Previous issue date: 2018-08-23 / This dissertation is linked to the research group Youth and Education of PUC Goiás, and
registered in the CNPQ. The general objective of this study is to analyze, along with the official
documents of Brazilian education, from 1990 to the year 2015, the attributed meanings to
gender and ethnic-racial diversity, and their impact on the political pedagogical projects of
Basic Education. And specific objectives were: to understand the political project of the World
Bank and international organizations for educational policies, especially in relation to diversity;
to present the main discussions on gender, race and ethnicity in the International Conferences,
from 1990 to 2015; to analyze the political, economic and socio-cultural foundations that
constitute principles in the formulation and implementation of diversity policies (gender and
ethnic-racial). The theoretical bases that supported this research were the studies on culture,
especially the studies of Raymond Willians; the concept of identity, difference and
multiculturalism (HALL, 2003) and interculturalism (SILVEIRA, 2008). In addition to studies
on diversity and education, by CANDAU (1997, 2002, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012), among
other authors. Concepts of gender, race, and ethnicity, as well as their overlapping, are
discussed through cross-sectional studies (CRENSHAW, 2002). This concept asserts that
gender social issues and ethnic-racial relations gain greater discriminatory relevance when
perceiving difference within difference. Also, from the studies of Nancy Fraser (2006), the twodimensional
model on inequalities is discussed. To understand the focus of this study,
educational policies for diversity are presented; the World Bank / UNESCO relationship, with
the educational issues of developing countries. The main world conferences and their proposals
are related in the construction of an education for diversity, ending with the analysis of the
Brazilian legislation (1990 to 2015), on gender and ethnic-racial diversity. It is a qualitative,
bibliographical and documentary research, having as methodological procedure the
Documentary Analysis. The documentary analysis constitutes a methodological procedure of
investigation of the social reality, whose conceptions are broad, being based by diverse
philosophical conceptions on the research used in the approaches of positivist nature, as
qualitative and of more character that is critical. The results point out that the Brazilian
legislation tries to meet certain goals imposed by the World Bank, but it does not want to be in
relation to the demands of organized social movements and especially in the alteration of school curricula to meet the social and theoretical perspectives of diversity. ethnic-racial issues have been incorporated more clearly into the curriculum and in the Pedagogical Political Projects, while gender issues appear little in the document and still less in the school curriculum. / Esta dissertação está vinculada ao grupo de pesquisa Juventude e Educação da PUC Goiás,
registrado no CNPQ. Integra-se ao escopo da Linha de Pesquisa Educação, Sociedade e Cultura
do Programa de Pós-Graduação da PUC Goiás. O objetivo geral deste estudo é analisar, junto
aos documentos oficiais da educação brasileira, de 1990 até o ano de 2015, os sentidos
atribuídos à diversidade de gênero e étnico-racial e o seus impactos nos projetos políticos
pedagógicos da Educação Básica. E, como objetivos, específicos buscou-se a compreensão do
projeto político do Banco Mundial e dos organismos internacionais para as políticas
educacionais, principalmente em relação à diversidade; a exposição das principais discussões
sobre gênero, raça e etnia nas Conferências internacionais, de 1990 a 2015; a análise dos
fundamentos políticos, econômicos e socioculturais que se constituem como princípios na
formulação e implementação das políticas de diversidade (gênero e étnico-raciais). As bases
teóricas que sustentaram esta pesquisa foram os estudos sobre cultura, sobretudo os estudos de
Raymond Willians; o conceito de identidade, diferença e multiculturalismo (HALL, 2003) e
interculturalismo (SILVEIRA, 2008). Além dos estudos sobre diversidade e educação, por
CANDAU (1997; 2002; 2007; 2008; 2009; 2011; 2012), dentre outros autores. Discutem-se as
concepções de gênero, raça e etnia, assim como o sobreposicionamento delas, por meio dos
estudos acerca da intersecionalidade (CRENSHAW, 2002). Esse conceito afirma que as
questões sociais de gênero e as relações étnico-raciais ganham maiores relevâncias
discriminatórias quando se apreende a diferença dentro da diferença. Discorre-se, ainda, a partir
dos estudos de Nancy Fraser (2006), o modelo bidimensional sobre desigualdades. Para
entender o foco deste estudo, apresentam-se as políticas educacionais para a diversidade; a
relação Banco Mundial/UNESCO, com as questões educacionais dos países em
desenvolvimento. Relacionam-se as principais conferências mundiais e suas proposições na
