Web page / El presente proyecto, al cual denominamos “Match Job”, nace a partir de la problemática que se da en la búsqueda de oportunidades laborales. En este caso, identificamos que estos problemas se desarrollan en las etapas de procesos de selección, en donde no existe comunicación oportuna por parte de las empresas reclutadoras y los portales de empleo. Para el desarrollo de este proyecto, nos enfocamos a jóvenes estudiantes los cuales buscan oportunidades de trabajo a partir de sus últimos ciclos, los cuales desean informarse y adaptarse a un mercado tan competitivo como el de hoy en día. Para proceder con el avance efectivo de este proyecto académico, realizamos diversos experimentos para identificar y validar la problemática relacionada a la búsqueda de empleo en estudiantes y la insatisfacción de estos al momento de participar en un proceso de selección. Asimismo, creamos un prototipo de página web (prototipo de alta fidelidad) y redes sociales para solucionar dicho problema, creando contenido audiovisual de valor y campañas pagadas para generar tráfico y clientes potenciales. / This project, which we call "Match Job", was born from the problems that arise in the search for job opportunities. In this case, we identify that these problems develop in the selection process stages, where there is no timely communication from recruitment companies and job portals. For the development of this project, we focus on young students who are looking for job opportunities from their last cycles, who want to learn and adapt to a market as competitive as today. To proceed with the effective advancement of this academic project, we carried out various experiments to identify and validate the problems related to the search for employment in students and their dissatisfaction at the time of participating in a selection process. Likewise, we created a website prototype (high fidelity prototype) and social networks to solve this problem, creating valuable audiovisual content and paid campaigns to generate traffic and potential customers. / Trabajo de investigación

Many multinational corporations find themselves frequently in the dichotomous question of whether to make or buy a given component; but when those companies are operating with a global purchasing strategy, oriented to high levels of centralization and dealing simultaneously with the implications of purchasing and producing the same item, the approach to take the decision becomes difficult to find, even with the current literature and practitioners knowledge This master thesis addresses in a comprehensive proposal the way to undertake this kind of make-or-buy decisions. Through the literature review done, regarding global purchasing strategy, purchasing models, supplier selection methods and make-or-buy frameworks; it was found a convenient model to merge those concepts with the empirical experiences of a single case study in the Italcementi Group, one of the largest Cement producers in the world. The model proposed considers both strategic and economic elements and is designed as an iterative algorithm that evaluates several alternatives in order to arrive to the best make-or-buy approach. The methodologies selected and combined to solve the problem are mostly quantitative, but keeping the importance of qualitative elements within the analysis. The outcome of the thesis is a contribution to academicians and practitioners aiming to turn the existing knowledge about make-or-buy decisions into practical solutions for business management.

This thesis investigates the database model selection process in VSEs, looking into how priorities and needs differ compared to what is proposed by existing theory in the area.  The study was conducted as a case study of a two-person company engaged in developing various applications and performing consulting tasks. Data was collected through two semi-structured interviews. The first interview aimed to understand the company's process for selecting a database model, while the second interview focused on obtaining their perspective on any differences in their selection process compared to the theoretical recommendations and suggested methodology. The purpose was to investigate the important factors involved in the process and explore why and how they deviated from what the theory proposes. The study concludes that VSEs have different priorities compared to larger enterprises. Factors like transaction amount does not have to be considered much at the scale of a VSE. It is more important to look into the total cost of the database solution, including making sure that the selected technology is sufficiently efficient to use in development and relatively easy to maintain. Regarding selection methodology it was concluded that the time investment required to decide what is the best available database solution can be better spent elsewhere in the enterprise, and finding a good enough solution to get the wheels of the ground is likely a more profitable aim.

The purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of what factors influence the choice of the selection process in government-funded business incubators. The study was conducted as an abductive multiple case-study of selection processes in Swedish government-funded business incubators. Our findings are summarized in a framework illustrating that owners and financiers stipulate important pre-conditions for the opportunities business incubators have in designing and implementing a certain selection process through their impact on the incubator goal and target group, and subsequently the choice of criteria. The regional context (local economics, level of entrepreneurial activity, collaborations and brand awareness) also stipulate a precondition for the incubator’s choice of the selection process by affecting the inflow of business ideas and therefore the pool of potential candidates available to the incubator. The amount and quality of the inflow mainly reflects in the rigorousness or flexibility in the application criteria. The design of the process, and thus the practices included, is highly influenced by the orientation of managers and operative staff in the incubator, conditioned upon available resources (organizational capabilities and constraints), and influenced by best practices, investor objectives, and macro trends. The study provides implications for research on selection processes in business incubators by highlighting that prior research has had a limited perspective of selection by primarily focusing on criteria and the flexibility and rigorousness in applying these, thus disregarding other practices and prevailing selection as an event rather than a process. Furthermore, we pinpoint several factors affecting the choice of the selection process, not previously discussed in the research literature. The emerging framework may also be used by stakeholders in order to understand how different factors impact the selection process and identify areas that are weak and need to be improved. / Syftet med denna studie är att förbättra förståelsen för vilka faktorer som påverkar valet av urvalsprocess i offentligt finansierade företagsinkubatorer. Studien har en abduktiv ansats och genomfördes som en multipel fallstudie av urvalsprocesser i svenska företagsinkubatorer. Resultaten från studien presenteras i ett teoretiskt ramverk som betonar att ägare och finansiärer utgör viktiga förutsättningar för inkubatorns möjligheter att utforma processen genom deras inverkan på mål och målgrupp. Mål och målgrupp återspeglas främst i valet av kriterier, men kan ha en indirekt påverkan även på det sätt som inkubatorerna arbetar för att uppfylla målen. Den regionala kontexten utgör också en viktig förutsättning för inkubatorers möjligheter genom dess påverkan på inflödet av affärsidéer och därmed poolen av potentiella kandidater som är tillgängliga för inkubatorn. Mängden och kvaliteten på inflödet påverkar i huvudsak huruvida tillämpningen av kriterier är rigorös eller flexibel. Utformningen av processen påverkas i stor utsträckning av den operativa personalens erfarenheter och gemensamma organisatoriska lärande i inkubatorn. Sådant inflytande kan dock till viss del vara begränsat av de resurser i form av medel, tid och personal som finns i inkubatorn. Vi finner även att rådande trender inom jämställdhet och hållbarhet, samt best practices och investerar-objektiv har inflytande på hur inkubatorer väljer att utforma urvalsprocessen. Studien bidrar till forskningen om urvalsprocesser i företagsinkubatorer genom att belysa att tidigare forskning har haft ett begränsat perspektiv på urval genom att enbart fokusera på kriterier samt flexibilitet och rigiditet vid tillämpningen av dessa och därmed bortse från övriga selektionspraxis. För att kunna förstå och förbättra urvalsprocessen bör ett bredare perspektiv på urval inkorporeras i forskningslitteraturen, där urval förstås som en process snarare än ett isolerat skeende. Vidare identifierar vi flera faktorer som påverkar valet av urvalsprocessen, men som inte tidigare diskuterats i forskningslitteraturen. Vårt ramverk kan också stödja olika intressenter att identifiera styrkor och svagheter i det ekosystem de verkar inom såväl som deras egen inverkan på urvalsprocessen.

[pt] Lutas identitárias ganharam relevância nos últimos anos no Brasil e no mundo, o que vem motivando as corporações a responderem, de diversas formas, a esta demanda social. Dentre as respostas mais relevantes, contar com maior diversidade em sua força de trabalho passa a ser uma preocupação crescente das empresas, o que vem obrigando-as a repensarem seus processos seletivos para atrair e contratar, cada vez mais, indivíduos identificados como integrantes de grupos minoritários. A presente dissertação buscou entender como as práticas de recrutamento e seleção de empresas atentas a esta demanda vêm sendo estruturadas e conduzidas. Para alcançar este objetivo optou-se pela realização de estudos de casos múltiplos. Foram realizadas entrevistas com lideranças de empresas que possuem práticas de diversidade e inclusão maduras. Adicionalmente, foram analisados documentos internos, peças de divulgação de vagas em redes sociais, matérias na imprensa entre outros materiais produzidos pelas empresas. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que os eixos de diversidade mais explorados pelas empresas são os de gênero, raça, pessoas com deficiência e grupo LGBTQIA+. A ações afirmativas nos processos seletivos são focadas para as posições de entrada com estágio e trainee. Educação da liderança e patrocínio da alta gestão são cruciais para o avanço do tema. Finalmente, identificou-se que para a perenidade do progresso em direção à maior diversidade da força de trabalho são fundamentais atualizações na legislação e ações práticas para aumentar a confiança dos públicos em relação a autodeclaração de pertencimento aos grupos minoritários. / [en] Identity struggles have been gaining relevance in recent years in Brazil and worldwide, which has motivated corporations to respond, in various ways, to this social demand. Among the most relevant responses, having more diversity in their workforce becomes a growing concern for companies, which has forced them to rethink their selection processes in order to attract and hire more and more individuals identified as members of groups. monitored. This dissertation sought to understand how the recruitment and selection practices of companies attentive to this demand have been structured and conducted. To achieve this goal, multiple case studies were chosen. Interviews were conducted with leaders of companies that have mature diversity and inclusion practices. In addition, internal documents, disclosure of vacancies on social networks, articles in the press and other materials produced by the companies were analyzed. The survey results indicate that the diversity axes most explored by companies are those of gender, race, people with disabilities and the LGBTQIA + group. Affirmative actions in the selection processes are focused on the positions of entry with internship and trainee. Leadership education and sponsorship from top management are crucial for advancing the theme. Finally, it was identified that for the continuity of progress towards greater diversity of the workforce, updates to legislation and practical actions are essential to increase public confidence in the self-declaration of belonging to the monitored groups.

