Background: Innovation and collaboration are deemed popular terms that are widely used and agreed on. It is implied that innovation without collaboration seems to be unlikely (Deichmann et al., 2017, Haanæs et al., 2018, Innov8rs, 2018). However, the meaning behind innovations of disruptive, incremental, or radical character remains vague and presumably differs between practitioners, just as it differs among scholars. Also, the literature only implies how collaboration can be used effectively for innovation, whilst focussing more on what forms of collaborations are existing.   Research questions: How is innovation understood in the CIC? How does the CIC work together in order to realise cross-industry collaborations for innovation?   Purpose: This study aims at investigating the variety of innovation understanding and how it is applied in collaborations, based on the views of practitioners from different companies that are part of the Cross Industry Club.   Method: This research is designed as an exploratory case study and follows a qualitative strategy with abductive reasoning. Data is collected through nine semi-structured interviews with representatives from five different companies.   Conclusion: The study revealed that practitioners have other aspects in mind which define their understanding of innovation compared to scholars. By that, the usage of innovation terminology is rather arbitrary in practice. The influence of innovation frameworks on the understanding of innovation and the collaborative work have been revealed. Innovation in a cross-industry collaboration, in its purpose and characteristics, is similar to the work of communities of practice. Challenges that appear during the emergence of a collaboration like the CIC, and values that affect the initial work towards cross-industry projects, have been identified.

This topic is current and relevant by addressing the development of good relations between buyer-supplier that increases the exchange of information, increases the length of relationship, reduces the hierarchical controls and improves performance. Furthermore, although there is a vast literature on trust, the scientific work that deal specifically at the trust interorganizational still need further research to synthesize and validate the variables that generate this phenomenon. In this sense, this investigation is to explain the antecedents of trust interorganizational by the relationship between the variable operational performance, organizational characteristics, shared values and interpersonal relationships on purchases by manufacturing industries, in order to develop a robust literature, most consensual, that includes the current sociological and economic, considering the effect of interpersonal relationships in this phenomenon. This proposal is configured in a new vision of the antecedents of interorganizational trust, described as significant quantitative from models Morgan and Hunt (1994), Doney and Cannon (1997), Zhao and Cavusgil (2006) and Nyaga, Whipple, Lynch (2011), as well as qualitative analysis of Tacconi et al. (2011). With regard to methodological aspects, the study assumes the form of a descriptive, survey type, and causal trace theoretical and empirical. As for his nature, the investigation, explicative character, has developed a quantitative approach with the use of exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling SEM, with the use of IBM software SPSS Amos 18.0, using the method of maximum verisimilitude, and supported by technical bootstraping. The unit of analysis was the buyer-supplier relationship, in which the object under investigation was the supplier organization in view of the purchasing company. 237 valid questionnaires were collected among key informants, using a simple random sampling developed in manufacturing industries (SIC 10-33), located in the city of Natal and in the region of Natal. The first results of descriptive analysis demonstrate the phenomenon of interorganizational trust, in which purchasing firms believe, feel secure about the supplier. This demonstration showed high levels of intensity, predominantly among the vendors that supply the company with materials that are used directly in the production process. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, performed on each variable alone, generated a set of observable and unobservable variables more consistent, giving rise to a model, that needed to be further specified. This again specify model consists of trajectories was positive, with a good fit, with a composite reliability and variance extracted satisfactory, and demonstrates convergent and discriminant validity, in which the factor loadings are significant and strong explanatory power. Given the findings that reinforce the model again specify data, suggesting a high probability that this model may be more suited for the study population, the results support the explanation that interorganizational trust depends on purchases directly from interpersonal relationships, sharing value and operating performance and indirectly of personal relationships, social networks, organizational characteristics, physical and relational aspect of performance. It is concluded that this trust can be explained by a set of interactions between these three determinants, where the focus is on interpersonal relationships, with the largest path coefficient for the factor under study / Esta pesquisa se insere no campo dos estudos organizacionais, focalizando o comportamento de compra organizacional e, de forma espec?fica, a confian?a interorganizacional nas compras. Esse tema ? atual e relevante por abordar