The background for this analysis is the comparison with some of the main producing countries in paper and pulp, observing not only the history of this industry on those countries, but also industrial financing systems organized there. Finishing this research, some indicators were developed for a sample of brazilian paper and pulp companies, with the intent of finding about the behavior of this industrial sector in the 1990 s, highlighting its capital structure / Este trabalho analisa o padrão de financiamento da indústria de papel e celulose no Brasil nos anos 1990, procurando identificar alguma alteração nesse padrão que tenha ocorrido a partir da abertura econômica empreendida pelo país, iniciada em 1990. A base para esta análise é a comparação com alguns dos principais países produtores do setor, observando tanto a formação dessa indústria nos países selecionados, como o próprio sistema de financiamento industrial estabelecido nesses locais. Completando o estudo, foram desenvolvidos alguns indicadores para a avaliação de uma amostra de empresas da indústria de papel e celulose brasileira, a fim de observar o comportamento deste setor nos anos 1990, quanto ao padrão de financiamento

Além deste, um objetivo secundário é notar como as atividades inovativas mais rotineiras (que excluem a pesquisa e desenvolvimento) influenciam o comportamento inovador das empresas, fazendo com que elas sejam consideradas empresas inovadoras sem necessariamente despender grandes valores com atividades de pesquisa. A questão que consideramos é que a prática da pesquisa e desenvolvimento sem atividades inovativas complementares pode reduzir a abrangência e o impacto da inovação sobre a estratégia inovativa da empresa. Desta forma, pretende-se mostrar que a melhor estratégia é aliar atividades como treinamento de pessoal, aquisição de novas máquinas e equipamentos, desenvolvimento de projetos industriais, entre outras, com a pesquisa e desenvolvimento. Indo mais além, optar por realizar parcerias ou interações com outras instituições internas ou externas à cadeia produtiva, tais como fornecedores, consumidores, universidades e centros de pesquisa, é mais um fator potencializador da atividade inovativa. A amostra analisada é composta pelo grupo de empresas inovadoras descritas na Pesquisa de Inovação Tecnológica (PINTEC 2008), elaborada pelo IBGE, na qual 38.361 empresas afirmaram ter realizado algum tipo de inovação entre os anos de 2006 e 2008. O resultado da análise evidenciou que as empresas que realizaram inovações interagindo com outros agentes apresentam indicadores melhores que as empresas que inovaram sem interagir. Embora o conjunto formado por empresas inovadoras e interativas seja limitado em relação às empresas inovadoras sem interação, ele é composto por empresas de grande porte, que determinam a dinâmica do mercado. Esse resultado mostra que empresas interativas podem auxiliar na promoção do desenvolvimento científico e tecnológico da indústria, assim como para adensar a estrutura do sistema nacional de inovação / Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to highlight the behavior of firms that used some type of interaction to achieve innovation compared to the group of innovating firms who did not interact. A secondary goal is to point out how routine innovation activities other than research and development influence the behavior of firms towards innovation, causing them to be considered innovative without necessarily spending large amounts on research activities. The research question investigated is whether the practice of research and development without complementary innovative activities reduces the scope and the impact of innovation on the firm's innovative strategy. Thus, this dissertation intends to show that the best innovation strategy is to combine innovative activities such as training of personnel, acquisition of new machinery and equipment, development of industrial projects, among others, with research and development. Furthermore, the firm should choose to form interaction partnerships with other institutions within and outside the supply chain, such as suppliers, customers, universities and research centers, to improve its innovative performance. The sample is composed by a group of innovative firms extracted from the innovation survey Technological Innovation Research (PINTEC 2008), prepared by the IBGE, in which 38,361 companies claimed to have done some kind of innovation between the years 2006 and 2008. The result of the analysis showed that innovative firms that interacted with other agents have better indicators than innovative firms that did not interact. Although the group formed by innovative and interactive companies is small in relation to innovative firms that did not interact, it is composed by large firms which determine the market dynamics. This result shows that interactive firms can assist in promoting the industry's scientific and technological development as well as in reinforcing the national innovation system / Mestrado / Politica Cientifica e Tecnologica / Mestra em Política Científica e Tecnológica

A evolução da sociedade no último século trouxe consigo uma mudança de paradigma na gestão organizacional, percebida pelos próprios pesquisadores de avaliação de empresas: o valor de uma companhia não está sendo corretamente representado em seu Patrimônio Líquido, uma vez que uma parcela significativa de seus ativos é constituída de itens intangíveis não gerados de uma base transacional histórica. Esta dissertação buscou, portanto apresentar o interelacionamento entre ativos intangíveis e economia industrial dentro de um contexto de mudanças organizacionais percebidas nos últimos anos. / The evolution of society in the last century has brought a change in the paradigm of organizational management, which is perceived by company evaluation researchers: the real value of a company is not being truly represented by its Equity Capital, since a significant deal of its assets involves intangible items that do not come from a historical transactional basis. This dissertation has tried, therefore, to present the relationship between intangible assets and industrial economy in the context of the organizational changes seen in the last few years.

