The government, in a certain way, has been taking some measures in order to find a solution to the Education problem, which has been causing several changes in the Educational Institutions that are part of this system, as well as in the legislation that regulates the dynamics of this sector. In such context, a new form of Professional Education emerges, the Technology University Courses. Being searched for continuously by students back in the 70's, they now recover their importance in the Superior Education scenario with a new format based on essential competences so that the student can receive a graduation degree along with a diploma and have a well defined professional role in the labor market, where the competitive advantage is more and more within the scope of its Human Resources. In this regard, this piece of work refers specifically to the implantation of these courses with this new format in the city of S??o Paulo, commercial center of vital importance in Brazil. In order to reach the objectives of this work, a theoretical bibliographic research was necessary, as well as the study of the present legislation and interviews with the Head People of Private Institutions that have implanted such courses initially and served as experimental cases to make the curricula by competences the way they are made today - in a modular way, with a short duration, low costs for the student and the possibility of a continuity of the studies in matter of Post-Graduation, either Lato or Stricto Sensu. From the results achieved on the interviews and using theoretical foundation as basis, the Technology University Courses, also known as Tecn??logos, represent an extremely important role in the Education and a very important role in the Private Education Institutions, where they found a solution to fill the classrooms that had been threatened after the extinction of Technical Courses in the secondary school. / A Educa????o Superior brasileira atende uma demanda cada vez maior de estudantes oriundos do ensino m??dio, o governo de certa forma tem tomado a????es para encontrar uma solu????o para o problema da Educa????o, o que tem causado diversas mudan??as tanto quanto nas Institui????es Educacionais que fazem parte desse sistema como na legisla????o que regula as din??micas desse setor.

Entre 1864 e 1870 a regi?o hoje conhecida como Am?rica do Sul vivenciou seu maior conflito armado. Brasil, Argentina e Uruguai declararam Guerra contra o Paraguai. Os governantes brasileiros passaram a conceber o Imp?rio como superior ? na??o paraguaia, que para eles era um pa?s n?o-civilizado. Entenderam que para manter a civiliza??o e seguir o progresso, precisavam desenvolver sua instru??o. O Imp?rio mobilizou homens de toda a parte de seu territ?rio. Alguns partiram para a Guerra voluntariamente e outros foram for?ados. Com o desenvolver da Guerra o recrutamento tornou-se cada vez mais dif?cil, levando fam?lias inteiras a deslocarem-se, professores e alunos a abandonarem as escolas e a cidade. Os professores paulistas passaram a recorrer ao passado patri?tico da prov?ncia na qual havia sido proclamada a independ?ncia do Imp?rio.

Between 1864 and 1870 the area now known as South America experienced its greatest armed conflict. Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay declared war against Paraguay. Brazilian governors began to conceive the Empire as superior to the Paraguayan nation, which for them, was a non-civilized country. They understood that to maintain civilization and follow the progress, they needed to develop their education. The Empire mobilized men of any part of its territory. Some left for the war voluntarily and others were forced. Along that current War, the recruitment had become increasingly difficult, leading entire families moving, teachers and students to leave the school and the city. The paulistas teachers have been turning to the patriotic past of the province in which he was proclaimed the independence of the Empire. Civilization and progress, present at the leaders speeches were reflected in the S?o Paulo social practices that culminate in the notion of patriotism, also reflected in the education of children and youth of the period.