o desenvolvimento de boas rela??es entre comprador-fornecedor que amplia a troca de informa??es, aumenta o tempo de relacionamento, reduz os controles hier?rquicos e melhora o desempenho. Al?m disso, embora exista uma vasta literatura sobre confian?a, os trabalhos cient?ficos que tratam especificamente da confian?a interorganizacional ainda carecem de mais pesquisas que sintetizem e validem as vari?veis geradoras desse fen?meno. Nesse sentido, essa investiga??o consiste em explicar os antecedentes da confian?a interorganizacional pela rela??o entre as vari?veis desempenho operacional, caracter?sticas organizacionais, compartilhamento de valores e relacionamento interpessoal nas compras realizadas pelas ind?strias de transforma??o, a fim de desenvolver uma literatura robusta, mais consensual, que contemple as correntes sociol?gicas e econ?micas, considerando o efeito das rela??es interpessoais nesse fen?meno. Essa proposta se configura em uma nova vis?o dos antecedentes da confian?a interorganizacional, descritos como significativos com base nos modelos quantitativos de Morgan e Hunt (1994), Doney e Cannon (1997), Zhao e Cavusgil (2006) e Nyaga, Whipple, Lynch (2011), bem como da an?lise qualitativa de Tacconi et al. (2011). No que se refere aos aspectos metodol?gicos, o estudo assume a forma de uma pesquisa descritiva, do tipo survey, e causal de cunho te?rico emp?rico. Quanto ? sua natureza, a investiga??o, de car?ter explicativo, se desenvolveu em uma abordagem quantitativa, com o uso da an?lise fatorial explorat?ria e da modelagem de equa??es estruturais SEM, com o recurso do software IBM SPSS Amos 18.0, utilizando o m?todo da m?xima verossimilhan?a e apoiada pela t?cnica de bootstraping. A unidade de an?lise foi a rela??o comprador-fornecedor, em que o objeto investigado era a organiza??o fornecedora na vis?o da empresa compradora. Foram coletados 237 question?rios v?lidos, entre os informantes-chaves, utilizando uma amostragem aleat?ria simples desenvolvida nas ind?strias de transforma??o (CNAE 10 a 33), localizadas na cidade do Natal e na regi?o da Grande Natal. Os primeiros resultados das an?lises descritivas demonstram o fen?meno da confian?a interorganizacional na qual as empresas compradoras acreditam, se sentem seguras em rela??o ? empresa fornecedora. Essa manifesta??o apresentou altos n?veis de intensidade, com predomin?ncia entre os fornecedores que suprem a empresa com os materiais que s?o utilizados diretamente no processo produtivo. As an?lises fatoriais explorat?rias e confirmat?rias, realizadas em cada vari?vel isoladamente, geraram um conjunto de vari?veis observ?veis e n?o observ?veis mais consistentes, que juntas formaram um modelo que precisou de reespecifica??o. Esse modelo reespecificado foi constitu?do por trajet?rias positivas, com bom ajustamento, com confiabilidade composta e vari?ncia extra?da satisfat?rias, assim como demonstra validade convergente e discriminante, nas quais as cargas fatoriais s?o significativas e com forte poder explicativo. Diante das constata??es que refor?am o modelo reespecificado aos dados, sugerindo uma elevada probabilidade de que esse modelo seja o mais ajustado para a popula??o em estudo, os resultados suportam a explica??o de que a confian?a interorganizacional nas compras depende diretamente do relacionamento interpessoal, do compartilhamento de valores e do desempenho operacional e indiretamente das rela??es pessoais, redes sociais, caracter?sticas organizacionais, aspecto f?sico e relacional do desempenho. Conclui-se que essa confian?a pode ser explicada por um conjunto de intera??es entre esses tr?s determinantes, nos quais o ponto central recai sobre o relacionamento interpessoal, que apresentou o maior coeficiente de trajet?ria para o fator em estudo

Thus, our investigation aimed to determine the extent to which sustainability practices of companies associated to REDEPETRO-RN are developed through their own efforts or influenced by the Triple Helix interorganizational arrangement (governamental organizations, education and research institutions, and industries). The research instrument used was a questionnaire in order to map and characterize the sustainability practices. The research subjects were business owners and managers. The data collected supported the descriptive, correspondence and correlation analyzes. Were identified a greater emphasis of the companies surveyed in developing sustainability practices and greater economic influence of business organizations in the construction of sustainability status. It was concluded with confirmation of thesis of the REDEPETRO-RN arrangement exhibits the characteristics and functioning of a common Interorganizational Cooperative Arrangement, not those of a triple helix interorganizational arrangement, given that the influences exerted for the development of social, environmental and economical sustainability on the part of teaching and research institutions, and government and business organizations do not interact with one another sufficiently to create a virtuous circle of cooperation among the associated companies. By contrast, the Interorganizational Cooperative Arrangement plays an important role in strengthening the competitiveness of companies affiliated to REDEPETRO-RN, by combining different competencies in an attempt at supporting the adoption of sustainability practices, a role reinforced by the scope of PETROBRAS, which, due to its economic importance, has considerable weight in the managerial decisions of associated companies / Esta pesquisa explorou a gest?o de pr?ticas de sustentabilidade social, ambiental e econ?mica de 72 empresas associadas ?

