Indústria de defesa: uma análise da rede nacional a partir da teoria da dependência de recursos

A pesquisa tem como objetivo apresentar o estágio atual da rede produtiva de materiais e serviços de defesa. Inicialmente, é elaborada uma sucinta contextualização histórica que situa o leitor em relação ao problema de pesquisa. O sistema produtivo é analisado segundo três abordagens complementares. Primeiro, são identificados os recursos mais importantes aos componentes do sistema, destacando-se, principalmente, a dependência resultante. Posteriormente, por meio de uma análise de redes sociais, são explorados os elementos estruturais dos relacionamentos. Finalmente, os EUA são empregados como um referencial para fins de comparação e diagnóstico. Por conseguinte, visando atender aos diferentes requisitos da pesquisa, foram consultadas organizações envolvidas na atividade, entrevistadas pessoas com conhecimentos específicos do setor e realizada uma abrangente consulta bibliográfica e documental. Portanto, o relatório identifica os fatores que mais impactam a indústria de defesa nacional, um segmento produtivo ainda pouco explorado pela Academia.

As relações da tríplice hélice no setor da carcinicultura do Rio Grande do Norte: uma análise a partir das abordagens da imersão social e da dependência de recursos

This work consists in a study of the Shrimp Industry in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, whose central issue relates to the understanding of how the Triple Helix (University, Government and the productive sector) interrelationship limits or expands the industry s innovation process. The study aims to understand how the Triple Helix relationship interferes in the innovation process of shrimp in Rio Grande do Norte. As the knowledge becomes the resource key for production methods, the generation of new technologies, new products and processes which demands joint and integrated action of the institutions comprising the Triple Helix: University, Government and productive sector, which possess the essential resources to innovate the process and can be maximized from cooperative relationships between the referred Institutions. Thus, in this work, it was sharply used the pioneering studies of Sabato and Botana (1968) regarding the cooperation relationship between the scientific-technological sphere, the governmental and the productive base, and studies on the Triple Helix approach, proposed by Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff (2000), in which the university has a key role in the process of technological and innovative development of countries and regions, and under which it is assigned to the very University - the character of the entrepreneurial institution, through the concept of entrepreneurial University. Aiming to overcome the criticism of Cooke (2005), regarding the limitations of the Triple Helix approach, in this study it was used - as analytical perspectives - the perspective of social immersion (Granovetter, 1985, 2005) and the theory of resources dependence (PFEFFER; SALANCIK, 1978). The analytical perspectives presented in here, despite of the different assumptions, are essential to eliminate the bias that one only approach can lead (ASTLEY; VAN DE VEM; 2007). The authors arguments focus on the fact that the integration is possible if the researcher acknowledged that different perspectives may have different descriptions of the same phenomenon. As a research strategy, this study is characterized as a study case, along with the proposed objectives - the qualitative method was used as an approach and, depending on the gathering of the sector s historical, a sectional longitudinal view approach was applied (VIEIRA, 2004). The primary and secondary data were used in order to understand the sector s evolutionary process and its inter-institutional relations - regarding the shrimp culture in Rio Grande do Norte - to promote the development, as the content was used for the technical analysis (BARDIN, 1977). The approach of social immersion and resources addiction dependence made it possible to understand that relationships are established within and between each sphere (university, government and productive sector) characterizing a network of low density relationships and strongly internal and external dependence. Based on the speech of Etzkowitz and Mello (2006), a successful Triple Helix strategy of innovation requires not only the involvement and commitment of the parts, within the institutional sphere and among them, but also the development of mechanisms to coordinate the multiple and complex interactions and interfaces, focusing on promoting both environment and context for innovation and learning; it can be acknowledge from study results that the shrimp in the State of the RN, although there are several institutional mechanisms to promote greater integration and technological development, has been presented disjointed - both internally and between the spheres - and under no legitimate practice when facing the innovational promotion and integration institutions. Due to those factors, the central institutions of the network are crucial to the promotion of innovations, spreading through their direct contacts the importance factor of the sustainable competitive activity in the world market and on the national level. However, it may be concluded, from the data, that the Triple Helix relations are interfering in a negative way on what concerns the promotion of innovations in the shrimp industry in RN

Teoria da dependência revisitada - um balanço crítico

A Teoria da Dependência surge nos anos 60 para repensar o modelo cepalino e oferecer uma alternativa de interpretação da dinâmica social da América Latina. Portadora de um método analítico mais sofisticado, ela suplantou com facilidade o estagnacionismo, que havia sido abraçado pelos remanescentes do nacional-desenvolvimentismo, e transformou-se na crítica mais consistente ao desenvolvimento autoritário. Esse estudo pretende reconstituir a crítica da dependência ao modelo econômico brasileiro de 1964 e 1984 e explicar sua dificuldade em elaborar um projeto alternativo para a sociedade brasileira. A Teoria da Dependência era apenas um método analítico ou continha um projeto de desenvolvimento alternativo ao modelo autoritário? Neste trabalho, os principais autores da teoria da dependência fazem hoje uma revisão crítica de suas idéias, de suas avaliações da gestão econômica do período militar e de suas propostas.

