El objetivo de este trabajo de grado es realizar un análisis sobre las transformaciones institucionales colombianas que garanticen los derechos de refugiados colombianos en el Ecuador. Se analizará desde el enfoque neo institucionalista de la Ciencia Política, como la realidad de los refugiados colombianos en el Ecuador incide en las trasformaciones de las instituciones colombianas al constituirse en actores estratégicos en la configuración de las políticas y la institucionalidad del Estado colombiano. Al ser este un estudio de caso, se abordarán trayectorias vitales y migratorias de connacionales refugiados en Ecuador, víctimas del desplazamiento forzado, como también versiones de las instituciones del gobierno colombiano y opiniones, reflexiones y prácticas de fundaciones, ONG e instituciones internacionales especializadas, desde un enfoque cualitativo de investigación.

El presente Trabajo de Grado busca caracterizar la cultura organizacional de una empresa del sector Financiero en Colombia y realizar orientaciones de acciones para el cambio organizacional de acuerdo con la estrategia de perdurabilidad establecida por la Alta Dirección de dicha empresa. Para este fin, se realiza una cuidadosa revisión y actualización del estado del arte de los conceptos clave ¨Cultura Organizacional¨ y ¨Cambio Organizacional¨. Es de resaltar que para el primero de ellos, se toma como punto de partida el estado del arte sobre Cultura Organizacional realizado por el profesor Carlos Eduardo Méndez Álvarez y cuyo marco temporal abarca desde los orígenes del concepto en el siglo XIX hasta el año 2006. Asimismo, luego de una cuidadosa revisión de los Modelos de Cambio Organizacional existentes y de la realidad de la empresa objeto de estudio, se adopta el Modelo ADKAR que consta de cinco fases: Conciencia del Cambio, Deseo, Conocimiento, Capacidad – Habilidad y Refuerzo. Asimismo, a partir de la construcción de un fundamento teórico sólido y a través de la aplicación de la metodología para describir la Cultura Organizacional en Colombia MEDECO se busca una aproximación a la Cultura Organizacional de la empresa objeto de estudio con el fin de describir e identificar los rasgos predominantes de su cultura organizacional y entregar una propuesta final con los rasgos necesarios que alientan la consecución exitosa de los procesos de cambio.

Este trabajo busca analizar los efectos e implicaciones que tuvo la reforma política de 2003 sobre el Partido Liberal Colombiano (PLC), y cómo los cambios institucionales configuraron un marco para la reorganización de la colectividad liberal hasta 2010. En la primera parte del trabajo se expone el desarrollo del sistema de partidos en Colombia y la estructura de incentivos existente en el marco institucional antes y después de la reforma. Para dar cuenta de los cambios en el PLC, se hace una revisión de los principales debates que se dieron dentro de la bancada liberal en el Congreso con respecto a la reforma y sus posteriores modificaciones. Finalmente, se presenta la relación del alcance de la reforma sobre el PLC que a la luz de la teoría neo-institucionalista, explica el comportamiento del Partido como organización, así como la de sus miembros.

Purpose – This paper aims to examine how to further embed CSR thinking and practice into corporations, particularly in emerging markets, by reviewing and drawing similarities between key issues faced by all senior managers, namely ethics, leadership, personal responsibility and trust. Design/methodology/approach – This paper presents a conceptual exploration of global CSR practices using social psychology and overlays this concept with strategic and institutional theory in order to encourage new ways of thinking about CSR adoption, especially in emerging markets. Findings – The paper reveals the importance of shareholder needs on global corporate decision making and applies alternative conceptual models to help businesses to devise better CSR practices and individuals to align their actions to their own values. Originality/value – This paper strongly argues for blending different theoretical foundations from the management and organization literature in order to draw comparisons between current global CSR practice and the potential for its further adoption in emerging markets.

Is the concept of a work of art an evaluative concept: does its application imply a positive evaluation? I shall discuss this question by considering two opposing attempts at defining art, namely the Institutional Theory and the view that art is a functional concept. I shall argue that the concept of art does not imply an unconditionally positive evaluation, but that art is a prestige concept. Moreover, it will be shown that functional definitions of art are flawed.