Os dados coletados subsidiaram a realiza??o de an?lises descritivas, de correspond?ncia e correla??o. Identificou-se uma maior ?nfase das empresas no desenvolvimento de pr?ticas de sustentabilidade econ?mica e uma maior influ?ncia das organiza??es empresariais na constru??o desse status de sustentabilidade, confirmando a tese de que o arranjo REDEPETRO-RN apresenta caracter?sticas e funcionamento de um Arranjo Cooperativo Interoganizacional (ACI) comum, n?o apresentando caracter?sticas de um arranjo interorganizacional do tipo H?lice Tripla, dado as influ?ncias exercidas para o desenvolvimento de pr?ticas de sustentabilidade social, ambiental e econ?mica por parte das institui??es de ensino e pesquisa, das organiza??es governamentais e empresariais n?o interagirem entre si suficientemente para configurar um c?rculo virtuoso de coopera??o entre as empresas associadas.

The main objective is to analyze how interorganizational networks impacted/impact on the potential for innovation, creating both limits and opportunities for the companies development. The adopted method analyzed the historical jewelry industry trajectory since the beginning of mineral extraction in the city of Itaituba (in the Par? State) until nowadays. Primary and secondary data were used allowing the view of the dynamics of the network during transformation periods of the main involved actors in the process. The prospect of embeddedness structural as analysis technique allowed verifying the quality of interactors ties, as well as the visualization of their structures. During the jewelry industry trajectory was verified a change in the quality of social relations, modifying the information flow, trust and associations of various links in the production chain. Both direct and indirect ties facilitated the access to remote networks entering new information related to new products, processes and market aspects. This interaction has led to raising the innovation potential causing a qualitative and quantitative improvement in competitiveness of organizations. Some embedded ties allowed the formation of partnerships bringing various economic earnings for those involved in the relationship. Thus, it is understood how aspects related to the position, architecture and quality of ties in a wide social network influenced on the innovation process and eventual jewelry industry trajectory / Este trabalho consiste em um estudo de caso no P?lo Joalheiro de Bel?m, cuja problem?tica central est? em compreender como a rede social onde est? imerso o P?lo, influencia no processo de inova??o do setor.

This is a case study which sought to investigate whether the model of cooperation established by the two institutions brings innovation to generate technical-scientific knowledge and contribute to the coordination with other actors in the promotion of technological innovation. In addition to desk research the necessary data for analysis were obtained by sending questionnaires to the coordinators of projects in R&D at the company and university. Also, interviews were conducted with subjects who participated in the study since its inception to the present day. This case study were analysed through the Resource-Based View and Interorganizational Networks theory. The sample data also stands that: searches were aligned to the strategic planning and that 29% of R&D projects have been successful on the scope of the proposed objectives (of which 11% were incorporated into business processes); which was produced technical and scientific knowledge caracterized by hundreds of national and international publications; thesis, dissertations, eleven patents, and radical and incremental innovations; the partnership has also brought benefits to the academic processes induced by the improved infrastructure UFRN and changing the "attitude" of the university (currently with national prominence in research and staff training for the oil sector). As for the model, the technical point of view, although it has some problems, it follows that it is appropriate. From the viewpoint of the management model is criticized for containing an excess of bureaucracy. From the standpoint of strategic allocation of resources from the legal framework needs to be reassessed, because it is focused only on the college level and it is understood that should also reach the high school given the new reality of the oil sector in Brazil. For this it is desirable to add the local government to this partnership. The set of information leads to the conclusion that the model is identified and named as a innovation of organizational arrangement here known as Shared Management of R&D in petroleum of Petrobras with UFRN. It is said that the shared management model it is possible to exist, which is a simple and effective way to manage partnerships between firms and Science and Technology Institutions. It was created by contingencies arising from regulatory stand points and resource dependence. The partnership is the result of a process of Convergence, Construction