The theme of this dissertation is the quality in assistance and services rendered: a study on the satisfaction of the students from the Social Studies school. In a school, leader are supposed to always believe that the best form of attaining success derives from their performance in decentralizing activities, do away with barriers and help in the front line. This is the participative management. Students satisfaction is the goal. When the whole school community feels emotionally involved, success is assured, since all the educational segments are supposed to get together for achieving school success. When investment is made in the continued education of the school staff, such as the establishing a teaching of quality is sedimented. To have a school of quality in assistance and services rendered and, thereafter, to obtain favorable results, it is necessary for everyone to be aware of their roles, which is only possible through a cooperative effort on the part of the people forming the institution, with a commitment of the whole team: teaching, technical and administrative staff, as well as its external and internal clients, with values of excellence and relevance, which ought to be present in the whole of the educational effort. The four fundamental dimensions for a program of quality are: Planning to change; organizing to act; Acting to transform; Assessing to improve. In planning the institution establishes its objectives. In organizing it defines the structure for a more flexible action. In acting what has been established is implemented. In assessing it constantly improves the program of quality. To look for the students quality and satisfaction is the virtue of persistence is the doing right from the word go. To have a zeal and care in everything one does e for whom it is intended to, since to achieve the maximum in result with the least effort, reaching goal, objectives and finalities are everything the target population wishes.

As pressões de mercado, os programas de abertura financeira, a desregulamentação da atividade produtiva e a diminuição de barreiras protecionistas afetam significativamente a competitividade da indústria nacional. Outras mudanças, não apenas econômicas, mas sociais, políticas e tecnológicas, também pressionam as organizações a adotar novas estratégias empresariais e deixam claro que modelos de gestão tradicionais já não são mais suficientes para enfrentar estes novos desafios. Na busca de diferenciais competitivos, as empresas têm adotado sistemas de gestão da qualidade, de gestão ambiental e de gestão da saúde e segurança do trabalhador. Como forma de evidenciar a terceiros sua preocupação simultânea com estas três disciplinas, as empresas têm buscado a certificação integrada destes sistemas por meio das normas ISO 9001, ISO 14001 e OHSAS 18001. Surgem, assim, os Sistemas de Gestão Integrados (SGIs), objetos de pesquisa deste estudo. O recorte é setorial, sendo que o setor de construção foi escolhido devido a características como singularidade de seus produtos, alto impacto ambiental e alto índice de acidentes de trabalho. Com o objetivo de investigar como os SGIs foram implementados no setor de construção, foram escolhidos três casos de empresas sabidamente adotantes deste modelo de gestão. Foram analisadas as motivações, o processo de implementação e certificação do sistema, os fatores críticos de sucesso, as dificuldades encontradas e os benefícios colhidos com a adoção de SGIs. A pesquisa confirmou estudos anteriores que demonstram que a motivação, dependendo do contexto em que as empresas se inserem, pode ser por necessidade de maior competitividade, de legitimação, ou ainda, por responsabilidade ambiental de sua liderança. Os fatores críticos de sucesso são, dentre outros, comprometimento da alta administração, comunicação eficiente com as partes interessadas, disponibilidade de recursos e maturidade das equipes. As dificuldades encontradas foram a valorização excessiva de resultados econômico-financeiros, a complexidade do modelo adotado, a utilização burocrática do sistema, a falta de maturidade e preparo dos profissionais, o porte dos projetos, o perfil de competências dos profissionais e variados tipos de resistências. A adoção do SGI nas empresas estudadas esteve condicionada a situações do cenário econômico, do alto índice de terceirização verificado no setor e às dificuldades com a qualificação da mão-de-obra. Não obstante as dificuldades e os condicionantes, o SGI trouxe vários benefícios para as organizações e, um dado relevante, é que ele pode desencadear reações positivas ao longo da cadeia de valor, uma vez que as empresas adotantes de SGI passam a ser mais exigentes em relação a seus fornecedores.

