Porém, sua implementação é considerada um processo crítico e demorado, por ser um sistema abrangente e complexo. Por esta razão, muitas vezes os projetos falham, ultrapassam o cronograma ou enfrentam restrições orçamentárias. As instituições de ensino públicas brasileiras têm cada vez mais utilizado este tipo de sistema, e, dentro deste contexto, este estudo tem a finalidade de identificar os Fatores Críticos de Sucesso (FCS) para a implementação de sistemas ERP nestas instituições.Trata-se de uma pesquisa aplicada, descritiva, exploratória, de levantamento de campo (survey), com abordagem quantitativa. Para alcançar seus objetivos, foi elaborada uma revisão de literatura utilizando os motores de busca Scopus e Web of Science, onde foram identificados 30 FCS utilizados em artigos científicos. Com base nesses fatores, foram selecionados 20 FCS que compuseram o questionário o qual foi aplicado a especialistas de sistemas ERP em instituições de ensino públicas, a fim de mapear a percepção destes quanto ao grau de importância dos FCS durante as fases de pré-implementação, implementação e pós-implementação. Como resultado dessa pesquisa de campo, foram construídos gráficos onde a percepção dos FCS por fase da implementação do ERP foi analisada, à luz dos estudiosos, e, um ranking dos FCS considerados muito importantes foi elaborado, para cada uma dessas fases. Espera-se que este trabalho colabore para o avanço no conhecimento sobre o tema na comunidade acadêmica, assim como auxilie instituições de ensino para o alcance do êxito na implementação do sistema ERP adotado. / The use of integrated management systems ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) has provided organizations with better interaction amongst its business units, allowing it not only to improve the data management as well as to coordinate internal procedures. However, its implementation is considered critical and a time consuming process, because it is a comprehensive and complex system. For this reason, projects often fail, the schedule is exceeded or budget constraints occur. Brazilian public educational institutions have increasingly used this type of system and, within this context, this study aims to identify the Critical Success Factors (CSF) for the implementation of ERP systems in these institutions. It is an applied research, descriptive, exploratory, field survey with a quantitative approach. To achieve its objectives, a literature review has been prepared using the search engines Scopus and Web of Science, where 30 CSF used in scientific articles were identified. Based on CSF found, 20 CSF were selectioned. It composed a questionnaire that was constructed with Likert scale, which was applied to experts of ERP systems in public educational institutions, to map the perception of the degree of importance of CSF during the phases of pre-implementation, implementation and post-implementation. As a result of this field research, graphics were built where the perception of the CSF for the ERP implementation phase was analyzed in the light of the scholars, and a ranking of CSF considered very important, has been drawn up for each of these phases. It is hoped that this research may collaborate to advance knowledge on the topic in the academic community, as well as help educational institutions to achieve successful implementation of the adopted ERP system.

As mídias sociais, entre outras, são responsáveis pela divulgação das condições dos serviços prestados à população em geral. As instituições brasileiras estão em busca de mecanismos que maximizem a qualidade e a quantidade dos serviços públicos, dentro do tempo compatível com a prestação destes. Desta maneira, a identificação de indicadores de desempenho alcança maior relevância, não só para atingir a satisfação do cidadão, mas também para fazer a prestação de contas do serviço. Nesta perspectiva, este trabalho tem como objetivo principal a identificação de fatores críticos de sucesso para a Gestão Estratégica Municipal, a partir das percepções dos Agentes do Sistema Municipal de Gestão de Alto Desempenho da Prefeitura da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Para tal, realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental acerca dos seguintes temas: administração pública municipal e a gestão de pessoas, gestão de alto desempenho no setor público e fatores críticos de sucesso. Desta maneira, busca-se a fundamentação da análise das informações com o referencial teórico pesquisado. / The publicity of the implementation of public policies has increased due to the media, now in existence, and to the level of demand of the Brazilian citizen. Social media, among others, are responsible for disseminating the conditions of services provided to the general population. The Brazilian institutions are looking for mechanisms that maximize the quality and quantity of public services, within the time compatible with the provision of these services. In this way, the identification of performance indicators reaches more relevance, not only to achieve citizen satisfaction, but also to render service accounts. In this perspective, this work has as main objective the identification of critical success factors for the Municipal Strategic Management, based on the perceptions of the Agents of the Municipal System of High Performance Management of the City Hall of the City of Rio de Janeiro. To this end, a bibliographical and documentary research was carried out on the following topics: municipal public administration and people management, management of high performance in the public sector and critical success factors. In this way, we seek to base the analysis of the information with the theoretical framework researched.

