Cooperação tecnológica em empresas mineiras de biotecnologia

Esse artigo analisa o processo de formação e desenvolvimento dos relacionamentos interorganizacionais cooperativos, que visam a pesquisa e o desenvolvimento de produtos em empresas de base biotecnológica. Partindo do referencial teórico sobre alianças estratégicas e do contexto da biotecnologia, são analisadas as atividades de cooperação de duas empresas mineiras. Os resultados obtidos evidenciam que a incapacidade de realização de determinadas atividades é o principal motivo que leva as empresas a buscarem uma aliança com outras organizações. O contrato e a confiança desenvolvidos entre os parceiros são apontados como os principais mecanismos de controle existentes nas relações. No caso das empresas analisadas, os problemas surgidos no decorrer das interações têm sido resolvidos por negociação e diálogo, em detrimento das medidas legais. Dada a importância do desenvolvimento tecnológico para as empresas em questão, a cooperação tem sido apontada como um diferencial estratégico dessas organizações.

A confiança interorganizacional nas compras

This research is part of the field of organizational studies, focusing on organizational purchase behavior and, specifically, trust interorganizational at the purchases. This topic is current and relevant by addressing the development of good relations between buyer-supplier that increases the exchange of information, increases the length of relationship, reduces the hierarchical controls and improves performance. Furthermore, although there is a vast literature on trust, the scientific work that deal specifically at the trust interorganizational still need further research to synthesize and validate the variables that generate this phenomenon. In this sense, this investigation is to explain the antecedents of trust interorganizational by the relationship between the variable operational performance, organizational characteristics, shared values and interpersonal relationships on purchases by manufacturing industries, in order to develop a robust literature, most consensual, that includes the current sociological and economic, considering the effect of interpersonal relationships in this phenomenon. This proposal is configured in a new vision of the antecedents of interorganizational trust, described as significant quantitative from models Morgan and Hunt (1994), Doney and Cannon (1997), Zhao and Cavusgil (2006) and Nyaga, Whipple, Lynch (2011), as well as qualitative analysis of Tacconi et al. (2011). With regard to methodological aspects, the study assumes the form of a descriptive, survey type, and causal trace theoretical and empirical. As for his nature, the investigation, explicative character, has developed a quantitative approach with the use of exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling SEM, with the use of IBM software SPSS Amos 18.0, using the method of maximum verisimilitude, and supported by technical bootstraping. The unit of analysis was the buyer-supplier relationship, in which the object under investigation was the supplier organization in view of the purchasing company. 237 valid questionnaires were collected among key informants, using a simple random sampling developed in manufacturing industries (SIC 10-33), located in the city of Natal and in the region of Natal. The first results of descriptive analysis demonstrate the phenomenon of interorganizational trust, in which purchasing firms believe, feel secure about the supplier. This demonstration showed high levels of intensity, predominantly among the vendors that supply the company with materials that are used directly in the production process. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, performed on each variable alone, generated a set of observable and unobservable variables more consistent, giving rise to a model, that needed to be further specified. This again specify model consists of trajectories was positive, with a good fit, with a composite reliability and variance extracted satisfactory, and demonstrates convergent and discriminant validity, in which the factor loadings are significant and strong explanatory power. Given the findings that reinforce the model again specify data, suggesting a high probability that this model may be more suited for the study population, the results support the explanation that interorganizational trust depends on purchases directly from interpersonal relationships, sharing value and operating performance and indirectly of personal relationships, social networks, organizational characteristics, physical and relational aspect of performance. It is concluded that this trust can be explained by a set of interactions between these three determinants, where the focus is on interpersonal relationships, with the largest path coefficient for the factor under study

Antecedentes do relacionamento e da performance em empresas da cadeia de suprimentos: estruturação e aplicação de modelos de equações estruturais

The relationship between companies is an important issue in the management of supply chains. Several aspects relating to the flow and exchange of information along the chain are considered as having a decisive influence on the success of this relationship. The main objective of this work was to structured and test models that link aspects of this nature with performance and the purchaser-supplier relationship in the supply chain. Aspects relevant to communication and the use do IT in relationships between companies were investigated. The importance of performance in this relationship was also investigated. The research were based on empirical data obtained by means of structural equation modeling. The results show that some aspects contribute in a significant way to the success of this relationship while others that, a priori, are considered important make no contribution.

