The supply chain management has been marked by many conflicts between internal and external agents of the productive chain. Notwithstanding, a new administrative practice based on collaboration and intensive exchange of information has emerged as a new form of relationship amongst the distinct agents. Based on that, this study aims to understand the existing relationship between the internal and the external firms collaboration, and the systematic flow of information required by the supply chain management. To accomplish this, a two stages multi-method research was conducted. The first stage, exploratory in nature, had the objective to know in details the nuances of collaboration practice amongst the related agents. Five executives from capital goods industry and others related were surveyed by means of in depth interviews, and the collected data was be interpreted by content analysis. Additionally, a survey was conduct with 49 respondents regarding theirs opinions bout the importance of specific attributes of collaboration The second stage, descriptive in nature, had the intent to establish the relationship between collaboration and in use information systems at the companies, as well their impacts on the firm s productive and logistics performance. Similar to the first stage procedures, other 43 respondents from capital goods and related sectors were surveyed by means of a structured form. The data obtained was subjected to descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The results pointed to some meaningful relations between collaboration attitudes, information system s management, and logistic performance. A varied set of aspects of collaboration inter and intra firm were also evidenced, with an interesting preeminence for the compromise attribute in despise of the confidence. The difficulties to obtain a meaningful sample had an impact on a broader generalization of results, which implicates that a relationship between the factors exists, but they do not diminish the contributions for the field s research, considered the limitations and the scarcity of broader generalization s research in Brazil. Suggestions for additional research recommended a new tryout of validation of the model sketched, with more controlled samples. The needs for the inclusion of governance and power in future studies were also mentioned, and a recommendation for a specific study exploring the Compromise attribute of collaboration in Brazilian companies were also included.

Este trabalho trata dos modelos de gestão de resíduos sólidos no Brasil, que tem que lidar com a crescente quantidade de resíduos sólidos, e que se for mantido o modelo tradicional – linear – de gestão destes resíduos, os problemas ambientais e de saúde pública se agravarão. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é propor um núcleo de pesquisa sobre resíduos sólidos promotor de um processo de conscientização da necessidade da economia circular no que diz respeito à gestão desses resíduos. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido a partir de pesquisas bibliográficas, visita à área de projeto, a laboratórios e a uma startup. A principal conclusão é que o modelo linear de gestão de resíduos sólidos ainda é predominante no país, porém, ultimamente vêm crescendo medidas do governo e de empresas que têm voltado suas ações para a economia circular, levando em consideração a importância da sustentabilidade para a humanidade, e que portanto a proposta pode trazer contribuições para esse processo.

This thesis involves the study of the relationship between organizational performance and guidelines for exploration, exploitation and ambidexterity. For the development of this study, two concepts were objects of theoretical considerations and empirical evaluations. The first consists of the types of guidelines used by organizations in the acquisition, organization and management of knowledge, termed as exploration, exploitation and ambidexterity. The second concept refers to organizational performance, this research is based on the Balanced Scorecard - BSC. This study focused on these two concepts can be justified by the importance and influence of the management of organizational knowledge in generating superior performance compared with other companies in the same sector or industry. Besides presenting a theoretical review of the related literature to the issues in question, this study also replicated two scales, a performance measurement proposed by Popadiuk (2006) is divided into four indicators that measure the financial performance indicators that measure 10 customer management, 10 internal management processes and eight that measure learning and growth and other measurement of ambidexterity, exploration and exploitation which consists of 45 indicators, 20 of which classify the company as exploitative and 25 which together rank the company as explotadora. The sample included 249 respondents and the data were processed and validated by means of the technique of Structural Equation Modeling with estimation method Partial Least Squares (PLS) using the SmartPLS 2.0 software. The results were validated empirically. One can also conclude that for this sample the sector of the economy, did not constitute a moderating variable of the relationship between ambidexterity and organizational performance.