Assim como a literatura de lean, pouco se tem abordado acerca a sustentabilidade de melhorias de lean healthcare. Considerando as altas taxas de insucesso de iniciativas lean relatadas na literatura, este trabalho tem como objetivo testar, através de um estudo de caso em um hospital, os fatores críticos de sucesso para a sustentabilidade de melhorias lean healthcare apontados na literatura. Para tal, foi necessário identificar na literatura os fatores críticos de sucesso para a sustentabilidade lean e de lean healthcare, de modo que depois foram agrupados e consolidados em 17 fatores críticos. A partir deles, foram elaboradas 24 proposições teóricas para que fossem testadas no hospital utilizado como estudo de caso. Como resultado, 15 proposições puderam ser confirmadas com as evidências do caso, enquanto que 6 foram divergentes do previsto na literatura e 3 não tiveram dados suficientes para análise. As divergências foram relacionadas aos fatores críticos de alinhamento estratégico, cultura organizacional, envolvimento dos colaboradores e duração dos projetos. A partir das proposições divergentes, este trabalho contribui com novas proposições sugeridas que foram baseadas nas evidências do estudo de caso realizado. / As in lean literature, little has been addressed about sustainability in healthcare settings. Considering the high failure rates of lean initiatives reported in the literature, this paper aims to test, through a case study in a hospital, the critical success factors for sustainability in healthcare settings reported in literature. To accomplish that it was necessary to identify in the literature the critical success factors for lean and lean healthcare. They were grouped and consolidated into 17 critical factors. From these, 24 theoretical propositions were prepared to be tested in the hospital used as a case study. As a result, 15 propositions could be confirmed with the evidence from the case, while 6 were divergent from that was predicted in the literature and 3 did not have enough data for analysis. The divergences were related to the critical factors strategic alignment, organizational culture, employee involvement and project duration. From the divergent propositions, this work contributes with new suggested propositions that were based on the evidence of the case study.

A terceirização de Tecnologia da Informação (TI) no âmbito das instituições governamentais tem sido um desafio para os gestores, estudos indicam um baixo percentual de sucesso em relação aos objetivos planejados. As organizações fazem uso da TI para otimizar processos, diminuir custos, gerar informações e obter vantagem competitiva. Este trabalho apresenta uma pesquisa exploratória sobre o tema da terceirização de tecnologia da informação, tendo como objetivo identificar os fatores críticos de sucesso (FCS) para que a atividade de terceirização do desenvolvimento de Sistemas de Informação possa ser implementada com sucesso no setor público brasileiro. Identificar os FCS permite direcionar os recursos, que são limitados, onde eles realmente fazem a diferença para se obter os resultados planejados. Foi extraído da literatura, por meio de uma revisão sistemática, os fatores de sucesso relevantes para a atividade. A revisão sistemática foi feita nas bibliotecas digitais on-line: ACM Digital Library Association of Computing Machinery e IEEE xplore Digital Library, em publicações a partir de 2007 (10 anos). A revisão sistemática foi complementada por uma revisão Adhoc, que buscou artigos e publicações científicas de fontes secundárias, trabalhos correlatos cujos objetivos se relacionam ao tema de pesquisa, às teorias, normas e modelos relacionados à terceirização da tecnologia da informação. Os estudos foram agrupados com base em análise de conteúdo constituindo um modelo de referência para a pesquisa baseado em duas dimensões: contexto e foco do relacionamento. O método de pesquisa adotado foi a técnica Delphi para identificar os FCS para o contexto desta pesquisa. Os participantes foram escolhidos a partir de uma instituição pública da área de TI com atuação no município de São Paulo. Um total de 35 especialistas, agrupados em três grupos com diferentes visões sobre o problema, concluíram o painel Delphi. Os FCS identificados na pesquisa são: competência dos fornecedores, comunicação, capacidade técnica dos fornecedores, contratos, comprometimento, conformidade, qualidade das entregas, seleção dos fornecedores, fatores ambientais, confiança, equipe de TI adequadamente dimensionada e controle dos requisitos. Verificou-se que os componentes Contrato e Comportamentos do modelo de referência de pesquisa se destacaram em relação aos demais componentes. A pesquisa também apresentou os FCS em ordem de importância, o que permitiu analisar a relevância de cada FCS sob a perspectiva das atividades exercidas e comparar as diferentes percepções dos especialistas sobre o objeto de estudo / Outsourcing Information Technology (IT) within government institutions has been a challenge for managers, studies indicate a low percentage of success over planned objectives. Organizations make use of IT to streamline processes, lower