Succession effectiveness in family wineries is considered critical for the incumbents and the owning families looking forward to assure winery success and trans-generational continuity, as this endeavour requires substantial commitment, social skills, financial health, and idiosyncratic considerations that are more often than not unstable. Therefore, this thesis provides a platform of critical reflection and theoretical development upon the findings of a doctoral research on the topic of effective succession in family wineries for bringing further and closer theory and professional practice. Systematic literature review of the best available sources of knowledge served as a starting point. It was shown that there is a plethora of academic research on effective family business succession that makes available useful insights into this important process. The review has identified the major theories, models, and frameworks, and provided information on different factors and variables that are believed appropriate to foster succession process further. However, the review findings are often fragmented and subjective which makes it difficult to draw valid conclusions that can be representative for family wineries. Moreover, the review revealed certain gaps and uncertainties in the research that this thesis has aimed to bridge, and allowed the development of a preliminary conceptual framework (version one) with the testable research hypotheses. A primary research that followed in the organizational context of Cypriot family wineries made use of both quantitative and qualitative approaches, at a greater and lesser extent, respectively. These approaches were put forward based on the researcher’s ontological, epistemological and axiological assumptions. The numeric data were largely generated from a self-completed questionnaire survey that was comprehensive with an open aspect. The questionnaire was mailed to the entire population of fifty-four family wineries inclusive with hundred participants. The statistical analysis was undertaken using SPSS software. Pearson correlation analysis was the foremost statistical device used in the direction of establishment significant relationships among different succession factors. In order to enrich the meaning of statistical analysis with wine-specific insights, the researcher made further use of illustrative evidence collected from the survey open aspect.

Das lógicas vigentes de produção e consumo mais recorrentes no sistema da moda, emergem problemáticas ambientais e sociais de escala mundial. Ao longo da sua evolução, a produção têxtil, uma das atividades humanas mais antigas e elementares, tornou-se uma importante responsável pelo consumo em grande escala e uso indevido de recursos naturais e, associada aos valores de consumo da sociedade urbano-industrial, a sazonalidade da moda é mais um agravante. Fruto de uma visão de mundo fragmentada, intrínseca ao paradigma moderno, o design têxtil e de moda, assim como outras áreas do conhecimento, se desenvolveram orientados a sustentar um padrão de desenvolvimento econômico e tecnológico compatíveis com estas lógicas, de forma que no Brasil, importantes saberes sobre processos tecnológicos e o uso de matérias-primas inerentes a nossa cultura popular foram levados a um processo de desuso e esquecimento. Saberes estes intimamente associados à biodiversidade e tidos como de extrema importância dentro das políticas nacionais e internacionais de desenvolvimento ambiental e social. Neste contexto, este trabalho se desenvolveu com o objetivo de propor uma coleção de fios, produzidos a partir de fibras de paina, da espécie nativa Chorisia speciosa, e de técnicas têxteis artesanais, associando à criação as pesquisas teórica e experimental. O método que delineamos para o desenvolvimento da coleção de fios abrange: i) pesquisa teórico-conceitual, em que foram levantados os principais conhecimentos sobre as matérias primas e técnicas no âmbito da cultura têxtil popular brasileira e as principais tendências de moda e consumo no Brasil e no mundo; ii) pesquisa técnico-experimental, fase da pesquisa em que foi testada a viabilidade técnica de transformar as fibras de paina e diferentes misturas destas com fibras de algodão e lã em um fio, bem como o seu tingimento, utilizando as técnicas artesanais pesquisadas na etapa anterior; iii) desenvolvimento da coleção de fios propriamente dita. A partir dos dados obtidos na pesquisa, foi identificado que o vasto conhecimento popular a cerca das técnicas têxteis demonstra imenso potencial ao incorporá-lo no processo criativo têxtil. Além disso, a pesquisa técnico-experimental apontou a viabilidade de fiação da paina com misturas de algodão e lã, bem como o seu tingimento natural. Por meio deste trabalho foi possível então ratificar a importância e potencial de aliar a pesquisa científica à criação de moda tanto para o desenvolvimento de um novo material, como na proposição de formas distintas de produção e consumo de moda. As tendências de moda pesquisadas demonstraram que uma parcela da sociedade vive na atualidade uma intensa e acelerada redefinição de conceitos, valores e estilo de vida que contrariam a configuração do mercado de moda e a lógica de consumo predominante inerente a este, e se projetam gradativamente em transformações nos comportamentos de consumo e consequentemente no mercado e economia. Assim, elas apenas reafirmam a valia da presente pesquisa para o mercado de moda e a propensão deste à aceitação de produtos como o que propusemos aqui. / Social and environmental issues have emerged in global scale from the prevailing logics of production and consumption recurrent in the fashion system. The textile production, one of the oldest elementary