O assunto “espiritualidade” e “religiosidade” nas organizações é relativamente novo no Brasil. Até bem pouco tempo não era explorado pelos pesquisadores no mundo acadêmico e muito pouco conhecido pelos executivos e líderes empresariais brasileiros, apesar de ser um tema discutido de forma recorrente pela comunidade empresarial e acadêmica na América do Norte, Europa e Ásia, e amplamente implementado em países como Estados Unidos, Canadá, entre outros, o que já indica ser um tema necessário, importante e relevante para discussão e pesquisa acadêmica, assim como avaliar a possibilidade de implantação em empresas no Brasil. Neste contexto, a pergunta central deste projeto de pesquisa que buscaremos responder é: Como implementar a Capelania Corporativa nas empresas brasileiras? O caminho desenhado para este projeto de pesquisa focou-se em promover o entendimento sobre a importância estratégica de se desenvolver um trabalho de Capelania Corporativa como forma de prestar auxílio espiritual a gestores, funcionários, colaboradores terceirizados e prestadores de serviço no ambiente corporativo, investigar a aceitação e validar um processo efetivo de implantação. Para tanto, foram realizadas uma pesquisa bibliográfica multidisciplinar, um trabalho de campo prático com atendimento através de Capelães voluntários e uma pesquisa online (anamnese) para que se tornasse possível investigar a aceitação, analisar os resultados, refletir e, finalmente, elaborar um plano de negócios e de como implantar um programa de Capelania Corporativa, englobando um serviço de acolhimento, aconselhamento, apoio familiar e demais necessidades relacionadas à saúde integral e bem-estar das pessoas no ambiente de trabalho, dentro da perspectiva da espiritualidade, religiosidade, fé e divindade. Para o trabalho de campo formou-se uma parceria com as empresas GRSA e G4S, que disponibilizaram acesso a uma quantidade significativa de funcionários. As fases de abordagem se deram primeiramente através de contato pelo WhatsApp, onde o serviço de Capelania Corporativa foi apresentado a todos, seguido de contatos individuais, por mensagens de texto, ligações telefônicas e atendimentos por video chamadas. À medida que fomos identificando as pessoas que necessitavam de acolhimento e aconselhamento, passamos à aplicação de uma anamnese com perguntas abertas e fechadas, elaborada por este autor. Por fim, foi apresentado o processo completo necessário para a devida implantação.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a aplicação do seguro no âmbito da administração das sociedades, mediante a análise dos deveres fiduciários e responsabilidade dos administradores, características deste seguro, bem como sua aplicabilidade e afastamento. O seguro de responsabilidade civil de administradores, comumente conhecido como seguro D&O, tem se destacado de maneira significativa no Brasil. Isto porque a ocorrência de inúmeros escândalos e notícias sobre administradores sendo responsabilizados tem chamado a atenção para o tema da responsabilidade inerente ao exercício do cargo de administrador e, por consequência, para a necessidade de proteção destas pessoas físicas que exercem cargos diretivos de gestão. Esta modalidade de seguro tem como objetivo principal a proteção do patrimônio dos administradores das sociedades, garantindo o ressarcimento por eventuais prejuízos causados a terceiros, em decorrência do cargo de gestão que exercem. No entanto, nunca deve ser visto como forma de incentivo aos administradores para atuarem de forma negligente em relação a seus deveres e obrigações, mas como forma de proteção aos administradores diligentes que cumprem com seus deveres, atuam com boa-fé e no melhor interesse da companhia e, mesmo assim, possam ter seu patrimônio lesado por ações impostas por terceiros prejudicados.

During the colonial period, the high society citizens of São Paulo used to live in the rural area and eventually went to the city to participate of the social life. In the XVIIII century, the wealthiest families started to construct their two or three store-houses beside the mamelukes’ huts, but these residences though made in rammed earth (taipa de pilão), had differentiated functional programs and architectural patterns. In the second half of the XIX century, with the profitable coffee culture and the implantation of railways in the city and its surroundings, São Paulo developed quickly with big urban, social and architectural changes. The high society became more urban and was more influenced by the European culture. The coffee bourgeoisie and their masonry mansions of the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries were based in the Eclectic movement with new interior designs and European functional programs. In the second quarter of the XX century, the more modern houses were built based on international architectural pattern, with technological advances. This process brought important transformations in the style and in the program of the residences. In conclusion, this work analyses the changes in the functional programs and architectural patterns of the houses of the high society in São Paulo since the colonial period till projects of modernist mansions prior to the “Brazil Builds” exhibition in MoMA (Museum of Modern Art in New York), in 1943.

