A economia solidária no centro das discussões: um trabalho bibliométrico de estudos brasileiros

The aim of this work is to identify and evaluate publications on the topic economy of solidarity. Thus, we seek to understand the status of the issue through a process of organization, classification and analysis of a set of bibliometric data and information. Research on economy of solidarity was established based on publications in journals of Scielo and Spell. We found 93 articles published on the topic in 13 years of analysis (2001-2013). With the recommendations contained in these agendas, we analyzed the progress made by research showing the evolution of publications with the increase or decrease of their quantity each year, the main authors and the networks of relationships between them. The analysis criteria used were the titles and abstracts of all the published articles. Articles that were evaluated showed that the publications are coming from different groups of research on the topic; however, there is a need for periodicals on economy of solidarity.The aim of this work is to identify and evaluate publications on the topic economy of solidarity.

CONTRIBUIÇÕES PARA A GESTÃO DE REDES INTERORGANIZACIONAIS: FATORES DETERMINANTES PARA A SAÍDA DE EMPRESAS PARCEIRAS

The cooperation networks among organizations are strategies used by the managers to act in the Market to gather more value to companies and obtain competitive advantage. However, empirically is possible to verify that there is a significant number of companies leaving the networks in which they were inserted. Thus, this study aims to identify the determinant factors which lead to companies leaving the interorganizational networks they used to take part in. Therefore, a quantitative study was conducted with 140 companies belonging to cooperation networks in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. To data collection a questionnaire was used, it was structured in 15 different dimensions, each one composed of 5 questions. The data was tabulated in na Excel spreadsheet and then analyzed through the software AMOS 18. The results have confirmed as determinant factors to companies exit the networks the Previous Weak Social Ties, Bad Partners Selection, Individualized Management, Lack of Confidence and Commitment, Low Interorganizational Learning, among others. The determinant factors evaluated in this research emphasize the difficulty found about the governance structures and management in networks. The challenge is to organize the network in a way to avoid possible disorders coming from the managing decisions and reduce the problems identified in this study, in order to maintain the companies in the network, creating return and competitive advantages to those.

Os fluxos de comunicação do Corpo de Bombeiros: estudo de caso no interior do Rio Grande do Sul

Este estudo constitui uma analise da percepcao dos colaboradores em relacao aos fluxos de comunicacao interna numa organizacao publica, em que procurou-se verificar os pontos positivos e negativos na comunicacao em instituicoes publicas, principalmente o caso do Corpo de Bombeiros. A pesquisa do tipo exploratorio-descritiva foi desenvolvida no Corpo de Bombeiros de Santa Maria, interior do Rio Grande do Sul. Na coleta de dados, foram realizadas sete entrevistas com servidores da unidade, e foram examinadas por meio da analise de conteudo. A partir da analise e interpretacao dos dados, verificou-se que a organizacao nao utiliza qualquer instrumento de avaliacao ou controle da comunicacao interna.Os fluxos de comunicacao sao deficientes a ponto de o servidor ser amparado apenas nos seus documentos formais e na burocracia, portanto nao faz da comunicacao uma ferramenta de gestao e nao tem um fluxo continuo e adequado. As falhas na comunicacao incidem no retrabalho, no desperdicio de recursos publicos, bem como no aumento do tempo para prestacao dos servicos.

Para consecucao do objetivo proposto foram estudadas sete redes de empresas de distintas regioes do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Atraves de entrevistas com os presidentes destas redes foram coletados os dados e os mesmos foram analisados pela tecnica da analise de conteudo.
