O mercado fonográfico no Brasil: alterações nas relações de poder a partir do desenvolvimento tecnológico e da pirataria virtual

The phonographic market has experienced a period of significant change caused by technological evolution. This phenomenon of global proportions has been the subject of considerable debate in the media and in academia. The entry of new actors, as well as piracy and new forms of commercialization of musical products, has significantly altered the relationships of power existing in this field. Therefore, the scope of this article is to analyze the phonographic industry in Brazil as an arena of forces and power struggles, based on notions of the field of cultural production, from the perspective of Bourdieu. This study constitutes a qualitative research and data was analyzed using a descriptiveinterpretative approach. In the case of the sector under scrutiny, and on the basis of the theoretical reference material, it would appear to be correct to affirm that economic capital is what is being sought on the part of the actors who comprise the field. Nevertheless, it is important to stress that the critical incidents that brought about the changes in the structure of the field over the course of time were predominantly of a technological nature. The field of the Brazilian phonographic market is currently experiencing a period of structural alteration that was especially affected by the development of MP3 technology and the emergence of virtual piracy. The fact is that formerly the major recording companies dominated the market and had the necessary resources of power to exercise their role as dominant actors and maintain this position. However, the aforementioned factors favored the entry of new actors in the field and the empowerment of those that prior to this time did not have the resources to compete against this domination.

A gestão estratégica e o enfrentamento da ilegalidade: um estudo de caso do combate à pirataria nas empresas farmacêuticas multinacionais no Brasil

As empresas multinacionais que investem em países emergentes onde as instituições responsáveis (Governo e Sociedade) que não conseguem reprimir a pirataria sofrem com a perda de mercado e se vêem compelidas a desenvolver novas estratégias para gerar valor e aumentar a sua performance. As empresas multinacionais fabricantes de medicamentos de disfunção erétil utilizam estratégias globais para se defender da pirataria. Localmente essas empresas desenvolvem estratégias de não-mercado que não são integradas com as estratégias de mercado e as estratégias de não-mercado - transacionais ou relacionais - são elaboradas para dar suporte às estratégias globais.
