The impact of different forms of union-firm bargaining on the union-profitability effect is also examined.

A internet como instrumento da democracia: um estudo comparativo entre as memórias virtuais dos parlamentos do Reino Unido e do Brasil

Preserving the organizational memory of public institutions means keeping the history of a society alive, managing communication, strengthening institutional image and thus build a good reputation. Therefore, institutions such as the Brazilian Senate and the United Kingdom Parliament are investing in virtual spaces to preserve the memory. A comparative study between those tools and the ways adopted for the memory preservation by both institutions is the main objective of the present work. The methodology consisted in the elaboration of categories that concern three priorities: democracy, internet and memory.