The debate associated with the qualifications of business school faculty has raged since the 1959 release of the Gordon–Howell and Pierson reports, which encouraged business schools in the USA to enhance their legitimacy by increasing their faculties’ doctoral qualifications and scholarly rigor. Today, the legitimacy of specific faculty qualifications remains one of the most discussed topics in management education, attracting the interest of administrators, faculty, and accreditation agencies. Based on new institutional theory and the institutional logics perspective, this paper examines convergence and innovation in business schools through an analysis of faculty hiring criteria. The qualifications examined are academic degree, scholarly publications, teaching experience, and professional experience. Three groups of schools are examined based on type of university, position within a media ranking system, and accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Data are gathered using a content analysis of 441 faculty postings from business schools based in the USA over two time periods. Contrary to claims of global convergence, we find most qualifications still vary by group, even in the mature US market. Moreover, innovative hiring is more likely to be found in non-elite schools.

This study asks how key regulations influence nascent international entrepreneurship in countries with varying levels of corruption. Using regulatory capture theory and institutional theory, we hypothesize and test the effects of tax, export regulations, and corruption, on international entrepreneurship. We consider direct effects of these regulations as well as a possible moderating effect of corruption on nascent international entrepreneurship. Our findings indicate that the effect of regulations on international nascent entrepreneurship vary depending on types of regulation. Interestingly, we find that corruption plays a dual role, serving as both grease and sand for nascent international entrepreneurship. Corruption worsens the burden of regulations which have financial costs element. Another interesting finding is that corporate tax is not a significant deterrent factor for IE when corruption is low.

Esta pesquisa analisa a difusão das certificações ISO-9000 no Brasil sob o prisma da teoria neo-institucional e de referências sobre modismos gerenciais nas organizações. A premissa é de que muitas dessas decisões de certificação - que se tornou muito popular nas empresas brasileiras desde 1990 - só podem ser entendidas plenamente à luz de sua natureza modal e institucionalizada, e que muitas desses processos podem refletir adoções cerimoniais (isto é "para inglês ver"). Através de questionários aplicados em empresas que buscaram a certificação ISO no Brasil, o estudo procura entender melhor fatores ligados à tomada de decisão sobre a adoção, à estratégia de implantação, aos resultados percebidos e aos mecanismos de justificação dos programas.

Vários autores defendem a evolução dos sistemas de produção atuais para o que seria um modelo pós-industrial ou informacional, revendo alguns conceitos fundamentais no campo da administração, como a padronização da produção, as economias de escala, os fatores de motivação do grupos organizacionais e a estrutura organizacional. Autores como Alvin Tofler e Daniel Bell falaram em industrialismo e informacionalismo (ou pós-industrialismo). (Tofler, 1970, 1980; Bell, 1970). Estes conceitos estão sendo retomados por outros autores, atualmente, para descrever a evolução da sociedade ocidental e das organizações. (Castells, 1999) (De Masi, 2000). O surgimento do conceito de aprendizagem organizacional a partir de um certo momento, entrou na moda e passou a fazer parte do discurso empresarial padrão, estando associado ao modelo Pós-Industrial. Pretende-se, neste projeto, fazer uma análise crítica da evolução do conceito de aprendizagem nas organizações, definindo-se e analisando-se as diversas teorias que tratam deste tema.

Este estudo investiga as possibilidades de generalização das práticas de governança corporativa a organizações operando em ambientes não mercantilistas. Os limites da teoria da agência, referencial teórico predominante no desenvolvimento dessas práticas, são analisados no ambiente dos fundos de pensão brasileiros a partir da verificação da aplicação dos mecanismos de monitoramento, controle e incentivos, previstos por essa teoria, por patrocinadores e participantes, e a percepção dos gestores quanto à importância desses mecanismos na conformação de seu comportamento. Alternativamente, é examinada a extensão da busca de legitimidade pelos gestores, segundo o referencial da teoria institucional. São comparados os resultados obtidos para fundos com perfis diversos quanto a variáveis como tipo de plano, origem do patrocinador e maturidade. Os resultados indicam uma diferença no uso e percepção daqueles mecanismos, em virtude principalmente da natureza do patrocinador, volume de ativos de investimento, tempo de existência e maturidade do fundo. Não foram obtidas diferenças estatísticas significativas para a percepção dos fatores institucionais, sugerindo a existência de elevada coesão no campo organizacional constituído pelos fundos de pensão.