human activities, has become a major factor in large scale consumption and in the misuse of natural resources throughout its evolution. Another aggravating factor is the urban-industrial society consumption values and the seasonality of fashion. As a result of a fragmented worldview, intrinsic to the modern paradigm, the textile and fashion design as well as other areas of knowledge - have been developed towards the sustainability of economic and technological development patterns compatible to these logics. In Brazil, important knowledge about technological processes and the use of raw materials, inherent in our popular culture, feel in disuse and oblivion. This knowledge is closely associated with biodiversity and taken with paramount importance for national and international environmental and social development policies. In this context, this work was developed aiming to propose a yarn collection produced with kapok fibers - from the native specie Chorisia speciosa - and textile craft techniques, linking creation to theoretical and experimental research. The outlined method for the development of the yarn collection includes: i) theoretical and conceptual research, in which we analyzed the main knowledge on raw materials and techniques in Brazilian popular textile culture and main fashion and consumption trends in Brazil and the world, ii) technical and experimental research, the phase in which we tested the technical feasibility of kapok fibers transformation and different mixtures of these fibers with cotton and wool on a yarn, as well as its dyeing, using the handmade techniques surveyed in the previous step, iii) development of yarn collection. From the data obtained in the research, we identified that the vast popular knowledge on technical textiles have immense potential to be incorporated in creative textile process. In addition, technical experimental research demonstrated the feasibility of kapok spinning with mixtures of cotton and wool, as well as its natural dyeing. Throughout the work, it was possible to confirm the potential importance of linking scientific research to fashion creation for both the development of new material and for proposing different forms of fashion production and consumption. Fashion trend research showed that part of the society is experiencing an intense and accelerated redefinition of concepts, values and lifestyle that contradicts the fashion market configuration and its consumer logic. Results of this process have gradually been projected as changes in consumer behavior, and consequently, in the market and the economy. Therefore, they reaffirm this research value for the fashion market and its propensity to accept the proposed products.

The generation of attractive innovations is one of the most important and complex tasks companies undertake, the process of open innovation is being used to support this endeavour. SMEs often face difficulties applying and commercialising external sources’ technologies for their own purposes due to liability of smallness and related lack of capability of co-ordination. In particular, small and medium-sized system integrators of electronic consumer products (SIs) are (1) highly dependent on close collaboration with external organisations, (2) have to cope with turbulent technology markets, and have to manage (3) the continuous shortening of innovation cycles. These factors necessitate small and mediumsized SIs of electronic consumer products to increase their dynamic capability to innovate, which subsequently forms the basis for the SIs’ sustainable competitiveness. The effective embedding of the Purchasing Organisation (PO) into the innovation outside-in process can potentially become a major driver in improving the overall innovation process and company performance. However, given academic research does not provide sufficient insight concerning relevant Enabling Factors (EFs) and related drivers. Therefore, academics allude to a demand for further research in the field of early purchasing involvement in the innovation process. In addition, purchasing practitioners point to the low maturity of Purchasing Organisations with regard to securing innovations. To explore relevant Enabling Factors for purchasing integration into the innovation process, the qualitative study design was based on an embedded case study inquiry with multiple units of analysis. Data collection and analysis was realised through a sequential qualitative  quantitative mixedmethod approach. For this reason, interviews were conducted with 7 purchasing experts from the medium-sized German television set manufacturer Loewe. To obtain insights as to the generalisability of the findings, a purposive selected sample of 11 purchasing experts from other SIs with high dependency on innovation suppliers were interviewed via webbased questionnaires. The study identified: EF1: External Interconnectedness EF2: Preferred Customer status Process EF3: Management Commitment to the PO EF4: External Interconnectedness EF5: Early Integration into Product Planning EF6: Degree of Professionalisation of the PO EF7: Innovation Management System and EF8: Open-minded Relations based on Trust as a relevant Enabling Factor. Furthermore, the study suggests direct relations between the EFs and 32 drivers that are formative to the related Enabling Factors. Based on the study findings, 14 strategic measures were defined via focus group interviews. In this way, the study contributes to given academic knowledge in the field of early purchasing involvement into new product development processes (NPD). With regard to such new product development processes, this study suggests integrating the PO, as a third element, into the R&D and marketing interface.

