GESTÃO E AVALIAÇÃODE DESEMPENHO NA SHELL CABO VERDE, SARL

Cabo Verde foi alcandorado a PDM recentemente o que traz novos e grandes desafios para o seu processo de desenvolvimento. O país que tem as suas vulnerabilidades decorrentes do seu frágil tecido produtivo e da sua reduzida dimensão, para além da escassez de recursos naturais, enfrenta ainda o desafio da insularidade. Assim terá que ancorar-se em primeiro lugar nos seus recursos humanos, para enfrentar esses desafios. A questão da gestão de desempenho e recompensa começa a emergir-se no sector empresarial quer privado quer estatal, como um processo fundamental para se alcançar a excelência operacional, fundamental para enfrentar a competição nos dias de hoje. O presente estudo focou o sistema de avaliação de desempenho na Shell Cabo Verde uma filial do Grupo Shell, que é uma multinacional com uma história rica e com forte experiência no mercado Global. Procurou-se, através de um estudo de caso, fazer o levantamento e o enquadramento teórico do sistema e analisar até que ponto o mesmo tem potenciado a melhoria do desempenho organizacional através do alinhamento dos objectivos individuais e da organização. Cape Verde has recently been upgraded to a Medium Development Country condition which brings along new great challenges to its development process. The country has already its vulnerabilities due to its week productive tissue and its small dimension and beyond the lack of natural resources it has to deal with the challenge of insularity. Thus it has to anchor itself firstly in its human resources to face the challenges. The performance and reward management starts to emerge in both private’s and State’s entrepreneur sector, as a fundamental process to achieve the operational excellence in order to face the competitiveness now-a-days. This study focused the performance evaluation used in Shell Cape Verde, a company that belongs to the multinational Shell with a rich global market experience. We tried, through a case study, to understand the theoric contents of the system and analyze at what point it has enhanced the improvement of the organizational performance through the alignment of individual objectives and organizational objectives.

The role of mycorrhizas in more sustainable oil palm cultivation

Oil palm is a significant and developing crop in many developing countries. The introduction of oil palm puts pressure on natural resources because it is often planted in cleared-cut land that previously supported other crops or was forested. This has led to environmental concerns which require attention. Hence it is important that new plantations are managed in a sustainable way to reduce the impact of oil palm cultivation on ecosystems whilst maximising yield and productivity to farmers. The application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) technology is one option that can benefit both agronomic plant health and ecosystems. AMF have the potential to increase conventional agricultural productivity and are crucial for the sustainable functioning of agricultural ecosystems. This paper provides an insight into how AMF application might benefit oil palm cultivation through more sustainable management and the practical use of AMF for oil palm plantations.
