A partir desta constatação, este trabalho tem como objetivo principal compreender quais foram os fatores determinantes para que o Banco do Brasil tomasse a decisão estratégica de incrementar, via aquisição de um banco, sua posição na Argentina, em detrimento de mercados de maior porte e potencial econômico. Adicionalmente o trabalho analisa as influências do ambiente institucional Argentino no processo de internacionalização do banco para aquele país. O referencial teórico se baseia nas teorias clássicas de internacionalização de empresas e suas aplicações à internacionalização de bancos, com estudos feitos principalmente em economias desenvolvidas e com bancos privados. Através de um estudo de caso único, este trabalho levanta especificidades e idiossincrasias presentes na internacionalização de um banco estatal de grande porte, a partir de um país emergente para outro país emergente. A aquisição de um banco na Argentina foi a primeira investida deste tipo para o Banco do Brasil que, desde 1941 vinha praticando uma internacionalização baseada na abertura de escritórios, agências e estabelecimento de subsidiárias no exterior. Esta pesquisa demonstra quais foram os fatores determinantes para esta mudança no comportamento estratégico de internacionalização: A vontade do governo à época como acionista controlador, a crise financeira internacional, os movimentos dos concorrentes e consequente necessidade de proteção da base de clientes e as limitações impostas pelo modelo de crescimento orgânico. Após a tomada de decisão de alteração no modo de entrada, o banco optou por analisar possíveis mercados na América do Sul. Foram fatores determinantes para este recorte geográfico: O gigantismo do BB na região, a pretensão do acionista controlador e a menor distância psíquica percebida em relação a outras regiões geográficas. Já a opção pela Argentina, para implementação da estratégia de aquisição, teve como fatores determinantes: a menor distância psíquica percebida, a presença de empresas brasileiras, a necessidade de proteção da base de clientes, o fluxo comercial, o potencial do agronegócio no país, fatores geopolíticos, o retorno sobre o investimento e a experiência prévia no mercado Argentino. Após analisadas as influências do ambiente institucional argentino no processo de internacionalização do Banco para aquele país, encontrou-se que o BB, sendo uma empresa proveniente de um país emergente, acredita que sabe lidar com ambientes instáveis. Adicionalmente, os executivos da instituição acreditam no fortalecimento das instituições Argentinas no longo prazo.

Institutional or not? : Municipally-Owned Enterprises’ Quest forLegitimacy among Stakeholders andConflicting Goals

Elfgren, Oscar, Persson, Magdalena January 2019 (has links)
Purpose: While research on state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have been lagging, even less can be found on municipally-owned enterprises (MOEs). The authors intend to use literature covering SOEs and apply them on MOEs in an analogue fashion. This study aims to uncover similarities and differences between the two aforementioned types of public ownership and contribute to the field of MOEs. This would allow for future researchers of MOEs to know in what way previous findings on SOEs is accurate and where extra caution must be placed. The authors will also consider the implications of institutional theory and how this can be used to understand the reality MOEs find themselves in. Design/methodology/approach: The authors has employed a qualitative approach where eleven MOEs have been interviewed. All of the eleven enterprises were located in the Swedish province of Värmland. The interviews were conducted in a semi-structured fashion and the analysis was achieved through a mix of selective and open coding. Findings: Enterprises matched expectations from stakeholders, where higher demands were met with greater social care and lower expectations facilitated a business approach. Furthermore, enterprises viewed their owners as the most important stakeholders and were willing to make decisions that favored them, even if other stakeholder groups disbenefit from this. Furthermore, a combination of actively searching for legitimacy and relying on institutional theory was employed by the MOEs, which could possibly contribute to institutional theory. Research limitations/implications for future research: Further research into these matters are of interest to build on the understanding of SOEs and apply them to MOEs. It is suggested to conduct a study including MOEs of greater size, as most organizations included in this study were too small to ‘successfully’ implement non-acquiescence matters such as decoupling and mission drift. Furthermore, a case-study of a single organization would perhaps shed some light on this matter, as this study’s focus on eleven enterprises has a bit of a tendency to only scratch the surface.