This thesis is about change, discontinuity, instability. The theoretical perspective used to analyses the changing process was Institutional Theory, which argues that institutions has a long-term time. The institutional change has always be seen as a structural process and a incremental one, but this research aimed rescue the dynamic side of institutional change, understanding that as a result of deinstitutionalization and institutionalization processes. In order to understand the deinstitutionalization and institutionalization processes, we try to understand the concepts of interactive and iterative. So, it was possible understand that these process are interdependent and has to be understood as both side of institutional change. Nevertheless, it couldn¿t have an institutional vacuum, but a hybrid order or plural one, where a set of institutional forces would find its legitimacy. The Discourses Analysis supports this research, which was developed in Peru. A group of University professors was interviewed and we noticed that there are a lot of practices that act as micro institutional rules. In that way, we can admit that there is no vacuum, but a plural institutional order.

O modelo descentralizado, participativo e integrado de gestão de recursos hídricos que se ordena em função das bacias hidrográficas demanda um grande esforço de todos os atores envolvidos na gestão. Para compreendê-lo é essencial considerar os antecedentes históricos, os marcos legais, o arcabouço jurídico e o ferramental tecnológico moderno (sistemas de informações) que definem a representação das esferas governamentais, dos usuários de grande porte e da sociedade civil na gestão. Utilizando a teoria institucional, o conceito de campo organizacional e a tecnologia da informação, considerando sempre o poder como variável central da disputas sociais, este trabalho buscou, interpretando os discursos das entrevistas em profundidade e usando a literatura disponível, a descrição do desenvolvimento e da formação do campo formado em função do tema da gestão das águas. A escolha da teoria institucional permite obter uma visão mais abrangente do estudo das organizações, incorporando temas como valores e legitimação como elementos de sucesso das organizações em um campo. o trabalho conclui que há um campo organizacional da gestão de recursos hídricos nos moldes proposto pela teoria utilizada. Neste campo há questões centrais que dirigem a geração de valores. Este campo se completa com atores periféricos, representantes de discursos ainda não plenamente incorporados, mas que já demandam resposta dos atores centrais. A tecnologia, através dos sistemas de informações, ainda não contribui para qualquer alteração significativa na distribuição de poder no campo.

Since electric power is an essential element in modern society, this paper analyzes the historic and institutional factors that have contributed to the formation and organization of the Brazilian electric sector, from the time when it started to be used in this country until the end of year 2002. This analysis is based on a linear description of historic facts, giving emphasis to crucial events ¿ or critical incidents, as they were called for the purpose of this paper. As to these happenings, the social actors who played an important role in the development of the Brazilian electric power sector were analyzed. An analytical model based on the theoretical references offered by the Institutional Theory was used. The study also highlights the elements that comprehend the development of the phenomenon in face of the ambivalence existing in a developing country, which is the case of the Brazilian electric power sector. The organizational fields that were established at the time determined by the main crucial incidents presented throughout the length of time covered by this study. The resources that the main social actors involved in the electric power sector may use by are also identified, as well as their main interests and level of influence these actors may have. Several documents were analyzed. The qualitative methodology was used. Also, many semi-structured in-depth interviews of the people who have made the history of this sector for reliability were conducted. Finally, this study includes the main elements that have shaped the institutional model of the Brazilian electric sector. It also characterizes the external environment as the element which has most influenced the sector and has also led its way throughout the different developmental phases, especially with respect to funding. The growing rates of power consumption indicate the need for a constant increase in the supply of electric power to meet the needs of society and economic development. This requires constant investment. Lack of investment is a limiting factor. Not only does it hinder the development of the country but it may also result in very unfortunate mishaps such as electric power rationing, such as the kind we had to endure a while ago.