A pesquisa mostrou que esses dois fatores foram cruciais para a criação dessas empresas, pois foi criada uma estrutura de suporte técnico-científico, que contribui para a produção de conhecimento na área, e uma complexa estrutura de financiamento, que contempla diversas etapas do processo de desenvolvimento das tecnologias das startups, desde as etapas mais iniciais, como a P&D, até etapas mais avançadas, como a instalação de unidades produtivas em escala comercial. Dessa forma, foi constatado que os Estados Unidos vêm assumindo um papel de destaque nas novas tecnologias de produção de biocombustíveis, superando outros países que vinham se destacando na área, como o Brasil / Abstract: Considering the search for alternative fuels and raw materials to the traditional fossil materials as a research context, the goal of this work is showing how the financing structure and the establishment of public laboratories contributed to the creation of startups, specialized in integrated processing of biomass in the United States, which generates, in the same production unit, the so-called biorefineries, biofuels and chemical inputs from a wide range of raw materials. The research has shown that these two factors were crucial for these enterprises¿ creation, because a structure of technical and scientific support, which contributes to the production of knowledge in the area, and a complex financing structure were created. This financing structure acts in several stages of the technological development of startups, from initial phases, such as R&D, to more advanced phases, like commercial-scale production units. Therefore, it was found that the United States is taking a leading role in new technologies for producing biofuels, surpassing other countries that were standing out in the field, such as Brazil / Mestrado / Politica Cientifica e Tecnologica / Mestra em Política Científica e Tecnológica

This dissertation uses Critical Discourse Analysis to study debates among elite members and affiliates of the Democratic Party from 1988-2008 on class issues and their relevance to the party's environmental agenda. This research builds off of several related historical and theoretical accounts (both primary and secondary) of new social and economic divisions between college-educated and non-college educated workers that have shaped American politics since the 1970s. I focus on how Democratic interest in environmentalism changed as a 'professional-managerial-class' or 'new class' supplanted unionized, industrial workers as the primary social base of the Democratic party. I trace how related people and groups associated with the party understood the relevance of these different classes to consolidating enduring electoral power, and how these informed specific arguments for what ideological views or policy proposals the party should publicly embrace. Furthermore, I identify 'green' narratives related to environmental protection, as an emerging thematic framework that some Democrats felt could help them build a coalition based primarily around support from educated, white-collar workers. I contend that the ideological character of the party's environmental rhetoric, as articulated in this debate, has been influenced mostly by attempts to tailor the party's agenda to the perceived sensibilities of the college-educated, rather than the older working-class base. My analysis proposes three overarching core concepts most often ascribed to the professional class and its members' ideological disposition. I use the discursive method described above to explore their relationship to the framing of the climate issue and its connection to broader ideological values. These are (A) Meritocracy (B) Technocratic Rationality, and (C) Individualism. I argue these professional-oriented climate narratives can be understood as adapting the conceptual reasoning of an older liberal tradition to the structural conditions of the post-70s, globalized economy. Specifically, that the frequent emphasis on these three concepts implicit to the PMC-centric discourse is consistent with a liberal view of freedom as 'non-interference', and a related hostility to democratic interventions into the market. This ideological analysis is significant to the dissertation's focus on framings of climate change because an account this conceptual logic reveals the potential limits of the Democrats' efforts to create majoritarian, political support for environmental protection. / Doctor of Philosophy / This dissertation provides an analysis of debates among elite members and affiliates of the Democratic Party from 1988-2008 on class issues and their relevance to the party's environmental agenda. This investigation is informed by existing accounts of the social and economic divisions between college-educated and non-college educated workers that have shaped American politics since the 1970s. I focus on how Democratic interest in environmentalism developed as a 'professional-managerial-class' or 'new class' supplanted unionized, industrial workers as the primary social base of the Democratic party. I trace how related people and groups associated with the party understood the relevance of these different classes to winning future elections, and how these informed specific arguments for what ideological views or policy proposals the party should publicly embrace. Furthermore, I identify 'green' narratives related to environmental protection, as an emerging thematic framework that some Democrats felt could help them build a coalition based primarily around support from educated, white-collar workers. There are two narratives about class and its relevance to the party that recur frequently in these sources. The first advocates for a coalition made up primarily by the working-class, conceived of as wage-earning, high-school educated voters working in domestically bound, blue collar industries. The second argues the party should build a coalition made up of a professional-managerial class—referred to as the "symbolic analysts", "the rising learning class", "ideapolis dwellers", or "wired workers"— conceived of as affluent, well-educated professionals working in globally integrated sectors of a high-tech "new economy". Each of these views are based on identifying specific ideological sensibilities with the respective classes, which then justify arguments for particular framings of the party's identity and policy agenda. I contend that the ideological character of the party's public philosophy, as articulated in this debate, has been influenced mostly by attempts to tailor the party's agenda (or rhetoric) to the perceived sensibilities of the college-educated, rather than the older working-class base. I show that this was motivated by a belief that a coalition built around votes from the PMC would serve as a more reliable electoral base in a political environment where it was difficult to build support through redistributive, New Deal-style policies as the party had done since the 1930s. Some members perceived the professionals' investment in a post-material "New Politics" or "progressive centrism" as an alternative. The college-educated, they argued, could be motivated to support the Democrats on cultural grounds, allowing the party to embrace more free-market policies. In addition, several figures, including Chuck Schumer, Bill Clinton, and Al Gore argued that environmentalism could or should serve as the foundation of this progressive centrist version of the party, because of green issues' supposed compatibility with a 'pro-business', market-based agenda.

