A formação e o desenvolvimento de arranjos cooperativos sob a ótica da imersão social e da economia dos custos de transação: um estrudo de caso na Coopercam e na Unipesca

The current study analyzes the birth and development of two strategic alliances established between shrimp producers in Rio Grande do Norte: the Unipesca and the Coopercam. To achieve this aim, two approaches which, at first sight, could be considered contradictory were used: the Transactional Costs Economy and Embeddedness. The first approach is fundamentally based in the studies of Williamson (1985; 1991; 1996; 1999; 2000; 2002). Embededness, on the other hand, went through the review of a series of authors, such as Burt (1992), Granovetter (1973; 1985), Uzzi (1997), Gulati (1994; 1995; 1997; 1998; 1999; 2000), Nielsen (2005), Ring (2002), Ring and Van de Ven (1994), Zafirovski (2002), among others. To analyze the birth and development of the cooperatives in this study, Gulati s work (1998) was used. This study shows the steps to be studied for a better comprehension of an alliance: the decision of starting an alliance and the choice of the partners, the decision about the governance structure, the evolution of the alliance and the development of the companies which established this partnership. To carry this study out, a study case accordingly to Yin s proposal (2001) was adopted. Semi-structured interviews with pre-defined plots were conducted in two phases: in the beginning of 2006 and in the beginning of 2007. The subjects from the research were, in 2006, representative members of the main associations and corporations, besides the shrimp producers from the state, when the context of the activity was set. In the second phase, in 2007, representative members from the two cooperatives that were listed above were interviewed the president from Coopercam and the marketing manager from Unipesca. Besides these two members, directors from two important organizations in each of these cooperatives were also interviewed, giving out the necessary information for the research. Secondary data was also collected from the Brazilian Association of Crab producers website, as well as from news from important newspapers in RN, such as Tribuna do Norte. The primary data was analyzed in terms of quality, accordingly to the documental analysis technique. Thus, through the data that was collected, it can be concluded that the reasons that motivated the companies to cooperate can be explained in terms of the transactional costs economy. However, the choice of partners is more connected to aspects approached by the social embededness. When aspects related to development and evolution were analyzed, it could be seen that both aspects from TCE and Embededness were vital to explain the development of the cooperatives mentioned

Relações interorganizacionais e confiança no setor da carcinicultura: um estudo de caso na camanor produtos marinhos

This study investigated how the types of confidence based on competence and good will act in the formation and maintenance of cooperation relationships between the Camanor and its partners (Aquatec, Purina, Caçuá, Uvifrios and Malta / Cleyton). It used organizational approaches on networks based primarily on studies of Powell (1987, 1990), Das and Teng (2000, 2001), Child (2001) and Contractor and Lorange (2004) which have described the advantages that cooperative relationships can provide, as well as their limits as alternative governance structures. Confidence has been considered an important factor affecting the actions and development of organizations involved in networks or in strategic alliances (ZAHEER; HARRIS, 2006) and is the most appropriate control mechanism in these situations (SYDOW, 1998). Confidence is seen from two different approaches: the economic and the sociological (ZAHEER; HARRIS, 2006). To facilitate the understanding of confidence some typologies have been created, as proposed by Barney and Hansen (1994), Lane (1998), Das and Teng (2000), Child (2001) and Wever, Martens and Vandenbempt (2005). This study made use of the case study as proposition of Yin (2005). Semi-structured interviews were held with pre-determined routes, in a single stage performed in early 2008. The research subjects were owners and / or responsible for Camanor and its business partners (Aquatec, Purina, Caçuá, Uvifrios and Malta / Cleyton). Also secondary data were collected in several sites related to the industry and enterprises studied, in addition to data collected by previous studies conducted by CARCINEREDES (2006). The primary data were analyzed using the analysing technique of the content proposed by Bardin (1994). Regarding the secondary data, they were qualitatively analyzed according to documentary analysis technique (BARDIN, 1994). Thus, through the data collected, could be concluded that although there is confidence based on good faith in relationships(UZZI, 1998; OF; TENG, 2001), their presence does not determine the formation and / or maintenance of a partnership, serves only in order to facilitate the relationship, making them more flexible. The confidence based on competence (DAS; TENG, 2001) influenced the formation and maintenance of relations studied. Because whether or not to form a relationship with another organization it is used the perception of the partner acts, namely the reputation (image) as decision basis. And it is through the verification of the performance of the partner activities that will determine the continuation of the partnership

Estratégias internacionais da fruticultura do RN: o caso finobrasa processo e evolução

Evolução da literatura de inovação em relações de cooperação: um estudo bibliométrico num período de vinte anos

