This dissertation seeks to add new evidence to the international debate on globalization of innovation in the developing countries context. Globalization of innovation, in this dissertation, is defined and measured by the types, levels and rate of innovative technological capability accumulation and the underlying technological learning processes (sources of capabilities) at the firm level in late-industrializing countries ¿ or developing countries. This relationship is examined within a large transnational corporation (TNC) subsidiary of the information and communication technology (ICT) sector in Brasil: Motorola do Brasil during over the period from 1996 to 2006. In the international literature there is a strong debate on the extent to which innovative technological capabilities have been spreading internationally. But, the most of the studies are focused on early industrialized countries. In other words, there is still a scarcity of analysis, mainly at the firm level, from the perspective of developing countries. This dissertation supports itself in analytical basis developed in the international literature on accumulation of technological capabilities and learning in the context of developing countries. The learning processes examined in this dissertation are: (i) intra-firm learning processes; (ii) inter-firm learning processes (links between mother and sister companies); and (iii) links between the firm and other organizations of the innovation system (universities, research institutes, among others). Based on first-hand empirical evidence, qualitative and quantitative, collected on the basis of extensive fieldwork, this dissertation examines these issues with adequate level of detail and depth, in this large company in Brazil. The study results suggest that: Concerning the path of the technological capability accumulation, the firm exhibited heterogeneity in the path of accumulation of technological capabilities to distinct functions. For the functions Software Engineering and Process and Management Project the firm reached the Level 6 (Innovative Intermediate Superior), on a scale that ranges from 1 to 7; In relation to technological capability sources, the firm deliberately sought and built sources of knowledge in order to develop and sustain its innovative technological capabilities. The dissertation, thus, contributes to adding new empirical evidence to the debate on globalization of innovative capabilities from a late-industrializing perspective.

As redes de televisão aberta podem ser de consideradas ¿ pelas abrangência territorial e demográfica, assim como pelo poder de influência junto à população ¿ um dos mais valiosos elementos da indústria de comunicação brasileira. No momento em que se comemora os 50 anos das transmissões de televisão no país, pode-se constatar o desenvolvimento vigoroso com que o setor se encaminha ao futuro, em um ambiente de mudanças tecnológicas e legislativas, e concorrência acirrada com os demais veículos de comunicação e os novos meios de difusão de informações, como a Internet. Pressupostos amparados por uma visão sistêmica e valorizados pela validação dos imperativos contingênciais permitem acreditar-se que as redes de televisão tendem a evoluir em suas formas de organização e estratégias operacionais, ao pretenderem manter a posição de principais agentes de disseminação dos valores sociais, comportamentos e hábitos de consumo. Na ótica do presente trabalho, três fatores são permanentemente observados pelo setor na elaboração de suas estratégias e estruturas. Competência básica do negócio, possibilidades de terceirização e percepções a respeito da qualidade do produto foram os temas que sustentaram os levantamentos documentais e entrevistas na construção deste estudo, que não pretende ser definitivo nem absoluto, em função da própria dinâmica do campo analisado.

As organizações - reproduzindo e aperfeiçoando a fónnula de substituição do trabalho do século XIX - estão investindo em novos modelos de gestão e tecnologias modernas, com o objetivo de reduzir seus custos, aperfeiçoar os seus produtos e agilizar os seus serviços. Sentindo a necessidade de se inserir nesse contexto~ o Estado, assim entendido como um todo, e, especialmente, o Poder Judiciário do Estado do Espírito Santo, tem buscado adaptar-se a tais mudanças, visto que o seu modelo administrativo e jurisdicional há muito tempo encontra-se ultrapassado, necessitando de novas abordagens. Entretanto, muitas têm sido as resistências à modernização administrativa e tecnológica, tanto por parte de uma corrente de juristas tradicionalistas, que, constantemente promovem um movimento de retomo a padrões e conceitos antigos, quanto pela escassez de recursos financeiros . A inovação envolve sempre o elemento de incerteza e, embora a história da humanidade detenha, durante a sua trajetória, registros de inovações em modelos de gestão e significativos avanços tecnológicos, atualmente eles vêm exigindo um maior percentual de conhecimentos diversificados, quebrando paradigmas que influenciam no comportamentodas organizações/instituições, num processo irreversível de crescimento dinâmico. A relevância desta pesquisa residiu em analisar o modelo de gestão e a inovação tecnológica do Poder Judiciário do Estado do Espírito Santo, a partir das transformações mundiais, além da sua importância nos mecanismos jurisdicionais, seja instantaneamente ou após um período de aprendizado combinado com a aceitação da inovação. Pretendeu-se, ainda, conhecer os efeitos dessas mudanças na cultura da instituição, tais como possíveis causas de resistência.