costs, generate information, and gain competitive advantage. This study presents an exploratory research on the topic of outsourcing information technology, aiming to identify the critical success factors (FCS) so that the outsourcing activity of Information Systems development can be successfully implemented in the Brazilian public sector. Identifying the FCS allows you to direct the resources, which are limited, where they really make the difference to get the results you plan. We extracted from the literature, through a systematic review, the factors of success relevant to the activity. The systematic review was done at the online digital libraries: ACM Digital Library - Association of Computing Machinery and IEEE xplore Digital Library, in publications from 2007 (10 years). The systematic review was complemented by an Adhoc review, searching articles and scientific publications from secondary sources, related works whose objectives are related to the research topic, to theories, norms and models related to the outsourcing of information technology. The studies were grouped based on content analysis constituting a reference model for research based on two dimensions: context and focus of the relationship. The research method adopted was the Delphi technique to identify the FCS for the context of this research. The participants were chosen from a public institution of the area of IT with action in the city of São Paulo. A total of 35 experts, grouped into three groups with different views on the problem, concluded the Delphi panel. The FCS identified in the survey are supplier competence, communication, technical capacity of suppliers, contracts, commitment, compliance, quality of deliveries, selection of suppliers, environmental factors, confidence, adequately sized IT staff and requirements control. It was verified that the Contract and Behavior components of the research reference model stood out in relation to the other components. The study also presented the FSC in order of importance, which allowed to analyze the relevance of each FSC under the perspective of the activities performed and to compare the different perceptions of the specialists on the object of study

Although, proposing the implementation of a GC program in a multicampus public educational institution is a considerable challenge, because it requires that the specifics of this organizational model are respected and that know how the knowledge of the cycle evolves in its interaction contexts. The literature recommends that initiatives related to knowledge start with a pilot program, being more indicated that it starts from a sector or a segment of the organization. For this reason, this study aimed to propose a implementation plan of GC at the Federal Institute of Paraná [IFPR], from the Planning and Administration Directors [DPA] of their campuses. This is a single case study with a qualitative approach, implemented in two phases: a descriptive and another applied. The descriptive phase included two types of diagnoses: the first researched which the critical success factors in the evolution of knowledge cycle in the context of interaction of the directors object of study; the other, what mechanisms, the systems and GC practices or present in the DPA or required fpr these. The diagnosis of those present is relevant because it shows the resources currently used in the development of organizational knowledge cycle; on the other hand, those who are needed because they help to make the development of the GC implementation plan in the institution. At this stage, it was used as sources of information, semi-structured interviews and documents. In the process of analysis of this phase, it was used the content analysis technique, with the help of software NVivo® 11.The results of the first type of diagnosis - critical success factors - showed that the activities of DPA are permeated by different contexts of interaction in which each of them has different aspects, acting or as facilitators or as barriers to knowledge evolution cycle. Among the barriers, the lack of a standard of institutional communication, the inefficiency of the flows, the knowledge explicitation and the updating of the institutional database, and the difficulty of the Pro-Rectos in establishing suitable guidelines for the work of the DPA are alluded to.The results of the second type of diagnosis - mechanisms, systems and GC practices - showed that, although there are no structured GC practices, the organization has the potential to deploy them, because it already works with several mechanisms and GC systems that can support them. In the second phase of this study - applied it was proposed a plan for the implementation of GC in IFPR from DPA in their campuses. It was suggested also, initiatives for the elimination / reduction of barriers to GC diagnosed. And finally, it was suggested the institution of some GC practices, appropriate for the case study. This paper brings two constributions to the academic. One of them showed that in public multicampus institutions, the evolution of organizational knowledge cycle occurs in different ways in each of