Once they are closest to the population, the decisions made at the municipal level are readily perceived by users and citizens. On the other hand, the social demands and the management of the administrative structure need efficient financial management and a constant search for resources. Additionally, the 9.478/97 Act, which amended the mode of distribution of oil revenues, brought to some municipalities, a new frontier of resources available by the distribution of oil royalties. Given this new frontier of resources, one wonders whether there is not relaxation in fiscal effort and an increasing inefficiency in the management of the administrative machinery by the benefited municipalities. The aim of this work is verify if petroleum revenues cause distortions in the way municipalities run their fiscal effort, that is, if the oil royalties contribute to increase inefficiencies in the municipalities involved in their search for the own revenues and their expense management. For this work, we selected 56 municipalities of the State of S??o Paulo which have been received the distribution of oil revenues during the period between the years 2005 to 2012. The efficiency of municipalities was obtained from a non-parametric production frontier model, the Data Envelopment Analysis - DEA, creating a ranking of the S??o Paulo municipalities which received oil royalties. Given the distribution rules of oil royalties imposed by the regulatory framework, the results showed the values distributed to S??o Paulo municipalities have great variability and has been showed relevant only in a few municipalities. There was no significant difference in the tax effort of the municipalities affected by the variable oil royalites. However, several factors related to municipal management indicated that such rents can contribute to increase inefficiencies in the management of municipal administrative machinery / A descentraliza????o federativa, promovida pela Constitui????o Federal de 1988, elevou os Munic??pios brasileiros ao importante papel na dissemina????o das pol??ticas p??blicas. Por estarem mais pr??ximos da popula????o, as decis??es realizadas na esfera municipal s??o prontamente percebidas pelos usu??rios e pelos cidad??os. Por outro lado, as demandas sociais e a administra????o da m??quina administrativa necessitam de uma gest??o financeira eficiente e uma constante busca por recursos. Adicionalmente, a Lei 9.478/97, que alterou o modo de distribui????o das rendas do petr??leo, trouxe, para alguns Munic??pios, uma nova fronteira de recursos, disponibilizada pela distribui????o dos royalties de petr??leo. Diante dessa nova fronteira de recursos, questiona-se se n??o h??, por parte dos Munic??pios beneficiados, um relaxamento no esfor??o fiscal e o aumento da inefici??ncia na gest??o da m??quina administrativa. Neste trabalho objetiva-se verificar se as rendas do petr??leo provocam distor????es na forma como os Munic??pios s??o conduzidos em seu esfor??o fiscal, ou seja, se os royalties de petr??leo contribuem para o aumento das inefici??ncias nos Munic??pios envolvidos em sua busca pelas receitas pr??prias e na sua gest??o de despesas. Para a realiza????o deste trabalho, foram selecionados 56 Munic??pios do Estado de S??o Paulo, contemplados pela distribui????o das rendas do petr??leo durante o per??odo compreendido entre os anos de 2005 a 2012. A efici??ncia dos Munic??pios foi obtida a partir de um modelo de fronteira de produ????o n??o param??trico, a An??lise Envolt??ria de Dados, criando um ranking dos Munic??pios paulistas beneficiados pelos royalties de petr??leo. Os resultados mostraram que, diante das regras de distribui????o dos royalties de petr??leo impostas pelo marco regulat??rio, os valores distribu??dos aos Munic??pios paulistas possuem grande variabilidade e s??o relevantes apenas em poucos Munic??pios. N??o houve diferen??a significativa no esfor??o fiscal dos Munic??pios afetados pela vari??vel royalites de petr??leo. No entanto, diversos fatores ligados ?? gest??o municipal indicaram que tais rendas contribuem para aumentar as inefici??ncias na gest??o da m??quina administrativa municipal

The theoretical reference discusses the tax substitution and the tax on transactions relating to the goods circulation. The quantitative research covered the printing industries that manufacture paper and card paper packing, medicine bulls, labels and tags, since they are fitted into this kind of tax substitution. It was used the factor analysis and, after rotated, were found the factors: satisfaction, benefits, the government actuation and the facilities. The search results show that these entrepreneurs are not satisfied with the ICMS deferment, because it does not present benefits, since the government does not fulfill its role in the approval of credits, resulting in difficulties to repass the ICMS accumulated credits for the payment of the suppliers by the purchasing of raw materials. This research identified that, if the manufacturers might revindicate the deferment revocation, they would ask it or even change for a state not covered by this kind of back tax substitution that corresponds to the deferment. It was highlighted in research that contributed to deferral not lowering the price, reduce capital and the third increase in not competitiveness. / O objetivo desta pesquisa ?? verificar qual o efeito do diferimento do ICMS nas ind??strias gr??ficas do Estado de S??o Paulo, que ?? uma das esp??cies de substitui????o tribut??ria denominada substitui????o tribut??ria para tr??s.

A pesquisa quantitativa abrangeu as ind??strias gr??ficas que fabricam embalagem em papel e papel cart??o, bula, etiqueta e r??tulo, por serem as que se enquadram nesse tipo de substitui????o tribut??ria. Foi utilizada a an??lise descritiva dos respondentes e an??lise fatorial e, ap??s ser rotacionada, foram encontrados os fatores: satisfa????o, benef??cio, o papel do governo e as facilidades. Os resultados da pesquisa evidenciam que esses empres??rios n??o est??o satisfeitos com o diferimento do ICMS, pois n??o traz benef??cios, uma vez que o governo n??o cumpre o seu papel na homologa????o dos cr??ditos, havendo dificuldade em repassar os cr??ditos acumulados de ICMS para o pagamento de aquisi????o das mat??rias-primas nos fornecedores. Esta pesquisa identificou que, se os fabricantes tivessem oportunidade de reivindicar a revoga????o do diferimento, eles a solicitariam ou, ainda, mudariam para um Estado n??o abrangido por essa esp??cie de substitui????o tribut??ria para tr??s, correspondente ao diferimento. Foi evidenciada na pesquisa que o diferimento n??o contribui para o barateamento do pre??o, redu????o de capital de terceiros e n??o aumenta a competitividade.