This dissertation presents a research aimed at identifying and explaining the individual perceptions as far as the introduction of computer technology concerning the organization change process and the reason underlying those changes, utilizing for study purposes, a customer attendance agency of INSS , located in São Luís-MA, which data collection was carried out by interviews with three managers and application of to thirty employees, all of them working at the unit researched. The core point was to identify feelings and perceptions of individuals, and the reason steering the change actions deployed in this office. Based on this perception, it is presented a literature review on the main thinkers who discussed the role, and the relevance of reasoning in the development of human relations, both in the organizations and in society. To start with, Max Weber thinking on rationality was introduced, on the sequence, the discussion raised by the Frankfurt School in its first phase, mainly on the Max Horkheimer thinking and finally it is shown a summary of Jurgen Habermas thinking, mainly concerning its communicative action theory proposed as a path to emancipation of individual of current instrumental reasoning. Summing up, we can conclude from this research that perceptions, feelings and opinions indicate that the institution uses to discuss with the civil servants the implementation of change process. For those servants the excessive functional control, the limitation of knowledge production and an artificial functional integration are consequences of the shape and intensity, as well as of computer technologies deployed in the institution. It is also shared by most of civil servants, including managers, that the overall participation would have more validity and would decrease the resistance to those changes. And it is also worth registering that despite of the servants having job stability, only 50% have positive expectations as far as its future in the institution.

This dissertation is concerned with the implications of the learning processes for the technological capability accumulation at the firm level. This relationship was examined in Kvaerner Pulping over the period from 1980 to 2000. The firm is located in Curitiba/PR and supplies equipment and complete plants (capital goods) for pulp mills. In other words, based on an individual case study, this dissertation examines how the learning processes influence the building and accumulation of technological capability. The accumulation of technological capabilities is crucial for the survival and the competitive performance of the firms. An analytical framework already available in the literature was used to describe the paths (way and speed) of technological capability accumulation in the firm studied. However, the framework was adapted specifically for the capital goods industry for the pulp & paper sector. The paths of technological capability accumulation are analysed for three different technological functions: ¿engineering activities and project management¿, ¿operational processes and practices¿ and ¿process equipment¿. The learning mechanisms were examined in the light of four key features: variety, intensity, functioning and interaction. During the 1980s and 1990s the firm accumulated different levels of technological capability in the technological functions studied. It was only when the firm started to coordinate systematically the efforts to acquire and convert the knowledge from the individual to the organizational level, at the mid 1990s, that the accumulation of technological capability was accelerated. By the end of this decade the firm was able to accumulate innovative capabilities in all the functions analysed. Similarly to previous studies that investigated other types of firms, the conclusion of this dissertation suggests that the way and rate by which the firm accumulates technological capability can be explained by the learning process and its key features over time.

O estudo em tela buscou verificar o nível de exigência das organizações no que se refere aos requisitos individuais dos candidatos a emprego, intermediados pelo SINE/RJ, nos processos de recrutamento promovidos no universo de atuação da SETRAB - Secretaria de Estado do Trabalho do Rio de Janeiro. Este meio foi utilizado por ser o SINE/RJ o principal e mais importante instrumento de encaminhamento de candidatos a emprego do Estado. O fato de haver necessidade de promover este tipo de serviço, torna o SINE/RJ um importante órgão social e fonte significativa de dados para pesquisas desta natureza. Verificou-se que certos requisitos permanecem valorizados, como escolaridade e experiência por exemplo, e outros surgem como novidade demonstrando mudança - morar próximo ao local de trabalho e ser jovem. Além destes aspectos, verificou-se que há diversas correntes de pensamento sobre as causas do desemprego, de dificultadores da empregabilidade. Assim, também se pode considerar que as organizações valorizam o cargo mais flexível e que a depender do nível, falar inglês e dominar a informática podem, de certa forma, favorecer o aproveitamento do candidato, ou seja, certa corrente de pensamento aponta para a qualificação como forma de vencer a escassez de vagas. Já outros afirmam que o problema é conjuntural e, a não ser que se modifique a estrutura econômica, será difícil empregar todos os que procuram trabalho. Uma terceira corrente afirma que o momento é de transição e que a "mão invislvel do mercado logo ajustará as coisas". Afirmam estes que a tecnologia acaba com empregos arcaicos, mas cria outros na mesma proporção. São então pontos de vista que na verdade são colocados de acordo com a ideologia dos estudiosos. São hipóteses aceitas por certos setores específicos da mídia e daqueles que buscam respostas para o que ora aflige, e isso é um fato, grande parcela da sociedade brasileira. No caso específico do SINE/RJ, órgão governamental, a expectativa é que a partir do conhecimento factual da realidade, possam ser empreendi- das ações no sentido de favorecer à colocação da mão-de-obra ociosa e ávida por uma oportunidade de emprego. A Secretaria Estadual do Trabalho promove ações de treinamento e qualificação de pessoal com o intuito de facilitar o acesso de desempregados a cargos que, muitas vezes, deixam de ser preenchidos por falta de pessoas preparadas para ocupá-los. Pode-se concluir que dentre as diversas formas de ver o problema, há na verdade uma certa concorrência de causas para o estabelecimento da situação atual. O fato é que algo precisa ser feito para amenizar o que DEJOURS (1999) denomina de "Banalização da Injustiça Sociar e, por ser uma quarta corrente, também deve merecer a atenção das autoridades, em ações sociais facilitadoras do acesso e manutenção das pessoas no mercado de trabalho. Esta corrente (que além de DEJOURS, tem outros adeptos), trata o assunto como sendo algo não aleatório mas intencional. Para esta linha de pensamento, o desemprego é algo deliberado, com intuitos econômicos, além de uma certa dose de crueldade social. Enfim, espera-se que os dirigentes sejam sensibilizados e possa haver solução para este tipo de dificuldade social.

