Modelos de gestão e inovação social em organizações sem fins lucrativos: um estudo comparativo de casos no Brasil e no Québec

Esse trabalho se insere no campo de estudos sobre organizações sem fins lucrativos. Nas duas últimas décadas do século XX, essas organizações conheceram grande crescimento em receita, volume de trabalho e exposição na mídia. Tal crescimento foi motivado por fatores sociopolíticos, socioeconômicos e sociodemográficos. Observa-se que o crescimento veio acompanhado por mudanças em seus modelos de gestão, particularmente nas estruturas organizacional e de governança. O objetivo principal desse trabalho é desenvolver relações entre modelos de gestão de organizações sem fins lucrativos e geração de inovação social. O quadro teórico foi construído a partir de revisão bibliográfica nos seguintes conceitos: nonprofit sector, cujo referencial tem origem anglo-saxã, economia social, de origem francesa, inovação organizacional e inovação social. Trata-se de estudo qualitativo, exploratório, cujos meios de investigação são estudos de dois casos de organizações sem fins lucrativos. Os estudos de casos envolveram pesquisa de campo, investigação documental, observação participante e entrevistas com atores-chaves que trabalham nas respectivas organizações. O primeiro caso ocorreu em uma associação localizada em São Paulo, Brasil, que possui uma escola de artes; o outro, deu-se em uma cooperativa de solidariedade localizada em Montreal, Quebec, Canadá. Ao final do trabalho são indicados os resultados das análises sobre as relações entre modelos de gestão e geração de inovação social.

Communities of practice as professional and organizational development strategy in local public health organizations in Québec, Canada : an evaluation model

Communities of practice (CoPs) are among the professional development strategies most widely used in such fields as management and education. Though the approach has elicited keen interest, knowledge pertaining to its conceptual underpinnings is still limited, thus hindering proper assessment of CoPs' effects and the processes generating the latter. To address this shortcoming, this paper presents a conceptual model that was developed to evaluate an initiative based on a CoP strategy: Health Promotion Laboratories are a professional development intervention that was implemented in local public health organizations in Montreal (Quebec, Canada). The model is based on latest theories on work-group effectiveness and organizational learning and can be usefully adopted by evaluators who are increasingly called upon to illuminate decision-making about CoPs. Ultimately, validation of this conceptual model will help advance knowledge and practice pertaining to CoPs as well as professional and organizational development strategies in public health.

The difficulty of measuring culture and diversity. Comparison of three international models of cultural measurement: FCS-2009, ESSnet-2012 and CAB-2015

The growing interest in quantifying the cultural and creative industries, visualize the economic contribution of activities related to culture demands first of all the construction of internationally comparable analysis frameworks. Currently there are three major bodies which address this issue and whose comparative study is the focus of this article: the UNESCO Framework for Cultural Statistics (FCS-2009), the European Framework for Cultural Statistics (ESSnet-Culture 2012) and the methodological resource of the “Convenio Andrés Bello” group for working with the Satellite Accounts on Culture in Ibero-America (CAB-2015). Cultural sector measurements provide the information necessary for correct planning of cultural policies which in turn leads to sustaining industries and promoting cultural diversity. The text identifies the existing differences in the three models and three levels of analysis, the sectors, the cultural activities and the criteria that each one uses in order to determine the distribution of the activities by sector. The end result leaves the impossibility of comparing cultural statistics of countries that implement different frameworks.
