Siawise Audit

Intitulada SIAWISE AUDIT, esta dissertação pretende apresentar o desenvolvimento de uma aplicação informática com o mesmo nome, e o conceito que esta defende e de que forma pode simplificar e reduzir o trabalho dos seus utilizadores. O SIAWISE AUDIT surge da necessidade de modernizar, informatizar e acelerar o processo de auditoria de conformidade legal prestado pela empresa acolhedora e mentora do projeto – a SIA. Sucintamente, o projeto visava a implementação de uma aplicação desenvolvida inicialmente tendo como alvo o Windows 8.1 mas que atualmente já é compatível com o novo Windows 10. A solução tem como principal característica o funcionamento em modo offline, essencial ao trabalho no terreno e em instalações de recursos frequentemente limitados no que refere à utilização de Internet. A aplicação tem como fonte de dados o software de gestão de legislação da SIA – o SIAWISE – que contém todos os dados relativos à legislação aplicável a cada cliente. Por se tratar de uma ferramenta exclusivamente para uso interno da organização, a interação e comunicações são sempre efetuadas através do BackOffice – o SIAWISE MASTER – este permite a importação e exportação de dados referentes à auditoria para o SIAWISE AUDIT. O resultado do processo de auditoria com recurso ao SIAWISE AUDIT tem como principal output a geração automática de um relatório de auditoria pronto a entregar ao cliente.

Seat in China

Currently, China has the biggest automobile industry in the world. China’s economic situation helped the automobile market, as the internal demand of passenger cars increased substantially in the last years. Chinese automobile industry’s astonishing expansion over the past years has attracted many foreign automobile groups. SEAT decided to enter the Chinese market, following its expansion strategy to enter new markets. The purpose of this study is to analyse and understand the strategic entry of SEAT in the Chinese market, hence the choice of an explanatory case study (Yin, 2003). This study extends this analysis by examining the chines automobile market, more specifically the demand, the market segmentation and the intensity of competition, reviewing the SEAT company history, their competitive positioning and resources. I conclude that, although the Chinese market has growing potential, SEAT has failed to achieve its initial objective. The company has not been able to create a brand awareness in the Chinese market, unlike other foreign brands that have managed to accomplish that. This occurred, mostly, because of the high prices in comparison to its competitors due to additional import cost, such as import duties, transportation and distribution.

Should my company use Bitcoin?

This work project analyses the possibility for a company to trade their goods and services for bitcoins, by joining the Bitcoin network. It analyses the technological and business requirements to join the Bitcoin Network by looking at Bitcoin’s potential to act as a mean of exchange for trade, unit of account and store of value. The analysis points to the motives, benefits and risks for investors to use the Bitcoin as a traditional currency and recommends on strategies for addressing those risks and maximizing benefits. Other than companies this report, to a lesser extent, will also analyse the Bitcoin from an investor’s point of view, this is, should an investor buy bitcoins for trade and make savings on a regular and everyday basis? A major finding in this work project is that companies could start using the Bitcoin system as a legit form of payment since the benefits of using this technology outweigh the costs and risks, given the right approach. This form of payment will contribute for the upgrade of a company’s business’ image, attract a new pool of consumers and businesses that already trade in bitcoins and pressure existing financial institutions and electronic payment vendors to upgrade their service levels.
