With continuous development, businesses cannot restrict to only one country or area. Establishing operation or production centers across the sea is the most important factor for businesses to live permanently. Thus, many large-scale companies become multinational corporations to integrate global resources and create the most powerful synergy. With this change, those corporations also strengthen their competitiveness in the market. It is the most obvious phenomenon after the 20th century that multinational or multi-national corporations rapidly expand by the work of value chain of their oversea subsidiary companies. Many researches show that enterprises benefited a lot from successfully practice Knowledge Management (KM). KM does not success in the enterprise just only spending a fortune, purchasing and using KM software; it also depends on coordinating enterprise¡¦s culture and resources, carrying out the KM plan systematically and progressively to establish a climate of KM among all employers. Many companies practice ISO quality management system (the ISO) before KM. The ISO makes all explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge into formal papers and documents and easy to arrange. Thus, the ISO lays a conceptual and systematic foundation KM and makes the enterprise practice KM more easily. This research to discuss the relation between KM activities and global disposition strategies of MNCs. It contents analysis of KM topics by the view of technology mature degree, the relation between the ISO and KM, the relation between roles of Human Resources Management and the activities of value chain of its oversea subsidiary companies under different Knowledge Innovation strategies, and the relation between KM and strategies of global resources disposition under different technology mature degree. Following are the conclusions of this research: 1. Companies belong to low degree of technology maturity should use dispersal strategies of global resources disposition). 2. All companies should emphasize ¡¨sharing¡¨ no matter they belong to which degree of technology maturity. 3. Knowledge processing should match the company¡¦s KM system. 4. High response knowledge innovation strategy benefits the activities of value chain of oversea subsidiary companies. 5. Coordinate and control roles of Human Resource Management is more and more important when the company uses local for local innovation strategy of knowledge innovation. 6. Companies practice the ISO benefit to knowledge transfer. According to the conclusions above, there are some suggestions to businesses: 1. To build up the Software System of KM that meets the company¡¦s needs. 2. To develop professional KM manager. 3. To set up the concept of ¡¨employees¡¦ knowledge is a big fortune¡¨. 4. To establish the culture of ¡§sharing¡¨. 5. To make good use of the ISO. 6. To integrate strategies of global resources disposition and KM. 7. To play different roles of Human Resource Management when come across different KM activities.

The use of technology for competitive advantage has become a necessity, not only for corporate organisations, but for higher education institutions (HEIs) as well. Consequently, corporate organisations and HEIs alike must be equipped to protect against the pervasive nature of technology. To do this, they implement controls and undergo audits to ensure these controls are implemented correctly. Although HEIs are a different kind of entity to corporate organisations, HEI information technology (IT) audits are based on the same criteria as those for corporate organisations. The primary aim of this research, therefore, was to develop a set of IT control criteria that are relevant to be tested in IT audits for South African HEIs. The research method used was the Delphi technique. Data was collected, analysed, and used as feedback on which to progress to the next round of data collection. Two lists were obtained: a list of the top IT controls relevant to be tested at any organisation, and a list of the top IT controls relevant to be tested at a South African HEI. Comparison of the two lists shows that although there are some differences in the ranking of criteria used to audit corporate organisations as opposed to HEIs, the final two lists of criteria do not differ significantly. Therefore, it was shown that the same broad IT controls are required to be tested in an IT audit for a South African HEI. However, this research suggests that the risk weighting put on particular IT controls should possibly differ for HEIs, as HEIs face differing IT risks. If further studies can be established which cater for more specific controls, then the combined effect of this study and future ones will be a valuable contribution to knowledge for IT audits in a South African higher education context.

