The main research problem consists of determining if the glocal does, in fact, require theoretical reformulations of the concept of internal communication. The proposition of this problem involves the basic hypothesis that internal communication really does require a new understanding. The corpus of analysis consists of the set of policies, processes and internal communication channels of the companies Odebrecht S.A., Petrobras and General Motors do Brasil. The fundaments of this research are discussed using these companies for purposes of exemplification, as set forth in the problem, the objectives, and the hypotheses formulated. The theoretical frame of reference is based on studies about the social, cultural and economic processes typical of cyberculture (taken as a category of this era), of the glocal phenomenon, and of internal communication as an institucionalized practice of formal relations between capital and labor. Based on these i'ssues, the following elements are analyzed: (1) the emergence of cyberculture as a new structu're of the social, governed by the subject's adhesion to the technique and technology for the mediation of sociability; (2) the phenomenology of the glocal; and (3) the historical development of internal communication as a segment of Public Relations and of Administration and its function in the management and motivation of the work force. I Given the sociocultural conditions of the times, the relevance of this research lies in the pressing need to rethink the concept of internal communication in business organizations and the consequent possibility of updating this concept in light of the emerging historical and worldwide process of glocalization / A presente pesquisa discute as consequências teóricas e empíricas do fenômeno glocal - hibridismo entre local e global que totaliza a condição contemporânea de desterritorialização e reterritorialização das relações humanas no e pelo ciberespaço - para o conceito de comunicação interna em organizações empresariais brasileiras, no contexto da cibercultura. O principal problema de pesquisa consiste em saber se o glocal está exigindo, de fato, reformulações teóricas no conceito de comunicação interna. A proposição desse problema envolve a hipótese básica de a comunicação interna nas empresas estar requerendo, realmente, um novo entendimento. O corpus de análise é constituído pelo conjunto de políticas, processos e canais de comunicação interna das empresas Odebrecht S.A., Petrobras e General Motors do Brasil, em relação às quais serão discutidos os fundamentos da pesquisa, a título de exemplificação, conforme explicitado no problema, nos objetivos e nas hipóteses formulados. O quadro teórico de referência se nutre de estudos sobre os processos sociais, culturais e econômicos típicos da cibercultura (tomada como categoria de época), do fenômeno glocal e da comunicação interna como prática institucionalizada de relações formais entre capital e trabalho. Com base nesses eixos, são analisados os seguintes elementos: (1) o surgimento da cibercultura como nova estrutura do social regida pela adesão do sujeito à técnica e à tecnologia para a mediação da sociabilidade; (2) a fenomenologia do glocal e (3) o desenvolvimento histórico da comunicação interna como segmento das Relações Públicas e da Administração e sua função na gestão e motivação da força de trabalho. Dadas as condições socioculturais de época, a relevância desta pesquisa reside na necessidade premente de se repensar o conceito de comunicação interna nas organizações empresariais e na consequente possibilidade de se atualizar tal conceito à luz do processo de glocalização histórica e mundialmente emergente

In order to better understand this approach, we will focus on the employment of discipline on the workers everyday life as a control and surveillance device. Along this work, we will also use the thoughts of other authors, especially from other areas and, specifically from Business Administration, to demonstrate that discipline in business organizations is used by means of hierarchy to maximize efficiency (and consequently production), to optimize time and minimize costs, besides the social control, working mainly as a regulation of punishing practices / O presente trabalho procura abordar e estabelecer certa conexão entre as investigações de Michel Foucault, sobre a questão do poder e suas relações de força na sociedade disciplinar, e as práticas de gestão administrativas utilizadas nas organizações empresariais. Com o intuito de melhor compreendermos esta abordagem, focaremos o emprego da disciplina no cotidiano dos trabalhadores, como dispositivo de controle e de vigilância. Ao longo deste trabalho, utilizaremos também do pensamento de outros autores, especialmente, de outras áreas e, em particular, da área da Administração, para demonstrar que a disciplina nas organizações empresariais é utilizada, por meio das hierarquias, para a maximização da eficiência (e conseqüentemente da produção), para a otimização de tempo e minimização de custos, além do controle social, mas, funcionando, principalmente, como regulamentação das práticas punitivas

There exist major disparities in issues concerning health, education, the environment, and other problems that affect overall well-being. Currently, government and nonprofit institutions do not sufficiently mitigate these problems. This thesis examines traditional corporate structures that uphold the profit-maximization dilemma and analyzes emerging corporate structures that encourage greater social enterprise. The alternative corporate structures provide greater flexibility for mission-driven companies. Such structures encourage─and legally require─increased awareness and investment in social and environmental enterprise. Executives must decide, to what extent, they will utilize the power and influence of business to do good works.

