Utilização da industria de energia elétrica para financiar a educação com vistas ao desenvolvimento econômico: uma proposta para o Brasil / Utilization of electrical power industry to finance education with a view to economic development: a purpose for Brazil.Franco, Armando Cesar 31 July 2009 (has links)
Resumo Partindo da constatação das péssimas condições de vida da maioria do povo brasileiro 34,1% vivendo abaixo da linha da pobreza e da crescente lucratividade da indústria de energia elétrica no país, o presente trabalho procurou uma forma dessa indústria contribuir para saldar parte do passivo social brasileiro. Os resultados obtidos pelos estudantes brasileiros, em praticamente todos os processos de avaliação existentes, indicam que o baixo nível do ensino público é um dos maiores problemas que o país tem a enfrentar no curto prazo. As projeções da evolução da pirâmide etária da população brasileira indica que, em poucos anos, a maioria da população já se encontrará em idade ativa, ou seja, já deverá ter sua formação escolar concluída, o que indica a urgência da busca pela melhoria da qualidade do ensino fundamental. As externalidades dos investimentos públicos em educação, sendo superiores aos retornos privados, justificam a atuação do Estado nessa atividade de relevância inquestionável para a construção da nação.Demonstrada a forte correlação entre o desempenho dos estudantes do ensino fundamental e a produção per capita dos países, é feita uma proposta de utilização de recursos gerados na indústria de energia elétrica brasileira para aplicação em ações que busquem mais qualidade no ensino fundamental do país. A proposta, que não eleva os custos da indústria e não significa elevação de tarifa para o usuário final, é a prorrogação por 5 anos do recolhimento da RGR (Reserva Global de Reversão), cuja extinção está prevista para o final de 2010. O valor recolhido anualmente permitiria quase dobrar os valores aplicados na ação de melhoria da qualidade do ensino no orçamento federal de 2009, devendo antecipar as metas de desempenho propostas no Plano de Desenvolvimento da Educação PDE, que busca alcançar os níveis obtidos pelos países da OCDE em 2025. Outros trabalhos podem ser desenvolvidos, buscando alternativas de financiamento da educação no Brasil, considerando a renda do petróleo que poderá ser obtida a partir da exploração do óleo do pré-sal. / Abstract Starting from the observation of the awful living situation of the majority of the Brazilian population 34.1% living below the poverty line and the increasing profitability of the electricity industry in the country, this project aimed at finding a way in which the electricity industry could provide financial assistance to eliminate part of the Brazilian social passive. The results obtained by Brazilian students - in practically all the available evaluation processes indicate that the poor level of publicly funded education is one of the most important problems that Brazil has to face in the short term. The projections of evolution on the age pyramid indicate that in a few years most of the Brazilian population will be in the active age group. In other words, the majority of the population should have concluded their formative education. This projection indicates the urgent need of improving the quality of basic (fundamental) education. The externalities of the public investment in education, being larger than the private return, justify the argument for government intervention, since education is without a doubt of extreme relevance for the nation development. Since the correlation between the basic level students performance and the countries per capita production has been demonstrated, we propose the use of resources generated by the Brazilian electricity industry on funding programs to improve the quality of basic level education in the country. Its proposed that, and it does not imply increased costs to the industry or increase in the final cost to the consumer, that the Global Reserve of Reversion (GRR ) collection should be extended for 5 additional years. The GRR collection was programmed to stop in the end of 2010. This annual contribution would allow almost double the amount that is applied towards programs to improve the quality of basic level education as established by the federal budget in 2009, therefore anticipating the goals set by the Education Development Plan (EDP). The EDP aims to reach the same levels attained by the countries members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in 2025. Other similar projects could be developed to find alternative sources of funding for education in Brazil. One such source to be considered in the future is the profit that may be obtained by the oil production in the new pré-sal area. 1.

Implications of “New Norm” on the management of project teams within the electrical power industryBaig, Waqas, Talib, Zeeshan January 2022 (has links)
Background: For an organization to grow, it is important that projects are completed timely with good quality. This requires that projects are managed successfully. Attributes of project managers, sub-project managers and team leaders help them to steer the projects in the right direction. By using these attributes, project managers and sub-project managers, lead the team and direct them towards final goal. The traditional working style was that team members are located at the same physical location which helps them to interact and have face to face meetings. COVID-19 pandemic has forced companies to change their working style to remote working. As a result of this, companies are now shifting towards new norm by giving flexibility to their employees of working from home even when the COVID-19 pandemic is over. The impact of new norm on the management of project team is investigated in this thesis. Trust as a characteristics of project manager is studied to see its impact on management of project teams in the setting of ‘new norm’. Despite being a vital component for project success, little is known about factors affecting trust within the technical industry in general and electrical power industry in particular. Objectives: The main objective of the thesis is to explore how the new norm has impacted the management of project teams within electrical power industry. Further on, the study aims to determine the factors affecting trust within electrical power industry. Methodology: Qualitative research method using semi-structured interviews is used to gather the empirical data for answering the research questions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with project managers, sub-project managers, and design leads working in one of the companies within electrical power industry. The data was further analyzed and categorized into different codes and themes. Results: Using qualitative data analysis, the findings demonstrate how new norm has impacted the management of project teams. The findings also show the challenges that project managers, sub-project managers, and team leads have faced because of the change in working style. The analysis also revealed that factors such as open communication, competence, reliable behavior etc. are vital for building trust within project team. Conclusions: Our study shows that in new way of working, there is a need to tailor the way project managers are managing their project teams. The project managers had to call for extra meetings both individually and collectively to keep track of the progress and maintain a working relationship with team members. The amount of effort required to manage the team has increased while working in the new norm. Team members are relying more on the IT system compared to the face-to-face discussion before COVID-19 pandemic. Apart from the challenges, one advantage with the online meetings is that the number of travels has reduced which has saved a lot of time and money. Trust is identified as a key component for the project success within electrical power industry. Competence, open communication, reliable behaviour, sincerity, project milestone, and integrity were identified as key factors which affect trust. Of all these factors, open communication was rated as the most important component for building trust among team members.