The study is justifiable to consider the need to understand how aircraft manufacturing in Brazil, a symbol of technological success of the country, has evolved over a period of profound change and which would have been the role of public policies in this process. In two early chapters we characterize the aviation industry without neglecting technological efforts in the government space sector regarded as important for the evolution of scientific and national aviation, and discuss theoretical issues related to an evolutionary framework. The third part describes how it has evolved from the Brazilian aircraft production, including the post - 1990 and in the last item we analyze the current role of public policies for the sector / O objetivo desta dissertação é discutir a relação entre as políticas públicas e a evolução da produção aeronáutica brasileira no período pós - 1990. O estudo é justificável ao considerarmos a necessidade de se compreender de que maneira a produção aeronáutica brasileira, símbolo de sucesso tecnológico do país, evoluiu ao longo de um período de intensas transformações bem como qual teria sido o papel das políticas públicas neste processo. Nos dois capítulos iniciais caracterizamos a indústria aeronáutica, sem negligenciarmos os esforços tecnológicos governamentais na área espacial tido como elemento importante para a evolução da produção científica e aeronáutica nacional, e discutimos aspectos teóricos correlacionados em uma matriz teórica evolucionista. Na terceira parte descrevemos de que modo se deu a evolução da produção aeronáutica brasileira, incluindo o período pós - 1990, e no último item analisamos o papel atual das políticas públicas para o setor

