Este trabalho analisa a competitividade das empresas de bens de capital para calçados a partir das interações usuário-produtor nos dois principais sistemas locais de produção de calçados no Brasil, o Vale dos Sinos (RS) e Franca (SP). Desse modo são caracterizadas as formas de aprendizado a partir das relações entre as empresas de máquinas e os seus usuários da cadeia de calçados e os efeitos dessas interações para a organização e o desenvolvimento das empresas de bens de capital. Para realizar esse levantamento, a pesquisa contou com duas estratégias complementares, a análise de informações secundárias e a realização de uma pesquisa empírica junto aos produtores de máquinas. As empresas de bens de capital para calçados são caracterizadas pela variedade tecnológica de produtos fabricados sob encomenda e pela flexibilidade no atendimento de diferentes tipos de usuários com distintas especializações produtivas. Adicionalmente, os fluxos de informação com os usuários, produtores de calçados, têm contribuído para o desenvolvimento tecnológico das máquinas. Todavia, percebe-se que os segmentos fabricantes de máquinas customizadas apresentam uma tendência a acumular, relativamente, mais competências tecnológicas que as empresas de máquinas commoditizadas. O resultado mostra que o processo de aprendizado resultante das interações entre produtores de máquinas e seus usuários pode variar em função das características competitivas dos segmentos de máquinas, das estruturas de oferta e das flutuações no ambiente macroeconômico. Além disso, fica claro que os sistemas locais de produção exercem importante papel ao acentuar as formas de articulação local e a integração entre os sistemas de produção e de conhecimento, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento de capacitações internas às empresas de máquinas. / This master dissertation focuses on the competitiveness of the capital goods producers, by looking at the user-producer interaction in the two main Local Productive Systems of footwear in Brazil, the Sinos Valley (RS) and Franca (SP). By this way, it is characterized the modes of learning generated by the interaction between machinery firms and its users of the footwear chain and its effects for the capital goods producers. To do this, there were two different research strategies, the analysis of secondary data, and a empirical survey with capital goods producers. The footwear capital goods producers present a great technological diversity of outputs manufactured under order and flexibility in the attendance of different types of users, with different productive specialization. Additionally, the information flows with their users, the footwear producers, have contributed to the technological development of the capital goods. However, it could be seen that the segment of customized manufacturers of machines presents a trend to accumulate relatively more capabilities. The main results show that the learning process that comes from the interaction between machinery producers and their users can vary in function of the competitive characteristics of the capital goods segments, of the supply structure and the macroeconomic fluctuations. So, it\'s clear that the Local Production Systems plays an important role in fostering the local linkages among manufacturing and knowledge systems, in order to improve of the technological capabilities of Brazilian machinery producers.

Introduction: The field of SLP continues to expand, posing challenges to academic and clinical preparation of SLPs (Roth, 2015; Mason et al., 2020). According to Carozza (2019), this rapid growth has led to an increase in the roles and responsibilities for SLPs, including managerial and leadership roles. Leadership in healthcare professions is a developing field and has gained new importance with the global COVID-19 pandemic. According to ASHA’s Professional Issues Statement on the roles and responsibilities of Speech-Language Pathologists in schools (ASHA Practice Policy, 2019), leadership is an important core role and responsibility. This leadership role is performed in advocacy, supervision and mentorship, professional development, parent training and research (ASHA, 2016). Current literature reveals an emphasis on leadership in both Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Interprofessional Practice (IPP). This development emphasizes the importance of exploring leadership in school-based SLPs. Secord (2007) stated that SLPs who are in a leadership capacity can profoundly influence school-based practice. Aim: The purpose of this study is to explore leadership from the perspective of school-based SLPs through survey research. Methods: An exploratory, descriptive, quantitative research design was selected to explore the personal perspectives of school-based SLPs regarding their training in, perceptions of, and experiences regarding leadership. An online survey was developed to answer the following research questions: (1) What leadership training have school-based SLPs been exposed to? (2) What leadership positions do school-based SLPs hold? (3) What leadership characteristics do school-based SLPs consider to be essential for leadership in schools? (4) Which specific needs do school-based SLPs have relating to their leadership roles and goals? A total of 112 practicing school-based clinicians acted as respondents. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Thematic analysis was done on the results obtained from the open-ended question. Summary: 92% of the respondents reported that they did not receive any form of leadership education in their graduate program. Only 7% responded that they felt prepared for a leadership position upon graduation. 54% of school-based SLPs reported that they currently hold a leadership position within their school. Some of the leadership characteristics, skills, and strategies identified to be the most important include building trusting relationships; strong collaboration skills; being a good communicator; demonstrating inclusivity; prioritizing students; communicating regularly with teachers; and implementing evidence-based practice. Additionally, the important leadership characteristics to implement during a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic were identified as effective and clear communication, flexibility, and the ability to provide clear directions to initiate and maintain action. 59% of the respondents indicated that they would be interested in receiving further information on developing leadership skills in the schools, the most popular preferences being continuing education courses, in-service training, and ASHA annual conventions. The findings indicate an urgent need for increased leadership training in SLP graduate institutions, which may serve to increase both the numbers of school-based SLPs who hold a leadership position, as well as the quality of leadership that school-based SLPs provide within their positions.
