11	[en] EVALUATION OF A CORPORATE PLANNING MODEL - THE CASE OF PETROBRAS / [pt] AVALIAÇÃO DO MODELO DE PLANEJAMENTO ESTRATÉGICO DE UMA EMPRESA - O CASO PETROBRAS ANDREA BELFORT DE ANDRADE SANTOS 30 July 2002 (has links) [pt] O objetivo central da dissertação é avaliar o Processo de Planejamento em desenvolvimento no Sistema PETROBRAS, focalizando sua evolução e sistematização. Com vistas à obtenção desse objetivo, abordam-se, primeiramente, várias metodologias de planejamento com a finalidade de compor o referencial teórico necessário à elaboração de critérios de avaliação do Processo adotado pela Empresa. Em seguida, são apresentados os resultados de uma pesquisa realizada na Companhia com o intuito de analisar a evolução do Planejamento no nível estratégico, as relações políticas inerentes a esse processo, os atores nele envolvidos e suas responsabilidades. Finalmente, são apresentadas propostas, baseadas na teoria discutida, ajustadas à realidade observada, visando contornar desvios detectados no Processo de Planejamento da Empresa. / [en] The objective of this dissertation is to evaluate the planning model developed at PETROBRAS, focusing its evolution and structure. With this aim, some planning methodologies are described, in order to create a theoretical framework that can provide basic criteria to evaluate the planning process adopted by the Company. Next, the results of a case study carried out at this Company are presented,describing the evolution of the Strategic Planning process, the power relations and the actors involved in this process and their responsibilities. Finally, some proposals,based on the theory discussed and appropriate to the observed reality are presented, aiming at improving the Planning Process.

12	Meta-analysis of the corporate planning–organizational performance relationship: A research note Hamann, Peter Maik, Halw, Oliver, Guenther, Thomas W. 19 March 2024 (has links) Research Summary Despite a plethora of studies, the moderating effects of contingency factors regarding the relationship between corporate planning (CP) and organizational performance (OP) remain open to discussion. Our meta-analysis analyzes 183 independent study samples, 84 of which are examined for the first time. We expand on previous meta-analyses by correcting for measurement error and dichotomization, and we use moderation analyses and meta-analytical regressions to explain heterogeneity in these studies. We find evidence for the moderating effects of task interdependence and uncertainty avoidance as contingency factors. Unexpectedly, we identify an interaction of the measurements of OP and CP with uncertainty avoidance. Our results provide new insights into the relationship between CP and OP. Management Summary Managers who may doubt whether planning is still fruitful in turbulent times obtain a clear answer from our study: Yes, it is. CP is definitely correlated with OP. The effect sizes are stable over time and for different types of planning. However, the effect of CP on performance depends on the organizational context. Manufacturing firms benefit more than nonmanufacturing firms, and larger firms benefit more than smaller firms. Organizations in countries with high uncertainty avoidance show larger effects in relation to those in countries with low uncertainty avoidance. Finally, organizations facing high environmental uncertainty show higher effects of CP than organizations in more stable environments. However, the identified effects are conditional on the type of measurement of performance and CP. info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/650 ddc:650
13	ADDRESSING CORPORATE KNOWLEDGE LOSS IN A UNIVERSITY UTILITY PLANT Kelly A McFall (9622742) 16 December 2020 (has links) <p>This research was a pilot study in a larger project that focused on how to retrieve knowledge from retiring long-term employees of a small university utility plant, incorporate that material into their existing training program, and during the process reduce the training time for current and future employees. Wade utility plant faced the retirement of eight employees with nearly 200 years of corporate knowledge within three years, but their current training program required seven to nine years to complete. The study utilized interviews, first-hand observation and partnership with current employees to explore how best to obtain the corporate knowledge that would be lost when the proletarian workers retired. The study revealed that the training program needed to be updated, and communication, trust and training evaluation continuity needed to be addressed. Due to these issues, trust was built through transparency by the researcher, and suggestions were made to management for moving forward. This study adds to the body of knowledge by utilizing knowledge capture techniques in a utility plant, highlighting effective knowledge capture techniques for proletarian workers, the importance of corporate planning for the effect of group retirements, and how incorporating proletarian workers into training creation can make a positive impact on company relationships.</p> Technology not elsewhere classified utility plants Knowledge capture Knowledge retention Baby Boomers trust cues Knowledge loss Retirement blue collar Interview Corporate Culture Communication observation techniques Training CCHP Knowledge transfer proletarian knowledge management training time reduction corporate communication building trust corporate planning implicit explicit tacit scaffolded learning OJT stationary engineer knowledge collection methodology single subject research content analysis active listening
