MBA – Finanças 1995/97 working paper

O principal objectivo deste estudo centra-se no estudo da influência do capital de risco na performance das empresas que já beneficiaram deste instrumento, procurando assim enriquecer o campo de investigação, ainda incipiente, neste domínio. Tendo como enquadramento o papel daquele instrumento na intermediação financeira, a evolução do sector ao nível internacional e doméstico e sobretudo atendendo aos resultados de análises de estatística multivariada e de clusters efectuadas sobre uma amostra de empresas participadas por capital de risco em Portugal, conclui-se neste estudo que existe efectivamente um impacto relevante da sua intervenção na rentabilidade económica das empresas alvo (ROI), sendo ainda traçado o perfil destas empresa e sugeridas recomendações, não só aos operadores de capital de risco, como também às entidades intervenientes no sector, com especial destaque para o Estado, estas últimas baseadas em posições de entidades nacionais e europeias ligadas ao sector de capital de risco como a APCRI, a EVCA e a própria Comissão Europeia.

Working in partnership with the Museum Training Institute providing in service training for museum personnel

The South Eastern Museums Service is one of ten Area Museums Councils in Great Britain. They are partnerships; membership organizations to which the 2 000 + museums belong. They provide advice, support, technical services, information and training for their members. They are the principal channel of government grant-in-aid to local government, university and independent museums. This funding comes from the Department of National Heritage via the Museums & Galleries Commission. At the South Eastern Museums Service I am responsible for the development and delivery of training for 600 museums in our region and the provision of information about museums and of interest to museums. This paper explains how we approach in-service training and the value of the definition of national standards for our work. It will pose some questions: What is training? What is a training need? and describe a new initiative, the development of training materials and their delivery.

Give or take: thoughts on museum collections as working tools and their connection with human beings

This paper proposes a look at museums from the perspective of sociomuseology, an area of research and practice under development in countries such as Portugal, Brazil and Spain. Sociomuseology was born from the Latin new museology tradition and is closely connected with the International Movement for a New Museology (MINOM/ICOM). The Lusofona University in Lisbon offers MA and PhD programmes in Sociomuseology. The University supports a research centre in Sociomuseology and publishes the journals Cadernos de Sociomuseologia, in Portuguese, and Sociomuseology, in English (for more information see http://tercud.ulusofona.pt.). Sociomuseology concerns the study of the social role of museums and of the continuous changes in society that frame their trajectories. The practice of sociomuseologists is based on their work with the different dimensions of social and community development from ecomuseums to networking and other ways of organizing social action in the 21st century in which heritage plays a strategic role.
