This diploma thesis deals with question about real impact of information and communication technology on current organizations and what is a real benefit of using information and communication technologies (ICT) for organizations and their surroundings. Thesis is divided into two main parts, theoretical and practical one. In the first part, there is theoretical base for problematic about organization and ICT and their mutual relations. At the end of this part I tried to summarize the impact of ICT on organization and society, according to obtained material, collected information and logic. In the second part there is presented an organization department of selected company without typical ICT support. Based on process analysis taking place in this unit, there is list of identified information needs of this processes and how they are met. Finally I will try to recommend some solutions to improve the current situation.

Para atingir o objetivo, buscar-se-á pesquisar o nível de conhecimento dos profissionais do Sistema FIEB sobre o movimento de acesso aberto e o uso de repositórios no processo de comunicação e uso da informação. Dessa forma, será possível identificar as práticas de tratamento da informação disponível no meio digital, realizadas pela instituição. A população utilizada foi o corpo de funcionários que atuam como coordenadores de cursos superiores e de pós-graduação, assim como os que trabalham nos seguintes setores: o Núcleo de Pesquisa Aplicada (NPA), que oferece suporte à gestão técnica e financeira de projetos de pesquisa; o Núcleo de Propriedade Intelectual (NPI), que gerencia tanto os procedimentos protetivos da propriedade intelectual dos produtos e/ou processos quanto resultados de projetos de Pesquisa, Desenvolvimento e Inovação (P&D&I) – seja os dos serviços técnicos e tecnológicos ou os de educação profissional das unidades operacionais do SENAI-BA; o Núcleo de Educação a Distância (NEAD), que desenvolve objetos de aprendizagem; e a Biblioteca que gerencia a produção intelectual e documental da Instituição, salvaguardando a memória institucional. Trata-se de um estudo de caso, com abordagens qualitativas e quantitativas, cujos métodos, para o alcance dos objetivos estabelecidos, são o descritivo e o exploratório. O instrumento utilizado para coleta de dados foi o questionário semiestruturado aplicado por meio do sistema Survey Monkey. O repositório híbrido é considerado uma ferramenta que reúne várias obras (livros, artigos, vídeos, imagens, entre outros) disponibilizando-as em diferentes formatos (pdf, jpg, txt, avi, doc, e-pub, entre outros), propondo promover a partilha, a (re) utilização de recursos e objetos de aprendizagem. Ao refletir sobre seu uso, neste estudo, observa-se que as comunidades de prática (bibliotecas, aprendizagem a distância, sistemas de informação, publicações e gestão de registros) têm um importante papel em seu desenvolvimento e manutenção. Nessa perspectiva, verifica-se que a falta de uma gestão eficaz da informação científica, técnica e artística, disponíveis no ambiente digital, além de ocasionar dificuldades na acessibilidade e intercâmbio da informação, pode inviabilizar sua preservação, difusão e também dificultar a expansão da visibilidade da instituição. / ABSTRACT This is a study that aims to identify the suitability of the hybrid repository in the management of scientific and artistic information produced in IES - Senai, Bahia. To achieve the goal, seeking will study the level of knowledge of the professionals at FIEB system about the open access movement and use of repositories in the process of communication and information use. Thus, it was possible to identify the treatment practices of information available in digital media, performed by the institution. The population used was the body of employees who act as coordinators of undergraduate courses and postgraduate, as well as those working in the following sectors: the Center for Applied Research (NPA), which supports the technical and financial management of projects Research, the Center for Intellectual Property (NPI), which manages both the protective procedures of intellectual property products and / or the processes as outcomes of Research projects, Development and Innovation (R & D & I) - as is the technical and technology services or of professional education units operating at Senai-BA, the Center for Distance Education (NEAD), which develops learning objects, and the library that manages the intellectual and documentary output of the institution, safeguarding the institutional memory. This is a case study with qualitative and quantitative approaches, whose methods to achieve the established objectives, are descriptive and exploratory. The instrument used for data collection was a semi-structured questionnaire administered using the Survey Monkey system. The hybrid repository is considered a tool that combines several works (books, articles, videos, images, etc.) making them available in different formats (pdf, jpg, txt, avi, doc, e-pub, among others), proposing to promote sharing, the (re) use of resources and learning objects. Reflecting on their use, in this study, it is observed that communities of practice (libraries, distance learning, information systems, publications and records management) have an important role in its development and maintenance. In this perspective, it appears that the lack of an effective management of scientific information, technical and artistic, available in the digital environment, in addition to causing difficulties in the accessibility and exchange of information, can derail their preservation, dissemination and also hinder the expansion of the institution visibility.

The U.S. Congress has made health information technology a central component of the national quest to improve health care delivery. The problem addressed in this study was the uncertainty among healthcare providers regarding the benefits of health care information technology adoption relative to healthcare delivery processes and outcomes. The purpose of the study was to understand the effectiveness of information technology as perceived by healthcare providers. The research questions were designed to investigate the relationship between health information technology and organizational effectiveness, exchange of information, organizational process, organizational productivity, and direct personal care. Sociotechnical systems theory and Donabedian's framework for health care quality evaluation were the theoretical bases for this quantitative study. Data were provided through anonymous online survey of 116 healthcare workers, and analyzed using multiple regression and Spearman's correlation coefficient. The results of the study showed a statistically significant positive correlation between organizational effectiveness, organizational exchange of information, organizational process, organizational productivity, and healthcare information technology. No statistically significant correlation existed between personal care and health information technology. These findings suggest that providers' frequent use of healthcare information technology, like telemedicine, makes patients less involved. The implications for social change include enabling healthcare providers to develop an efficient and effective way to engage with patients, in order to achieve effective patient-centered organization.