[pt] A presente dissertação de mestrado intitulada Metrologia nas normas, normas na metrologia foi motivada por recomendações explícitas contidas no Plano Nacional de Metrologia (PNM) - transformado em instrumento da política metrológica brasileira, por força de Resolução Interministerial do CONMETRO, que propôs ações de fortalecimento do sistema brasileiro de normalização, priorizando a implementação de um comitê brasileiro para normalização em metrologia na estrutra orgânica da ABNT. Entendidas como funções complementares da tecnologia industrial, metrologia e normalização são tratadas não apenas como insumos essenciais para desenvolvimento da competitividade industrial e melhoria da qualidade de vida, mas, também, como elementos indissociáveis no equacionamento de vulnerabilidades que restringem o acesso de produtos brasileiros a mercados competitivos em decorrência de barreiras técnicas ao comércio internacional. Assim, no contexto das recomendações apontadas pelo PNM, a pesquisa de mestrado contemplou: (i) estudo do modus operandi dos organismos internacionais de normalização, para se perceber a forma pela qual o insumo metrológico é agregado às normas internacionais; (ii) análise das práticas vivenciadas por organismos nacionais de normalização de países mais industrializados, objetivando apreender suas experiências no desenvolvimento de normas em metrologia; (iii) entrevista junto a especialistas atuantes em metrologia e em normalização, objetivando definir um padrão de atuação para se equacionar a normalização técnica setorial no Brasil; (iv) caracterização dos principais fatos marcantes que impactaram o alavancamento da normalização técnica no País, provendo subsídio para equacionamento dos óbices ainda existentes e (v) análise das carências e vulnerabilidades do sistema brasileiro de normalização, assim consolidando conhecimento e uma visão crítica para planejamento da pesquisa de mestrado que se constituiu na concepção e formulação das bases conceituais de um comitê técnico para normalização em metrologia, proposto para ser implementado na estrutura orgânica da ABNT, entendido como estratégia de fortalecimento do sistema brasileiro de normalização e (vi) pesquisa de demanda por normalização em metrologia. Objetivando diferenciar as demandas por normalização em metrologia das demandas por metrologia na normalização, a pesquisa foi desenvolvida no contexto de três ambientes: (a) junto aos comitês brasileiros de normalização (ABNT/CB) e organismos de normalização setorial (ONS) que integram a estrutura orgânica da Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT), com o propósito de conhecer necessidades específicas de metrologia na atividade de normalização bem como as dificuldades relacionadas ao uso e aplicação de fundamentos da metrologia como insumo ao processo de normalização técnica; (b) junto a especialistas de metrologia e normalização, para subsidiar o desenvolvimento de uma interface técnica de cooperação e (c) junto a fóruns especialistas de metrologia, para se identificar demandas por normalização, identificadas ao longo das respectivas cadeias hierárquicas de disseminação das unidades de base e derivadas do Sistema Internacional de Unidades (SI). Adicionalmente às bases de dados (caracterização de demandas por normalização em metrologia) que foram consolidadas pelo presente trabalho e que levaram à ampla reflexão sobre a correlação existente entre metrologia nas normas e normas na metrologia, destacam-se os seguintes resultados que também emergiram da presente dissertação de mestrado: (i) desenvolvimento de uma nova área de concentração em normalização técnica, criada no Programa de Pós- Graduação em Metrologia da PUC-Rio; (ii) indução de um processo para geração de conhecimento e formação de recursos humanos em normalização; (iii) a recente cri / [en] The present master s degree dissertation entitled Metrology in standards, standards in metrology was motivated by explicit recommendations included in the National Metrology Plan (PNM) - which became an instrument of the Brazilian metrology policy, by force of a Interministerial Decision from CONMETRO, that had proposed specific actions to strenghten the Brazilian system of standardization, prioritizing the implementation of a technical committe for standardization in metrology within the ABNT structure. As complementary functions of industrial technology, metrology and standardization are treated not only as essential inputs necessary for the development of industrial competitiveness and quality of life enhancement, but also as intrinsic elements in equating vulnerabilities which restrict access of Brazilian products to competitive markets because of technical barriers to international trade. Thus, within the context of recommendations made by PNM, this master s degree research considered: (i) a study of the modus operandi of international standardization organizations, so as to perceive the way through which metrology inputs are added to international standards; (ii) an analysis of practices by national standardization organizations in industrialized countries so as to capture their experience in developing metrology standards; (iii) interviews with active experts in metrology and standardization with the purpose of defining a performance pattern in order to equate technical standards of industry in Brazil; (iv) a description of the most outstanding facts which had an impact on leveraging technical standardization in the country, providing subsidies to equate existingobstacles; (v) an analysis of the shortages and vulnerabilities of the Brazilian standardization system, thus consolidating knowledge and a critical vision in order to plan this master s dissertation which consisted of conceiving and formulating the conceptual fundamentals of a technical committee for standardization in metrology, to be implemented in ABNT s organic structure, as a strategy to enhance the Brazilian standardization system, and (vi) standardization demand research in metrology. With the aim of distinguishing the demand for standardization in metrology from the demand for metrology in standardization, this research was developed along three different lines: (a) at Brazilian standardization committees (ABNT/CB) and industry standardization organizations (ONS) which make up the organic structure of the Brazilian Association for Technical Standards (ABNT), so as to know the specific needs for metrology in standardization activities, as well as, the difficulties related to the use and application of metrology fundamentals as inputs to the technical standardization process; (b) with metrology and standardization experts in order to subsidize the development of the interface of a new cooperation rationale, and (c) research in forum specialized in metrology so as to identify standardization demands, pointed out throughout respective dissemination hierarchical chains of base units and derived from the International System of Units (SI). In addition tothe data bank which was consolidated by study and research developed and which led to a broad reflection on the existing correlation between metrology in standards and standards in metrology, the following results, which also came out of this master s degree dissertation, can be highlighted: (i) development of a new concentration area in technical standardization, created for the Post Graduate Program in Metrology at the Catholic University (PUC-Rio) in Rio de Janeiro; (ii) introduction of a process to build knowledge and development of human resources in standardization; (iii) the recent creation of ABNT/CB-53, the Brazilian Committee for Standardization in Metrology, whose genesis, conception, framework and implementation came out of the current master s degree work in metrology and which, officially , supplies Brazilian society with a technical forum for standardization in metrology.

