Os impactos dos investimentos estrangeiros diretos na evolução da balança comercial brasileira no período pós-real

The purpose of the present study is to discuss the eventual relationship between foreign direct investment in Brazil and trade balance, considering the period after the beginning of "Plano Real" on 1994, which presented a new currency regime and a new profile of Brazilian macroeconomy. It is important to state that there is a controversial debate around the question, since those investments are seen as positive to receiving countries by some authors and negative by other ones. Those who are favorable, argue that the recent attitude assumed by a lot of companies towards internalization is changing the modus operandi in some markets, providing a much more competitive framework. It is also remarkable - they also mention - the potential advantages brought by these new strategies. On the other hand, some authors defend that it increases the exposure of the country that receives such resources, since the subsidiaries of those companies operate under marketing strategies of profit maximization, considered the competitive environment they face. We will go over these opinions troughout the study, trying also to capture the reasons that usually motivate foreign companies to look for new markets and branches and also the effects on receiving country's Balance of Payments. Besides that point, the approach presented will try to answer if the increase of foreign capital stock in Brazil helps to explain some positive response from the country's trade balance, and more, on Balance of Payments. It is also important to mention that the considered period is extremely representative, mainly when considered the huge amounts involved and the increasing liberalization verified in brazilian's external policies since 1990. There is special concern, troughout the study, to define the pattern of such investments, and more, the impacts that those resources brought to public budget. The present study will focus on official data, published by Central Bank of Brazil, mainly those ones regarding Census of Foreign Capitals, as well as the referable to the evolution of Balance of Payments. Finally, based on statistical procedures, it will be provided multiple regressions on available data that will help the reader to capture the effects of some selected variables, which will bring a much more oriented analysis to the discussion.

Análise do processo de implantação do balanced scorecard: o caso do painel corporativo de uma empresa brasileira do setor público

Um assunto cada vez mais recorrente na literatura sobre administração é a questão dos modismos de gestão. Nos anos 90 se observou a euforia em torno da gestão pela qualidade total (TQM) e a explosão da reengenharia de processos, que veio junto com a terceirização. Em seguida emergiu o conceito de core-competencies ou competências essências que deu origem à revolução da gestão baseada em competências. Surgido nos anos 90, a partir de pesquisas acadêmicas, o Balanced Scorecard (BSC) aparece como uma nova tecnologia de gestão que rapidamente foi difundida e passou a ser utilizada por uma extensa gama de organizações. A recente utilização dessa tecnologia de gestão e o excesso de euforia sobre o tema trazem a tona o questionamento sobre a correta utilização da mesma. Sendo assim, essa pesquisa se dedica a fazer uma análise sobre a utilização do BSC em uma empresa brasileira do setor público frente à metodologia proposta pela literatura. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstraram que os motivos que levaram a empresa em questão a escolher o BSC como tecnologia de gestão e a construção do BSC foram coerentes com a metodologia proposta pela literatura. Por fim a pesquisa também revelou dois resultados inesperados: primeiro um possível fator de sucesso na utilização do BSC não encontrado na literatura; e segundo uma certa peculiaridade quanto a adoção dessa tecnologia de gestão em empresas do setor público.

The proposal of this study is to present an assessment of the performance of the Brazilian Government Chamber of Foreign Trade (Camex), which is a board of the Council of Government responsible for the formulation, implementation and coordination of the Brazilian trade policy. The study begins with a historical approach to the international trade and the Brazilian foreign trade, mentioning its origins, features and interfaces with the economic development of the country. Based on the approach aforementioned, several interviews were made with authorities, who have remarkable knowledge about the subject, in order to obtain their views, experiences and suggestions concerning the performance of Camex since its creation in 1995. The list of interviewees includes authorities that are currently responsibles for the conduct of the policy on foreign trade, representatives of the organized society, and authorities who were in important positions in this segment of the federal public administration, regarding both the Minister of State, as Director of Cacex and the Executive Secretary of Camex. The conclusions of the study indicate that the Camex has not been succeeding in fully exercise its mandate of formulate, implement and coordinate the foreign trade policy of Brazil. A combination of factors contributes to this situation, especially its small strutcure, the fact that some ministries compete in the segment of foreign trade ¿don't understand¿ Chamber¿s real purpose, and, at last, the absence of a political mandate"(words taken from Motta Veiga) that would fortify its existing legal mandate. Finally, the study suggests some changes in the current organizational modeling of Camex, especially in its hierarchical position in the federal public administration."