In order to reach the objectives, the methodology chosen was qualitative, where the first step is an exploratory study, where a case study was carried out in one of the four state-owned companies investigated by CGU in 2016, the "Alfa Company" and one second stage, where a single CGU case study was conducted, through semi-structured interviews with the coordinators of two areas: General Coordination of State Audit of Logistics and Services Sectors (CGLOG) and General Coordination of Institutional Development (CODIN) . For the analysis of the results obtained in the empirical research, the Social Systems Theory of Niklas Luhmann was chosen, besides bringing concepts of Complexity Theory for its better understanding. The results show that the CGU has some characteristics of the environment, when it irritates, disturbs and helps the stateowned when it provides rules and guidelines for the implementation of these programs, as a complex social system, when it closes operationally for the construction of its own mechanisms and structures of integrity. An attempt was made to build an organizational culture to combat corruption and create integrity mechanisms and procedures. The research has undergone changes of scenery in its course, making its analyzes even more complex. / Essa disserta????o tem como objetivos interpretar os processos de implanta????o dos programas de integridade de empresas estatais reguladas pelo Minist??rio da Transpar??ncia e Controladoria Geral da Uni??o (CGU) sob uma perspectiva sist??mica, identificando as intera????es nos processos relacionais de controle interno e analisando os dois polos, CGU e estatais, como sistemas sociais. Para o alcance dos objetivos, a metodologia escolhida foi de car??ter qualitativo em que a primeira etapa ?? composta por uma pesquisa explorat??ria, na qual foi realizado um estudo de caso em uma das quatro estatais investigadas pela CGU em 2016, a ???Empresa Alfa??? e uma segunda etapa, em que foi realizado um estudo de caso ??nico da CGU, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com os coordenadores de duas ??reas: Coordena????o Geral de Auditoria de Estatais dos Setores de Log??stica e Servi??os (CGLOG) e Coordena????o Geral de Desenvolvimento Institucional (CODIN). Para a an??lise dos resultados obtidos na pesquisa emp??rica, foi escolhida a Teoria dos Sistemas Sociais de Niklas Luhmann, al??m de trazer conceitos da Teoria da Complexidade para sua melhor compreens??o. Os resultados mostram que a CGU possui caracter??sticas ora de ambiente, quando irrita, perturba e ajuda as estatais quando fornece normas e diretrizes para a implanta????o desses programas, ora de sistema social complexo, quando se fecha operacionalmente para a constru????o de seus pr??prios mecanismos e estruturas de integridade. Foi constatada a tentativa de constru????o de uma cultura organizacional de combate ?? corrup????o e cria????o de mecanismos e procedimentos integridade. A pesquisa sofreu mudan??as de cen??rio no seu percurso, tornando suas an??lises ainda mais complexas.

With the enactment of Law 13.303/2016, the subject has gained yet more relevance. Changes to the concept of public service entailed a deterioration of the abovementioned dichotomy, since the legal institute of authorization allows material activities to be rendered by the state under a private law regime. Being also possible the competition among different concessionaries. Moreover, stated-owned entities may perform other activities not encompassed by the dichotomy, such as internal supply of goods and services, fostering and construction of public works. Hence, it becomes necessary to revisit this topic, bringing new elements to precisely define the legal regime applicable to stateowned entities / O trabalho examina a consagrada dicotomia serviço público vs. atividade econômica, desenvolvida historicamente pela doutrina como critério para definir o regime jurídico das empresas estatais. Com a edição da Lei n.º 13.303/2016, o tema ganhou ainda mais importância. A alteração no conceito de serviço público ensejou desgaste da dicotomia, pois a figura da autorização permite o desempenho de prestações materiais pelo Estado sob regime de direito privado, com concorrência entre os prestadores, sendo possível, também, a concorrência entre diferentes concessionários. Ademais, as estatais podem desempenhar outras atividades que não se enquadram na dicotomia como o fornecimento interno de bens e serviços, fomento e construção de obras públicas. É necessária, pois, uma releitura do tema, agregando-se outros elementos para a correta aferição do regime jurídico das empresas estatais