In this research, it was mainly aimed to develop an acceptance model for processes, namely the process acceptance model (PAM). For this purpose, a questionnaire, comprising 3-part and 81-question, was developed to collect quantitative and qualitative data from people having relationships with certain process-focused models and/or standards (CMMI, ISO 15504, ISO 9001, ISO 27001, AQAP-160, AQAP-2110, and/or AS 9100). To revise and refine the questionnaire, expert reviews were ensured, and a pilot study was conducted with 60 usable responses. After reviews, refinements and piloting, the questionnaire was deployed to collect data and in-total 368 usable responses were collected from the people. Here, collected data were screened concerning incorrectly entered data, missing data, outliers and normality, and reliability and validity of the questionnaire were ensured. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS SEM) was applied to develop the PAM. In this context, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were applied, and the initial model was estimated and evaluated. The initial model was modified as required by PLS SEM, and confirmatory factor analysis was repeated, and the modified final model was estimated and evaluated. Consequently, the PAM, with 18 factors and their statistically significant relationships, was developed. Furthermore, descriptive statistics and t-tests were applied to discover some interesting, meaningful, and important points to be taken into account regarding the acceptance of processes. Moreover, collected quantitative data were analyzed, and three additional factors were discovered regarding the acceptance of processes. Besides, a checklist to test and/or promote the acceptance of processes was established.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / O termo Teoria da Prova foi introduzido por Hilbert para identificar o estudo sobre provas formais. Pesquisas nessa Ãrea podem ser classificadas em: a) Teoria da Prova Redutiva ou Interpretacional, cujo objetivo à demonstrar, entre outras coisas, a consistÃncia da matemÃtica utilizando somente mÃtodos finitistas, e b) Teoria da Prova Estrutural, onde caracterÃsticas estruturais das provas formais sÃo investigadas por meio de sistemas dedutivos como DeduÃÃo Natural e CÃlculo de Sequentes. Prawitz, por meio da Teoria da Prova, definiu uma Teoria dos Significados para constantes logicas e propÃs regras esquemÃticas de introduÃÃo e de eliminaÃÃo para caracterizar os conectivos proposicionais. Schroeder-Heister estendeu as definiÃÃes de Prawitz e formalizou o uso de regras como hipÃteses, tornando possÃvel a utilizaÃÃo de cÃlculos para suposiÃÃes separados de cÃlculos para constantes lÃgicas. NÃo estamos interessados na investigaÃÃo de regras esquemÃticas para dar significado a constantes lÃgicas. Pretendemos, na verdade, definir procedimentos de normalizaÃÃo esquemÃticos, baseados em tais regras esquematicas, com objetivo de identificar condiÃÃes suficientes para um sistema ser normalizÃvel. Tais resultados sÃo pertinentes à Teoria Abstrata da Prova, termo usado para identificar o estudo das condiÃÃes abstratas e gerais para a anÃlise prova-teÃrica de sistemas formais. Teoria Abstrata da Prova nÃo estuda cÃlculos lÃgicos especÃficos, mas famÃlias de cÃlculos instÃncias de regras esquemÃticas. A nossa proposta, portanto, baseia-se em regras esquemÃticas que podem ser instanciadas por regras concretas, em particular, por regras que introduzem operadores modais. Provamos, tambÃm, Teoremas de NormalizaÃÃoo Fraca e Forte para sistemas esquemÃticos definidos em funÃÃoo de nossas regras esquemÃticas, obtemos condiÃÃes suficientes para que um sistema instÃncia destas regras seja normalizÃvel, definimos um procedimento que normaliza deduÃÃes concretas e comparamos nossas provas de normalizaÃÃo esquemÃtica com provas de normalizaÃÃo para sistemas definidos na literatura. / The term Theory Test was introduced by Hilbert to identify the study of formal proofs. Research in this area can be classified into: a) Proof Theory of reductive or interpretational, whose goal is to demonstrate, among other things, the consistency of mathematics using only methods finitistas, b) Structural Proof Theory, where the structural characteristics of the formal proofs are investigated by means of deductive systems as Natural Deduction and Sequent Calculus. Prawitz through Theory Proof set a Theory of Meaning for constants logics and proposed schematic introduction rules and elimination to characterize the propositional connectives. Schroeder-Heister settings Prawitz extended and formalized the use of rules as hypotheses, making possible the use of separate calculations for assumptions of calculations for logical constants. We are not interested in the investigation of schematic rules to give meaning to the logical constants. We intend to actually set schematic standardization procedures, based on such schematic rules? Attic, in order to identify sufficient conditions for a system to be normalizÃvel. These results are relevant to the Abstract Theory of Evidence, a term used to identify the study of the conditions abstract and general to the proof-theoretical analysis of formal systems. Abstract Theory of Evidence do not study specific logical calculations, but families of calculations instances of rules schematic. Our proposal is therefore based on rules schematic rules can be instantiated for concrete, in particular, by introducing rules modal operators. We prove also theorems NormalizaÃÃoo Weak and Strong systems defined in schematic funÃÃoo schematic of our rules, we obtain sufficient conditions for a system instance is normalizÃvel these rules, we define a procedure that normalizes deductions concrete evidence and compare our standards with evidence schematic standards for systems defined in the literature.

