das representações hegemônicas de escola e trabalho docente. As representações foram analisadas considerando um processo social que é recorrente na história da formação docente: a feminização do magistério. Foi através da análise dessa formação discursiva que mostrei como o cinema brasileiro representa o trabalho docente com toda a complexidade das relações sociais, acionando múltiplas e complexas relações de poder que o significam de diferentes formas deslocando, ressignificando e/ou mantendo os sentidos mais recorrentes na cultura. No que se refere à representação de escola, foi necessário tensionar as conexões entre o local e o global, o que permitiu perceber algumas manutenções de representações hegemônicas de escola constituídas também pela tradição moderna de educação. Além disso, a discussão e a análise da filmografia brasileira permitiram-me problematizar a narrativa celebrativa dos processos hibridizadores da cultura brasileira.

A teoria de Finanças Comportamentais surge como uma nova abordagem ao mercado financeiro, argumentando que alguns eventos podem ser mais bem explicados se as restrições da racionalidade do investidor são relaxadas. Conceitos de psicologia e limites à arbitragem são usados para modelar as ineficiências, criando a idéia de ser possível ganhar sistematicamente do mercado. Este trabalho propõe um novo modelo, simplista na sua implementação, para aproveitar os retornos anormais advindos de estratégias de momentum e reversão à média simultaneamente. A idéia de um efeito momentum de longo prazo mais forte que o de curto prazo é introduzida, mas os resultados empíricos mostram que a dinâmica do mercado brasileiro rejeita este conceito. O modelo falha em conseguir retornos positivos e livres de risco.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo principal a obtenção de um modelo de Competências Críticas que possa ser aplicado ao CIO brasileiro. Para isso foi realizada uma pesquisa de natureza explanatória por meio de abordagem quantitativa. Para atingir este objetivo, foram feitos estudos teóricos relacionados ao ambiente do CIO, sua identidade, seu desenvolvimento na carreira, bem como seu relacionamento com sua organização e com fornecedores. Para efeito de análise foi considerado nesta pesquisa um conjunto de seis modelos encontrados na literatura mundial que descrevem as competências necessárias ao desempenho profissional do CIO, buscando assim, obter-se um melhor entendimento do problema de pesquisa. A partir daí, foi proposto um metamodelo de competências críticas e elaborado um questionário, sendo este o instrumento de pesquisa que foi utilizado neste estudo. Aplicado o questionário a partir da Internet, obteve-se uma participação de 111 respondentes válidos, sendo todos CIOs brasileiros. Uma vez efetuada a coleta de dados, foram adotados testes estatísticos relativos à Análise Fatorial, com o propósito de obter-se um modelo definitivo. Neste modelo encontrado, cada fator identificado representa uma competência crítica para o CIO brasileiro. Foram também testadas hipóteses a partir do modelo identificado, apurando qual a relação existente entre a importância atribuída aos fatores resultantes e o tempo de atuação de cada respondente como CIO, bem como o porte das empresas em que atuou. Como resultado do estudo, estabeleceu-se um modelo de competências críticas aplicável ao CIO brasileiro, associado ao seu bom desempenho nas suas atribuições.

Esse trabalho procura analisar a atuação do Poder Judiciário brasileiro frente à proteção dos direitos humanos e a utilização por este Poder dos instrumentos de proteção a esses direitos, em especial, a jurisprudência da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos. Tal escolha faz-se importante na medida em que o Brasil, com a aprovação do Decreto Legislativo nº. 89, de 03 de dezembro de 1998, reconheceu a jurisdição obrigatória da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos, sendo, por isso, agora, possível a condenação judicial internacional de violações de direitos humanos cometidas pelo Estado brasileiro. O trabalho foi dividido em quatro momentos importantes: entender o funcionamento do Sistema Interamericano, com foco na estrutura da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos; estudar a incorporação dos tratados que versam sobre direitos humanos no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro; a relação entre Sociedade, Poder Judiciário e Direitos Humanos; e, por fim, a análise dos casos brasileiros perante a Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos.