and Evaluation supported by the tripod Simplicity, Systematization and Continuity, important factors for its consolidation. In practice an organizational arrangement was built to manage innovative university-industry partnership that is defined by a dyadic relationship on two levels (institutional and technical, therefore governance is hybrid), by measuring the quarterly meetings of systematic and standardized financial contribution proportional to the advancement of research. These details have led to the establishment of a point of interaction between the scientific and technological-business dimension, demystifying they are two worlds apart / Este trabalho aborda a rela??o Universidade-Empresa e tem como objetivo compreender o modelo de Gest?o Compartilhada de P&D da Petrobras com a UFRN. Trata-se de um estudo de caso em que se procurou investigar se o modelo de coopera??o estabelecido pelas duas institui??es agrega inova??o, se gera conhecimento t?cnico-cient?fico e se contribui para a articula??o com outros atores locais na promo??o da inova??o tecnol?gica. Al?m da pesquisa documental os dados necess?rios ? an?lise foram obtidos atrav?s do envio de question?rios aos coordenadores de projetos de P&D da empresa e da universidade. Tamb?m foram realizadas entrevistas com sujeitos que participaram do processo estudado desde o seu in?cio at? os dias atuais. Este estudo de caso foi analisado teoricamente atrav?s da Vis?o de Recursos e de Redes Interorganizacionais. Os dados amostrais tamb?m permitiram observar que: as pesquisas estavam alinhadas ao planejamento estrat?gico da empresa e que 29% dos projetos de P&D tiveram sucesso quanto ao alcance dos objetivos propostos (dos quais 11% foram incorporados aos processos da empresa); que foi produzido conhecimento t?cnico-cient?fico registrado por centenas de publica??es nacionais e internacionais, teses, disserta??es, onze patentes, e por inova??es tecnol?gicas radicais e incrementais; que a parceria tamb?m trouxe benef?cios aos processos acad?micos induzidos pela melhoria na infraestrutura da UFRN e pela mudan?a de atitude da universidade (atualmente com destaque nacional na pesquisa e forma??o de quadros para o setor petr?leo). Quanto ao modelo, do ponto de vista t?cnico, embora tenha alguns problemas, deduz-se que ele ? adequado. Do ponto de vista de gest?o o modelo ? criticado por conter um excesso de burocracia. Do ponto de vista estrat?gico a destina??o dos recursos oriundos do marco legal necessita ser reavaliada, pois est? focada somente no n?vel superior e entende-se que deva chegar tamb?m ao ensino m?dio dada ? nova realidade do setor petr?leo no Brasil. Para isso ? desej?vel agregar o poder p?blico local na parceria. O conjunto das informa??es levam ? concluir que o modelo identificado e nomeado ? uma inova??o de arranjo organizacional aqui denominado de Gest?o Compartilhada de P&D em Petr?leo da Petrobras com a UFRN. Afirma-se que o modelo de Gest?o Compartilhada ? poss?vel existir, que ? uma forma simples e eficaz para o gerenciamento de parcerias entre empresas e Institui??es de Ci?ncia e Tecnologia. Ele foi criado por conting?ncias decorrentes do marco regulat?rio e por depend?ncia de recursos. A parceria ? resultante de um processo de Converg?ncia, Constru??o e Avalia??o apoiado no trip? Simplicidade, Sistematiza??o e Continuidade, fatores importantes para a sua consolida??o. Na pr?tica foi constru?do um arranjo organizacional inovador para gerir parcerias universidade-empresa que ? definido por uma rela??o di?dica em dois n?veis (institucional e t?cnico, portanto a governan?a ? h?brida), por reuni?es de medi??o trimestrais sistem?ticas padronizadas e contrapartida financeira proporcional ao avan?o da pesquisa. Estes detalhes conduziram ao estabelecimento de um ponto de intera??o entre as dimens?es cient?fica e tecnol?gica-empresarial, desmitificando que sejam dois mundos distantes

Cette recherche doctorale s’intéresse à la gestion de la précarité par les collectivités territoriales, au travers des relations nouées avec le tissu associatif local. L’exploration théorique de ces liens conduit tout d’abord à relever la triple contribution de ces relations inter-organisationnelles à la gestion locale de la précarité (une aide aux précaires plus complète, un meilleur repérage de la précarité, un meilleur savoir et savoir-faire en matière de publics précaires). Elle conduit ensuite à relever l’importance des interactions entre la nature de la relation collectivité territoriale – associations (au travers des comportements d’engagement et de confiance qui la définissent) et les modes de contrôle inter-organisationnel mobilisés dans ces relations. L’influence de ces interactions sur la force de la contribution des relations observées à la lutte contre la précarité est alors révélée. La recherche empirique conduit à s’intéresser plus particulièrement aux relations nouées entre une mairie française et les associations qu’elle subventionne afin de pallier la précarité sur son