Gestão de operações no Brasil: uma análise do campo científico a partir da rede social de pesquisadores

Este estudo analisa a rede de pesquisadores que publicam no campo de Gestao de Operacoes no Brasil, baseando-se em 2.668 artigos publicados entre 1997 a 2009. As hipoteses do estudo sao referenciadas na literatura de redes sociais e de avaliacao de campos cientificos. Os resultados apontam que, apesar da existencia de uma rede fragmentada e pouco densa, ha grupos coesos e proximos que dao estabilidade ao campo (redes small worlds). Verificou-se que o numero de lacos do pesquisador (centralidade de grau) esta positivamente associado ao numero de artigos publicados, embora afete negativamente sua produtividade. Quando consideramos os lacos nao redundantes (structural holes), os resultados se mostraram positivos e significativos tanto para a producao quanto para a produtividade. Ademais, observou-se ainda que a centralidade do pesquisador modera o efeito dos lacos nao redundantes, sendo seu efeito sobre a produtividade maior entre pesquisadores com maior grau de centralidade.

Service's scientific community: a social network analysis (1995‐2010)

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to characterize and discuss the collaborative network formed by researchers that published about services in the top journals in Operations, Marketing, and Human Resources Management, and provide further comparison with major Service journals.Design/methodology/approach – The method used was designed documentary research using papers published in the top three relevant international journals specific to Operations, Marketing, and Human Resources from 1995 to 2010. Papers were selected using a search of the ABI/Inform Global (Proquest) database on the word “service” in the title, abstract, or keywords. Additionally, it included two major Service journals. A total of 1,481 papers and 2,457 authors composed the Social Network Analysis (SNA).Findings – The co‐authorship network revealed that the social structure is highly fragmented. However, its main component can be classified as “small world”, indicating that authors are connected to others outside their group through...

Análise de práticas na indústria naval: contribuições para a construção de redes de suprimentos

O tema da estruturacao de redes de suprimentos, observado a luz da cooperacao entre empresas, tem sido estudado como forma de entender como as empresas participantes de uma rede de suprimentos podem se inserir com mais chances de posicionamento competitivo dentro de um novo ambiente de negocios complexo e dotado de rapidas mudancas. O objetivo desta pesquisa e analisar o comportamento de atributos considerados importantes na construcao de relacionamento colaborativo em redes, partindo do pressuposto de que este relacionamento favorece a competitividade interna das empresas e da sua rede. O estudo e realizado a partir da analise de praticas de relacionamentos existentes na industria de construcao naval (ICN) no Brasil, considerando os principios colaborativos propostos na teoria e o contexto da industria analisada. As analises sao baseadas nas respostas de 196 empresas respondentes de umasurvey aplicada a um total de 1.160 empresas identificadas, localizadas em todo o pais. Atraves da tecnica de Analise Fatorial, foram selecionadas 15 variaveis que explicam os relacionamentos colaborativos nessa rede, sendo obtida a simplificacao destas em cinco componentes principais, aqui agrupados e denominados como mecanismos ou praticas dequalidade, de inovacao, deconfianca, de proximidade e deprodutividade. Embora os componentes principais expliquem a estrutura latente do comportamento dessas empresas, a frequencia relativa percentual sugere que a existencia destes atributos na cadeia analisada ainda e incipiente.

Socialization mechanisms and value creation in buyer-supplier relationships

This paper aims to investigate the impact of socialization mechanisms for value creation in buyer-supplier relationships. Drawing upon relational view and socialization mechanisms, it is argued that the buyer-supplier relationship can provide positive outcomes for its supply chain. Structural Equation Modeling performed on data collected from Purchasing and Supply Chain Executives indicates that both formal and informal socialization mechanisms positively impact the level of relational capital of supply chain. The main contribution presented by this research is the non-strong empirical evidence, indicating that relational capital is associated with higher levels of earnings for firms.Suporte financeiro: CAPES/CNPQ.

Alinhamento estratégico nas cadeias de suprimento da indústria automobilística brasileira

This study evaluates the degree of strategic alignment in the supply strategies adopted by the Brazilian automotive supply chains. The concept of alignment followed was that proposed by Vachon et al. (2009), that alignment is related to the intensity of the gaps between the requirements of a client and an emphasis on first-tier supplier in these same requirements when dealing with suppliers second tier. The unit of analysis are companies located in Brazil, first-tier suppliers to automobile manufacturers. The sample of twenty-eight companies were selected by criteria of accessibility, provided by SINDIPECAS. The units of observation were their supply managers. The results pointed that, the stronger the bonds between the automaker and its suppliers are, higher is the degree of alignment in the adopted supply strategies. Furthermore, European automakers supply chains have higher levels of strategic alignment compared to North-American automakers ones. However, the supply chains characterized by lower levels of strategic alignment are the ones where collaborative practices prevail in the relations.
