Gestão da demandas em cadeias farmacêuticas brasileiras: um estudo de casos múltiplos

Apesar de ser um dos principais componentes da gestão da cadeia de suprimentos, devido ao seu impacto na melhoria de diversos processos, a gestão da demanda ainda é, na prática, bastante ineficiente, resultando em sérios problemas operacionais em diversas cadeias. Comparando os dados quantitativos de três cadeias farmacêuticas e tendo como base entrevistas realizadas com responsáveis pelas áreas de suprimentos de três grandes laboratórios, a pesquisa investigou e mapeou a configuração da cadeia de suprimentos farmacêutica no Brasil, analisou a amplificação da demanda (“efeito chicote”) e o nível de sincronização entre oferta e demanda ao longo de diversos elos da cadeia. Mesmo sendo reconhecidos, pelos três casos, como fatores relevantes para o alcance das estratégias associadas a suprimentos, conceitos como compartilhamento de informações, cooperação e integração de processos não são implementados, resultando em elevada variabilidade de demanda e distorções entre a oferta e a procura. Além disso, o estudo concluiu também que a política fiscal brasileira e a regulamentação do setor farmacêutico são fortes barreiras que dificultam a implementação de conceitos e processos para a melhoria do desempenho operacional da cadeia farmacêutica, tornando a gestão da demanda uma ferramenta usada apenas para monitoramento de vendas

Auto-eficácia de alunos de administração: um estudo com concluintes do curso de graduação em Administração no Estado do Pará

The current study presents the characteristics of self-efficacy of students of Administration course, who work and do not work. The study was conducted through a field research, descriptive, addressed quantitatively using statistical procedures. Was studied a population composed of 394 students distributed in three Higher Education Institutions, in the metropolitan region of Belém, in the State of Pará. The sampling was not probabilistic by accessibility, with a sample of 254 subjects. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire composed of a set of questions divided into three sections: the first related to sociodemographic data, the second section was built to identify the work situation of the respondent and the third section was built with issues related to General Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale proposed by Schwarzer and Jerusalem (1999). Sociodemographic data were processed using methods of descriptive statistics. This procedure allowed characterizing the subjects of the sample. To identify the work situation, the analysis of frequency and percentage was used, which allowed to classify in percentage, the respondents who worked and those that did not work, and the data related to the scale of self-efficacy were processed quantitatively by the method of multivariate statistics using the software of program Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows - SPSS, version 17 from the process of Exploratory Factor Analysis. This procedure allowed characterizing the students who worked and the students who did not worked. The results were discussed based on Social Cognitive Theory from the construct of self-efficacy of Albert Bandura (1977). The study results showed a young sample, composed the majority of single women with work experience, and indicated that the characteristics of self-efficacy of students who work and students who do not work are different. The self-efficacy beliefs of students who do not work are based on psychological expectations, whereas the students who work demonstrated that their efficacy beliefs are sustained by previous experiences. A student who does not work proved to be reliant in their abilities to achieve a successful performance in their activities, believing it to be easy to achieve your goals and to face difficult situations at work, simply by invest a necessary effort and trust in their abilities. One who has experience working proved to be reliant in their abilities to conduct courses of action, although know that it is not easy to achieve your goals, and in unexpected situations showed its ability to solve difficult problems
