A proliferação de dispositivos móveis e os avanços da rede wireless criaram uma sociedade sempre conectada, para Shen et al. (2012). Essa sociedade possibilitada pelas tecnologias móveis incorporadas no cotidiano da população apresenta novas formas de interação entre os indivíduos, entre organizações e colaboradores. Assim, não basta somente desenvolver soluções para a entrega de informações de forma ubíqua e sensível ao contexto; também é necessário compreender, de forma mais profunda, como os indivíduos reagem a esse uso e como isso afeta seu trabalho e o resultado das tomadas de decisão (JUNGES, KLEIN e BARBOSA, 2013). Partindo de estudos recentes sobre o gestor moderno e sua atuação em um contexto de tecnologias móveis, foi delimitada esta Dissertação. O trabalho buscou responder à pergunta: Como as tecnologias móveis têm influenciado as decisões gerenciais do cotidiano na percepção dos gestores do agronegócio? A natureza da pesquisa proposta foi definida como exploratória, e a abordagem dos dados escolhida foi a qualitativa, e foi delimitada a coleta de dados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. A análise de dados foi realizada por meio da navegação dos dados utilizando-se o conjunto coletado com os oito (8) gestores, por meio da análise de conteúdo. O que se pode concluir, com base nas entrevistas, é que os entrevistados realmente utilizam tecnologias móveis no seu cotidiano. Os entrevistados relataram que utilizam as seis características do portfólio de serviços móveis: Conectividade, Intimidade, Prioridade, Pervasividade, Memória, e Portabilidade, baseado em Sorensen (2011). Dessa forma, a tecnologia móvel se apresenta como incorporada no cotidiano dos gestores do agronegócio entrevistados, com muitas vantagens relatadas pelos entrevistados, como também desvantagens e problemas, como comunicação e obtenção de informações constantes, e problemas de conexão. / The proliferation of mobile devices and advances in wireless networking have created a society that is always connected, according to Shen et al. (2012). This society is made possible by mobile technologies incorporated in the population‘s present new ways of interaction between individuals, between organizations and employees, resulting in possibly major changes in our society. Thus, it is not enough to develop solutions for the delivery of information and ubiquitous context-sensitive devices, it is also necessary to understand, in more depth, how individuals react to such use and how it affects their work and the result of their decisions, for Junges, Klein and Barbosa (2013). Building on recent studies of the modern manager and his performance in the context of mobile Technologies, it was delimited this study aimed to increase knowledge in the area. The study sought to answer the question: How mobile technologies have influenced everyday management decisions through the perception of managers of agribusiness? The nature of the proposed research was defined as exploratory and the data approach chosen was qualitative, and the data collection occurred through semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was performed by using the navigation data collected using eight (8) managers, by analyzing the content set. What can one conclude from the interviews is that the respondents use mobile technologies in their specific everyday life. Respondents reported using the six characteristics of the of mobile services portfolio: Connectivity, Intimacy, Priority, Pervasiveness, Memory, Portability, based on Sorensen (2011). Thus, mobile technology presents itself as embedded in everyday life for the agribusiness managers interviewed, with many advantages reported by respondents as well as disadvantages and problems, access to communication and information at any time and problems with connection.

The focus of this thesis is an identification and analysis of problems which have occurred till now in the cooperation between two chosen organizations, followed by problem solution proposals. Methodology of two sociologists Charles H. Kepner and Benjamin B. Tregoe will be used to undertake this analysis. The thesis is divided in two parts, theoretical and practical. The aim of the theoretical part is to define the various concepts that will be used in this work, such as the Kepner-Tregoe methodology or definition of a problem. The practical part is oriented on the analysis of the cooperation of the chosen organizations and the problems that have occurred with the use of the mentioned methodology. The purpose of the thesis is to propose possible solutions and chose the most appropriate.

The master thesis deals with managerial decision-making, more specifically with the multi-criteria evaluation of alternatives under risk for the GAMACZ.CZ company, which currently solves problem of low profitability. The aim of the thesis is to define the decision-making objective(s), determine the set of evaluation criteria, identify potentially successful alternatives, determine their impacts and finally evaluate alternatives and recommend the most suitable one for the company. For the purpose of the multi-criteria evaluation with risk integration the author uses the Weighted Sum Approach. On the basis of these methods the most suitable option together with suggestions of implementation are proposed to the company and the reality check is executed.

The thesis focuses on rationality in decisions by managers. The terms rationality, irrationality and bounded rationality are defined in the first part. The current state of knowledge on the concept of bounded rationality in decision making is then followed by a specific consideration of managerial decision making. The chosen bounded rationality effects, including heuristics, are also described. The purpose of the second part of this study is to examine experimentally the differential uses of heuristics among the students of the Faculty of Management relative to completion of the Managerial Decision Making course. The effect of time to use of heuristics is examined as well.

Thesis using the tools of managerial decision making described in the theoretical part sets recommendation for problem solution of changing the corporate office of Megatrans.

Many features of the making of major managerial decisions have been covered by research - complexity, politicality, innovations, and so forth. Yet one - to which all others may be subject - remains almost untouched by research. It is the effects of societal culture on the way managers from different nations make, and implement, such decisions. This study compares the effects of a New World Latin dominated culture with those of an Old World Anglo-Saxon dominated culture, namely in Brazil and England respectively. It arises from the proposition that decision making, as well as other managerial practices, must be shaped by the cultures of the societies of which senior executives are part, in ways of which they themselves may be unaware. Methodologically, in response to the criticisms of earlier research which often attributed managerial and organizational differences to culture without direct evidence for that, this study began by composing portrayals of both cultures. The purpose of the portraits was to enable predictions of culturally affected elements in decision making, prior to empirical investigation. Data was collected by interview on twenty Brazilian and twenty English decisions in sixteen Brazilian and seventeen English organizations, ranging through a variety of manufacturing and service industries as well as universities. The examination of the results confirmed most of the predicted cultural characteristics. Differences although small on each variable were remarkably consistent across all variables. Brazilian strategic decision making was found to be dominated by a clique around the chief executive, who make fast decisions in a process strongly based on the social relationships between the participants. This style of decision making leads, in Brazil, to very informal processes, with little or no delays and, relatively speaking, less search for information. English decisions were found to be more consultative with more interests being involved in different stages of the process. Decisions in this country were characterized by caution and conservatism with some tendency to postpone decisions. Methodologically, the value of the prior conceptualization and description of societal culture is demonstrated since this gives meaning to the extensive differences found in all aspects of decision making. Theoretically, an attempt is made to elucidate the interconnectedness of societal culture and managerial behaviour.

Information is the key for managers to make well-informed decisions. In recent years, technological advancements have been developed which made it possible for organizations to store and manage large quantities of data. Business intelligence is used to structure and narrow down data in order to acquire relevant information which could assist managers. BI is formed by a variety of systems and concepts which are interconnected and can work simultaneously. Furthermore, it was found that there are claims implying that BI can assist in the decision making of an organization. The following research will focus on how does business intelligence does that, with a specific emphasis on marketing managers working on large business-to-business organizations. Following a qualitative research with an exploratory approach, comparing relevant literature with the results obtained from ten performed interviews. Where it was observed how BI helps managers through providing useful and selected information.