territoire. Une démarche qualitative reposant sur l’analyse de contenu d’entretiens semi-directifs permet de dépeindre largement leurs liens. Une classification hiérarchique des relations étudiées permet d'aboutir à une typologie en trois familles des relations mairie-associations dans la gestion locale de la précarité. / This dissertation focuses on relationships between local authorities and local associations as a means of dealing with precariousness. The theoretical exploration of these partnerships leads us firstly to point out the triple contribution of those inter-organizational relationships to the local management of precariousness (in the form of more complete support for precarious people, better identification of precariousness, and better knowledge and expertise concerning the precarious public). It then brings us to highlight the importance of interactions between the nature of the relationship of local authorities with local associations (through commitment-trust behaviors) and the inter-organizational forms of control used in those relationships. Those interactions’ influence on the contribution’s strength of the observed relationships to the local management of precariousness is then revealed. The empirical research concentrates on the relationships between a French municipality and its associations to overcome precariousness on their territory. A qualitative approach based on a content analysis of semi-directive interviews helps paint an accurate picture of their links. A hierarchical classification of the studied relationships allows to end in a typology in three families of French municipality-associations relationships in the local management of precariousness.

In this work, an approach based on Deadlock avoidance of Interorganizational Work-Flow nets is proposed to deal with these situations. Interorganizational business processes are modeled by Interorganizational WorkFlow nets. Deadlock situations in interorganizational business processes come generally related to losses during message exchanges between several business processes. Within the Petri net theory, a Deadlock situation is characterized by the presence of a siphon that can be empty. After detecting and controlling the Siphon structures that lead to Deadlock situations in Interorganizational WorkFlow nets, a method for the design of Interorganizational WorkFlow nets free of Deadlock is proposed. In particular, the basic principle is to dene new Work- Flow nets shared among the original work ow processes that allow one to remove the scenarios responsible for the Deadlocks. / Neste trabalho e proposta uma abordagem baseada na prevenção de deadlocks em WorkFlow nets Interorganizacionais para lidar com situações dessa natureza. Processos de negocio interorganizacionais são modelados por work ows interorganizacionais. Situações de deadlock nos processos de negocio interorganizacionais geralmente estão relacionadas a perdas durante trocas de mensagens entre varios processos de negocio. Dentro da teoria das redes de Petri, uma situação de deadlock e caracterizada pela presenca de um sifão que pode car vazio. Depois de detectar e controlar as estruturas de sifão que levam as situações de deadlock nas WorkFlow nets Interorganizacionais, e proposta uma arquitetura distribuda para modelar as WorkFlow nets Interorganizacionais livre de deadlock. Em particular, o princpio basico consiste em denir novas WorkFlow nets compartilhadas entre os work ows originais que permitem remover os cenarios responsaveis pelos deadlocks. / Mestre em Ciência da Computação

The General Objective of this study is investigate and analyze the possible points that highlight the adherence of the Interorganizational Cost Management (ICM), in the production chain of sugar cane, for the management of the total costs in a sugarcane mill in the Triangulo Mineiro, hereby named Destak Mill. The research was characterized as follows: concerning its nature, how applied; concerning its objective, how exploited; concerning procedures, as a study of a unique case; and, concerning the problem, as qualitative. For the study of this case a method of semi-structured research and interviews was applied, after which transcription of the same, and analysis of contents. For validation of this case study, a process of triangulation of methods for bibliographic survey was used, besides documental research and unsystematic observation. After having carried out these methods the result presented demonstrated a non-formal existence in a ICM at Destak Mill, but in an informal restricted manner showing some factors with made impossible its effective application as a Strategic Cost Management (SCM) in management of total costs. In conformity with the categories analyzed, certain indications concerning adherence to the ICM in the process of management of total costs, observed in relationship variables (interdependence, co-operation, trust and stability/mutual benefits), however there was a lack of sharing cost information in a