The objective of this paper is to bring elements from the philosophical movement of hermeneutics and pragmatism to the discussion on methodology in economics, with a specific concern on the theory of truth. Our aim is to present the concept of the hermeneutic space, developed by the philosopher Richard Rorty, as a rational justification for pluralism in economics. We consider the hermeneutic space an interesting concept which should allow us to overcome the void left by the incapacity of epistemological theories to explain the evolution of sciences. It defends the idea that our culture, values and ways of interpreting things are what build the sciences, not any closed epistemological method. In this sense, pluralism is nothing more than letting the hermeneutic space work, without epistemological barriers, and understanding that this is desirable for the future development of economics as a science. This approach differs from all other methodological justifications for pluralism because it does not rely on any epistemological method, but assumes that the hermeneutic space can entirely fulfill the gap created by them

Esta pesquisa buscou compreender as trajetórias profissionais de executivas aos postos de alto escalão, os fatores-chave, as barreiras e os inibidores de ascensão por elas enfrentados em seus percursos, bem como as estratégias de enfrentamento empregadas. Para tanto, efetuou-se um estudo de campo eminentemente qualitativo, cuja estratégia de pesquisa baseou-se no método de estudo de casos múltiplos, cuja unidade de análise centrou-se no nível individual, a saber, na exploração das experiências profissionais e de vida de executivas que alcançaram postos de alto escalão. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas em profundidade com 18 profissionais que atuam, ou atuaram, no board de organizações nacionais e multinacionais localizadas na cidade de Rio de Janeiro. A pesquisa revelou que o trabalho se constitui como fonte de identidade central para essas mulheres, e que suas trajetórias profissionais, apesar de únicas, apresentavam um padrão comum: essas executivas empreenderam trajetórias diagonais, devolvidas ao longo de várias organizações diferentes, o que poderia ser indicativo de como lidaram com a segregação vertical ao longo de seu desenvolvimento profissional. Chegar ao board de grandes organizações é empreendimento desafiador para homens e mulheres, a trajetória é afuniladora para ambos e, portanto, os que chegam lá – sejam homens ou mulheres – compartilham mais características comuns entre si, ou seja, o habitus do alto executivo, do que com o gênero ao qual pertencem. A pesquisa também revelou que os determinantes familiares, em especial a maternidade, somente foram apontados como barreiras de ascensão profissional pelas executivas sem filhos. Para as executivas com filhos, a maternidade foi encarada como um momento natural de suas vidas, que requereu algumas concessões, porém cujos possíveis conflitos foram equacionados de forma a que essa dimensão de suas vidas se equilibrasse com a esfera do trabalho que, para todas, se constitui em importante fonte de identidade.

Esta pesquisa buscou compreender de que forma RSC (Responsabilidade Social Corporativa) é tratada dentro de uma empresa de natureza híbrida. Espera-se que as estratégias sociais dentro de empresas híbridas pressuponham a incorporação de objetivos além dos eminentemente econômicos (conteúdos mainstream) e que empresas dessa natureza sejam um locus mais apropriado à uma abordagem crítica (conteúdos críticos) com foco social. Para atingir os objetivos propostos foi elaborado um estudo de caso único em uma instituição híbrida do setor bancário do Brasil, sendo os dados coletados diretamente em seis gerentes-executivos na empresa através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas. A partir da análise dos dados coletados, chegou-se a alguns resultados significativos com relação a algumas barreiras e oportunidades para o estabelecimento efetivo de uma abordagem crítica. Com relação às barreiras pode-se citar principalmente a predominância de um discurso sobre uma abordagem da estratégia com foco econômico que bloqueou outras abordagens. Esta ênfase à abordagem econômica se dá em parte em função das pressões que essas empresas sofrem para se tornarem cada vez mais competitivas e minimizarem a percepção de ineficiência e também se deve ao desconhecimento sobre a literatura em estratégia dentro de uma abordagem crítica. No que se refere às oportunidades, o estudo sinalizou que a incorporação de uma abordagem crítica mais engajada que conviva com a abordagem econômica, ao invés de se opor a ela, poderia encontrar mais espaço para se desenvolver em empresas dessa natureza.

Desde o seu surgimento, as favelas no Rio de Janeiro foram, ao longo dos anos, foco de diferentes políticas públicas desenvolvidas pelos governantes. Primeiramente a ênfase dessas políticas foi pautada na questão da remoção das favelas, pois eram consideradas verdadeiras aberrações que necessitavam ser erradicadas. Com o passar dos anos nota-se uma grande mudança. O discurso de valorização da urbanização das favelas ganha força e o remocionismo parece ficar um pouco esquecido. Entretanto, a partir do ano de 2009, vemos que a agenda pública passa a dar grande ênfase ao fomento do empreendedorismo nas favelas, já que este é visto como um importante fator de geração de riquezas e combate da pobreza. Para isso, foram criados diferentes projetos por parte do poder público e da iniciativa privada que visam fomentar a iniciativa empreendedora nas favelas. Entretanto, como será exposto através de algumas entrevistas que foram realizadas com empreendedoras da favela do Cantagalo, estes projetos apresentam algumas barreiras e desafios que precisam ser vencidos para que possam servir à finalidade para a qual foram criados e para que sejam mais efetivos.

