<p>This thesis aims to measure the dimensions that comprise a relationship between an organization and its public (Organization-Public Relationship) across cultures in order to ascertain which of the dimensions are valued most in those various cultures. Through a historical look at public relations literature, the relatively new theory of Organization-Public Relations is traced, explained, and then applied. O-PR dimensions considered for study are trust, control mutuality, relationship commitment, relationship satisfaction, and face and favor. The study undertaken will be exploratory in nature; the survey will be distributed to international college students currently attending American universities, 18-25 and analyzed using one-way ANOVA to provide a comparison. While many culture-specific models of public relations exist, this study does not attempt to build a new model, but to measure cultures across an existing one. The expected outcomes will provide insight into building and measuring effective cross-cultural, and multi-cultural public relations campaigns, as well as allow for a further validation and understanding of international application of the Organization-Public Relationship Assessment (OPRA): a cross-cultural, multiple-item scale for measuring organization?public relationships developed by Huang (2001). Data will also be collected, analyzed, and compared on perception of likelihood of relationship dimensions affecting word-of-mouth advertising from students

The literature presents us with two distinct, and at times opposed, approaches to strategic management: the use of strategic choice and determinism. This research shows that these approaches can actually be considered as two distinct variables, which create a space or framework in which it is possible to identify, according to the available different amounts of strategic choice and determinism, the four different ontological perspectives of determinism, hard incompatibilism, libertarianism and compatibilism. According to the literature, within each ontological perspective of the strategic choice/determinism framework, companies use different levels of strategic choice and determinism to produce organizational outcomes. This research provides empirical evidence of the real life existence of these ontological perspectives, in which companies’ performance of revenues is driven by a different amount of strategic choice or determinism according to the perspectives in which companies operate. This research also shows that other important performance indicators, such as EBITDA, depend only on deterministic variables, while ROA depends neither on strategic choice nor on deterministic variables. These findings suggest that future research could increase our knowledge on the internal environment of companies, as it could do from the hard incompatibilist perspective, which was not possible to study thoroughly within this research. The research conclusions provide several contributions to both academic knowledge and practice.