Jan Tschichold (1902-1974), typographe et théoricien de la typographie, est célèbre pour la rupture qui scinde son travail en deux corpus en apparence inconciliables selon les catégories traditionnelles de l’histoire de l’art : modernisme et traditionalisme. Dans les années 1920, il est en Allemagne, l’un des défenseurs de la « Nouvelle Typographie », conception avant-gardiste de la discipline influencée notamment par le Bauhaus. Après avoir émigré en Suisse suite à l’arrivée au pouvoir des nazis, il devient à partir de la fin des années 1930, un érudit de l’histoire de l’imprimerie, replaçant la forme traditionnelle du livre au centre de ses préoccupations. Comment expliquer cette rupture ? Nous proposons de répondre à cette question en décentrant notre regard des travaux de conception de Tschichold pour s’attacher à ses pratiques de lecture et d’écriture. Cela permet d’envisager son activité comme celle d’un professionnel intégré contraint de s’adapter à la mécanisation et l’automatisation de processus de travail autrefois artisanaux, en décalage avec l’image du créateur avant-gardiste franc-tireur dont il jouit parfois. En superposant aux outils conceptuels de l’histoire de l’art, les grilles d’analyse des historiens du livre, de l’industrialisation ou des sociologues, nous tentons d’apporter de nouveaux éléments de compréhension, non seulement concernant Tschichold, mais également le courant de la Nouvelle Typographie. De manière plus générale, nos recherches questionnent les notions de « typographie » et de « typographe », ainsi que les relations qu’entretiennent typographie, design graphique et publicitaire, peinture, photographie et architecture au XXe siècle. / Jan Tschichold (1902-1974), typographer and theorist of typography, is famous for the break that divides its work into two apparently irreconcilable corpora in the traditional categories of art history: modernism and traditionalism. In the 1920s, he is in Germany, one of the “New Typography” advocates, avant-garde design discipline particularly influenced by the Bauhaus. After immigrating to Switzerland (after the Nazis came to power), he became from the late 1930s, a scholar of the history of printing, replacing the traditional form of the book at the center of its concerns. How to explain this failure? We propose to answer this question by offsetting our view of Tschichold design work to focus on practices of reading and writing. This allows considering its work like a professional forced to adapt a craft to mechanization and automation, stepping out with the legend of the avant-gardist artist who is propagated by many books on the history of graphic design. By superimposing on the conceptual tools of art history, the analysis grids of the historians of book and printing, of the industrial revolution or the tolls of sociologists, we try to bring new elements of understanding, not only for Tschicholds career, but also the “artistic” movement of the New Typography. More generally, our work questions the notions of “typography” and "typographer" and the relationship between typography, graphic and advertising design, painting, photography and architecture in the twentieth century.

The dissertation deals with the management culture of a construction company in connection with the new roles that are introduced in the Czech Republic (CR), especially after it became a member state of the European Union. In the introduction to the dissertation, two hypotheses are proposed. In the following theoretical part, it deals with the first general definition of corporate culture and ethics linked to the quality of work and new roles. In order to understand these difficult times, which are characterized by various types of crises, an analysis of the construction industry is made. Next, a description of the legislative developments in the CR is made and the influence of computer technology in construction management is marginally mentioned. It’s implementing the new technology that has an increasing impact on the organization and quality of work. The ability to use computer technology has in essence become a measure of the level of development of the management culture in the given construction company. The main theoretical part defines the roles in question, including their historical development, origin and the cause of their occurrence in both the CR and the neighboring countries.