strategic manner. Therefore, since we are dealing with a mill that is still being developed, once it reaches its maximum productive capacity we must point out, for future studies, a possible change in results in mills at different life cycles. / O presente estudo tem como Objetivo Geral investigar e analisar os possíveis aspectos que evidenciam a aderência da GCI, na cadeia produtiva da cana-de-açúcar, para o gerenciamento dos custos totais, em uma usina de cana-de-açúcar no Triângulo Mineiro, aqui denominada como Usina Destak. A pesquisa foi assim caracterizada: quanto à sua natureza, como aplicada; quanto ao objetivo, como exploratória; quanto aos procedimentos, como estudo de caso único; e, quanto ao problema, como qualitativa. Para o estudo de caso, utilizou-se como método de pesquisa a entrevista semiestruturada, procedendo-se, posteriormente, à transcrição da mesma e análise de conteúdo. Para validação do estudo de caso, realizou-se o processo de triangulação dos métodos de levantamento bibliográfico, além de pesquisa documental e observação assistemática. Depois de realizados os métodos, o resultado apresentado demonstra a não existência formal de uma GCI na Usina Destak, mas, sim, de uma maneira informal e restrita, apresentando alguns fatores que impossibilitam a sua efetiva aplicação como instrumento da Gestão Estratégica de Custos (GEC) no gerenciamento dos custos totais. Em conformidade com as categorias analisadas, evidenciaram-se certos indícios quanto à aderência da GCI no processo de gerenciamento dos custos totais, observados nas variáveis de relacionamento (interdependência, cooperação, confiança e estabilidade/benefícios mútuos), porém falta compartilhamento de informações de custos de forma estratégica. Assim, como se trata de uma usina que ainda se encontra em fase de desenvolvimento, chegando à sua capacidade máxima produtiva, cabe apontar, para estudos futuros, uma possível mudança de resultados em usinas de diferentes ciclos de vida. / Mestre em Ciências Contábeis

Esta dissertação analisa a autonomia municipal na implementação de programas federais. Partiu-se da teoria sobre relações intergovernamentais no Brasil e implementação de políticas públicas para analisar a implementação do Mais Educação/Ministério da Educação (MEC) no Município de São Paulo, considerando o período de 2011 a 2016. Para realizar a análise, foi construído um quadro analítico que considera elementos topdown e bottom-up das teorias de implementação de políticas públicas. Foram considerados o desenho da política federal e o desenho da política municipal, incluindo seus incentivos institucionais, as relações interorganizacionais e a burocracia de médio escalão (BME). O método da pesquisa foi o estudo de caso único, operacionalizado empiricamente por meio de análise documental e de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Foram analisados o desenho do programa federal, a implementação dos programas municipais de expansão da jornada de ensino e as características do Mais Educação/MEC na rede de ensino. Verificamos que os programas municipais influenciaram a implementação da política federal por trazerem uma série de incentivos institucionais a este programa. Além disso, verificamos que o município levou cerca de 3 anos para construir outros incentivos institucionais para a implementação do programa federal em sua rede de ensino, conseguindo, assim, coordenar o programa. De 2011 a 2014, a adesão das unidades escolares ao programa foi marcada por diferenças inter-regionais, sobretudo de 2011 a 2013. Como principais conclusões, a pesquisa mostra que o Município de São Paulo construiu um arranjo de implementação colegiado junto ao MEC por ter criado uma série de incentivos institucionais para a implementação do programa federal em sua rede de ensino; e que a atuação empreendedora de parte da BME explica, pelo menos em parte, as diferenças inter-regionais em um contexto de pouca coordenação por parte da SME / This dissertation analyzes municipal autonomy in the implementation of federal programs. It was based on the theory of intergovernmental relations in Brazil and the implementation of public policies to analyze the implementation of More Education/Ministry of Education (MEC) in the city of São Paulo, considering the period from 2011 to 2016. To carry out the analysis, an analytical framework that considers topdown and bottom-up elements of public policy implementation theories. The design of the federal policy and the design of the municipal policy, including its institutional incentives, interorganizational relations and the middle-level bureaucracy (MLB) were considered. The research method was the single case study, operationalized empirically through documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews. The design of the federal program, the implementation of the municipal programs of expansion of the teaching day and the characteristics of the More Education/MEC in the education network were analyzed. We verified that the municipal