Arquitetura organizacional: âncora ou impulso para a modernização da gestão educacional

o objetivo do presente trabalho é discutir e refletir sobre se a modelagem organizacional que contém propostas para a promoção de mudança organizacional impulsiona-a ou ao contrário serve apenas de âncora estagnante do processo de mudança, utilizando-se para isso, de pesquisa empírica realizada na Secretaria Municipal de Educação do Rio de Janeiro - (SMEIRJ), buscando-se através desse caso específico, discutir o tema na área de gestão educacional. Assim, pretende-se verificar se a influência de modelos formais de estruturação do sistema de ensino e de enfoques e ênfases adotados em sua gestão apresentam soluções sobre o que se tem, endemicamente, denominado de fracasso escolar . Pode-se constatar, a partir do presente trabalho, que o novo modelo organizacional e de gestão em processo de implantação na SME/RJ ainda não transformou a Secretaria em espaço aberto no sentido de que o cidadão, o aluno, o professor, o funcionário, a escola e a comunidade se mesclem com inteira liberdade aos atores centrais da organização que, a despeito de alguns avanços, está consciente de que resta muito a realizar. Preservou as velhas estruturas burocráticas e de poder que dominam esse processo, a despeito do racional e lógico modelo desenvolvido pela SME/RJ, a partir de 1993, que procura valorizar o profissional do ensino, promover a descentralização administração de forma a garantir maior flexibilidade e propiciar uma gestão participativa.

O impacto do processo educacional da eletrobrás sobre as dimensões do desempenho organizacional

O presente trabalho é produto de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e de campo sobre o sentido da evolução da Teoria das Organizações e o seu impacto nas atividades de treinamento e educação na Eletrobrás. A avaliação dos resultados dos programas de desenvolvimento de Recursos Humanos carece de maior precisão, pela sua própria natureza qualitativa. Paradoxalmente, as ações administrativas, que geram resultados de difícil mensuração, são colocadas em segundo plano, em detrimento das que provocam resultados quantificáveis e de curto prazo. Tal miopia revela o caráter pragmático adotado em muitos modelos de gestão, não promovendo a qualidade. A avaliação do desempenho organizacional é assunto central a ser discutido nessa dissertação, e torna-se mais complexa quando verificamos a existência de suas diferentes dimensões: a eficiência, eficácia e efetividade e a relevância do humano. A evolução dos estudos em administração demonstrou um sentido que vai desde os modelos de maior grau de burocratização e instrumentalização do homem na organização, até a mais satisfatória humanização, emancipação e autonomia no trabalho. Assim, os programas de treinamento e desenvolvimento podem dar uma grande contribuição neste sentido, deslocando o desempenho organizacional, de uma ênfase na eficiência, para as dimensões mais abrangentes da efetividade e relevância do humano. Quando tal desenvolvimento ocorrer, não haverá mais ¿recurso¿ humano , pois o mesmo se apresentará em aberto, diferente de outros recursos organizacionais.

Fábrica de Software : um estudo de caso na Dataprev, sob a ótica da estrutura organizacional

The aim of this case study was to investigate how the evolutionary process of the development of software, especially the change of paradigm for the factory software, has affected the structure of the Board of Relacionamento, Desenvolvimento e Informações - DRD at a public company called Dataprev and also reflecting or not a return to the model taylorist-fordist of the organization on production. For this study, there were interviews and a questionnaire applied, as well as documentary and literature review on the following topics: organizational structure, factory software, taylorism and fordism. From the data collected and analyzed, in the perspective studied, it was understood that there is not a return to the model taylorist-fordist to organize the production in the process of adopting the concept of a software factory in Dataprev. In addition to that, there was a flexibility in the organizational structure of its units of development - the softwares factories Dataprev.

Visões das gerências da auditoriainterna da Petrobras sobre a sua estratégia de atuação em facedas práticas de mercado e da nova modelagem organizacional da companhia