Thus, the research analyzed the spatial configuration of productive activities agglomerations in Southern Brazil and in Quebec Province in Canada in order to promote elements for discussion of regional effects this process of concentration. Specifically, the study discussed the elements that influence the formation of agglomerates industrial; identified the industrial agglomerates in Quebec Province and in the states of Southern Brazil and sought to understand the effects of industrial concentration process in the perspective of winners and losers regions. It was used as methodological procedure a multiple regression model with panel data, the estimate of the Location Quotient (QL) with filters and some statistical parameters as, for example, the Pearson Asymmetry Coefficient and the Gini Concentration Coefficient, for a discussion of drive and dynamics of industrial employment. The results showed that the social capital, physical and financial, as well as the market potential are determining factors for the formation of industrial agglomerates. In relation to industrial agglomerates, the study identified to Santa Catarina 56 productive agglomerations for the year 2013. Representing an increase of 30% of agglomerates compared to 2006, as well as a slight diversification in the state's productive structure. In Rio Grande do Sul were identified 65 industrial agglomerates distributed in 16 sub-sectors and in Paraná, between 2006 and 2013, there was a increase of 20% in the number of industrial agglomerates. For Québec Province were identified 6 industrial groupings divided into 4 sub-sectors for 2012, representing a reduction of 33% in the number of agglomerates identified for 2005. Finally, it was noted a distribution of industrial employment toward spaces that, in some cases are located relatively far from areas with the initial presence of the industrial sector. It stayed evident to the southern Brazil, that the largest gains in relation to the industrial employment can not be attributed to large urban centers, or more specifically, the big metropolitan areas. / Esta pesquisa faz uma análise comparativa dos aglomerados industriais e da polarização na Região Sul do Brasil e a Província do Québec no Canadá entre 1996 e 2013. Assim, objetivou-se analisar a configuração espacial das aglomerações de atividades produtivas na Região Sul do Brasil e na Província do Québec no Canadá, a fim de promover elementos para a discussão dos efeitos regionais desse processo de concentração. De forma específica, procurou-se discorrer em relação aos elementos que influenciam a formação de aglomerações de atividades produtivas industriais; identificar e compreender os aglomerados produtivos industriais na Província do Québec e nos Estados da Região Sul do Brasil e abordar os efeitos do processo de concentração industrial sob a ótica de regiões ganhadoras e perdedoras. Para tanto, utilizou-se como procedimento metodológico para alcançar os resultados e responder aos objetivos um modelo de regressão múltipla com dados em painéis, a estimativa do Quociente Locacional (QL) com filtros e alguns parâmetros estatísticos, entre os quais estão o Coeficiente de Assimetria de Pearson e o Coeficiente de concentração de Gini, para uma discussão da movimentação e da dinâmica do emprego industrial. Por meio dos resultados constatou-se que o capital social, físico e financeiro, assim como o potencial de mercado são fatores determinantes para a formação de aglomerados produtivos industriais. Todavia, uma elevação do capital humano e financeiro pode inibir a concentração industrial, principalmente em espaços com um dinamismo socioeconômico mais estável, como é o caso da Província do Québec. Quanto as aglomerações industriais, o estudo identificou para Santa Catarina 56 aglomerações produtivas para o ano de 2013, representando em relação a 2006 um aumento de 30% dos aglomerados, bem como uma leve diversificação na estrutura produtiva do Estado. No Rio Grande do Sul foram identificados 65 agrupamentos industriais distribuídos em 16 subsetores e, no Estado paranaense entre 2006 e 2013 houve um aumento de 20% no número de aglomerados industriais. Para a Província do Québec foram identificados 6 agrupamentos industriais distribuídos em 4 subsetores para 2012, representando uma redução de 33% no número de aglomerados identificados para o ano de 2005. Por fim, notou-se em geral uma distribuição do emprego industrial em direção à espaços, que em alguns casos, se situam relativamente distantes das áreas iniciais de incidência do setor industrial. Ficou evidente na Região Sul do Brasil, que os maiores ganhos em termos de emprego industrial não podem ser atribuídos aos grandes centros urbanos, ou mais especificamente, as grandes regiões metropolitanas.

The video game industry has in three decades gone from a garage hobby to a global multi-billion euro media industry that challenges the significantly older and established cultural industries. After decades of explosive growth the industry surprisingly finds itself in a crisis – in terms of sales, future trajectories and creative paradigms. The global gaming culture receives substantial attention from society, media and academia – but the industry itself appears in comparison as an enigmatic terra incognita with astonishingly little dedicated research. This thesis aims to amend this situation by presenting a study at the cross-section of the video game industry, game studies, literary theory, cultural industries and business studies. It deals with the following question: how does the global game industry relate to its own product, in terms of communication and media dimensions, and what are the (business) consequences, in terms of production, strategy and commercial/creative innovation, of this relationship? This study’s departure point is constituted by a comprehensive description of the industry’s structure, dynamics and processes, based on extensive interviews with industry professionals. It is followed by an examination and comparison of the game industry with other media/cultural industries in relation to their economy and business dynamics. With inconclusive answers regarding the medium-industry relation, this study proceeds by exploring literary theories from the field of game studies, in order to gain insights into the dynamics of medium and industry. Literary theories from ludology and narratology provide rewarding perspectives on this inquiry, since it is found that the ontological dichotomy of simulation vs. respresentation present in the interpretational realm of the game medium is also reflected in the industry and its dynamics. This has pivotal consequences for the analysis of the game industry. This study concludes by positing the current critical condition of the industry as an extremely decisive moment in its history: will it become a truly universal mass-medium, or will it continue down its subcultural path? Subcultural “interactive cinema” meets mass-cultural media of simulation – how will the industry evolve? / QC20100708
