O povoamento inicial que deu origem à cidade ocorreu nas décadas de 1930 e 1940, principalmente por migrantes mineiros. Um estabelecimento comercial, o cemitério, a capela de São Sebastião e uma escola pública; localizados às margens de uma estrada que interligava Mossâmedes a Córrego do Ouro são as bases de constituição da cidade. O Povoado do Barreirinho, primeira denominação de Sanclerlândia, foi elevado à condição de distrito e de município com a denominação de Sanclerlândia. Para o desenvolvimento desta investigação, levamos em conta a constituição e a ampliação das centralidades intra e interurbana na e da cidade. Até o início da década de 1990, ela foi uma cidade local sem influência expressiva na região. A partir de então, passou por um conjunto articulado de mudanças, muitas delas ainda em curso, cujos processos possibilitaram transformações no espaço intraurbano, inclusive com a ampliação de áreas de concentração das atividades comerciais e de serviços no centro da cidade. As transformações são expressivas também na relação interurbana de Sanclerlândia na e com a região, mais especificamente com a ampliação de influências nas cidades de Buriti de Goiás, Córrego do Ouro e Mossâmedes. Assim, os processos verificados na cidade definiram e definem, por enquanto, a centralidade da cidade no seu espaço interno, bem como na sua relação interurbana / This study is based on the Regional Development line of research and focus the town called Sanclerlândia which is located approximately in the junction of the motorways GO-164 e GO-326 – state of Goiás. Its first settlement ocurred within 1930 and 1940 mainly by the “mineiros” (people originally from Minas Gerais, a state located in the south-east region of Brazil). A small shop, a cemetery, the Saint Sebastian Chapel and a state school, located just beside the main road that connect Mossâmedes to Córrego do Ouro are the basis of the constitution of this town. “O povoado do Barreirinho” the previous name for Sanclerlândia, was later raised to a condition of district and municipality thereafter being called Sanclerlândia. In order to develop this study we took into account the constitution and the expansion of it as a business and services centre within the town and also in relation to some neighbouring towns. Sanclerlândia was not a very influential district until the early 1990s. However, from then on, it went through a number of well-planned changes, some of them still developing, that made it possible to transform and develop the inner urban space, including the expansion of businesses, trading and services downtown. The transformation is also quite evident in relation to some neighbouring towns such as Buriti de Goiás, Córrego do Ouro and Mossâmedes, all of which have inscreasingly been influenced by all the changes in Sanclerlândia. Therefore, the development found in this town defined and define, for the time being, its capacity of being a businesses and services centre within its inner space, as well as being it in relation to other cities

A fase monopolista de desenvolvimento do capital, historicamente, foi permeada por uma série de alterações na organização da produção, com extensões em diversos aspectos da vida em sociedade. As mudanças na inter-relação entre a estrutura produtiva e o setor financeiro caracterizaram esse processo, que envolveu também uma intensificação do grau de concentração e centralização do capital. Esta proposta objetiva avaliar, sob prisma diferenciado, o circuito secundário de movimentação de capital: o setor imobiliário e nele os shopping centers, considerados uma demonstração típica das forças capitalistas atuais. Pretendo identificar como a circulação do capital se movimenta internamente, no shopping , através de seus agentes o empreendedor, a administradora, o lojista e o cliente, e externamente na captação de recursos através das fusões, aquisições e abertura de capital, contribuindo com o crescimento dessa nova modalidade de acumulação e financeirização. / The monopolist phase of the capital development was, historically, permeated by a number of changes in the organization of the production, with extensions in various aspects in the life in society. The changes in the interrelation between the production structure and the financial sector characterized this process, which envolved an intensification of the concentration degree and centralization of the capital too. This proposal aims to evaluate, under a differentiated prism, the secondary circuit of movement of capital: the real estate - the shopping malls, considered a typical demonstration of the current capitalist forces. I intend to identify how \"the movement of capital\" moves internally in the malls, through its \"agents\" - the entrepreneur, the administrator, the shopkeeper and the client, and externally, in the fund raising through mergers, acquisitions and IPO, contributing in this new mode of accumulation and financialization.

Masters in Public Administration - MPA / This study is an investigation of how the policy of centralising government departments of the former homelands affected various stakeholders in the province. There is general concern from the people of this former homelands that there is poor service delivery in these areas since the creation of the new provincial government. In attempt to cover social, economic and, political impacts of centralisation, data were gathered through face to face interview, mailed questionnaires and, telephone interviews. The study concluded that there is a great need of devolving power to the former homelands which are now called regions in the province, as an attempt of bringing back service to where people are. In a calculated move to use the offices in the former homelands, the government may also remove the pietersburg components of government departments which are not critical to the functions of headquarters and place them in Venda, Gazankulu and, Lebowa.