its interaction contexts. The other contribution is to allow the proposed deployment plan is used by other public multicampus Educational Institutions. As a contribution to the practice of IFPR has been the proposal of a GC implementation plan in which this work has already advanced some actions / A Gestão do Conhecimento [GC] tem sido reconhecida como um recurso estratégico indispensável para o sucesso das organizações na atual sociedade, baseada no conhecimento. Conquanto, propor a implantação de um programa de GC em uma instituição de ensino pública multicampi é um considerável desafio, pois exige que sejam respeitadas as especificidades deste modelo organizacional, bem como que se conheça de que modo o ciclo do conhecimento evolui em seus diversos contextos de interação. A literatura recomenda que iniciativas ligadas ao conhecimento comecem com um programa piloto, sendo mais indicado que se iniciem a partir de um setor da organização. Por esta razão, este estudo teve como objetivo propor um plano de implantação da GC no Instituto Federal do Paraná [IFPR], a partir das Diretorias de Planejamento e Administração [DPA] de seus campi. Trata-se de um estudo de caso único, com abordagem qualitativa, concretizado em duas fases: uma descritiva e outra aplicada. A fase descritiva contemplou dois tipos de diagnósticos: o primeiro pesquisou quais os fatores críticos de sucesso ao ciclo de evolução do conhecimento nos contextos de interação das diretorias objeto de estudo; o outro, quais os mecanismos, os sistemas e as práticas de GC ou presentes nas DPA ou necessários a estas. Nessa etapa, utilizou-se, como fontes de informações, entrevistas semiestrutudadas e documentos. No processo de análise dessa fase, empregou-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo, com o auxílio do software NVivo® 11. Os resultados do primeiro tipo de diagnóstico fatores críticos de sucesso demonstraram que as atividades das DPA são permeadas por diversos contextos de interação em que cada um deles possui distintos aspectos, agindo ou como facilitadores ou como barreiras ao ciclo de evolução do conhecimento. Entre os fatores facilitadores, pode-se citar, por exemplo, a predominância do respeito, da confiança e da colaboração entre os servidores das DPA dos campi. Entre as barreiras, alude-se a falta de um padrão de comunicação institucional, a ineficiência dos fluxos, da explicitação do conhecimento e da atualização da base de dados institucional e a dificuldade das Pró-Reitorias em estabelecer diretrizes adequadas para os trabalhos das DPA. Os resultados do segundo tipo de diagnóstico mecanismos, sistemas e práticas de GC evidenciaram que, embora não hajam práticas de GC estruturadas, a organização tem o potencial de implantá-las, uma vez que já trabalha com diversos mecanismos e sistemas de GC que podem apoiá-las. Na segunda fase deste estudo - aplicada - propôs-se um plano para a implantação da GC no IFPR a partir das DPA de seus campi. Sugeriram-se, também, iniciativas para a eliminação/redução das barreiras à GC diagnosticadas. E, por fim, propôs-se a instituição de práticas de GC adequadas ao caso estudado. Este trabalho traz duas contribuições para a academia. Uma delas mostra que, nas IES públicas multicampi, o ciclo de evolução do conhecimento organizacional pode ocorrer de diferentes formas, em cada um de seus contextos de interação. A outra contribuição ocorre ao permitir que o plano de implantação proposto seja utilizado por outras IES públicas multicampi. Como contribuição para a prática, tem-se a proposta de um plano de implantação da GC no IFPR no qual este trabalho já adiantou algumas ações

Syftet med    studien var att undersöka hur Leanbaserade/Leaninspirerade verksamheter i    svensk offentlig sektor arbetar för att åstadkomma värdeskapande intern    kommunikation. Utgångspunkten var att dagens demografiska utveckling    parallellt med effektiviseringskrav innebär utmaningar för kommuner att    säkra välfärd och kundnöjdhet samt att detta arbete behöver börja internt    gentemot medarbetarna för att ge effekt utåt till kunderna. Lean    kommunikation och kommunikativt ledarskap har seglat upp som två relativt    nya begrepp som ännu inte utforskats så mycket, men som tar sikte på just    värdeskapande kommunikation. Denna studie fokuserade på dessa begrepp på    teoretisk nivå och utforskade hur de kan användas praktiskt och strategiskt    för att stärka värdeskapande intern kommunikation. Empirin utgjordes av    semistrukturerade intervjuer med 15 chefer/ledare från sex kommuner, som    analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Slutsatsen var att det    fanns ganska stor överensstämmelse mellan respondenterna om vad som ansågs    vara framgångsfaktorer, vad som utmärker en bra kommunikativ ledare samt hur    de arbetade med intern kommunikation i det dagliga arbetet. Tydlighet och    visualisering var de mest frekventa aspekter som lyftes. Likaså var    kopplingen till Lean kommunikation och kommunikativt ledarskap påtaglig –    även om inte samtliga intervjuade kände till eller använde begreppen    arbetade de utifrån dem undermedvetet. Däremot var det få som hade    fungerande strategier för att göra cheferna/ledarna mer kommunikativa och    flera lyfte brister kopplade till uppföljning, utvärdering och feedback.    