While countries managed to rapidly rise and recover economically, Brazilian social indicators have advanced at short pace in the last decades. Although millions of Brazilians have recently left poverty, Brazil still has a long way to go regarding its socioeconomic development. Circa one fifth of the population is still considered functionally illiterate, basic education has one of the poorest performances in the world, the country has no top-level universities nor produces technology or patents at relevant levels. This paper, at first, analyses how the interaction between government and private agents influenced Brazil’s industrial and economic development, identifying the existence of bonds based on the exchange of private interests that at great extension kept public policies from reaching goals of national interest – the so called crony capitalism. Secondly, the paper verifies how development policies based on the promotion of innovative companies and segments of the industry may positively impact broad socioeconomic development. The paper delves specifically into the cooperation between universities and industry as a development tool. Enterprises and universities, guided by their endogenous interests, may be combined for the structuring of a national innovation system. While universities are fundamentally interested in promoting knowledge accumulation, enterprises are willing to invest financial capital in universities in exchange for the economic exploitation of products developed within the academic environment and direct access to its human capital. Lastly, the paper identifies the legal and cultural barriers and advances of this mechanism in Brazil. It verifies that, notwithstanding the institutional advance promoted by the Law of Innovation to the university-enterprise cooperation in Brazil, the law wasn’t entirely capable of eliminating the legal uncertainty of this relationship and capturing in an efficient way the interests of the agents involved. Recently, federal law n. 12.863/2013 officially offered universities the option of bypassing problems related to public law by regulating support foundations, which conceives greater certainty and simplicity to the cooperation. There are, however, remaining uncertainties regarding the norms to be edited by the executive power, as well as conflicts of interest linked to the property rights over patents resulting from this kind of cooperation. The paper verifies, moreover, the existence of ideological resistance to this tool within universities, in such a way that it is unlikely that those relationships develop in a systematic way throughout the country without further engagement from the government and its executive and legislative bodies.

The objective of this project is to analyze the effects for Brazil of the conclusion of TTIP. This is approached under different hypotheses: considering the effects on Brazil of a TTIP with the reduction of only tariff barriers between US and EU; introducing a partial reduction of non-tariff barriers; and, at last, with a complete reduction of these barriers. To finalize, an audacious alternative is assumed: a hypothetical participation of Brazil in the TTIP under a partial reduction of agricultural tariffs by the US and EU markets, and under a full liberalization of their agricultural markets. The methodology used to estimate non-tariff barriers was presented in the Ecorys Project (2009) developed by Berden e Francois to the European Commission.

A Tecnologia da Informação por meio da internet propiciou o surgimento de um novo ambiente de negócios no qual empresas, clientes e fornecedores estabelecem contato e se relacionam eletronicamente. Instaurou-se assim o Comércio Eletrônico (CE), atraindo inúmeras organizações motivadas pelas baixas barreiras de entrada e pelas grandes oportunidades de negócio, atualmente associadas no Brasil a um faturamento com crescimento de dois dígitos. Contudo, apesar do CE ser responsável por números expressivos e em ascensão na economia nacional, muitas empresas descobriram que a simples presença na web não se traduz em sucesso e enfrentam a escassez no tráfego de usuários em seus sites. Este trabalho buscou, por meio de um estudo de casos múltiplos, identificar quais aspectos são negligenciados em situações de fracasso por inatividade no CE de uma loja virtual considerada inovadora. Objetivou-se relacionar a iniciativa de CE com a inovação, conceituar uma iniciativa de CE fracassada pela inatividade e identificar os aspectos de inovação não observados em uma iniciativa de CE fracassada pela inatividade. Após uma revisão da literatura de CE e inovação, três proposições foram colocadas visando responder à pergunta de pesquisa. A primeira propõe que as iniciativas de CE podem ser consideradas iniciativas inovadoras, a segunda que a inatividade no CE pode ser considerada um tipo de fracasso e a terceira proposição sugere que a inatividade no CE pode ser associada à inobservância dos aspectos de gestão, recursos humanos (RH), investimentos, tecnologia e mercado. Na fase empírica da pesquisa foram analisadas qualitativamente três empresas varejistas nacionais com iniciativas de CE, porém que convivem com a inatividade em suas lojas virtuais. São elas: a Pégasos, A Esportiva e a MXT. Todas foram consideradas inovadoras, seja sob a perspectiva da inovação de marketing, de processos ou organizacional. Entendendo-se a inatividade como um estado de subutilização do site por parte dos potenciais clientes, conceituou-se a inatividade no CE como um tipo de fracasso, pois o tráfego de visitantes registrado mostrou-se nos três casos insuficiente para o sucesso no atingimento dos objetivos das empresas. Por fim, foi possível afirmar que a inatividade no CE pode ser associada à inobservância dos aspectos de gestão, RH, investimentos, tecnologia e mercado na condução de iniciativas inovadoras. Todavia há indícios que sugerem uma relação entre a relevância destes aspectos e a fase crítica no processo de comercialização on-line vivida pela loja virtual.

