Quando a crise da dívida explicita as falhas do modelo adotado e o fechamento das linhas internacionais de crédito interrompe o ciclo de financiamento brasileiro, as reformas estruturais são propostas como forma de fomentar o crescimento e, ao mesmo tempo, reduzir as desigualdades. Neste contexto justifica-se o trabalho proposto: retomar a discussão sobre o desenvolvimento, partindo de indicadores estruturados. Desagregando o conceito da renda per capita em indicadores de eficiência econômica, mobilização formal de mão-de-obra e população potencialmente capaz de gerar riqueza, de forma a avaliar como a nova dinâmica da economia repercutiu sobre as desigualdades regionais e analisar o comportamento da produtividade. / The development in Brazil, occurred of more intense form in the decades of 1950-70, has as foundations the economic growth, the infrastructure and the diversification of the productive base, in detriment of a more equity society, as much in individual terms, how much regional. When the crisis of the debt showed the imperfections of the adopted model and the closing of the international lines of credit interrupted the cycle of Brazilian financing, the structural reforms were proposed as form to foment the growth and, at the same time, to reduce the inaqualities. In this context, the considered work is justified: to retake the quarrel on development, leaving of structuralized pointers. We disaggregate the concept of the per capita income in pointers of economy efficiency, formal mobilization of the man power and population potentially capable to generate wealth, to evaluate as the new dynamics of the economy reed-echo on the regional inaqualities and to analyze the behavior of the productivity.

Thesis (Mtech(Business Administration)--Cape Technikon, Cape Town, 2001 / The researcher identified an absenteeism problem at the Cape Technikon Library and sees the effect of it on a daily basis. It is a costly and disruptive problem and places unnecessary pressure on staff that are at work. From the outset, companies might not realise the cost of absenteeism until they actually measure it. Absenteeism of other staff members create various problems such as low morale, increased stress, break in team work, etc. between the staff that are at work. To reduce the absenteeism rate, certain measures and control systems should be put in place. Absenteeism can either be addressed by putting a reward system in place or making use of punishment contingencies, or using a combination of both. If staff members see that other staff members get away with excessive absenteeism, they will soon follow. Within the context of the Cape Technikon Library, a culture of absenteeism has been created and it is not easy to break that culture. This study considered possible reasons for the absenteeism as well as possible solutions. To improve productivity and cost-effectiveness, the Gross Absence Rate (GAR) should be less than 3% (Van der Merwe: 1988:25). According to Van der Merwe (1988:25) an absence rate of 10% is extremely serious and any absence rate of more than 5% should be regarded as an indicator of a situation needing further investigation. An absence rate of less than 3% can be regarded as satisfactory, although capable of furtherimprovement. On some days the absenteeism rate at the Cape Technikon Library is approximately 12%.

Thesis (DTech (Marketing))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2009. / Many South African businesses experience a lack of competitiveness against a background of increasing globalised competition. One of the reasons for the lack of competitiveness in South African businesses is as a result of a lack of innovation. In response, many scholars have concluded that design can contribute to the competitiveness of a company. Distinguished and refereed business journals have published articles that claim design can have value. One of the causes of the lack of innovation could be that managers do not use design as widely as it might be. Some say that it is mainly as a result of a poor understanding of the benefits of design. This prompted the research question: How can the competitiveness of businesses be improved through the application of product design as a knowledge creation management tool? This question was investigated by a combination of a literature survey, construction of a conceptual model, a questionnaire survey, a focus group discussion and a curriculum content analysis. Through a literature study evidence was presented that design could contribute to innovation, which could add a competitive edge and could lead to commercial success, provided it is managed properly. Unfortunately, managers do not use design as widely as it might be as a result of a poor understanding of the contribution of design. This raises the question, how can the understanding of design be improved? An alternative to the traditional views was presented whereby product design can be used as a knowledge creation management tool. In this regard, a framework was proposed, which indicated product design as both a user and a producer of knowledge. This framework could assist managers to acquire a sufficient understanding of design. The next step is to ask what managers should understand about design in order to use it as a knowledge creation management tool. A questionnaire survey managed to distinguish, in a statistically significant manner, between certain items that were indicated by the respondents as important for managers to understand and other items that the respondents felt were unimportant. In general, the items that were design specific, such as conceptualisation and the psychology of creativity, were indicated as unimportant and the items close to managing a business, such as the writing of a creative brief and the risk factors, were indicated as important for managers to know. Two focus group discussions agreed in the main with the results of the questionnaire survey, but with one exception. One group felt that managers should have a basic understanding of the whole design process. Another aspect of importance was that the manager should trust the designer. The groups also suggested a number of topics that should be included in a curriculum on a basic understanding of product design for management students.