To show our objective, as the public, non-state-owned sector, we will discuss the administration reform of Brazilian's State, with regard to transferring to the non public sector, normal operations that were the State s obligation before. To comprehend the reasoning of the public non-state-owned sector, it is based on Bresser Pereira and Anthony Giddens; and, trys to identify the diffusion of a new relationship between State and Civil Society. We propose to demonstrate that the public non-state-owned sector is an experiment to support one social project, that wants to maintain the capitalist process development, from a new concept of Civil Society, and, therefore, from other intervention of social area. We intend to show evidence that the public non-state-owned sector defends it s necessity for the Civil Society to take out the rights conquered by social movement. To be a collaborator in the insertion of this social project by the active involvement of people who bet on democratic potential of social foundations and Non-State-Owned Organizations. This research pretends to get the attention of the public non-stated-owned sector, which is a representation of common people who want to transform the society, split in class, into one harmonic and integrated society that works to commons objectives. We try to present the objectives of Director Plan of State Machine Reform, with regard to the public non-state-owned sector, are related to third way presuppose, cause. Both want to broadcast a new relationship between State and Civil Society, with the Civil Society ceasing to fight for your benefits and rights, and to go work in a cooperating regime with State, ensuring the domination and the class exploration. / O presente estudo trata da análise da relação entre o Estado e a Sociedade Civil após a inserção do público não-estatal anunciado no Plano Diretor da Reforma do Aparelho do Estado, em 1995. Com o intuito de vislumbrar nosso objeto, o setor público não-estatal, discutimos a reforma administrativa do Estado brasileiro no que concerne a transferência para o setor privado das funções antes exclusivas do Estado. Buscamos compreender os argumentos que fundamentam o público nãoestatal, sobretudo, os defendidos por Bresser Pereira e Anthony Giddens; e procuramos identificar a difusão de uma nova relação entre o Estado e a Sociedade Civil. Nosso pressuposto consiste em demonstrar que o setor público não-estatal reside numa tentativa de sustentar um projeto societal que visa manter o processo de desenvolvimento capitalista, a partir de um novo conceito de Sociedade Civil e, portanto, a partir de outras formas de intervenção na área social. Temos evidenciado que para os defensores do setor público não-estatal é de fundamental importância que a sociedade civil não apenas deixe para trás a luta por seus direitos conquistados por meio dos movimentos sociais, mas que a mesma também possa colaborar na inserção desse projeto societal pelo envolvimento ativo de pessoas que de uma maneira ou de outra possam apostar no potencial democratizante das diversas fundações sociais e Organizações Não Governamentais (ONGs). O estudo pretende chamar a atenção para o papel do setor público não-estatal, que partindo de uma representação de bem comum, procura transformar a sociedade cindida em classes em um todo harmônico e integrado em prol de objetivos comuns. Buscamos apresentar também que os objetivos do Plano Diretor de Reforma do Aparelho do Estado, no que concerne ao setor público não-estatal, estão relacionados com os pressupostos da terceira via, pois ambos procuram difundir uma nova relação entre Estado e Sociedade Civil, por meio da qual, a Sociedade Civil deixa de lutar por benefícios e por direitos, e passa a atuar em regime de cooperação com o Estado, colaborando e assegurando a dominação e a exploração de classe.

民營化對公營事業工會發展影響之研究-以中國石油化學股份有限公司民營化經驗為例 / The impact of privatization on State-owned enterprise's union