A influência do ambiente institucional na formação de joint ventures internacionais : um estudo de caso na Puig-Memphis

Este trabalho consiste em um estudo sobre a formação da joint venture Puig-Memphis, tendo como questão central investigar como o ambiente institucional e as relações de poder influenciam a formação de joint ventures internacionais entre empresas de países em diferentes estágios de desenvolvimento. O objetivo do trabalho é verificar a forma como as diferentes dimensões do ambiente moldam a decisão de entrar, ou não, em uma parceria, a decisão sobre o parceiro, a decisão sobre a estrutura da parceria e a influência na dinâmica de evolução da parceria. Objetiva, também, verificar como as relações de poder e o estágio de desenvolvimento dos países de origem das empresas-mãe influenciam nessas quatro fases. Para analisar o caso, foi desenvolvido um modelo teórico integrando três abordagens, as quais, no conjunto, permitiram uma melhor compreensão da natureza multifacetada desse fenômeno organizacional. As teorias que compõem o modelo são: a teoria institucional (aspectos sócio-culturais); a teoria dos custos de transação (aspectos econômicos e estratégicos) e a teoria da dependência de recursos (aspectos políticos). O método de pesquisa é eminentemente qualitativo, tipo estudo de caso, adotando a técnica de triangulação de dados (entrevista, questionário, pesquisa documental e observação direta). Concluiu-se que o ambiente institucional influenciou todas as etapas do processo de formação da joint venture Puig-Memphis por meio de uma interação entre fatores econômicos, políticos, sociais e culturais. Observou-se que as dimensões econômicas eram visualizadas claramente pelos dirigentes, enquanto que as dimensões políticas e sócio-culturais nem sempre eram compreendidas objetivamente. Observou-se, também, que as empresas-mãe deixaram de potencializar parte da sinergia estratégica em função de uma visão parcial do fenômeno em estudo.

Análise de terceirizações em serviços de apoio diagnóstico e terapêutico em hospitais privados : aplicação de modelos de decisão "Make or Buy" em hospitais

O objetivo do trabalho foi verificar a aplicação de modelos de decisão ¿make or buy¿ nas decisões de terceirização em hospitais privados. Foi realizado um levantamento dos modelos mais representativos, na literatura de administração em geral e do setor de saúde, para a decisão. Realizou-se estudo de casos múltiplos em quatro hospitais privados de grande porte do município de São Paulo, nas áreas terceirizadas de laboratório de análises clínicas, serviços de diagnóstico por imagem e de hemoterapia (bancos de sangue e agências transfusionais). Procedeu-se entrevistas semi-estruturadas para obter a percepção de executivos e proprietários das organizações (hospitais e empresas) quanto às variáveis independentes e dependentes de cada um dos modelos escolhidos. A análise utilizou a técnica de adequação ao padrão. A combinação de Perspectiva de Competências Centrais, Teoria dos Custos de Transação e Teoria da Agência mostrou ter maior poder descritivo sobre os achados das estruturas inter-firmas adotadas. Teoria de Dependência de Recursos e Dinâmica Setorial tem menor aplicação nos serviços pesquisados. A Teoria de Rede descreve vários aspectos encontrados em todos os casos. A pesquisa pode contribuir para a modelagem das decisões de terceirização no setor.

