Globalização de competências tecnológicas inovadoras no contexto de industrialização recente: evidências de uma amostra de institutos de pesquisa e desenvolvimento (P&D) em Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) no Brasil

This dissertation adds new evidences and explanations to two distinct streams of debate. The first one refers to the globalisation (or dissemination) of technological innovative capabilities in the context of newly industrialised economies. The second one refers to common generalisations about the deterioration of the innovative capabilities in Latin American countries after 1990. This study was motivated by a lack of empirical studies focused on the relationship between the globalisation of innovative capabilities and sources to build them up in emerging organisations, especially R&D institutes. This dissertation is focused on the globalisation of innovative capabilities at the information and communication technology industry in Brazil. The globalisation of innovative capabilities is measured by the technological capabilities types and levels of 18 national R&D institutes related to this industry. Besides, this dissertation examines sources to build up innovative capabilities in the sampled institutes, namely: their intra-organisational learning processes and the linkages established with firms and the technological infra-structure. The study is based on first-hand empirical evidences, collected by different data-gathering sources in an extensive fieldwork. The data were examined with analytical frameworks, organised in the light of the theoretical basis of the study. The study has found the dissemination of innovative capabilities has been occurring in the Brazilian ICT industry with the involvement of the technological infra-structure with innovative activities. Besides that, the variety of the intra-organisational learning processes and the types of linkages established with technological infra-structure and firms have been influencing the development of innovative capabilities. The evidences that emerge from this study contradict common generalizations and arguments about the inexistence of innovative activities and about the technological infra-structure weakness in emerging or newly industrialized economies.

A avaliação de desempenho como processo essencialmente humano: a meta-avaliação da empresa X

A Avaliação de Desempenho geralmente é vista como uma ferramenta na qual a subjetividade é um viés a ser controlado. O presente trabalho traça uma trajetória da Avaliação, desde o seu surgimento até os dias atuais. Este levantamento histórico apresenta o tratamento dado às questões do Humano até o momento, a partir da revisão de vários autores. Utilizando um referencial quantitativo e qualitativo, unindo a Abordagem Fenomenológica e a Matriz de Correlações, foi realizada a Meta-Avaliação do processo de uma empresa na qual a prática da Avaliação ocorre há alguns anos, sendo considerada ponto importante para o seu sucesso. O presente estudo demonstra que o Humano é parte indissociável da Avaliação, a qual não pode mais ser considerada como ferramenta, mas como processo. Ao invés do controle da subjetividade, vista anteriormente mais como fonte de problemas e distorções, propõe-se o reconhecimento mais amplo de sua presença: tanto em seus aspectos complexos e problemáticos como em seu enorme potencial de desenvolvimento e aprendizado. Ao invés do controle, propõe-se o engajamento; ao invés de retirar o máximo possível a subjetividade, tê-la como aliada; ao invés de uma ferramenta minuciosamente estruturada, um processo flexível que acompanhe o dinamismo inerente ao Humano. Ou seja, ter o Humano da Avaliação atuando a favor do processo, cujo grande fim é o aprendizado.

Metodologia de custeio baseado em atividades implementada no Banco Central do Brasil: uma análise de seus desdobramentos

In the last years, there has been a strong tendency of transferring typical business management concepts and practices to the public administration, such as: efficiency, efficacy, effectiveness, economy, operational excellence, results and transparency. The limited offer of resources, as well as the growing demand for accountability, justifies that movement. In order to put the aforementioned concepts into operation, the public administration uses some mechanisms, among them cost management. This dissertation focuses on the use of cost management systems, based on an activity-based costing (ABC) method, by Brazilian public entities. The present analysis is conducted from the ABC system implemented in the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN) - an indirect public administration autarchy - the main goal of this study is to examine its outcomes since the implementation of the system. The investigation went through three main questions: if the system is being used, if it is fulfilling the objectives sought and, finally, if it is providing the expected benefits. Semi-structured interviews were made with members of the institution; and, according to the assumptions and tools tailored for this study, the collected data were analysed qualitatively. Evidences indicate that information, when not manipulated in a systematic way, hinder not only the incorporation of the cost system to the routine, but also the achievement of the goals and benefits aimed with such implementation.

The main point found in this research results concern the immanent ethical commitment of that public service personnel, including staff members and low ranking members as well, perceived due to a brief philosophical overlook on that personnel¿s attitudes. An important strategic aspect was revealed by the need for excellence of midia communications and education programs to implement the community involvement in the whole process. Final reflections point out that personnel posture is considered vital for the quality of the expected care of the technical activities and also for the quality of its final products release to the local public, fluminense, which is the irreplaceable human blood, and their derivatives. Despite the author¿s effort in this dissertation there is much more to be studied on that crucial theme.
