Promoting Sustainable Entrepreneurship Through Competition: The Case of Investment and Development Agency of LatviaMežaraups, Rihards January 2022 (has links)
The aim of this research is to analyse and describe the promotion of sustainable entrepreneurship by governmental organizations to new entrepreneurs. The thesis looks into the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA) which is the main governmental body for organizing business idea competitions in Latvia. The desired outcome of this study is to provide insight into sustainability education to new entrepreneurs and point out issues on state level that hinder transition to sustainability. A qualitative research technique was selected as it offers a way to conduct a comparative research for analysing different points of view for case studies. The results showed that, among other findings, that there is too little emphasis on sustainability at national level, resulting in little interest from the public and a correspondingly narrow range of offerings from LIAA. Consequently, the excessive volume of work and functions is hindering the agency's work, which is reflected in delayed development at sustainability context. The fact that Latvia is lacking a clear national image could be perceived as the result of inability to define values for several decades and failure to implement innovative, sustainability-oriented education system.

[en] THE IMPACT OF A SOCIAL ORGANIZATION IN THE BRAZILIAN FOREIGN POLICY: THE CASE OF THE REDE NACIONAL DE ENSINO E PESQUISA (RNP) / [pt] A INFLUÊNCIA DE UMA ORGANIZAÇÃO SOCIAL NA POLÍTICA EXTERNA BRASILEIRA: O CASO DA REDE NACIONAL DE ENSINO E PESQUISA (RNP)VANESSA RODRIGUES DE MACEDO 28 February 2008 (has links)
[pt] A partir do governo Fernando Henrique Cardoso começou a
ser adotado no
Brasil um modelo de administração de serviços públicos de
caráter
público/privado, conhecido como Organização Social (OS).
As OS são
organizações privadas sem fins lucrativos que administram
os mais variados
serviços públicos nacionais. Atualmente existem cerca de
200 OSs nos planos
municipal, estadual e federal, dentre elas a Rede Nacional
de Ensino e Pesquisa -
RNP, organização que cuida da operação bem como das
questões estratégicas da
Internet acadêmica brasileira. O objetivo desta
dissertação é desenvolver uma
análise do caso RNP visando a compreensão de sua atuação
internacional e sua
contribuição para a política externa brasileira. Minha
hipótese pretende
demonstrar que a atuação dupla da RNP, nas esferas pública
e privada,
potencializa sua influência na composição da agenda de
política externa brasileira
para a sociedade da informação e integração regional na
medida em que
possibilita a este ator participar simultaneamente de
diferentes loci do processo
decisório que influenciam na política externa. A partir de
uma atuação
burocrática, a RNP transita com facilidade pelas
instâncias hierárquicas da
burocracia e assume um papel análogo ao de uma minoria
burocrática. Por meio
de estratégias de influência tão, e em alguns casos até
mais, capazes quanto às
utilizadas pelos principais atores burocráticos, essas
minorias asseguram seu
espaço na arena do processo decisório de política externa.
Em outro diapasão, a
atuação não-estatal da RNP insere esta organização na rede
horizontal de atores
não-estatais em sua área de atuação. Face à relevância
destes atores observada no
bojo da revolução tecnológico-informacional, os mesmos vêm
demonstrando
efetiva participação na elaboração da política externa
brasileira. / [en] Since Fernando Henrique Cardoso´s administration, Brazil
started to adopt
a public / private way for public services management,
known as Social
Organization (SO). The SOs are not-for-profit
organizations that operate a variety
of national public services. Currently, there are around
200 SOs operating at the
local, estate and federal levels, among them Rede Nacional
de Ensino e Pesquisa -
RNP, the organization in charge of the Brazilian academic
Internet operation and
its strategic matters. The goal of this dissertation is to
develop an analysis on RNP
case, aiming at understanding its international actorness
and its contribution for
the Brazilian foreign policy. My hypothesis intends to
show that RNP´s double
actorness in the public and private realms, leverage its
influence in the Brazilian
foreign policy agenda for the information society and
regional integration. This
fact enables RNP to take part simultaneously in the
different decision process loci
that impact the country foreign policy. From bureaucratic
acting, RNP moves
with relative ease among the realms of the bureaucratic
hierarchy and takes over a
role analogous of a bureaucratic minority. By using
influence strategies as capable
as those used by the major bureaucratic actors, these
minorities are able to
conquer their space in the foreign policy decision process
realm. On the other
hand, the non-state RNP acting allows it to participate on
the non-state actor
network. On the forefront of the relevance of these non-
state actors, observed on
the realm of the information technology revolution, have
been actively taking part
in the construction of the Brazilian foreign policy agenda.