construção de uma educação para a diversidade, finalizando com a análise da legislação
brasileira (1990 a 2015), sobre diversidade de gênero e étnico-racial. Trata-se de uma pesquisa
qualitativa, bibliográfica e documental, tendo como procedimento metodológico a análise
documental. A análise documental se constitui em procedimento metodológico de investigação
da realidade social, cujas concepções são amplas, pautando-se por diversas concepções
filosóficas sobre a pesquisa utilizada tanto nas abordagens de natureza positivista, como
qualitativa e de caráter mais crítico. Os resultados apontam que a legislação educacional
brasileira tenta atender a algumas metas impostas pelo Banco Mundial, deixando porém a
desejar em relação às reivindicações dos movimentos sociais organizados, em especial na
alteração dos currículos escolares para atender às perspectivas sociais e teóricas da diversidade,
embora as questões étnico-raciais tenham sido incorporadas de forma mais visível no currículo
e nos Projetos Políticos Pedagógicos, enquanto as questões de gênero pouco aparecem nos
documentos e, menos ainda, no currículo escolar.

CORPORATE CULTURE DIVERSITY ¡V A NEW DETERMINANT OF ENTRY MODES: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF TAIWANESE MNCSNguyen, Hoang-Linh 01 September 2010 (has links)
This study seeks to contribute to entry mode literature by introducing the concept of ¡§corporate culture diversity¡¨. Compared to multinational corporations (MNCs) from developed countries, Taiwan¡¦s MNCs have shorter history of internationalization. Therefore, international learning is critical to their entry modes. We examined an original determinant of entry mode choice, proposed and tested the operationalization for a new theoretical construct, namely ¡§corporate culture diversity¡¨.
In the theory of knowledge development process, it suggests that MNCs enter a foreign country initially with relatively small commitments, for instance through export, because of the high uncertainty caused by a low level of knowledge regarding the operational environment of the host country. At the later stage, as knowledge development takes place over time and the uncertainty is reduced. MNCs then gradually increase their levels of commitment to the country. MNCs are viewed to go through this sequential and incremental process of internationalization within not only a foreign country but also when they stretch out from one foreign country to another.
To establish a new theoretical construct, hypotheses were developed on the entry modes in relation to cultural diversity of a firm¡¦s international experience, a step beyond the conventional theory of how national cultural differences influence entry mode choice. The hypotheses were tested within the framework of organizational learning, using data on 1,156 entries that 376 Taiwanese MNCs carried out in 41 countries and territories during 1986-2006. Additionally, a moderating effect of corporate culture diversity regarding entry modes in countries with high level of cultural distance was also specified.
The result shows that not only culture distance at national level and prior experience by the MNC in a host country, but also the culture diversity of the MNC itself has a strong effect on the decision making process of entry mode choice. In addition, the research confirmed the traditional view that the amount of cultural learning needed in a particular host country is an important determinant of mode choice in foreign direct investments. However, less traditionally, the finding that corporate culture diversity that reflects the capacity of an MNC in understanding foreign cultures had a significant increasing effect on the selection of WOSs mode over JVs mode seems to provide an important contribution to this field of research. Most importantly, the novelty of the research is that we have successfully formulated an operationalization of a new construct ¡V the culture diversity at corporate level, a step beyond the national level. The culture diversity reflects the level that an MNC exposes to foreign cultures. Our result contributes to support the importance of the concept of corporate culture diversity. The operationalization of this construct has also been tested and found significant in our empirical test.

My research shows that Sweden is a low-power distance, feminine and neutral culture. While Australia is a higher power-distance, masculine and more affective culture, compared to Sweden. My study also confirmed that the time aspect is not as flexible communicated in Sweden as it is in Australia. All these culture differences are reflected in the cultures’ communication style. For example, Swedes are characterized by a team-oriented, open and equal communication style, whereas Australians use a more hierarchical, assertive and unilateral communication style. While group discussions, personal responsibility, and a high flow of information are common in Sweden, Australia is more characterized by delegation and protectiveness of territories, authority, and information flow.</p>