abstract: ABSTRACT Recent studies indicate that top-performing companies have higher-performing work environments than average companies. They receive higher scores for worker satisfaction with their overall physical work environment as well as higher effectiveness ratings for their workspaces (Gensler, 2008; Harter et al., 2003). While these studies indicate a relationship between effective office design and satisfaction they have not explored which specific space types may contribute to workers' overall satisfaction with their physical work environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between workers' overall satisfaction with their physical work environments and their perception of the effectiveness of spaces designed for Conceptual Age work including learning, focusing, collaborating, and socializing tasks. This research is designed to identify which workspace types are related to workers' satisfaction with their overall work environment and which are perceived to be most and least effective. To accomplish this two primary and four secondary research questions were developed for this study. The first primary question considers overall workers' satisfaction with their overall physical work environments (offices, workstations, hallways, common areas, reception, waiting areas, etc.) related to the effective use of work mode workspaces (learning, focusing, collaborating, socializing). The second primary research question was developed to identify which of the four work mode space types had the greatest and least relationship to workers' satisfaction with the overall physical work environment. Secondary research questions were developed to address workers' perceptions of effectiveness of each space type. This research project used data from a previous study collected from 2007 to 2012. Responses were from all staff levels of US office-based office workers and resulted in a blind sample of approximately 48,000 respondents. The data for this study were developed from SPSS data reports that included descriptive data and Pearson correlations. Findings were developed from those statistics using coefficient of determination. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Design 2013

O objetivo do projeto, patrocinado pelo CNPq/ PIBIC, era realizar um amplo levantamento de dados sobre o DOCTV. Tais dados foram a base para a pesquisa aqui apresentada. O estudo do DOCTV surge na curiosidade em se entender o funcionamento de um programa com patrocínio do Estado e das TVS Públicas. Nos últimos anos, notamos um maior destaque à produção de documentário no Brasil e também uma maior recepção à produção internacional. Há uma grande movimentação em torno dos festivais especializados, em especial o "É Tudo Verdade". Os motivos desse respaldo são diversos, como a maior utilização de notícias conhecidas pela mídia como temas documentais e a ampliação do docudrama, que com uma linguagem carregada de artifícios documentais ficcionaliza uma história. Diante desse contexto promissor da linguagem documental, surge o DOCTV. Os filmes produzidos nas três primeiras edições do Programa pouco apresentam de inovação. Entretanto, o DOCTV renova a forma de produção de documentários através de sua complexa estrutura de trabalho. Seu mérito reside na articulação que é gerada em seu redor: articulação de um sistema de teledifusão, de distribuição, de comercialização. Essas e outras ações fazem parte de um grande sistema único criado para viabilização desse Programa / Abstract: This Master's Research begins with the Undergraduate Research entitled "Produção Documentária Estatal no DOCTV: levantamento de dados e formação de acervo", developed from 2006 to 2007, under the supervision of Professor Fernão Ramos. That research, sponsored by CNPq/PIBIC, intended to develop a wide data gathering about DOCTV. This data collection now serves as a source to the research presented here. The reflection about DOCTV emerges from the curiosity of understanding how a program, sponsored by the Government and Public TV companies, works. We have noticed a higher emphasis to the Brazilian documentary production and also a higher acceptation of international production in the past few years. Innumerous possibilities aroused with specialized festivals, such as "It's All True". The reasons are multiple, such the higher utilization of veridical news as documentary themes and the expansion of "docudrama", that makes use of a documentary-based language to fictionalize a story. DOCTV arises from the promising context of documental language. While the screenplays produced during the first three editions of the Program do not innovate much, DOCTV renews the film-making industry through its complex work structure. The Program's merit resides in the articulatory movement built all around it: the articulation of broadcasting, distribution and commercialization systems. These and other actions take part on a wide and unique system developed to turn DOCTV into reality / Mestrado / Mestre em Multimeios