This dissertation aims at examining empirical evidences obtained in the light of taxonomies and strategies for measuring firms technological capabilities and innovation in the context of developing countries, motivated by the fact that debates and studies directed to innovation has been intensified, for the last thirty years, by the recognition of its vital and growing importance to the technological, economic, competitive and industrial development of firms and countries. Two main tendencies can be identified on this debate. At one side, it¿s the literature related to the developed countries logic, whose companies are, in majority, positioned at the technological frontier, characterized by the domain of innovative advanced capabilities, directed to its sustaining, deepening and renewal. At the other side, there are the perspectives directed to the developing countries reality, where there is a prevalence of companies with deficiency of resources, still in process of accumulating basic and intermediate technological capabilities, with characteristics and technological development trajectories distinct or even reverse from those of developing countries. From this last tradition of studies, the measuring approaches based in C&T indicators and in types and levels of technological capabilities stand out. The first offers a macro level, aggregated perspective, through the analysis of a representative sample of firms, seeking to the generation of internationally comparable data, without addressing the intraorganizational specificities and nuances of the paths of technological accumulation developed by the firms, using, mostly, R&D statistics, patents, individual qualifications, indicators that carry their own limitations. On the other hand, studies that examine types and levels of technological capabilities are scarce, usually directed to a small sample of firms and/or industrial sectors. Therefore, in the light of the focus and potentialities of each of the perspectives, this scenario exposes a lack of studies that examine, in a parallel and complementary way, both types of strategies, seeking to offer more realistic, consistent and concrete information about the technological reality of developing countries. In order to close this gap, this dissertation examines (i) strategies of innovation measurement in the contexts of developing countries based on traditional approaches and C&T indicators, represented by four innovation surveys - ECIB, PINTEC, PAEP and EAI, and, (ii) from the perspective of technological capabilities as an intrinsic resource of the firm, the development of which occurs in a cumulative way and based on learning, presents and extracts generalizations of empirical applications of a metric that identifies types and levels of technological capabilities, through a dynamic and intra-firm perspective. The exam of the empirical evidences of the two approaches showed what each one of the metrics are capable to offer and the way they can contribute to the generation of information that reflect the technological development of specific industrial sectors in developing countries. In spite of the fact that the focus, objective, perspective, inclusion, scope and lens used are substantially distinct, generating, on a side, an aggregated view, and of other, an intra-sector, intra-organizational and specific view, the results suggest that the use of one doesn't implicate discarding or abdicating the other. On the contrary, using both in a complementary way means the generation of more complete, rich and relevant evidences and analysis that offer a realistic notion of the industrial development and contribute in a more direct way to the design of corporate strategies and government policies, including those directed to the macro level aspects just as those more specific and focused, designed to increment and foment firms in-house innovative efforts.

The main purpose of this work is to show how the investments in training influence the financial returns of Aracruz Celulose S.A., in the period from january/1998 to december/2000. The data will be treated using quantitative and qualitative parameters. Our analyses will be based on the practical elements. In order to study the idea of investment return in terms of training and questions involving motivation, a knowledge of learning, which is in itself complex because of the varieties of learning theories which don¿t fit into the cultural models being studied, we direct our attention to the necessity of a model which understands the problems of existing conditions. For so much, the most appropriate method for the treatment of data relative to motivation, to knowledge and to learning, will be the ex post facto, because this refers to facts abready known and the researcher would be unable to control or manipulate the variables.

