A economia do crowdfunding

Crowdfunding is a collective financing tool that has gained notoriety in recent years. Among its qualities, it allows founders easy access to data from previous projects, which tends to reduce the information asymmetry and thereby provide greater certainty for project. As this is a mechanism that, in a way, breaks the paradigm of traditional systems of financing, it is quite relevant in evolutionary economics studies. Other factors that make the common ground between crowdfunding and the evolutionary economics. The goal of this study is to evaluate the crowdfunding's potential in selecting projects properly and being an alternative to traditional sources of financing to entrepreneurs

Simulação numérica de fluxo de águas subterrâneas do aquífero Rio Claro, na região do campus da UNESP - Rio Claro, SP

The water management in any area is highly important to the success of many business and also of life and the understanding of your relationship with the environment brings better control to its demand. I.e. hydrogeological studies are needed under better understanding of the behavior of an aquifer, so that its management is done so as not to deplete or harm it. The objective of this work is the numerical modeling in transient regime of a portion of the Rio Claro aquifer formation in order to get answers about its hydrogeological parameters, its main flow direction and also its most sensitive parameters. A literature review and conceptual characterization of the aquifer, combined with field campaigns and monitoring of local water level (NA), enabled the subsequent construction of the mathematical model by finite elements method, using the FEFLOW 6.1 ® computational algorithm. The study site includes the campus of UNESP and residential and industrial areas of Rio Claro city. Its area of 9.73 km ² was divided into 318040 triangular elements spread over six layers, totaling a volume of 0.25 km³. The local topography and geological contacts were obtained from previous geological and geophysical studies as well as profiles of campus wells and SIAGAS / CPRM system. The seven monitoring wells on campus were set up as observation points for calibration and checking of the simulation results. Sampling and characterization of Rio Claro sandstones shows up a high hydrological and lithological heterogeneity for the aquifer formation. The simulation results indicate values of hydraulic conductivity between 10-6 and 10-4 m / s, getting the Recharge/Rainfall simulation in transient ratio at 13%. Even with the simplifications imposed on the model, it was able to represent the fluctuations of local NA over a year of monitoring. The result was the exit of 3774770 m³ of water and the consequently NA fall. The model is considered representative for the...

EDiferentes tipologias de edificação e o ser sustentável mediante o LEED e o CBCS

The principles and dimensions of sustainability concept is increasingly gaining ground within the building industry. Over the past decades, its applicability within the different environments and for different buildings typologies have been study to attend better the present populations and future generations. It is within this scenario that international certifications started to appear. The most famous and developed one being LEED certification system. In Brazil, as a support to the certification and also sustainability practices and conducts, was founded the Brazilian Council for Sustainable Construction (CBCS). The council and the certifications have the objective to disseminate and generate awareness to reduce energy and water consumption, aiming for life quality. Many constructions around de country have already the international certification, which also boost the rise of national certifications with specific criteria for the national context. However, such certificates are mainly destiny for medium and high standard buildings, often as a commercial advantage to explain the high costs. The purpose of this work is to be able to define what is being sustainable in the construction industry, taking for basis, LEED and CBCS. In addition, since there is a significant increase in the production of Housing Social Interest, the other angles will be to analyze how to apply the practices and sustainable technologies for low-cost projects with the objective to balance the three dimensions of sustainability: environmental, social and economics.

Revista Crás!: quadrinhos brasileiros e industria editorial

Este artigo tem como objetivo resgatar a trajetória das histórias em quadrinhos brasileiras na década de 1970, considerada de especial relevância para o avanço da arte gráfica sequencial no Brasil. Nesse período, observa-se, de um lado, iniciativas de pequenas editoras localizadas em vários estados brasileiros, e, de outro, empreendimentos feitos por editoras de grande porte na publicação de material nacional. Como estudo de caso, apresenta a revista Crás!, produzida pela Editora Abril, de São Paulo, que reuniu talentos veteranos e jovens da arte gráfica sequencial brasileira. A análise dessa publicação revela as dificuldades do quadrinho brasileiro frente às necessidades e limites das editoras comerciais e do mercado editorial no país.