She was born and lives in Olhos D'Água, one historically meeting place. Fatinha produces saints and images with corn straw and Banana fiber. There are multiple lines that shrink these objects and Fatinha: Olhos D'Água district, belonging to the municipality of Alexânia-GO, with its history and landscape, Santo Antônio square, the Feira do Troca and local religiosity. We look for these threads, by understanding that object is not isolated in itself, but has stories, from who did it, where it came from, the knowledge and techniques that were developed to the final product. The semi-structured interviews, along with participant observation, helped us to produce the ethnographic elements that will be shared in this dissertation. Thus, among the elements that configure this research, we highlight the place, the craft objects, their technical processes and the narratives of Fatinha, about her history and the objects produced by her. The elements discussed here complement each other and blend together. In this way, we think that in order to understand the craft objects, it is necessary to go through and understand the lines that surround it. / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo percorrer os fios que envolvem os objetos artesanais produzidos por Fatinha. Moradora de Olhos D‟Água, historicamente lugar de encontros, Fatinha produz Santos e Imagens com palha de milho e Fibra de bananeira. São múltiplas as linhas que encolvem estes objetos e Fatinha: o distrito de Olhos D‟Água, pertencente ao município de Alexânia-GO, com sua história e paisagem, a praça Santo Antônio, a Feira do troca e a religiosidade local. Buscamos estes fios, por entender que um objeto não é isolado em si, mas possui histórias, de quem o fez, do lugar de onde veio, dos saberes e técnicas que foram desenvolvidos para que se chegasse ao produto final. As entrevista semi-estruturadas, juntamente com a observação participante, nos ajudaram a produzir os elementos etnográficos que serão compartilhados nessa dissertação. Sendo assim, entre os elementos que configuram essa pesquisa, destaca-se, o lugar, os objetos artesanais e seus processos técnicos e as narrativas de Fatinha, acerca de sua história e os objetos produzidos por ela. Os elementos aqui discutidos se complementam e se misturam uns aos outros. Desta maneira, pensamos que para compreender os objetos artesanais, é preciso percorrer e compreender as linhas que o envolvem.

No ano de 2003 formou-se na Amazônia peruana um sistema de Áreas Naturais Protegidas (ANP) constituído pelo Parque Nacional Otishi e as Reservas Comunais Indígenas Asháninka e Matsiguenga. A legalização desse sistema tem por finalidade tanto a conservação da diversidade de espécies de flora e fauna, quanto a conservação do patrimônio cultural presente no âmbito da Cordilheira de Vilcabamba. Selecionou-se para esse estudo a comunidade Camantavishi do grupo Asháninka pertencente à família etnolinguistica Arawak pré-andino, cuja terra localiza-se na parte baixa da Cordilheira, na área de amortecimento das ANP. Conseqüentemente as decisões tomadas nesta parte terão repercussão direta sobre as partes altas de Vilcabamba. Com a formação das ANP as Comunidades Indígenas encontram-se sobe a influência de inúmeros fatores que geram impactos que podem ser considerados positivos ou negativos. O primeiro capítulo descreve o nível de participação dos povos indígenas na gestão das ANP, verificando-se que existe o envolvimento por parte das autoridades representantes das comunidades. Como indicador dos impactos culturais que ocorrem no interior da unidade produtiva fez-se uso da caracterização das variações na produção artesanal decorrentes da inserção ao mercado. No segundo capítulo, aprofunda-se sobre as técnicas de aproveitamento e o manejo tradicional da espécie florestal Trichilia pallida e suas mudanças provenientes do contato com múltiplos fatores exógenos à cultura Asháninka. São apresentadas as principais características da espécie, obtidas através de dados secundários bem como de informações obtidas junto à Comunidade escolhida. Esse capítulo apresenta também resultados advindos do levantamento qualitativo com técnicas de observação participante e entrevistas parcialmente estruturadas realizadas junto a 30 mulheres e 11 homens que moram no núcleo de Camantavishi e 13 mulheres e 13 homens do centro Shima. / In the year 2003, a system of Protected Natural Areas was formed in the Peruvian Amazon (ANP) constituted by the National Park Otishi and the Indigenous Communal Reserves of two ethnic groups, Asháninka and Matsiguenga. The beginning of this system had the purpose of conserving the diversity of flora and fauna species, as well as the conservation of the living cultural patrimony in the area of Vilcabamba Mountain. The Asháninka group was selected for this study belonging to the Preandino Arawak etnolinguistic family. The land of this group is situated in the low region of the Mountain forming the buffer zone of ANP; consequently the exploitation of resources in these areas will have direct effect on the high lands of the Mountain. As a result of ANP formation, the Indigenous Communities have now the influence of a variety of factors that generate impacts that can be considered positive or negative. The first chapter describes the participation level of the Indigenous people in the ANP management, trying to check if there is an involvement of the representative authorities of the communities. As an indicator of cultural impacts that occur in the core of the productive unit, it was used the characterization of the variations in the handcrafts from the new processes that come from the contact with the market. In the second chapter describes deeply in the techniques of exploitation and the traditional handling of the forest species, Trichilia pallida and its changes preceding the contact with multiple exogenous factors from Asháninka culture. The main characteristics of the species are presented here, from secondary data as well as information from the Camantavishi Community. This chapter also presents results from the qualitative survey with techniques of participatory observation and partially structured interviews done with 30 women and 11 men who live in the nucleus of Camantavishi Community and 13 women and 13 men of the Shima center.