In this present work, the conditions of displacements and the behaviors of the users are evaluated, face to the physical adequacies in accessibility in the inserted area in the central quadrilateral of the Quarter of Cidade Alta, in the City of Natal/RN, space clipping established by its great meaning historical and cultural. For this reason such area was a target of an integrated actions plan during the years of 1993 and 1998, with the implantation of part of the Project CIDADE SEM BARREIRAS (City without Barriers) and, later, the implementation of the Project CIDADE PARA TODOS's proposals (City for All), having as supports the constant Brazilian norms inserted into the NB9050/1994 and in the Municipal law number 4.090/92, effective ones in the period of the interventions. Considering that the carried through actions at the time were directed to the elimination of the architectural barriers to guarantee the right to go and to come, the research received a human universe formed by all the people in situation of displacement in the central area of the interventions in the quarter of the Cidade Alta, independently of their locomotive or sensorial conditions, emphasizing the aspects most excellent how much to the accessibility of the sidewalk, as promotional of mobility, integration and urban organization, as well as of the public squares of that one quadrilateral, conceived, originally, as spaces of aggregation and social inclusion. The work appealed to the direct comment and the gotten results had been collated with the ex port facto law and technique norms, of the year of 2004, and with the legal devices contained in the Federal Decree number 5.296/2004, as way to certify the levels of efficiency of these adaptations in that it says respect to the current conditions of demanded accessibility and urban mobility

The thesis intends to discuss the ethics by the way of love. So, it uses as a mention the musical work and the set of attitudes of the group that changed the way of thinking across the 20th Century mass-comm, entering a new way of thinking about the World: The Beatles. Analyzing the lyrics and the writing of the songs was searched the comprehension of he intrinsic love message at the Ethics it expresses. At the musical art of The Beatles political messages had been announced in a time that the World sought a Ethic way beyond the several declared war and the Cold War. Taking the Edgar Morin works as a base, O método 6, Ética (2005), it sought to understand the idea who permeates the human relations: the good, the possible, the necessary. Another works used as a cognitive base were Meus demônios (2003), Cultura de massas no Século XX: neurose (2005), Cultura de massas no Século XX (2006), The Beatles Anthology (2000) and Many years from now (2000). Holding the Ethics idea showed by Morin were established imaginary lines that perpass the behavior of the group known in the entire World understood till nowadays as tolerance, comprehension, peace, love and endurance messengers. The Beatles operate during the sixties a musical reborn, which allowed to the people the discussion and the reflexion about the World and the human being new behavior,endurance but acting with tolerance. Permeating the basic study, we find the Beatles way, the group origin, the fast walk till success, the spiritual choice, who guide their behavior and the end of the band. The music used as a masscomp instrument passes by the condition of a simple way of communicating. It deeply action feeds feelings, allows transcendence and is showed as target of human being transformation. The Ethics in music passes by the ideological barriers and becomes to comprehension with a clear synthony for the man, cause the polyphony and the new musical order establish the messages worldwide