張玉如, Chang, Yu Ju Unknown Date (has links)
本文研究旨在探討民營化此一外在環境的變動對公營事業工會發展的影響。為求深入瞭解此一課題,因此,本文擬藉由當樂普(Dunlop)在一九五入年所提出的勞資關係系統研究法,建構本文的主要分析模型。而為彌補當樂普(Dunlop)勞資關係系統研究法的缺失,將對影響公營事業工會抗爭民營化的背景因素會有更廣泛的考量,包括政治、經濟、社會、法律層面;並對第一波實行民營化的中國石油化學股份有限公司,進行實地訪問,盡可能地將行為因素納入。而為了觀察公營事業工會左面臨民營化此一外在環境因素衝擊的變動過程,擬以約翰柏頓(John Burton)波提出的公營事業工會運作特質,做為一分析軸線來探討在民營化前後工會的轉變。此外,為瞭解公營事業工會勞動者如何在其某些勞動權利行使受限制的情況下,諸如團體協商範圍及爭議權行使的限制,採用何種集體行動策略,獲得談判協商的空間與時間,參與民營化員工權益的規劃過程,來保障工會所代表的勞動者權益。因此,藉由奧爾森(Olson)的集體行動模型與歐非(Offe)&威森梭(Wisential)的溝通邏輯,說明工會做為一利益團體如何凝聚會員之間的共識,採取有效的集體行動策略,達成會員的共同目標。此外,根據得他雷夫 楊(DEtlef Jahn)的兩種集體行動邏輯與工會民主觀點,說明工會集體行動策略的採用,對工會內部決策過程的影響。因此,本文主要是藉由公營事業工會運作特質、集體行動策略及工會內部決策過程三方面與實地訪問,來探討民營化前後公營事業工會的轉變情形。最後,根據學理上的分析及實務上的運作情形,對工會在民營化之後未來的發展情形,提出結論及個人的建議,以做為正在進行或即將實行民營化的公營事業與公營事業工會、政府修改相關法令的參考。

組織變革中員工態度之研究-我國國營電信事業員工的調查分析 / The Study of Staff Attitude in Organizational Change : An for Telecommunications Staff of State-owned Enterprises in R.O.C.

李漢盈, Li, Hann Yng Unknown Date (has links)
今天我們所面臨的環境是一個縮小的世界:知識爆炸、組織人口膨脹、產生一連串社會及經濟問題、新的價值體系層出不窮。而「變革就是一種常態」,今天不是我們管理變革,就是為變革所管理;組織的經營管理者面對變革之要求,係由於變革是普遍存在於我們所處的環境之中。   身處瞬息萬變的時代,企業機構均將面臨科技性、結構性、行為性及價值性變革之壓力。因此,組織變革成為一股不可抵擋的世界潮流。我國國營電信事業受到先進民主國家(如英、美、日等國)電信事業民營化潮流的衝擊,以及政府推動電信業務自由化與國際化政策的影響,電信公司化組織變革已是必然的趨勢。   一個人可以有數十種態度,但在組織內與工作有關的態度,最主要有工作滿足、工作投入及組織認同三種。而組織成員面對變革時,大致有三種反應:二是積極支持;二是中立觀望態度;三是抗拒變革。因此,本研究乃針對電信現職員工,採抽樣調查法,以問卷方式,並輔以深度訪問法、自然觀察法及歸納分析法,探討員工之組織認同程度、工作滿足狀況及其面臨公司化組織變革的相關反應態度。藉以瞭解電信現職員工對公司化組織變革的相關態度傾向,期經由員工心理及行為的調適並加以回饋,提供組織變革決策修正之參考。   本文共分為七章二十六節,約二十一萬言,各章要旨如下:   第一章「緒論」,計分五節,包括研究動機、研究目的、研究範圍與流程、研究方法與限制、重要名詞界定等。   第二章「理論基礎與相關文獻探討」,計分四節來討論,包括組織變革之理論基礎、組織變革態度與組織認同暨工作滿足之理論基礎、組織變革態度與組織認同暨工作滿足之關係、相關研究等。   第三章「各國電信事業組織變革的經驗和啟示」,計分四節來討論,包括美國與日本、英國與法國、韓國與新加坡電信事業組織變革概況、結語等。   第四章「實證研究調查」,計分五節,包括研究背景、理論架構、研究假設、研究設計、樣本結構分析等。   第五章「各變項間之關聯性分析與討論」,計分三節來討論,包括人口統計變項與組織變革態度之關聯性、人口統計變項與組織認同雙工作滿足之關聯性、組織認同、工作滿足與組織變革態度之關聯性等。   第六章「員工態度之反應情形暨其差異性分析」,計分三節來討論,包括員工對組織變革態度與組織認同暨工作滿足的態度傾向 總體反應、兩個自變項間對組織變革態度的差異性分析等。   第七章「結論與建議」,分為二節,包括研究結論(含假設驗證及主要發現)和研究建議(含管理實務之建議及後續研究之建議)。

Global Reporting Initiative : Hur har svenska statliga företag påverkats av regeringens beslut om hållbarhetsredovisning i enighet med GRI?