Formulação de Estratégias no Turismo: um estudo em órgãos municipais do Estado de São Paulo

O objetivo desta pesquisa é investigar a formulação de estratégias em órgãos públicos municipais de turismo do Estado de São Paulo. Para este fim realizou-se um estudo de casos múltiplos em seis municípios: Santos, Guarujá, Praia Grande, São Caetano do Sul, Rio Grande da Serra e Guarulhos. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Constatou-se que estes órgãos municipais desenvolvem um encaminhamento lógico na formulação de estratégias, os quais apresentam em seus estágios iniciais características de informalidade, e na evolução deste processo contemplam-se necessidades e desejos dos consumidores e de outros stakeholders. Todo o processo de formulação de estratégias recebe influência de diversos stakeholders. As principais dificuldades encontradas no processo de formulação estratégica foram: falta de mobilização coletiva, conflitos de interesses e carência de recursos.

Construir cidade ou construir habitação: "Programa minha casa minha vida" no município de São Carlos

Implantado no Brasil pelo Governo Federal no ano de 2009, o Programa "Minha casa minha vida" (PMCMV), gerido pelo Ministério das Cidades e operacionalizado pela Caixa Econômica Federal (CEF), com recursos do Fundo de Arrendamento Residencial (FAR), visa a construção ou requalificação de empreendimentos habitacionais na forma de condomínios ou loteamentos.

Financiamento de parques tecnológicos: um estudo comparativo de casos brasileiros, portugueses e espanhóis

O mercado globalizado e de competição intensiva, no qual países e empresas estão inseridos, demanda uma busca constante por inovação. Entre os habitats de estímulo à inovação com diversas iniciativas pelo mundo, e também no Brasil, estão os chamados parques tecnológicos. Um dos grandes desafios para a implantação e a operacionalização desses empreendimentos é a obtenção de recursos. Surge, então, a questão: quais os mecanismos de financiamento de que a organização gestora de um parque tecnológico dispõe para realizar as fases de planejamento, implantação e operacionalização dos elementos constitutivos e serviços oferecidos por esse tipo de empreendimento? O objetivo neste trabalho é levantar e comparar os mecanismos de financiamento utilizados nas etapas citadas dos empreendimentos: Tecnopuc, Polo de Informática de São Leopoldo e Sapiens Parque, instalados no Brasil; Biocant Park e Taguspark, instalados em Portugal; Parque Tecnológico de Cartuja 93, Parque Tecnológico de Andalucia, Parque Científico de Barcelona, Parque Tecnológico de Bizkaia e Parque Tecnológico de Álava, instalados na Espanha. O que se pode observar em todos os casos estudados é que, mesmo apresentando organizações gestoras, atores e estruturas diferenciadas, o financiamento das fases de implantação não se deu somente por meio de recursos públicos ou privados, mas também por meio de parcerias. Além disso, verificou-se que as diferenças encontradas nos modelos de financiamento podem ser atribuídas, principalmente, a cinco fatores: participantes da organização gestora; modelo jurídico da organização gestora; elementos constitutivos de propriedade da organização gestora; atração de infraestruturas tecnológicas e empresas âncoras; disponibilidade de fundos públicos de fomento ao desenvolvimento tecnológico e econômico.

The succession process at social enterprises in Brazil

This research was based on a study of social enterprises in Brazil, to find out if and how these organizations plan and manage the succession process for their senior positions. The study investigated the subset of the associations dedicated to collectively producing goods and services, because they are formally set up and aimed at speeding up the dynamism of local development. The empirical research consisted of two stages. The first was a survey covering a sample of 378 organizations, to find out which of those had already undergone or were undergoing a succession process. The second interviewed the main manager of 32 organizations, to obtain a description of their succession experience. In this stage, the research aimed to analyze how the Individual, Organization and Environment dimensions interact to configure the succession process, identifying which factors of each of these dimensions can facilitate or limit this process. The following guiding elements were taken as the analytical basis: Individual dimension - leadership roles, skill and styles; Organization dimension - structure, planning, advisory boards, communication (transparency), control and evaluation; and Environment dimension - influence of the stakeholders (community, suppliers, clients, and business partners) on the succession process. The results indicated that succession in the researched associations is in the construction stage: it adapts to the requirements of current circumstances but is evidently in need of improvement in order for more effective planning and shared management of the process to be achieved.