Children experience life crisis and normal developmental problems. This study is aimed at highlighting the role fiction can play in assisting children in coping with certain normal life crisis and developmental problems. A discussion on the nature of the bibliotherapeutic process indicated that fiction plays a major role in the success thereof. A model was designed for the selection process of fiction for the bibliotherapeutic process. Selection criteria were established for both the reader and the reading matter. Tables were designed consisting of selection criteria for both the reader and the reading matter. Stories about life crisis relating to death and divorce, as well as normal developmental problems about fear of peer group rejection and fear of the acquirement of skills, were evaluated against these criteria. This indicates that it is possible to select the right book for the bibliotherapeutic process with children. / Information Science / M.Inf.

Human factor creates the greatest risk when working with people. Above all, to give a good example for future generations, it is necessary to select preschool teachers carefully. However, the role teachers play is not only to present a good example for children but to be also a colleague and team worker. Pre-school teachers are required to possess professional and personality competences. Therefore the process of recruitment and selection of teaching staff (followed by their adaptation in preschools) is one of the most important and difficult things in personnel management. Key staff, mangers and personnel officers are in charge of this process. It is highly important to be able to identify, evaluate and eliminate possible risks in the course of all recruitment process. To eliminate such risks is fundamental not only for key staff in education system. The aim of the paper is to define particular measures of prevention arising form identification and evaluation of possible risks during recruitment and selection of teaching staff school education, taking into account their future incorporation into the process of education. This papers reviews ways, procedures and experience of key staff in pre-schools creating background for successful recruitment and selection of useful team members. KEY WORDS:...

[pt] O presente estudo tem como objetivo primeiro examinar, segundo a teoria dos polissistemas de Itamar Even-Zohar e a abordagem descritivista da tradução de André Lefevere e Gideon Toury, a literatura brasileira traduzida para o inglês a partir de 1990. O estudo se fundamentará em uma análise do perfil das obras em tradução nos últimos quatorze anos, a qual, por sua vez, servirá de base para um exame das forças que determinaram a seleção, a tradução e a circulação de obras brasileiras nos polissistemas de língua inglesa. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo abordará também aspectos do mercado editorial atual, seu crescimento, sua profissionalização e o fortalecimento do papel do agente literário no fomento da tradução de obras brasileiras. Em um segundo momento, este estudo se dedicará à analise da trajetória de obras de Caio Fernando Abreu, Chico Buarque e Patrícia Melo nos polissistemas de língua inglesa, particularmente nos Estados Unidos e na Inglaterra. A partir das análises propostas, a conclusão abordará aspectos relacionados à recepção das obras brasileiras, tanto no nível mercadológico como no nível acadêmico, e à representação de identidades culturais brasileiras, especialmente no que diz respeito ao ambiente urbano, cenário da literatura desses três autores. / [en] The main purpose of this study is to examine Brazilian literature translated into English as of 1990, based on Itamar Even-Zohar`s Polysystem Theory and on the descriptive approach to translation of Andre Lefevere and Gideon Toury. The study will analyze the characteristics of works translated during the last fourteen years and will serve as a basis to examine the determining forces in the selection, translation and circulation of Brazilian literary works in English- language polysystems. Hence, the present study will also examine aspects of the current publishing industry, its professionalization, and the growing role of the literary agent in promoting translation of Brazilian works. Secondly, this study will analyze the trajectory of works by authors such as Caio Fernando Abreu, Chico Buarque and Patricia Melo in English polysystems, particularly in the United States and Great Britain. Based on the proposed analyses, the conclusion of the study will discuss aspects related to how Brazilian works are received (both in the market and in academia) and how Brazilian cultural identities are represented, especially with regard to the urban environment, which is the main setting in the literary works of the three above-cited authors.