programs influenced the implementation of the federal policy by bringing a series of institutional incentives to this program. In addition, we found that the municipality took about 3 years to build other institutional incentives for the implementation of the federal program in its educational network, thus managing to coordinate the program. From 2011 to 2014, school units membership of the program was marked by interregional differences, especially from 2011 to 2013. As a key finding, the survey shows that the Municipality of São Paulo has built a collegial implementation arrangement with the MEC for having created A series of institutional incentives for the implementation of the federal program in its educational network; and that entrepreneurial activity on the part of BME explains, at least in part, the interregional differences in a context of little coordination by the SME

The business networks have emerged as a new organizational setting in order to increase the competitiveness of companies and as alternative to achieve their goals. Some studies show that cooperation between the companies involved in network, generate benefits through the exchange of information and knowledge. The analysis of learning strategies used by organizations can result in a better way of understanding in which learning takes place the cooperation networks. This study investigates which the conditions for waste pickers cooperatives learn how participants Catabahia network, and identify the main reasons for that cooperatives integrate the network, verify the interorganizational learning strategies adopted by cooperatives, types of knowledge learned and the benefits from the network learning process. The research strategy adopted was the single case study, with data collection in 9 cooperatives, considered as small units of analysis: members of Catabahia Network. To collect data, it was used a semi-structured interview guide, applied with representatives and technicians of cooperatives. In addition to, we used the techniques of documentary analysis and direct observation. From the analysis of the data was verified that cooperatives join the network as a way to formalize and get benefits. As for learning strategies, it was found that cooperatives adopt a collaborative behavior, commitment strategies, collaboration and accommodation. Regarding the types of knowledge, it is observed that cooperatives have a tacit knowledge of previous experience, and get explicit knowledge through training and training received by the technicians. The results indicate that the main benefits generated by learning were: the development of managerial skills and representation, capacity to participate in tenders and projects and identify more clearly the needs of cooperatives. / As redes de empresas surgiram como uma nova configuração organizacional com a finalidade de ampliar a capacidade competitiva das empresas integrantes e como alternativa para alcançar seus objetivos. Estudos mostram que a cooperação entre as empresas que participam em rede geram benefícios por meio da troca de informações e de conhecimentos. A análise das estratégias de aprendizagem utilizadas pelas organizações pode resultar na melhor compreensão das formas como acontece a aprendizagem dentro das redes de cooperação. Este estudo buscou analisar quais as condições para que as cooperativas de catadores de material reciclável aprendam como participantes da Rede Catabahia, assim como identificar as principais motivações para que as cooperativas se integrem à rede, verificar as estratégias de aprendizagem interorganizacional adotadas pelas cooperativas, os tipos de conhecimentos aprendidos e os benefícios advindos do processo de aprendizagem em rede. A estratégia de pesquisa adotada foi o estudo de caso único, com coleta de dados em 9 cooperativas, consideradas como sub unidades de análise, integrantes da Rede Catabahia. Para a coleta de dados, foi utilizado um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado, aplicado junto aos representantes e técnicos das cooperativas. De forma adicional foram utilizadas as técnicas de análise documental e de observação direta. A partir da análise dos dados foi possível verificar que as cooperativas ingressam na rede como uma maneira para se formalizarem e obter benefícios. Quanto às estratégias de aprendizagem, verificou-se que as cooperativas adotam um comportamento colaborativo, estratégias de compromisso, colaboração e acomodação. Com relação aos tipos de conhecimento, observa-se que as cooperativas possuem um conhecimento tácito das experiências anteriores, e obtém conhecimento explícito por meio do treinamento e capacitação recebida por parte dos técnicos. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que os principais benefícios gerados com a aprendizagem foram: o desenvolvimento de habilidades gerencias e de representação, capacidade de participação em editais e projetos e identificar com maior clareza as necessidades das cooperativas. / São Cristóvão, SE