Larsson, Hanna, Lindlöf, Therese January 2010 (has links)
Fokus på hållbarhet i företag ökat kraftigt på senare år. Ett resultat av denna hållbarhetsutveckling är GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), en organisation som utvecklar ramverk och ger vägledning för innehållet i företagens hållbarhetsredovisningar. Svenska Regeringen på initiativ av Maud Olofsson var först i världen med att kräva att alla svenska statliga företag, från och med räkenskapsåret 2008, ska upprätta en externt granskad hållbarhetsredovisning i enighet med GRI:s riktlinjer G3.  Den här studien syftar till att undersöka hur de svenska statliga företagen har påverkats av regeringens nya krav.   Studien innefattar en undersökning av sju statliga företag som idag redovisar hållbarhet i enighet med GRI:s riktlinjer. En kvalitativ fallstudie har använts för undersökningen. Efter intervjuer med företagen kan det fastslås att det nya regeringskravet till viss del är en kostsam process. Det kan även konstateras att redovisning enligt GRI:s riktlinjer medför positiva förändringar i företagens interna processer. Företagen har även blivit mer medvetna om vilken påverkan de har på den hållbara utvecklingen. / Focus on sustainability in companies has increased sharply the last couple of years. A result of this development in sustainability is GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), an organization that develops frames and gives guidance for sustainability reports in the companies. The Swedish government on the initiative of Minister Maud Olofsson was first in the world to demand that all Swedish state-owned companies, from the fiscal year 2008, shall establish an externally audited sustainability reports in agreement with the GRI guidelines G3. This study aims to examine how the Swedish state-owned companies have been affected by the new government requirements.   The study includes an examination of seven state-owned companies, which today reports sustainability in agreement with GRI guidelines. A qualitative case study has been used for the thesis. After interviews with companies it can be stated that the new governmental requirement in some extent is a costly process. It can also be noted that accounting in accordance to GRI guidelines leads to positive changes in the companies internal processes. The companies have also become more aware of the impact they have on sustainable development.

A Technology and Management Perspective on Performance in Private and State-owned Banks – Bangladesh Cases

Khan, Enamul Haque January 2010 (has links)
Abstract Title: Comparative Study Between Private and State-owned Banks: Technology and Management Perspectives Author: Khan, Enamul Haque Supervisor: Catherine Lions   Background: Bangladesh is a lower developing country with limited resources and income. In Bangladesh, both private and state-owned banks operate side by side but under dissimilar conditions. State-owned banks are obviously overstaffed but secured by the government guarantee while private banks need to be competitive and profitable to survive. Two major competitive factors are technology innovation and good governance system. Private banks in Bangladesh are providing complete online solutions and function with a decentralized management while state-owned banks behave opposite due to government’s traditional attitude. Therefore it is relevant to explore what the state-owned bank can learn from the private bank so that the former can be more effective and profitable like private banks. Purpose: The purpose is to explore what the state-owned bank can learn from its private competitor. My first purpose is to analyze the functioning of technological improvements that, due to generation change, are vital for banks in developing countries. Secondly, since good governance is necessary for the organization to be efficient, I want to identify the main differences between state-owned and private banks that influence the performance. Finally, how to adapt these issues by state-owned banks to improve the performance is other purpose of this study. Method: Unstructured interviews with qualitative approach were carried by interviewing a private bank and a state-owned bank expertise. Primary data collected through telephone interviews helps to identify the practice in the different ownership systems and how growth factors work. Secondary data works as accelerator of the primary data. Conclusion: I have found that state-owned banks have three major problems are: Poor IT infrastructure, clumsy managerial governance working on regulatory bindings and political influence. To overcome these problems, state-owned banks should try to move towards decentralization of managerial activities and meet the technology standard requirements. Key words: Information Technology (IT), Private Bank, State-owned Bank, Developing Countries, Management, Ownership, Government, Regulation, Politics, Interview, Primary and Secondary Data.