The purpose of this study is to identify the strategic vision of the Internal Audit Department of Petrel Brasileiro S.A. PETROBRAS, in comparison with the audit function's proposals and practices in competitive organizations and their reality. It also aims at the verification of the possible solutions, within Petrobras itself, so as to constantly add value to the business and to the shareholders. With this in mind, a research was carried out, contemplating the conceptual proposals and market practices related to auditing and to the current diagnosis and the organizational model of Petrobras, so as to choose elements for comparison and analysis of such vision. The results of this research pointed in the direction of questioning the organizational value of the internal audit action, concluding that it will only be possible to continuously attain such value by means of a permanent coordination with the organization's strategic level. This is especially true if the audit action participates effectively in the process of Corporate Governance, in defining the risks, the internal control system and the measurement of corporate performance, as related to the development of the strategic plan. However, any action along these lines is still heavily impacted and limited by several aspects of culture and relationship of the organizational power as well as by the beliefs of the organization and of the body of auditors. The involvement of the auditors as employees was also considered relevant in the auditing process, by means of the participation of the audited entities in self assessment2. This procedure is still not sufficiently guaranteed by successful experiments in major organizations, considering that there is not a clear demonstration of the effective benefits of adopting this practice, as ompared to the central control, seldom shared but strongly monitored by integrated information systems. Finally, this research points to the need to renew the concept of the formation and role of the auditors in modern competitive organizations, in the face of information technology and of automation of the instrument controls of the business. Therefore, one may conclude that the trend will be toward an action aiming at the revision of formal internal control matrixes, as they are established in such systems. On the other hand, the majority of audit human resources will be increasingly deployed to the evaluation of risk and control, as related to relevant events of a more abstract nature, as in the case of those connected with the uncontrollable factors of the external environment.

Os impactos da interação dinâmica entre a percepção da realidade e a ação humana na implementação da estratégia organizacional de uma empresa pública: um estudo de caso de cultura organizacional

This study exploits the Organizational Culture theme by a not very conventional way of the Theories of the Organization. Seeking solid bases in the anthropology and in the sociology with Geertz, Bourdieu, Guerreiro Ramos, Hofstede, Peter Berger, among others admirable thinkers, escapes from the common place established in the decade of 70 and mimetically repeated since then, by those who are arranged to study the cultures of the organizations. Instead of understand the culture as a variable of the reality, it treats like a form of access it. Instead of the purpose, it treats like a way. With a powerful instrument of diagnosis based on methods originated from the semiology and from the analysis of discourses, we study the case of a big Brazilian company that faces problems in the implementation of his program of excellence in security, environment and health. From the identification of the Organizational Culture as the element that hindes the full implementation of this program, we develop considerations as to the cultural factors that limit its implementation and that are going to be worked by the individuals that share this culture, in case of wanting effectively its implementation. Dimensions of the national culture as distance of power, legalism, formalism, posture of spectator, among others, are well-defined from the analysis we did and suggestions of how the manager should deal with these characteristics in the everyday life of its activities are presented.

Um caso de aprendizagem organizacional: exame conceitual e de aplicabilidade no contexto público

This research has a practice-oriented focus on the concept of Organizational Learning. The basic approach is a learning organization perspective, and some references to the concepts and concerns of organizational learning were included whenever necessary and proper. Organizational Learning is researched mainly from a management techniques and strategy point of view, with a smaller emphasis on the innovation and accumulation of technological capabilities and theoretical research points of view. A broad approach has been used, based mainly on the study of a successful case using action research in a private telecommunication company operating nationwide in Brazil. This study involved a small group, as it is common with pilot groups for learning organizations. The main purpose of this research is to provide a broad and updated survey about the idea of Organizational Learning. Results presented in the related literature are compared with findings from the field, and that literature is cited throughout the text. The interactions of Organizational Learning with the Brazilian context and with the public administration context are analyzed; important data, ranging from the historical origins and bases of the concept, to details of the activities in a real life learning organization, are shown. Some essential aspects, that should be considered or used when applying this type of management, are analyzed. The action research has shown a close proximity between Organizational Learning and a phenomenological perspective, servant leadership, and managerial model, respectively in the fields of philosophical approach, leadership, and management models.

Inovação e criatividade nas pequenas e médias empresas

The importance of small and medium enterprises for the economy of a country is fundamental because they have several strategic social and economic roles. Besides contributing to the production of national wealth, they also counterbalance the vulnerabilities of large companies providing the necessary economic balance. Socially their contribution is directly related to the lessening of unemployment, functioning also as source of stability in the community, as a means of reducing inequalities in the distribution of income among regions and economic groups, and contributes, decisively, to limit migration to urbans area. The capacity to innovate is now a key component for the survival and development of small organizations. The future today is increasingly less predictable using past parameters and the business world is more turbulent. The objective of this is to point out the need to revise the models which serve as examples for their adoption of competitive alternatives of development and to offer theoretical-practical knowledge to make possible the implementation of the innovative culture in small enterprises. It emphasizes, moreover, that in the present context, flexibility and skills to work in ambiguous situations and to find creative solutions become central concerns of businessmen and managers.