The accompanying the growth and development of the child is the guiding line of basic health measures directed at this public, acting within the scope of health monitoring and inferring positively in the rate of infant morbidity and mortality, which are still a preoccupation worldwide and in Brazil. However, mostly, this practice is based on the biomedical model of care, individualized, with emphasis on the medicalization and complaints, favoring the passivity of users. Given this issue, aim to develop accompanying the growth and development of the child in a Basic Unit Family Health, through a collective approach of medical care next to a health team, especially nurses and caregivers. This is a qualitative study, with the research-action method. Involved the four nurses and twenty-six of children's caregivers of the area of Basic Unit Family Health of Cidade Nova, in Natal, in the period from February to July 2010. The results were analyzed following the direction of the thematic analysis of Freire. In the situation analysis of the current reality of the accompanying the growth and development the children in the Basic Unit Family Health, through participant observation and applying a questionnaire to the nurses, we realize that despite these professionals have a knowledge tied to the paradigm of health promotion, in practice the monitoring of child is done through individual consultations in outpatient room, based on complaints brought by caregivers, with little solvability in actions employed. Given the need for change in medical care model, we decided jointly, in the focal group, for the collective monitoring of children's the growth and development, featuring then this proposal to the multidisciplinary team, discussing the participation of professional categories and planned collectively the actions. In the implementation stage of collective action, we contemplate the execution by the caregivers of anamnesis and physical examination, recording data in the Child Health Handbook and discussion of clinical findings, under the supervision of nurses and facilitators. In the evaluation, we found that this collective accompanying strategy allowed to caregivers learn new knowledge, exchange experiences, assistance in home care, beyond reduce the waiting time for medical care and creating opportunity of more time for debate about the children‟s health situation, differing of ambulatory care. As difficulties, we face with a high rate of defaulters (53.8%), lack of motivation and passivity of the users, little participation of other health professionals and nurses' involvement in other activities, technical and bureaucratic in the moment of care. Thus, we note also a strong rooting of individual clinical model on the way of thinking and acting of nurses and caregivers

This study aims to analyze and compare the opinion of professionals, managers and users about the mental health care in the Family Health Strategy (FHS). It is characterized as an Operations Research or Health System Research with a cross-sectional design and a descriptive quantitative nature. The study was developed from the application of the Opinion Measurement Scale allied to techniques of observation and structured interview in the city of Parnamirim / RN. The sample consists of 409 subjects, 209 professionals of the Family Health Strategy, 30 of the Oral Health Strategy, 19 of the Family Health Support Center, 24 directors of Basic Health Units, plus 68 users with mental disorders and 59 caregivers, respecting the ethical parameters of Resolution 196/96 of the National Health Council, trial registration number: CAAE 0003.0.051.000-11. Quantitative data were submitted to the Epi-info 3.5.2 for analysis. The network of mental health in Parnamirim involves the flow between the FHS, Psychosocial Care Centers, clinics and hospitals, having as main barriers the fragility of the referral and counter-referral system, of the municipal health conferences, of the FHS teams by the limitations in material and human resources as well as the population´s lack of acknowledge about the organization of the mental health network, issues that affect the integral attention. Even though the FHS professionals recognize the importance of their actions, they question their role in mental health care, experiencing difficulties in accessing psychiatric services (76.5%). Although most agree that the mentally ill is best treated in the family than in hospital (65.2%), the community health workers were the predominant category in the partial or total disagreement of this statement (40.8%), who is the professional in greater contact with the family. Nevertheless the caregivers miss the support of the FHS as the main focus of attention is on revenue control. The views of professionals, mental patients and caregivers converged in several statements, showing the main weaknesses to be focused by the mental health network of the city, as the perceptions that: (a) physical strength is needed to take care of mental patients for its tendency to aggression, requiring it to stay in the sanatorium for representing danger to society, (b) only a psychiatrist can help the person with emotional problems, (c) the user of alcohol and drugs does not necessarily develop mental illness, (d) the access barriers and doubts about the quality of psychiatric services, (e) caring of a mental health patient does not bring suffering to professionals. Therefore, the commitment to consensus building, monitoring and evaluation of the network are important mechanisms for an effective management system, reflecting in the importance of strengthening the health conferences and approximating different institutions. The results reinforce the importance of strengthening primary care through programs of continuing education focusing on the actions and functions of professionals in accordance with its competences and duties what contribute to the organization and response of mental health care, favoring user´s care and the promotion of family health
