Associação Entre Capacidades Gerenciais e Desempenho Mediadas pela Incerteza Ambiental: Um Estudo na Agrox

Negro identity and Afro-Brazilian religiosity valorized and re-signified in the drum, one of their symbols, are analyzed. The analysis of Oliveira Silveira´s poems “Atabaques”, “Cavalo-de-santo” and “O tambor bebeu sangue” brings forth the recovery of Brazilian identity which emerges through the coupling of ancestral voices, culture and myth of African deities. They reveal the Negro as the enunciating subject, free from the fetters of bias and from hegemonic and European-Western concepts, forming at the same time his own concept of subject and religious culture.Current essay deals with Social Assistance as public policy and its division by levels of protection: Basic Social Protection, Special Social Protection with Medium and High Complexity. Discussion problematizes the great number of apparatuses used in High Complexity which frequently are used because of contracts with the town administration to the detriment of public equipment under direct administration. The phenomenon occurs differently in Basic Protection and Special Protection with Medium Complexity, due to the obligation of CRAS and CREAS supply as public and state equipment as required factors for the deployment of the policy.

Mapeamento da produção científica sobre incerteza ambiental em bases internacionais

The purpose of this article is to map the scientific literature on the topic environmental uncertainty in international databases ProQuest and EBSCO providing results on the state of the art of this subject and the characteristics of scientific papers published. The method used was bibliometrics, being investigated 97 items from a universe of 1.194. All of the works comprised the period from 1975 to 2010. The results suggest that: a) during the period examined different social networks of researchers and institutions were formed to study this issue, b) the work of Duncan (1972), although it’s been nearly four decades of its publication, it continues to influence the formulation variables for the measurement of environmental uncertainty, and c) the research on environmental uncertainty has received over the years other terminologies and methodologies. It was observed that the studies were applied in various business segments, always aiming to minimize the environmental turbulence and thereby maximizing organizational results. This research also revealed that the way to measure them cannot be normalized, since each segment is facing a different environment several variables (customers, suppliers, competitors, society, politics, government actions, among others).

Civil Service Competition for Professors at a Federal University: Proposal for Software Improvements

This research proposes an intervention plan for solving difficulties and offering improvements related to the Civil Service testing and selection process for professors at a Brazilian Federal University. The proposals were motivated, mainly, due to a series of occasional misunderstandings found in documentary records, resulting from the interaction between the software used to manage tasks in the selection process and the users of this system, leading to the necessity of producing specific documents to methodize the processes. Although not resulting in harm from a finalistic point of view, these actions increase the time spent and the number of activities before homologation of the results. There was, therefore, an intention to more acutely understand the problems, so the diagnosis focuses on those factors that had a greater impact on the process. The methodology adopted involved bibliographic research, document analysis and a participating observer in the processes. The result was an intervention proposal to act on the software’s current functions, to create new functions and to promote integration of the software into the institutional portfolio, allowing effective action in the correction and prevention of problems and also improvements in the processes.

Utilização de um Sistema de Provas Eletrônicas (SPE) como estratégia de ensino e avaliação de aprendizagem: um estudo de caso em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES)

This study aims to identify the contributions of an Electronic Examination System of (SPE) in the processes of teaching and learning evaluation of Business and Accounting Undergraduate students of a higher education institution. A case study, of exploratory and descriptive nature, with qualitative and quantitative approach was conducted. The main highlighted contributions by teachers in the teaching and evaluation of learning processes are related to the identification of areas of improvement, the reinforcement of content taught during the course, the consolidation of basic concepts, the expansion of general knowledge (multidisciplinary learning), greater quality of education and higher levels of learning. The results show that the students’ performance on the SPE assessments was increasing, which represents a better performance of the whole group analyzed. Similar results were observed in bimonthly evaluations, where the students’ performance was also growing and lowest standard deviation, which indicates less dispersion in the overall performance of the students. The results suggest that the students’ are getting a better learning the content taught in courses, which opens perspectives for a new field of research. It is concluded that the SPE can be an effective strategy of teaching and learning.

The process of formulating strategies and resources intangible company: theoretical reflections on the relationship

Organizations at various points within each operati ng segment, undergo transformations. In an increasingly changing environment and fierce com petitive differentiators are important factors in this context. The aim of this theoretica l p per is to present the evolution of the concepts of business strategy and the Resource Base d View (RBV) or Visão Baseada em Recursos, to devote special attention to intangible s as aid in the development of value to the organization and the market. For this approach a li terature on the topics already mentioned was performed, and an attention to the brand concep t, not dispensing the logical rigor and coherence of arguments. The observations from this work indicate that a large number of organizations concentrate their investments in tang ible assets, however it was found that the intangible asset may be decisive factors in explain ing firms with similar structures present different results. Another relevant observation is that the characteristics of RBV have a conducive environment for the development of approp riate positioning of the organization to the other. We can also conclude that the value crea tion occurs in the organizations investments in intangible assets such as your brand that presents itself as a business opportunity and sustainable competitive advantage. Key-words: Strategic, Intangible Assets, Brand.