This dissertation presents the role of the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN) compared to the country’s economy and explores the theme of economic regulation, analyzing how that institution contributes to the economic development and social well-being, by ensuring stability prices, full employment, disinflation, among other actions. Therefore, it reports, at first, the origin of the economic formation in Brazil and the history of the National Financial System, indicating their relevance to economic development, with the concern that financial institutions become more secure. Then, it study, specifically, the Central Bank, after making a brief outline of the Central Banks of other countries, revealing its origin and highlighting its legitimate role and the tools used for the implementation of monetary and credit policies. The dissertation approaches, also, succinctly, the conflict of powers between the Central Bank and the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE), explaining to which the relevant tasks to each agency in order to resolve the possible existence of impasse between the defense competition and the protection of the safety and soundness of the Financial System. Finally, it focuses effectively on the economic regulation of the country, revealing how the Central Bank, through this mechanism, may contribute to the economic and social development, analyzing the stability of prices, currency stabilization and full employment. With regard in particular to full employment, it is clear, throughout the study, that this principle requires of the State a number of public policies aimed at job creation, so it is necessary that the state entity begins to develop policies and regulate business activity, preventing the abuse of economic power.

In this dissertation we will examine the public-private dichotomy as to demonstrate the necessity of a new conceptual view over these areas of action which have been properly limited by the ascendancy of the bourgeois in modernity. Firstly, based on The Human Condition of Hannah Arendt, we will evaluate the limitations and gaps of the author s male perspective, who rescues the Greek s concept of action and uses it as basis for her political thesis against the failure of the moderns to implement public life; then, based on The Sexual Contract of Carole Pateman, the author s counter-speech to patriarchycapitalism which reveals the existence of the sexual contract under the social contract will be examined. Finally, we will seek to reflect on the antinomies of the modern project, namely the paradigm of modern science and the romantic movement, in order to understand the injunctions relating to private and public life that in modernity correspond to the bourgeois social order. As the distinction between public and private is ideological, on its basis it establishes the hierarchical relationships between the sexes in accordance to a polarized vision and kept by the male order with capitalism.

Dealing effectively with economic crimes is a fundamental need for fair and balanced development of society today, given the collective nature of legal interests protected by them and the special features of economic criminality, consisting of one of the most obvious legal limit on the economic power. The success of combating such crimes within which include crimes against the financial system and crimes against the capital market - depends directly on the adoption of specific legislative techniques of criminal law. Constant innovations in the means of transmission of wealth, associated with the evolution of products and services offered to users of the financial market and the necessity to preserve the constitutional economic order, require that the economy criminal law is endowed with mechanisms that would allow flexibility and adaptation to the economic reality of any given time. Therefore, it is crucial that the expertise and the regulatory powers inherent to normative and supervisor agencies of the National Financial System emanating from within their respective regulatory administrative functions - are also translated to economic criminal law. Among the instruments of criminal regulation that allow this administrative influence, are in the characterization of blank criminal laws, the use of normative elements of the crime and objective conditions for punishment. Despite these legislative techniques cause, as a rule, the creation of open criminal types, it is emphasized that these mechanisms of penal norms do not offend the principle of legality.

The present study aimed to identify which innovations developed by the Agroindustrial Cooperative Lar have contributed to generate competitive advantage in their businesses, from the perspective of the Resource-Based View - RBV. This theme is relevant due to the scarce studies that deal with innovation and agribusiness. To do so, the constructs of innovation, competitive advantage, value creation, resources and strategic capabilities were reviewed. The research method adopted was the qualitative one of exploratory and descriptive character, with the use of a standardized script containing open questions. The content analysis technique was used for the treatment of the data. Five managers related to the food business were interviewed. As a result, it has been identified that effectively strategic innovations are those that have allowed the development of products with a high level of differentiation, sanity and standardization. The resources that supported the innovations were the technical knowledge of the team and application of cutting-edge technology, and together with the ability to analyze the demands were considered strategic for the generation of value to the products offered. The product portfolio has elapsed from market strategies that are predominantly focused on differentiation, ranging from more generic to more focused, with a slightly lower emphasis on costs, seeking to guarantee the superior quality of the products offered.

