O mercado de trabalho no futuro: uma discussão sobre profissões inovadoras, empreendedorismo e tendências para 2020

As inovacoes tecnologicas, organizacionais e de mercado tem impulsionado profundas transformacoes no mundo do trabalho. Diversas profissoes com conteudos inovadores tem sido criadas, tendo em vista acompanhar o ritmo das mudancas. Transformacoes estruturais nas relacoes de trabalho tambem tem sido observadas. Como consequencia dessas transformacoes, o empreendedorismo tem sido a alternativa para a geracao de emprego e renda. Nesse contexto, esta pesquisa procurou identificar quais serao as profissoes mais provaveis de se desenvolver no futuro e onde estarao as oportunidades de negocios para empreendedores, considerando o ano de 2020. Para tanto, foi utilizada a Tecnica Delphi, a qual possibilita a identificacao de tendencias e eventos futuros a partir do uso estruturado do conhecimento de especialistas. Foram realizadas duas rodadas de consulta, com 96 respondentes na Rodada 1 e 112 respondentes na Rodada 2. Os resultados finais apontaram que a enfase crescente na inovacao, a busca por qualidade de vida, o envelhecimento da populacao e a preocupacao com o meio ambiente serao importantes impulsionadores das carreiras mais promissoras nos proximos anos. E vislumbrado um futuro no qual sera possivel interagir com profissionais como Gerentes de Eco-Relacoes, Chief Innovation Officers e “Bioinformacionistas”. Quanto ao empreendedorismo, os especialistas projetaram uma participacao no mercado de trabalho de 17% em termos de Populacao Economicamente Ativa. Pelos resultados, e possivel apreender que ha expectativa de aumento da participacao das atividades empreendedoras no mundo do trabalho no futuro, as quais conviverao com as profissoes com conteudos inovadores identificadas no estudo.

Evaluation of the Determinants of Technological and Managerial Results of Cooperability in Brazilian Multinationals

The objective of this article was to evaluate the technological and managerial elements that determine the results of the cooperability in Brazilian multinationals (BMN).We conducted a survey among the universe of BMN and the data analysis was supported by Cronbachs Alpha testing, factorial analysis, correlation analysis, principal component analysis and multiple regression analysis. As a conclusion of the study on the elements of the technological trajectory, we found that the greater the experience in R&D in the headquarters, the more effective will be the technological results of cooperability and the greater the accumulated experience in R&D in foreign subsidiaries and international cooperation the more effective will be the managerial results of cooperability. We also found that the greater the degree of relevance of strategies for technological capacity building the more effective will be the results of cooperability, both technological and managerial. The aggregated analysis of technological inputs showed that the higher the investments in R&D and the number of internal and cooperative projects the more effective will be the technological results. However, as the company expands its project portfolio, grow the difficulties regarding alignment and management of the BMN, which may adversely affect the managerial results of cooperability.

The decision-making process of internal or external development of R&D: a multiple-case study on Brazilian multinationals

The currently theoretical discussions about innovation and internationalization show that the conduct of research and development (R&D) internally or externally is an unquestionable source of competitive advantage for multinationals. If properly articulated, they can leverage the technological advancement of national innovation of the countries seeking to develop as Brazil. One of the initial challenges towards this proposal is to assess situations in which they configure themselves strategically more favorable for multinationals to innovate openly and cooperatively or innovate individually and closely. The key challenge is, therefore, to seek strategic decisions quality to develop internally or externally R&D. Considering the relevance of these discussions, the objective is to analyze how the decision-making process of developing internally or externally R&D occurs in Brazilian multinational. To achieve this goal a descriptive qualitative research was realized and the study of multiple-case methods was adopted, focusing on the Brazilian multinationals Smar, Tigris and WEG. The conclusions of this work show that the decision process of developing internally or externally R&D involves, basically, the stages of recognition and diagnosis of the situation, survey and evaluation of quantitative and qualitative information, definition of alternative development, and selection of the best alternative. The decision process can occur dynamically during the course of everyday activities R&D, in the period of pre-development projects of R&D (emergence of the idea) or in the stage of technological planning. Another relevant aspect refers to the strong influence of technology strategies deliberated on the decision to develop internally or externally R&D, and casual the influence of emerging technology strategies. Key words: Brazilian multinationals, R&D, decision-making process.
