Esta tese aborda os indícios da reestruturação produtiva em cidades médias do Oeste Paulista (Araçatuba, Birigui, Presidente Prudente, Marília e São José do Rio Preto). Buscamos analisar as transformações ocorridas na gestão e organização do processo produtivo, bem como no trabalho, segundo o porte das empresas industriais localizadas nessas cidades médias e suas repercussões nas condições de trabalho. A indústria dessas cidades médias tem sua gênese no capital local de origem familiar mantendo uma relação estreita, com a dinâmica agropecuária até conhecer profundas transformações, com a reestruturação produtiva, particularmente após os anos 1990 com a abertura econômica. Essas transformações vão provocar alteração na estrutura produtiva industrial regional com o surgimento de novos ramos industriais de maior uso de tecnologia, como o de química de produtos farmacêuticos. As transformações industriais na gestão e organização do processo produtivo e do trabalho apresentam graus de intensidades diferentes, resultante da própria reestruturação industrial recente. Dessa forma, quanto maior o porte da empresa, maior é a intensidade de transformação. Tais mudanças implicam em alterações nas condições de trabalho, como crescimento do trabalho informal, terceirizado, temporário e autônomo. / This thesis approaches the indexes of productive restructuralization in middle cities in the western São Paulo (Araçatuba, Birigui, Presidente Prudente, Marília, e São José do Rio Preto). We aim at analyzing the changes occurred in the administration and organization of the productive process, as well as the work, according to the size of these industries placed in the above-mentioned cities and their repercussions to the work conditions. The industry of these cities have its genesis in the local capital of family origins, maintaining a strict relation with the agropecuary dynamics until suffering deep changes, due to the productive restructuralization, particularly after the 1990s with the economic opening. These transformations happened to cause alterations in the regional productive structure as new and more technological industrial areas arose, such as the chemistry of pharmaceutical products. The industrial transformations in the administration and organization of the productive and work process show different levels of intensity, as a result of the recent industrial restructuralization itself. Thus, the bigger the industry, the bigger its intensity of transformation. Such transformations entail alterations in the work conditions, as the growth of informal, outsourced, temporary and autonomous work.

This thesis deals with the analysis of two strategic business units of the company Lexmark and based on this analysis I recommend which SBU should continue in operation and which one should be closed. As a tool for recommendation I use the general company environment analysis by the MAP method, the industrial environment analysis applying Porter´s model with the ETOP method, the analysis of internal factors by the SAP method and the stakeholders analysis. I use the SWOT analysis for summarization. The first part is dedicated to the theory of strategic management. The next part is practical. I present the company Lexmark, describe the analysis and summarize the analysis results. I recommend the company restructuralization based on the analysis including the expectations of restructuralization, cost savings and cost, with focus on the critical factors and the process of restructuralization.