This dissertation is the result of a research on the relationship between power and knowledge, and among discipline, surveillance by the disciplinarian and vigilant society present in the idea of panoptism peculiar to contemporary society, pointed out by Michel Foucault, and the electronic form called Lattes CV (of CNPq National Council of Technological and Scientific Development) used for registering data concerning the academic output of researchers linked to higher education in Brazil. Based on studies related to Michel Foucault s concepts expounded in his works that deal with this subject, it is an attempt at understanding the main theoretical foundation with a view to establishing the similarities between such concepts and the electronic form, taken as a mechanism for the disciplining and control of academic research in the country. To this end, we make a historical survey of the beginnings of higher education in Brazil in order to explain the characteristics of this process which contributed to the development of control mechanisms such as the Lattes CV, which has become a national reference for the recording of research activities. We try to identify the characteristics of this technological device starting with a historical survey of its beginnings and of its reception on a national level. We also describe which characteristics approximate it to the Foucaultian theories by adopting the term Virtual Panopticon of contemporary society, and how this device affects the behavior of human subjects particularly in the arts area linked to higher education institutions. In order to ascertain such perceptions we resorted to field research, carrying out interviews with CNPq members and, on the other hand, with artists who are researchers from relevant universities, holding academic titles and teaching in undergraduate and graduate courses in the arts area. This investigation allowed us to understand the power relations represented by the device in the academic milieu as well as clarify the configuration of a productivity culture by means of pre-established questions which may, through a control device and serving specific interests, impose a conduct on professors and researchers to answer the demands of the Brazilian university institution scenery

The presence of foreigners follows emerging economies, especially in Brazil where multinational companies grows on account of investments and business strategies. However, the production of knowledge about expatriation is still incipient and this research seeks to contribute to new reflections and discussions on the subject. The theme is broad and explored by several authors in Brazil and abroad for the international academics through various lenses ranging from intercultural issues to anthropological spheres. This research discusses the theory of Cultural Standards by Thomas (2010) with the overall objective of identifying the implications of Cultural Standards perceived by German expatriates to cultural adjustment in the Brazillian context. For this, categories of analysis were used concerning the transcultural adaptation of expatriates, proposed by Black and Stephens (1989). The work consisted of a qualitative research conducted by nine interviews, in which the reports were analysed and categorized. As a result, we identified ten German Cultural Standards about Brazilians involving the lack of fulfilment of promises agreed, the lack of systematic planning, lack of precision of information, informal and personalized relationships, apparent availability, bureaucratic processes, centralization of power and values such as cunning and the Brazilian jeitinho (way). The two main implications of these Cultural Standards found were the lack of trust and the feeling of the Germans of not being welcomed by the Brazilians.

The Reinsurance Industry has proven to be able to reduce economic impact from catastrophic events. The development of this market also contributes to the enhancement of the insurance industry through the launch of new products, cost reduction and knowledge sharing. From historical point of view, from 1939 to 2007, a monopoly was held in the Brazilian reinsurance market, justified mainly by the objective to develop the insurance market. The end of the monopoly was followed by an increase in the number of reinsures which, however, was not reflected in the increase of the market's size, from financial perspective. Based on 2016, the Brazilian reinsurance market represented 3.7% of its insurance industry. This ratio is lower than the one presented by the remaining countries in Latin America combined, Africa, North America, Europe and Oceania. Under this context, this research aimed to study the relation between the demand for reinsurance, intrinsic variables presented by insurers and regulatory changes. Thus, financial and non-financial variables of 37 insurers operating in the Brazilian general insurance market (including pension funds and capitalization) was analyzed. The selected period, from 2003 to 2018, contemplates five years of monopoly and eleven years after the end of it. The research shows that there is a direct and statistically significant relation between the demand for reinsurance and insurers that use the reinsurance as an instrument to manage its claims' volatility. It's also noted, with a lower level of significance, a positive relation of the demand for reinsurance with the level of concentration in corporate products and the end of the monopoly. On the other hand, the research shown a significant negative relation between the volume of claims and the demand for reinsurance, a fact that can be justified by the cost of reinsurance.