To scope of the proposal, a qualitative research was conducted by studying integrated single case, whose purpose was the multicampi model of university organization. The analysis was organizational level; the data collected techniques guided in the literature; official documents and statistical data. For data analysis, we used the documentary analysis and interpretation model, combining theoretical propositions with guiding questions of the study. They set up criteria guided the conceptual theoretical basis and weighted with similar research studies. In the analysis of the work breakdown structure, it stood out as characteristic of the studied model, structuring the university, and the campus as the operating core of the organization, different from the traditional model, structured in academic units. In the aspect of the organizational complexity of multicampi model analyzed by the campus number, UNIPAMPA is among the most complex in the country, consisting of 10 campuses, while the average of federal universities is up to 05 campuses. The spatial dispersion characteristic is present, with significant distances between campuses and the rectory; 142 to 448 km. The vertical differentiation of the structure through the university hierarchy indicated by the composition of the dome positions: rector, vice rector, pro-rectors and directors campuses, and academic and administrative coordinators campus. The differentiation of the horizontal structure, there standardization for all UNIPAMPA campuses. The integration mechanisms acting to conform the organic character of multicampi model proved to be fragile. Decentralization of power in top decision-making bodies is characterized by the representation of college campuses, not academic units, as traditional models. It was found that there are organizational dimensions of multicampi model that distinguish it from traditional models, still behind features of structured models as indications of the 1968 university reform, evidence of the need for further study of the predominant model and little explored in studies of Brazilian university administration . / A dissertação tem como objetivo, analisar as dimensões organizacionais predominantes no modelo multicampi da Universidade Federal do Pampa e seus 10 campi universitários, onde o elemento diferenciador da dispersão físico-territorial se articula numa conformação de dimensões organizacionais desse modelo, diferente das localizadas em um único município. Para alcance da proposta, realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa através do estudo de caso único integrado, cujo objeto foi o modelo multicampi de organização universitária. O nível de análise foi organizacional; as técnicas de coleta de dados pautaram-se no levantamento bibliográfico; documentos oficiais e dados estatísticos. Para análise dos dados, empregou-se a análise documental e um modelo de interpretação, articulando proposições teóricas com questões orientadoras do estudo. Estabeleceram-se critérios pautados na fundamentação teórica conceitual e na ponderação com estudos de pesquisas similares. Na análise da estrutura de divisão do trabalho, sobressaiu como característica do modelo estudado, estruturação da universidade, tendo o campus como núcleo operacional da organização, diferente do modelo tradicional, estruturado em unidades acadêmicas. No aspecto da complexidade organizacional do modelo multicampi analisado pelo número de campus, a UNIPAMPA está entre as mais complexas do País, composta por 10 campi, enquanto a média das universidades federais é de até 05 campi. A dispersão espacial é característica presente, com distâncias significativas entre os campi e a reitoria (142 até 448 km). A diferenciação vertical da estrutura através da hierarquia universitária indicou composição da cúpula pelos cargos: reitor, vice-reitor, pró-reitores e diretores de campi, e coordenadores acadêmicos e administrativos de campus. Quanto à diferenciação horizontal da estrutura, existe normatização para todos os campi da UNIPAMPA. Os mecanismos de integração atuantes para conformar o caráter orgânico do modelo multicampi mostraram-se frágeis. A descentralização do poder nos órgãos de deliberação superior caracterizou-se pela representatividade dos campi universitários, não de unidades acadêmicas, conforme modelos tradicionais. Constatou-se que existem dimensões organizacionais do modelo multicampi que o distinguem de modelos tradicionais, que ainda trás características de modelos estruturados conforme indicações da reforma universitária de 1968, indício da necessidade de mais estudos do modelo predominante e pouco explorado nos estudos sobre administração universitária brasileira.

The thesis compares internal communication and organizational structure of arts organizations with general theoretical knowledge from economy theory. In the first part, the thesis presents an enquiry in the field of internal communication and structure of organizations and puts it into the context on a theoretical level. It concerns outlined historical development and types of organizational structures and communication flows. The second part addresses the application of theoretical knowledge in the area of culture. Furthermore, it analyses two particular arts organizations, inquiring especially into the nature of internal communication flows and development of organizational structure. Subsequently, it confronts the results with theoretical basis presented in the first chapter. Apart from other conclusions, it reveals several flaws and suggests possible solutions for necessary corrections.

The purpose of this study was to clarify and document the member perspective of leadership networks in terms of how members’ attitudes toward, and underlying reasons for participating in, leadership networks can be explained. This purpose was fulfilled by asking and answering the questions of how member attitudes toward, and underlying reasons for participating in, leadership networks can be explained. The study was conducted via a pre-research study of one network organization as well as interviews with two other network organizations. In total, the study investigated three network organizations, including 19 respondents, 13 for the survey and six for the interviews. It was concluded in both the pre-research as well as the main research, that expectations from the members’ perspective had a tendency toward organizational outcomes in the pre-consumption phase, and that the expectations on the network were mainly focused on individual outcomes in the post-consumption phase. The study also demonstrates that there are factors outside of the study’s analytical framework, such as the network position, the ego network structure and the whole network structure, that affect the network outcomes, and thus potentially the explanation for the members’ attitudes toward, and underlying reasons for participating in, leadership networks.

The thesis is created in order to conduct a comparative analysis of organizational structure of the company. The parameters for comparison are determined. The first one is the comparative analysis of the Amoeba Management System with a Divisional Structure. The second one is the comparative analysis of Fractal and Matrix Organizational Structure. The conslusions of these analyzes determine the key parameters for management on the basis of the suggested organizational structure for effective management.