Brasil-Estados Unidos: desafios de um relacionamento assimétrico

O artigo analisa alguns dos desafios com que o Brasil se depara no relacionamento com os Estados Unidos desde o final da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Durante a Guerra Fria, o Brasil tendeu a se alinhar ideologicamente aos Estados Unidos enquanto buscava o desenvolvimento. Com o fim da Guerra Fria percebe-se a adoção de uma política desnacionalizante e de defesa de interesses tópicos nas divergências com os Estados Unidos. No século XXI, o desafio será a integração econômica. Nesse contexto, a ALCA, caso se concretize, trará a necessidade de administrar uma divergência estratégica entre os dois países.

Marketing de relacionamento como fator-chave de sucesso no mercado de seguros

O presente trabalho visa a explorar as oportunidades da prática do Marketing de Relacionamento no mercado de seguros. O mercado segurador foi escolhido como objeto da pesquisa por estar enfrentando grandes desafios a fim de buscar alternativas para suas práticas tradicionais de atuação no mercado. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa exploratória cujo objetivo foi verificar se a oferta de serviços diferenciados pelas empresas líderes que atuam no mercado segurador brasileiro tem correspondido a uma oferta contínua de valor para o cliente, pressuposta em contexto da prática do Marketing de Relacionamento. Analisando-se os dados da pesquisa, percebeu-se que, apesar de ter sido verificada uma tendência de as empresas estarem oferecendo os serviços que os clientes valorizam, não se verificou produtividade dos relacionamentos. Relacionamentos produtivos poderiam resultar em um impacto ainda maior no faturamento das empresas, uma vez consideradas outras variáveis relevantes no mix mercadológico. Foram apresentadas sugestões para a prática do Marketing de Relacionamento que muito poderão auxiliar o setor em sua busca de produtividade e qualidade dos serviços prestados aos seus clientes.

A recuperação de serviços como ferramenta de relacionamento e seu impacto na confiança e lealdade dos clientes

O objetivo central deste trabalho é examinar a recuperação de serviços sob uma perspectiva estratégica, como ferramenta de relacionamento. Para tanto, foi proposto e testado um modelo teórico, com foco nos inter-relacionamentos entre avaliações específicas do processo de reclamação, confiança, custo de mudança, valor e lealdade do consumidor. Os resultados indicam que a formação de confiança e lealdade do consumidor é afetada pela forma como as reclamações são resolvidas. As percepções de justiça afetaram a satisfação com o gerenciamento da reclamação. A confiança do consumidor foi fortemente influenciada pela satisfação pós-reclamação. Por fim, tanto a intenção de recompra como a comunicação boca-a-boca foram influenciadas por confiança, satisfação e valor percebido. Os custos de mudança não moderaram as relações entre satisfação, confiança e lealdade, e demonstraram ter baixa infl uência nas intenções de recompra, indicando que a criação de mecanismos que dificultem a saída do cliente não é suficiente para mantê-lo, e que e um gerenciamento adequado da reclamação pode ser uma ferramenta eficaz para desenvolver relacionamentos de longo prazo.

Estrutura de relacionamento entre instituições de pesquisa do campo de Ciência e Tecnologia no Brasil

Neste estudo, mapeamos a estrutura de relacionamento entre instituições de pesquisa no campo de Ciência e Tecnologia no Brasil, analisando 688 artigos publicados no Enanpad e no Simpósio de Gestão da Inovação Tecnológica, entre 2000 e 2005. Com base em co-autoria, verificamos que o campo se configura como uma grande rede em que mais da metade das instituições está conectada, criando capital social. Ainda, algumas destacam-se por apresentar grande número de colaboradores, por serem pontes entre diferentes grupos e por manterem a durabilidade das relações, havendo indícios de homofilia, cujas localização geográfica e papel institucional condicionam as relações entre pares. Por fim, existe influência da cooperação na produtividade das instituições.