Esta dissertação estuda o relacionamento entre a acumulação de competências tecnológicas e os processos subjacentes de aprendizagem. O estudo desse relacionamento foi examinado na fábrica de eletrônica de consumo Sharp do Brasil S/A, situada na cidade de Manaus, durante o período de 1972 a 2000. A acumulação e sustentação de competências tecnológicas são desenvolvidas através de processos de aprendizagem nas organizações. Os processos de aprendizagem estão relacionados diretamente à taxa de acumulação de competências tecnológicas das organizações. A dissertação, utilizando a estrutura de análise existente na literatura, examina os processos de aprendizagem à luz de quatro características: variedade, intensidade, funcionamento e interação. A acumulação de competências é analisada a partir de duas funções tecnológicas: processo/organização e produtos. Ao longo do periodo analisado, a empresa acumulou diferentes níveis de competências tecnológicas e com velocidades variadas nas funções estudadas. Na década de 80, a empresa através de uma melhor coordenação de esforços, passou a adquirir e converter conhecimentos individuais em conhecimentos organizacionais, acelerando o crescimento da taxa de competências tecnológicas acumuladas. Ainda no final da década 80, a empresa foi capaz de acumular competências inovadoras nas duas funções estudadas. A acumulação de competências tecnológicas é um aspecto importante a competitividades e sobrevivência das organizações. No entanto, somente a acumulação de competências tecnológicas não garante o bom desempenho e a sobrevivência da organização. A empresa estudada, apesar da acumulação de elevados níveis de competências tecnológicas ao longo do periodo, enfrenta uma grande crise financeira. A conclusão desta dissertação sugere que a taxa de acumulação de competências tecnológicas pode ser explicada pela capacidade da empresa em socializar e codificar a aprendizagem individual, adquiridas por processos externos e internos de aprendizagem aplicados de forma contínua e organizada, convertendo em aprendizagem organizacional.

The main objective of this dissertation is to examine the implications of technological capacities in the improvement of technical performance indexes, specifically at the company level. These relationships were examined in a small sample of metal-working enterprises in the state of Rio de Janeiro (1960 to 2006). Although diverse studies on technological competences have been carried out in the last twenty years, a gap in empirical studies still exist that correlate the performance of companies in the context of developing countries, especially in Brazil. Aiming to contribute to a reduction of these gaps, this dissertation examines the questions by the light of available models in literature, which opting themselves to using operational indexes of companies. For drawing the accumulation of technological competences in this study, the metric proposal by Figueiredo (2000) shall be used indicating the levels of technological qualification in process, product, and equipment functions. The empirical evidence examined in this dissertation is both qualitative and quantitative in nature and were collected, first hand, through extensive field research involving informal interviews, meetings, direct-site observation and document analysis. In relation to the results, the evidence suggests that: - In terms of technological accumulation, a company reached Level 5 of technological capacity in process and organization of production as well as product and equipment. Three companies obtained Level 4 in the function process function while two others had reached the same technological level in the functions of product and equipment. Two companies had reached Level 3 in the product and equipment functions and one remained this level in the function of process; - In terms of the rate of accumulation of technological capacities, the observed companies had reached Level 4 needs 29 years in process function, 32 years in product function and 29 years in equipment function; - In terms of improvement performance pointers, a company which reached Level 5 of technological capacity improved in 70% of its indicators of performance, while the company that had achieved Level 4 had raised its pointers 60% and the other companies had gotten improved in the order of 40%. It was evidenced that the majority of the pointers of the companies with higher levels of technological capacities had obtained better performance. This dissertation contributes to advancing the strategic management of companies in metal-working segment to understanding internal accumulation of technological capacity and indicators of performance especially in the field of empirical context studied. This information offers management examples of how to improve competitive performance through the accumulation of technological capacities in the process, product and equipment functions.

This academic work describes the interfirm technological learning processes behavior at a thermo plant throughout the years 2001 till 2007. Its former ownership structure was composed by two foreigners companies. This structure was changed by the acquisition of the company control by a Brazilian state owned company on April 2006. The company is a Natural Gas Fired Power Plant placed at Macaé City, at Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil generating electric power right to National Integrated System (SIN). The goal of this research is verify how the technological knowledge had been acquired by the firm and how it had been spread out throughout the organization before and after the change of the ownership structure. The taxonomy applied to determining of ownership structure take in account three parameters: type, specific characteristic and the ownership structure itself. Technological Learning Interfirm Processes have been examined from a model of systemic approach that establishes four key characteristics: ¿variety, intensity, functioning and interaction¿. During 2001 until 2006, till the change of owner structure, the firm developed its own learning processes in its own operational routines. The main learning processes have been identified from empirical evidences. It has been adopted the cut line at year of 2006 for the comparison among the technological learning processes behavior, when the change of ownership structure took place. The data capture occurred within April and August 2007 covering since 2001. Verified the behavior of these learning processes before and after the ownership structure changed from private property to state owned property. The conclusion of this case study suggests that interfirm processes of technological learning identified by the research had their dynamical behavior promptly affected by a change from private to ownerstate ownership structure, exposing the company to a poor performance in its industry, due to the lack of 51% of the technological intrafirm learning processes and reduction of the acquisition of new technical knowledge and its conversion throughout the organization.