A espÃcie Tagetes erecta Linn, vulgarmente conhecida como Tagetes, à nativa do MÃxico. Suas flores sÃo cultivadas, colhidas e processadas numa importante escala industrial como fonte de alto valor de corante, da famÃlia dos carotenÃides. A forma de utilizaÃÃo do Tagetes à como pÃtalas desidratadas e concentrados, que sÃo usados como aditivos na alimentaÃÃo para melhoria da pigmentaÃÃo de pele e ovos de galinhas. Conduziu-se um experimento na Chapada do Apodi (CE), nos meses de junho, julho, agosto, setembro, outubro e novembro de 2003. O delineamento utilizado foi o de blocos ao acaso em esquema fatorial (6x5x4), sendo seis Ãpocas, cinco tipos (trÃs hÃbridos e duas variedades) de Tagetes com quatro espaÃamentos de plantio (0,10 m; 0,15 m; 0,20 m e 0,25 m) nas seguintes densidades de (200.000; 133.333; 100.000; 80.000), respectivamente, com trÃs repetiÃÃes por tratamento. A variedade V1 (hÃbrido F150011) foi em mÃdia a mais produtiva, com 25,47 t/ha. Em todas as Ãpocas de plantio, o hÃbrido F150011 foi o que mostrou o maior nÃmero de flores por hectare e seguidas das variedades V4 (A5893 P) e V5 (A0861P) com o nÃmero de flores por hectare de (0,48 milhÃes de flores/ha e 0,53 milhÃes de flores/ha). A maior altura foi encontrada na variedade V2(F1 80447) com mÃdia de 88,92 cm. O hÃbrido F1 50011 obteve o maior diÃmetro mÃdio de flor (7,06 cm). Diante disso, constatou-se que, quanto menor o nÃmero de flores, maior o seu peso individual, com conseqÃente maior produÃÃo de pÃtalas por flor. O hÃbrido F1 50011 foi superior sobre as demais com o maior nÃmero de flores/ha em todas as densidades de plantio estudadas. Verificou-se que na 5 e 6 Ãpoca de plantio (perÃodo chuvoso) os espaÃamentos 20cm e 25cm entre plantas, mostraram-se mais adequado para o hÃbrido F150011 (20,22 t/ha e 19,78 t/ha) e no perÃodo seco ( 1Â, 2 e 3 Ãpocas) as maiores produÃÃes de flores, para a mesma variedade, foram obtidas nas densidades maiores (200.000 e 133.333 plantas/ha) nos espaÃamentos 10 e 15 cm. Este trabalho objetivou avaliar, nas condiÃÃes climÃticas do semi-Ãrido nordestino, diferentes variedades hÃbridas e de polinizaÃÃo aberta de Tagetes, em diferentes densidades e Ãpocas de plantio, para obtenÃÃo de maior produtividade de flores. / The specie Tagetes erecta, commonly known as marigold, it is native of Mexico. The flowers are cultivated, picked and processed in an important one scale industrial as source of high color value, of the family of the caroteno ids. The form of use of the marigold is as dehydrated petals and concentrated, that are used as addictive in the feeding for improvement of the skin pigmentation and eggs of poultry. An experiment field conditions was carried out from June to November 2003, in the Plated of Apodi, Limoeiro do Norte, CearÃ, Brazil. The treatments consisted of three hybrid varieties and two varieties of open pollination, constituting the plots, in four planting densities (0,10m; 0.15; 0,20m and 0,25m) x 0,50m, constituted the split-plot and evaluated in si x planting, with three repetitions. The variety V1 (hybrid F150011) it was on average the most productive, with 25,47 t /ha. In all of the planting period, the variety F1 50011 presented the largest number of flowers for hectare and the variedades V4 (A5893 P) and V5 (A0861P) presented the smallest number of flowers for hectare (0,48 million flowers /ha and 0,53 million flowers /ha, respectively). To cultivate V2 (F1 80447) he/she obtained the largest height, with average of 88,92cm. The variedade F1 50011 showed to smallest plant height, although the plant height doesn't have influences on the total weight of flowers This same variety also presented the largest diameter medium of flower (70,66mm). Concluded that as smaller the number of flowers, larger it individual weight, with larger consequent production of petals for flower. The variety F1 50011 presented the largest number of flowers /ha in all of the planting densities studied, where in the planting densities (200.000 and 133.333 plants /ha), were almost obtained 2,0 million flowers. It was verified that in the 5a. and 6a. planting (rainy period) the 20cm and 25cm spacing among plants, best for the variety F1 50011 (20,22 t /ha and 19,78 t /ha, respectively) and in the dry (1st, 2nd and 3rd) period, the larg est productions of flowers, were obtained in the smaller densities (200.000 e 133.333 plants/ha).