Uma das principais características das relações de interação em busca de cooperação consiste na busca de novas formas de gestão produtiva e administrativa, condicionadas pela pressão por inovação. O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma análise da literatura, entre os anos de 1991 e 2010, sobre os temas inovação e cooperação. Para isso, os autores utilizaram o método de estudo bibliométrico e análise qualitativa de alguns dos trabalhos e referências. Foi realizada uma busca na base de dados ISI Web of Knowledge (Web of Science) com os tópicos relacionados à inovação e cooperação. Com base na análise das palavras-chave que mais apareceram nos artigos da amostra e na nomenclatura utilizada pela base de dados para codificar as áreas, foram identificadas as oito áreas que mais se relacionaram com a temática de pesquisa, sendo elas capacidade de absorção (absorptive capacity), alianças estratégicas, conhecimento, desempenho, gestão, inovação tecnológica, pesquisa e desenvolvimento, desenvolvimento de novos produtos e redes. Verificou-se que as publicações concentraram-se em apenas 17 periódicos, sendo que os quatro que mais publicaram foram: International Journal of Production Research, International Journal of Technology Management, Management Science e Technovation. As publicações cresceram a partir de 2000, com um pico em 2008. A crescente necessidade de interação entre entidades e de inovação, por meio da combinação de recursos internos e externos, justificam a análise da evolução da literatura.

Uso de Data Mining e do ECR para incremento da competitividade de pequenas e médias empresas: um estudo multicaso sobre varejo e indústria alimentícia

O setor supermercadista sofreu grandes alterações nos últimos anos, principalmente com o avanço das tecnologias, a competição, a concentração e algumas insuficiências em seus processos. Estes e outros fatores favoreceram ao surgimento do movimento de ECR (Resposta de Consumidor Eficiente) que procura criar um relacionamento mais forte entre indústria e varejo através de novas visões para suas estratégias operacionais. A evolução das tecnologias de informação permitiram ao setor varejista gerar uma maior volume de dados a partir, principalmente, de seus check-outs. Entretanto, estes dados nem sempre são armazenados de forma correta ou utilizados de forma a se aproveitar a plenitude das informações neles contidas. O processo de transformar os dados em informação e conhecimento vem evoluindo constantemente. Uma das atuais metodologias de trabalhar dados é o Data Mining ou Mineração de Dados, que pode ser descrito como sendo uma variedade de ferramentas e estratégias que processam dados aumentando a utilidade destes em bancos de dados. Este trabalho analisa através de um estudo multicaso exploratório na região de Ribeirão Preto, no interior de São Paulo, a avaliação da capacidade do uso da tecnologia Data Mining para o fortalecimento do movimento ECR, principalmente em pequenos e médios varejistas e indústrias alimentícias, no sentido de oferecer a estes um diferencial de negociação para formação de alianças estratégias.

Diretrizes para o estabelecimento de parcerias entre empresas do real estate residencial.

O presente trabalho tem como foco o estudo e análise das alianças estratégicas realizadas entre empresas do setor do real estate, no período entre 2006 e 2010, enfatizando as alianças realizadas entre empresas atuantes predominantemente nas cidades de São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro com empresas atuantes nas regiões Norte e Nordeste do Brasil, cujo objetivo por parte das empresas paulistas foi o espalhamento geográfico. Considerando o volume representativo de alianças estratégicas verificado no setor no período em questão e a geração de resultados dos empreendimentos objetos de tais parcerias inferiores às expectativas estabelecidas, o objetivo do trabalho é a apresentação de um conjunto de diretrizes que possa contribuir para o planejamento, realização e condução de futuras parcerias entre empresas do setor, visando a mitigar dificuldades e a explorar da melhor forma possível os benefícios que as alianças estratégicas podem proporcionar. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa por meio de um estudo de casos múltiplos abrangendo o estudo de empresas de capital aberto que atuavam predominantemente nas capitais do eixo Rio-São Paulo, empresas atuantes em nível regional no Norte e Nordeste brasileiro que realizaram parcerias com as empresas do Sudeste, além de empresas de consultoria que estiveram envolvidas nas parcerias por meio de prestação de serviços. Tal pesquisa permitiu identificar as principais dificuldades, vantagens e desvantagens decorrentes das parcerias em questão, cujos dados foram analisados e discutidos à luz da revisão bibliográfica, embasando assim o conjunto de diretrizes proposto. As diretrizes apresentadas visam a contribuir com todo o processo que envolve a realização de uma parceria, contemplando desde aspectos de planejamento, gestão até aspectos operacionais e são complementadas por recomendações que somadas às diretrizes podem elevar a probabilidade de êxito das parcerias.
