Fábricas de software e a academia: análise da formação acadêmica em informática no município do Rio de Janeiro

As Brazil wants to be perceived as a competitor in providing computer applications and system development services in the global market, the concept of Software Factory gains importance. The metaphor for the 'Factory', when applied to the activity of software development, is used to describe organizations which produce software with a minimum quality standard and at competitive costs. However, the term 'Factory' recalls Fordist concepts, which have been challenged for a few decades in the manufacturing industry. This study analyzed university curricula and how students and teachers perceive the concept of Software Factory and assessed them in relation to the Fordism ------------ post-Fordism /continuum/. It was observed that some of the teachers who have influence over curricula define Software Factories according to Fordist concepts. It was also observed that, despite opportunities for improvements, curricula are adequately structured with regards to the skills a professional at these organizations must possess. We conclude that education provided at the programs being analyzed is adequate, but that it must be supplemented by companies or by the professionals themselves so that the knowledge acquired in the programs may be put in practice.

Influência da mudança organizacional na percepção dos papéis desempenhados no trabalho: o caso do arsenal de Marinha do Rio de Janeiro

O Objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar a influência da mudança organizacional sofrida pelo Arsenal de Marinha do Rio de Janeiro (AMRJ) sobre a percepção em relação aos papéis desempenhados pelos seus servidores, dos níveis gerencial e operacional, no que tange a valores e crenças sobre o seu trabalho. Esta pesquisa constitui um estudo de caso, e se deu por meio de pesquisa de campo, de cunho qualitativo, e por isso, os dados foram analisados de forma descritivo-interpretativa sobre a avaliação documental e do seu conteúdo. Os dados primários foram obtidos a partir de análise de documentos, tais como relatórios, normas, publicações e regulamentos internos; e os dados secundários foram provenientes de entrevistas semiestruturadas; e possibilitaram averiguar as categorias analíticas envolvidas na pesquisa. As amostras para as entrevistas foram selecionadas de populações, dentro do AMRJ que fossem semelhantes ou equivalentes a populações de indústrias privadas e os sujeitos das mesmas, que, igualmente, tivessem equivalência funcional em outras indústrias ou empresas a fim de serem representativas para a composição do conteúdo da pesquisa. Os dados coletados permitiram concluir que o AMRJ ainda se encontra em processo de acomodação à mudança que se iniciou, e que o trabalho passou a ser mais gratificante para o nível gerencial, assumindo uma perspectiva de desafio e crescimento profissional a partir de um novo enfoque dado a ele, porém, para o nível operacional, devido a uma motivação decrescente e a interesses frustrados, sua percepção considera o trabalho como menos gratificante que o outro nível, apesar do sentimento positivo que tem pela instituição. Concluiu-se, também, que as mudanças são necessárias, apesar das dificuldades inerentes a ela, e influenciam a percepção das pessoas, mas podem ficar comprometidas caso não seja levado em conta que deve haver uma equivalência na distribuição, entre todos os níveis, dos benefícios que podem favorecê-la.

Concerning organizational capability, the exam of the empirical evidences revealed that the organizations that had had the most significant development in terms of the dimensions identified by Tremblay (1998) as of high performance - that¿s the case of CIEDS and CDI -, were the ones with the best organizational performance.

Método de custeio e critérios de discriminação de preços de procedimentos médicos: uma análise em dois hospitais do município do Rio de Janeiro

This case study investigates, empirically, cost methods and criteria of price discrimination made from hospital organizations when they set up their prices of hospital services to private patients and push down their prices to patients affiliated to health insurance and/or health maintenance organizations (HMO). The theory sought to show the Brazilian health systems either public or private, the aspects about corporate culture, the relationship among three players of the private health system ¿ health insurance companies (or HMO), hospitals and the patients, the importance of the cost systems, and the criteria of price discrimination. With these theories, it was developed a qualitative exploratory research, through open interviews, with hospital¿s managers and co-workers from invoicing department from two hospitals located at the Rio de Janeiro City. Based on results we didn¿t identify appropriate cost systems to help the managers to make a correct decision about price discrimination, but was identified corporate culture factors that could influence the price discrimination. Among the results, we can see unprepared hospital managers. Finally, we discussed some contributions and weakness of this case study, and there are presented suggestions for future researches.