A maior integração entre os mercados traz novos desafios às empresas que se arriscam no comércio internacional. Para competir no mercado global, as firmas nacionais precisam atingir patamares de produtividade compatíveis com as suas concorrentes estrangeiras. Além disso, existem sunk-costs que precisam ser pagos pelas firmas estreantes no mercado externo. Assim, uma empresa que deseja exportar precisa (1) atingir níveis de produtividade competitivos e (2) ter fluxo de caixa ou condições de tomar crédito para pagar os sunk-costs. A pesquisa se propõe justamente a analisar os efeitos do acesso ao comércio internacional sobre as firmas industriais brasileiras. Observaremos quais os impactos da exportação sobre a produtividade e da restrição de crédito das empresas sobre a exportação. Três artigos serão elaborados. No primeiro, estudaremos o número de destinos atendidos pelas firmas brasileiras nas suas vendas ao exterior. Queremos analisar as diferenças entre as empresas que exportam para muitos países das empresas que exportam para poucos. Também, queremos saber quais mercados as firmas priorizam e se há uma ordem de entrada nos países. No segundo artigo, avaliaremos os ganhos de produtividade ex-ante e ex-post que são obtidos pelas empresas que exportam para quatro blocos econômicos: o Mercosul, o Nafta, a Comunidade Européia e o Leste Asiático. Procuraremos detectar qual bloco oferece maior efeito aprendizado (ex-post) e qual bloco favorece nossas empresas mais produtivas (ex-ante). A análise é relevante diante da atual discussão acerca de qual estratégia de integração é mais vantajosa para o Brasil. Por fim, no terceiro artigo, trataremos da relação entre restrição de crédito e a decisão de exportar. Procuraremos testar uma direção de causalidade entre os dois: se firmas com menor restrição financeira são mais propensas a exportar, ou se firmas exportadoras tem a sua restrição de crédito reduzida. O estudo objetiva colaborar com políticas de crédito a empresas exportadoras. Nos três ensaios, confrontaremos os resultados obtidos no Brasil com o que foi observado por trabalhos feitos em outros países, procuraremos justificativas para as diferenças e, se possível, proporemos temas para pesquisas futuras. / International trade brings new challenges to companies that start to export. To compete in global markets, national firms need to reach levels of productivity similar to those of foreign competitors. Moreover, there are sunk costs which have to be paid by entrant firms in foreign markets. Hence, a company that wants to export has to: (1) reach competitive levels of productivity, and (2) have internal funds or access to credit to pay the sunk costs. This research aims at analyzing the impact of international trade on Brazilian manufacturing companies. We observe the effects of export on productivity and the relation between exports and credit constraints. Three essays will be presented. In the first one, we study the number of destinations attended by Brazilian companies when they sell abroad. We want to analyze the differences between companies that export to many countries, and companies that attend a few ones. Also, we want to know which markets Brazilian firms prioritize and if there is an order of entry in international markets. In the second essay, we evaluate ex-ante and ex-post productivity gains which are obtained by companies that export to four economic blocs: the Mercosur, the Nafta, the European Community and the East Asia. We want to discover which bloc offers the higher learning-effect (ex-post) and which bloc favors the most productive firms (ex-ante). In the third essay, we treat the relation between credit constraints and the decision to export. We test a direction of causality between the two: if companies with less credit constraints have more chances to export or if exporting firms have less credit constraints than domestic firms and novice exporters.
