Conducting socio-economic Field Schools with local communities and students: A Field School guideline with experiences from the WoodCluster project in East AfricaHintz, Kendisha Soekardjo, Domke, Maxi, Pretzsch, Jürgen, Eirgete, Menfese Tadesse 02 March 2022 (has links)
Based on Socio-economic Field Laboratory concept, we put forward the need to amplify locally-embedded innovation to address nationwide challenges. The WoodCluster project (2017-2021) aimed to seek solutions to close the national wood supply gap based on farm-wood production in East African countries. Towards achieving the objective, one of the project activities is the implementation of Field School. A field school is understood as a practical element of a thematic study course module, supplementing theoretical teaching. It shall provide the opportunity for students to learn and test research methods in a practical manner and get in contact with the local community to exchange knowledge. It serves as a framework that requires adaptation to the local research demand and context, with its cultural, socio-economic, and environmental features. Two field schools within the framework of the project were conducted in Tanzania in 2018 and in Ethiopia in 2019. The focus of the field school was on local-level
wood production from smallholder farmers and market dynamics, but the guideline can be adapted to other thematic areas. Based on the experiences within the WoodCluster project in East Africa, this guideline elaborates the theoretical fundaments, steps, methods, and examples in conducting socio-economic field schools with local communities and graduate students.:Content iii

Previous issue date: 2014-04-25 / This dissertation evaluates the relationship between the fields of religion and
economics present in the city of Barueri. Through the analysis of the influence of
religious actions on the composition of the organizational culture of companies in the
municipality, founded in micro and small companies that survive the characteristic
difficulties in this business segment, which represent more than 99% of the total
formal businesses actually created in the country which in turn represents 53% of
jobs created in the whole of Brazil. This present situation created a series of
initiatives of the government and the rest of the population incentivizing the
improvement of the MPEs (Micro and Small Companies) to compete in the market.
One of the initiatives, based on the international model of evaluation of managerial
organization created in 2008 by SEBRAE (Brazilian service for the support of micro
and small companies) and FNQ (National Foundation of Quality) is the MPE Brazil
(prize for competitiveness of micro and small companies). The model mentioned
(MPE Brazil) was formulated with a base of studies, which indicated organizations
considered as references of success, values in common inserted into the respective
cultural organizations. The initial starting point for this dissertation was to take initial
data from existing books, materials from the internet, articles and critical research
etc., following this the method I used was a case study with data collected in the form
of interviews from various business leaders. I also developed analysis of
corporative artifacts searching to interpret the presence of the religious field in the
aspects of the researched companies cultures. The considerations on the
relationship of religiosity in shaping the entrepreneurial spirit of the entrepreneurs
interviewed, and their respective leadership styles, hence the formation and
transformation of culture and organizational values are presented throughout this
dissertation / Esta dissertação avalia as relações entre os campos religioso e econômico,
atuantes na cidade de Barueri, por meio da análise da influência de ações religiosas
na composição da cultura organizacional de empresas do município, fundadas como
micro e pequenas, e que sobreviveram às dificuldades características desse
segmento empresarial, correspondentes a mais de 99% do total de
empreendimentos formais criados anualmente no país, sendo ainda responsável por
53% dos postos de trabalho em todo o Brasil. Essa situação conjuntural
desencadeou uma série de iniciativas do governo e da sociedade civil, visando à
melhoria da capacidade de as MPEs (Micro e Pequenas Empresas) competirem no
mercado. Uma das iniciativas, baseada em um modelo internacional de avaliação da
qualidade da gestão das organizações, foi a criação, no ano de 2008, pelo Sebrae
(Serviço Brasileiro de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas) e FNQ (Fundação
Nacional da Qualidade), do MPE Brasil (Prêmio de Competitividade para Micro e
Pequenas Empresas). O referido modelo foi formulado com base em estudos que
identificaram em organizações, consideradas referências de sucesso, valores em
comum inseridos nas suas respectivas culturas organizacionais. Para o
desenvolvimento inicial desta dissertação, foi realizada a coleta de dados, tomando
por base fontes bibliográficas primárias, secundárias e em literatura crítica. O
método utilizado foi o estudo de casos, com coleta de dados por meio de
entrevistas. Desenvolveu-se, também, a análise de artefatos corporativos ,
buscando interpretar a presença do campo religioso nos aspectos da cultura das
empresas pesquisadas. As considerações sobre a relação da religiosidade na
formação do espírito empreendedor dos empresários entrevistados, e dos seus
respectivos estilos de liderança, consequentemente da formação e transformação da
cultura e dos valores organizacionais, são apresentadas ao longo desta dissertação
