O estudo utilizou como base teórica a Teoria da dependência de Recursos (TDR). Foi realizado um estudo de caso único de natureza exploratória e descritiva com abordagem qualitativa dos dados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. A unidade de análise foi uma rede do setor supermercadista formada pela intercooperação de outras oito redes com sede em Pacatuba (CE). As evidências apontaram para a ocorrência de cinco antecedentes: dificuldade de negociação, necessidade de aumentar o poder de barganha, necessidade de visibilidade, existência de um grande número de associações e comportamento rival entre redes. Já o processo de intercooperação apresentou as seguintes fases: identificação e seleção de possíveis parceiros, realização da primeira reunião com os interessados, articulação de estratégia para integração do grupo e a implementação de ajustes e adequações. Como resultados da intercooperação emergiram: geração de um encarte mensal unificado, visibilidade, aquisição de produtos com preços competitivos, acesso a maior variedade ou quantidade de produtos, troca de informações e aprendizado, sede própria e unificada, redução de custos com a compra em conjunto de insumos, campanhas de marketing de grande porte, distribuição anual de valores financeiros. Foi possível verificar ainda algumas dificuldades no decorrer do processo de intercooperação: a desconfiança inicial sobre a viabilidade do negócio, a resistência para com a padronização das fachadas e a dificuldade para a implantação do centro de distribuição. A partir das análises foi possível contribuir de três formas: primeiro, teoricamente, diminuindo a escassez de pesquisas com foco em processo de formação interorganizacional, assim como, a carência de estudos abordando redes de empresas com múltiplos atores sob o enfoque da TDR. Em segundo lugar, gerencialmente, visto que a pesquisa aponta caminhos para o auxílio à eficácia da gestão e coordenação de redes. Em terceiro lugar, no aspecto social já que o conhecimento agregado pode auxiliar positivamente na formação de novas redes que por sua vez podem melhorar emprego e renda de determinada localidade. / Given the relevance of the scale gain through growth strategies of corporate networks for competitiveness, consolidation and longevity of such organizations, this study aimed to analyze the strategy of mutual cooperation between corporate networks: its antecedents, process and results. The study used as theoretical basis the Resource dependence theory (RDT). It was conducted an exploratory and descriptive single-subject case study, with a qualitative approach of data by means of semi-structured interviews. The unit of analysis was a supermarket net formed by mutual cooperation of eight other networks headquartered in Pacatuba (CE). The evidence pointed to the occurrence of five antecedents: Difficulty to negotiate, need for increased bargaining power, need for visibility, the existence of a large number of associations and competitive behaviour among networks. The mutual cooperation process presented the following steps: identification and selection of potential partners, the holding of the first meeting with stakeholders, the linking of strategy for integration of the group, and the implementation of adjustments and adaptations. As a result of the mutual cooperation, appeared: generation of a unified monthly booklet, visibility; purchase of products with competitive prices, access to a greater variety or quantity of products, exchange of information and learning, own and unified headquarters, costs reduction with the joint purchasing of inputs, great marketing campaigns, annual distribution of financial values. It was possible to verify some difficulties during the process of mutual cooperation: initial scepticism about the viability of the business, the resistance to the standardization of the façades, and the difficulty for the implementation of the distribution center. From the analysis it was possible to contribute in three ways: First theoretically, reducing the shortage of research with a focus on inter-organizational formation process, as well as the lack of studies addressing corporate networks with multiple actors under the focus of RDT. Secondly in a management way, as the research points ways to support the effectiveness of management and coordination of networks. Thirdly in the social aspect, since the aggregate knowledge can assist positively in the formation of new networks, which in turn can improve employment and income in a particular location.

Dispute over the sovereignty of Diaoyu Islands (Senkaku Islands) implicates peace in East Asia. These islands were under Chinese control for five hundred years in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and were used as sailing coordinates for imperial Chinese missions to the ancient Ryūkyū Kingdom and as part of national defense. Under the control of the Qing Dynasty, the Diaoyu Islands were affiliated with Taiwan. In 1894, the Qing was defeated by Japanese in the Sino-Japanese War and was forced to secede Taiwan and its surrounding islands to Japan in 1985. After World War II, the Diaoyu islands were under the United States¡¦ occupation. In 1972, the United States reverted administrative control over these islands to Japan. The Diaoyu Islands have so far been separated from the Chinese rule for over a century. Due to the intervention of the United States, the Diaoyu Islands were not returned to China or Taiwan after the defeat of Japan in 1945. In the 21st Century, as the resources on earth are gradually depleted, the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands has become a ferocious competition among China, Japan, and Taiwan due to its rich ocean resources. At present, the islands are under de facto control by Japan; resolution of the problem has troubled Taiwan, China, and Japan. On September 7, 2010, ¡§Minjin Fishing Boat No. 5179¡¨ collided with Japanese Coast Guard patrol boats. This thesis uses this incident as a case to study the Sino-Japanese conflict on the Diaoyu Islands.

The aim of this study was to investigate the management strategies conducive to establishing constructive discipline for optimal learning. The study represented a case study conducted in a primary school in the Empangeni district of KwaZulu-Natal. An in-depth literature study was followed by an empirical investigation based on a qualitative research design employing focus group and individual interviews. The research findings revealed that optimal learning is achieved through effective classroom management practices promoting constructive discipline. A classroom environment in which constructive discipline prevails includes the organisation of the physical environment in a functional way, the consideration of instructional strategies such as teachers being well-prepared for the lesson, as well as class routines and procedures being well communicated. Based on the findings of the empirical investigation, and concurring with the findings from literature, recommendations were made regarding classroom management strategies for constructive discipline in order to arrange for optimal learning. / Educational Leadership and Management / M.

The Fourth Republic fell sort of expectations of French nation. The institutional system based on predominance of political parties could guarantee neither inner stability nor the return of France to the world political power. Weaknesses of French governments and their inability to cope with the serious political and economic issues resulted in collapse of the Fourth Republic in spring 1958. Some months later a new political system was established. It enabled to give France back its grandeur and independence. The first decade of the Fifth Republic, closely connected with the personality of President Charles de Gaulle, was greatly affected by the Algerian War of Independence in consequence of which all social and political spheres of the country were impacted. The Evian Agreements of March 1962 established an independent Algeria and enabled Charles de Gaulle to carry out his own political conception, including greater openness to the Soviet Union and its satellites. Czechoslovak-French diplomatic and cultural relations in the years 1948-1968 correspond to large extent extent to the evolution of international policy with its alternation of easing and tightening of the geopolitical tension and they also reflect the changes in domectic political situation in both countries. Since 1948 the Czechoslovak...