O comitê operacional como mecanismo de governança dos consórcios para exploração e produção do pré-sal

Este trabalho objetiva analisar aspectos jurídicos relacionados ao consórcio e ao Comitê Operacional que deverão ser constituídos no âmbito do novo modelo regulatório criado para a exploração e produção das reservas do pré-sal – o contrato de partilha de produção. Para esse fim, será feita uma análise do histórico do setor de petróleo e gás no Brasil, com o objetivo de contextualizar o novo modelo. Em seguida, serão analisados os principais aspectos presentes na doutrina e na legislação societária a respeito do consórcio, enfatizando-se as peculiaridades previstas na legislação do pré-sal. Passa-se, então, à análise de problemas relacionados à tomada de decisão no consórcio exigido pela lei do pré-sal e, consequentemente, no Comitê Operacional que o administrará. Para isso, serão examinados: (i) a teoria dos contratos incompletos; (ii) o modelo do principal-agente; (iii) os problemas de governança em uma sociedade de economia mista; e (iv) a teoria da dependência de recursos. Tendo por base o estudo realizado, a última parte buscará mostrar a necessidade de implementação de mecanismos de governança na execução dos contratos de partilha de produção, de modo a beneficiar todos os envolvidos.

A participação do conselheiro independente nas companhias listadas no novo mercado da BM&FBovespa em 2012

O tema do presente trabalho é a governança corporativa, especificamente sobre a atuação dos conselheiros independentes das companhias do Novo Mercado da BM&FBovespa por meio de um estudo qualitativo para verificar a forma e a dinâmica da participação dos membros independentes no processo de tomada de decisão das companhias onde atuam. O objetivo é contribuir para o campo de finanças e governança corporativa de modo a explicar resultados de diversos estudos quantitativos que apontam não haver uma correlação significativa entre a proporção de conselheiros independentes e o desempenho financeiro das companhias. O questionário distribuído por e-mail foi respondido por 30 dos 361 conselheiros independentes e possibilitou a constatação de que a atuação dos conselheiros independentes avaliados está atualmente mais voltada para o papel consultivo do que propriamente de fiscalização, demonstrando uma dinâmica de alinhamento e não de conflito no processo decisório do conselho de administração. Além disso, o estudo constatou que os conselheiros independentes disponibilizam pouco tempo no exercício das suas funções, situação que pode constituir fator indicativo para a falta de correlação entre proporção de conselheiros independentes e o desempenho financeiro das companhias, conforme apontada por diversos estudos quantitativos. Dessa forma, o estudo sugere que, no ambiente brasileiro de elevada concentração de ações nas mãos de poucos acionistas, os órgãos reguladores estejam mais atentos à sua função fiscalizadora uma vez que os conselheiros independentes não assumem esse papel.

Estratégias internacionais da fruticultura do RN: o caso finobrasa processo e evolução

The present inquiry has as main objective to understand the process of formation of the international strategies of the exporting companies of fruits of the RN through the theory of the resource dependence. Aiming at to clarify as the companies they can carry through the process of internationalization through this theory had been study the behavior and economic theories of the process of internationalization of companies. Amongst the economic theories they are distinguished the eclectic paradigm of Dunning (1958), Vernon (1669) through the theory of the cycle of the product and Bucley and Casson (1979) with the theory of the international operations. In the mannering boarding they had been investigated the school of Upsala through Johanson and Valnhe (1977) with the concept of the increasing of the markets and in the distance psychic starts and the interaction of the purchaser-salesman of Hallen and Wiedersheim-Paul (1979). In this perspective it observes main the occured changes in the organization in function of this process, following the rules observed by the gradual ingression in the international market, having as base ways of entrances in the external market used by these companies, in view of the frist phase that the company presents of businesses. Ahead of you analyze of these theories the study searches to analyze the convergence of the concepts proclaimed for the theory of the dependence of resources (PFEFFER; SALANCIK, 1978). and strategies of internationalization of the companies. The research is characterized as qualitative case study which adopts and exploratory and analytical type, retrospective matrix. The adopted strategy is of case study and the unit of analysis consisting of the Finobrasa, pertaining company to the Vicunha Group. The main method of collection of data was halfstructuralized interview allied the documentary research that together had presented an empirical perspective of the internationalization process. The analysis and quarrel of the results understand the description and the interpretation of the one of the information through the technique of analyzes of content. Initially the historical of the exportation of fruits of the Rio Grande do Norte with the focus in the region Açu/Mossoró is presented and after that the information of the Finobrasa are presented as base of the study. The main events are identified that had constituted the phases of the strategical model of the company. It was observed that the dimensions most excellent amongst those proclaimed by the School of Uppsala had been the learning, staffs and the step-starts is sufficiently gifts in the reality of the company, as well as the aspects of strategical alliances since the consolidated relationship of the Vicunha Group create a more solid trajectory in the international market allied the conditions created windows of marked . One understands, therefore, that the investigated process still has base the theoretical theories of the internationalization strategies corroborating for the theoretical convergence of the rules proclaimed for the theory of the dependence of resources.