The Hilmar Unified School District came into existence on July 1st, 1950, after three years of meetings by local patrons and County Committees, with final approval by the regional and State Commissions, as provided for in Chapter 16 of the Education Code. One of the primary objectives for the reorganization and unification was an improved curriculum. Curriculum study is complex and can include all parts of the school and its program. Curriculum is interwoven with personnel, finance, facilities, type of organization, and many other factors. For that reason, curriculum problems will vary in almost every school. In order to understand the basis of the reasoning for the several problems, it is necessary that a brief background be given, as well as information on the financial ability of the district. In this way, problems found in the Hilmar Unified School District can be studied in the light of comparable problems in other districts.

Should the elementary schools of the Linden Union High School District consolidate into larger administrative units in order to improve educational services? To determine if a plane of reorganization is feasible answers will be sought for the following questions: (1) What is the financial ability of the existing school districts?; (2) Are there inequalities in the economic burden of support?; (3) Are there educational inequalities?; (4) Is widespread transportation feasible?; (5) What are the population trends?; (6) What barriers affect district reorganization?; (7) Where are the community interest centers?; (8) What reorganization is educationally sound?

The purpose of this study is to determine whether additional school consolidations in Comanche County will improve the educational opportunities of all students.

In order to contribute to the research for solving the challenge of implementing business sustainability, this study aims to explore the relation between an important aspect of organizational structure; centralization, and an important aspect of sustainability management; setting sustainability objectives. This has been done, in particular, by studying the distribution of decisions related to economic, environmental and social sustainability objectives between different organizational levels in multi-plant manufacturing networks. The research is fundamentally exploratory and has been conducted as a multiple case study, with nine participating case organizations. Data has been used from the nine case organizations, based on semi-structured interviews. Five different decision-making approaches for sustainability have been found; all decisions are centralized and decided at the corporate headquarters, all decisions are aggregated and decided at the central headquarters but adapted and transformed when distributed to lower organizational levels, all decisions are integrated and decided at both the central headquarters and at lower organizational levels, all decisions are decided at an intermediate organizational level, and all decisions are local and decided at the plant level. The findings also show that there is no consistent way of deciding upon sustainability issues, where some case organizations seem to regard sustainability as a global concern, while others regard it as a more local concern. In general, the economic sustainability dimension is regarded as more of a global concern, while the environmental dimension is more of a local concern, and the social dimension more of an integrated concern, where some related issues are decided more centralized while others are decided more local. The findings of this study can act as guidance for managers when implementing or improving their sustainability strategies. The findings also provide empirical data for the academic with the possibility to expand and evaluate the research in the future. / För att bidra till att hitta en lösning till utmaningen med att implementera affärsmässig hållbarhet iorganisationer, syftar den här studien till att undersöka relationen mellan en viktig aspekt av organisationsstruktur: centralisering, och en viktig aspekt av hållbarhetsstrategi: sätta mål. Detta har gjorts genom att kartlägga fördelningen av beslut relaterade till de tre dimensionerna av hållbarhet; ekonomisk, miljö och social, mellan olika organisationsnivåer. Studien är i grunden utforskande och har genomförts som en multipel fallstudie, med nio deltagande fallstudieorganisationer. Det datamaterial som har använts baseras på semistrukturerade intervjuer. Fem olika beslutsstrukturer har hittats: alla beslut är centraliserade och fattas på huvudkontoret, alla beslut är aggregerade och fattas på huvudkontoret men anpassas till respektive lokal nivå, alla beslut är integrerade där vissa fattas på centralnivå medan andra fattas på lokalnivå, alla beslut fattas på en mellannivå i organisationen och alla beslut är lokala och fattas på fabriksnivå. I tillägg till detta, har vi hittat att vissa av organisationerna behandlar hållbarhet som en mer global angelägenhet, medan andra som  en mer lokal angelägenhet. Generellt anses den ekonomiska dimensionen som en mer global angelägenhet, medan den miljömässiga dimensionen betraktas mer som en lokal angelägenhet. Den sociala hållbarhetsdimensionen verkar vara en integrerad angelägenhet, där vissa beslut är  mer globala, medan andra är mer lokala. Studiens resultat ämnar fungera som en guide till företag när de implementerar eller förbättrar sitt hållbarhetsarbete. Resultatet utgör också viktig empirisk data som kan användas i framtida, utvecklande forskning.