This affected the economy in two ways: first the state initiated a wave of privatization in the wake of the fiscal crisis under President Collor. Second, the economy started opening up to international competition through the enactment of certain trade reforms. However, the economy still displays erratic levels of protectionism. The literature on rent seeking argues that organized interest groups devote resources to capture and try to influence and neutralize the liberalization of the economy, which would endanger the rents they benefit from under existing rules. After decades of state nurturing under the ISI model, the business sector in Brazil was crucial to shaping the path for a new growth model. However, their role in promoting trade openness was far more nuanced. The present work looks at business groups in Brazil since the second half of the twentieth century and the role they played before and during the transition and how their opposition to trade reforms suggests potential rentseeking behaviors. The transition to democracy witnessed the emergence of new business organizations with independent actions that I will account for in this paper. Business organizations were not united at the time of economic reforms and thus reacted differently according to the interests of their members. Institutional factors, amongst which the rise of a new civil society, as well as conjectural factors further constrained the path of economic reforms. / O Brasil sofreu uma parcial mudança, do desenvolvimento estatal à economia de mercado, em seguimento à sua transição à democracia. A economia abriu-se para o comércio internacional, mas ainda hoje apresenta níveis erráticos de protecionismo. O fenômeno da rent-seeking (“busca de renda”) destaca a tentativa de grupos organizados em captar recursos estatais para atividades improdutivas. Como consequência direta, este fenômeno dificulta a realização de reformas comerciais, como grupos de pressão organizados (lobbies), com o fim de proteger os seus próprios interesses. Depois de décadas de modelo de industrialização via substituição de importações (ISI model) incentivado pelo Estado, o setor de negócios no Brasil demonstrou-se crucial para moldar o caminho em direção a reformas econômicas. O presente trabalho analisa o papel desenvolvido pelos grupos empresariais, antes e durante esta transição, e examina como a sua oposição a abertura econômica sugere provável busca de renda. Este trabalho argumenta que as limitações da estrutura corporativa combinadas com o surgimento de novos grupos de pressão, concorrentes entre si, fragmentou a intermediação de interesses. Paradoxalmente, essa fragmentação de interesses e fraqueza coletiva de grupos de pressões limitou os obstáculos as reformas econômicas. O surgimento de uma nova sociedade civil e os fatores institucionais do regime democrático são outros fatores quem dificultaram a criação de reformas econômicas.

This study analyses the possible impact of the European Union (EU) on the development of the relations between business interest groups and the government in Turkey, more precisely on the interventions of the business interest groups in domestic policy-making. Hence it deals with the links between the progress of the relationship between Turkey and the EU and the development of domestic interest group activity in Turkey. <p><p>The progress of Turkey’s relations with the EU enhanced the visibility of the Turkish Peak Business Organizations (PBOs) in representing Turkish business interests in Brussels. Moreover, the evolution of the activities of the PBOs, provides a broader understanding of the developments of the general characteristics of the relations between the government and business interest groups in Turkey. Hence the investigation focuses on the major Turkish PBOs.<p><p>We examine the relations of Turkish PBOs with the EU, essentially, on the basis of the observation of their transnational actions within the EU as well as their participation in financial and technical assistance programmes of the EU and in the joint institutional structures of the association regime between Turkey and the EU. By analysing these two dimensions we assess the repercussions of the socialization of the Turkish PBOs on their strategies of action in dealing with European Affairs, on discourses they adopted regarding domestic policy-making and on their organizational structure and policy agenda.<p><p>We elaborate our topic with reference to the Europeanization concept, which covers the examination of the consequences of the European governance on national systems. Through the Europeanization concept we observe the correlation between the progress of the Turkey-EU relations and the ongoing process of change in the patterns of interventions of the Turkish business interest groups in domestic policy-making. <p> / Doctorat en sciences politiques / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