Utifrån studiens resultat togs en modell för Lean kommunikation fram, med    tillhörande checklista, som kan användas av Lean verksamheter för att stärka    och medvetet arbeta med värdeskapande intern kommunikation. / The    purpose of this study was to explore how Lean based/Lean inspired    enterprises in Swedish public sector acts to attain value-adding internal    communication. The starting point was that the contemporary demographic    development combined with demands for cost-effectiveness entail challenges    for municipalities to safeguard welfare and customer satisfaction, and that    this task needs to start internally towards the employees in order to bring    effects externally towards the customers. Lean communication and    communicative leadership has arisen as two relatively new concepts which    have not yet been extensively explored, but which aim precisely at    value-adding communication. This study focussed on these two concepts at a    theoretical level and explored how they can be utilised practically and    strategically in order to improve value-adding internal communication. The    empirical data consisted of semistructured interviews with 15    managers/leaders from six municipalities, which have been analysed with qualitative    content analysis. The conclusion was that there existed a relatively    substantial congruity between the respondents concerning what was considered    success factors, what distinguishes a good communicative leader and how they    handled internal communication in the daily work. Clarity and visualisation    were the most frequently aspects mentioned. Additionally, the linkage to    Lean communication and communicative leadership was palpable – even though    not all of the respondents were familiar with or used the concepts, they    were utilising them subconsciously. However, only a minority of them had    functioning strategies to facilitate leaders to be more communicative and    several of them acknowledged shortcomings concerning follow-up, evaluation    and feedback. Based on the study’s results, a model for Lean communication    was created – with a checklist attached – which can be deployed by Lean    enterprises in order to strengthen and consciously work with value-adding    internal communication. / <p>2019-0-27</p>

<p>Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the corporate world are achieving increasing importance and attention especially in the advent of intense globalization. This is evident from the magnitude and growth of deal values and resultant ‘mega-mergers’ transacted in recent times. As expert advisory are sought in M&A activities to facilitate the undertaking and maximise the value of the transaction, advisory firms begin to play a more significant and at the same time lucrative role in M&A activities, to the extent of determining the outcome of such projects. Being an area of limited research, it is thus valuable to investigate what M&A advisory firms view as critical success factors to the projects they undertake. Consequently, the research question of “What are the critical success factors for merger & acquisition projects in the view of merger & acquisition advisory firms” has been raised. A list of ten critical success factors for M&A projects is firstly identified from an extensive literature review. These factors are (1) Complete and Clear objectives, goals and scope of the project, (2) Client consultation and acceptance, (3) Project manager’s competence and commitment, (4) Project team member’s competence and commitment, (5) Communication and information sharing and exchange, (6) Project plan development, (7) M&A advisory firm’s resource planning, (8) Time management and tight secrecy, (9) Price evaluation and financing scheme, and (10) Risk management.</p><p>In an attempt to explore the importance of each factor in the practical context, data have been collected through three research methods. Primarily, the authors conduct a semi-structured interview with six interviewees currently working in three organizations which provide professional services related to M&A projects. Meanwhile, a self-completion questionnaire method is employed, following which a sample of 325 M&A advisory firms based in the U.S. is selected to participate in an online survey. In addition, the authors follow a case study approach based on the three organizations of the six interviewees in order to establish comprehensive knowledge about issues relating to M&A projects.</p><p>In response to the research question, the findings strongly indicate that seven out of ten factors in the original list have a positive impact, being the factors listed above as (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (8), and (9). On the other hand, it revealed the lesser importance of the other three. In addition, three new factors have been discovered from analyzing the data collected, being (i) Having a number of key potential buyers with suitable profile (ii) Right, correct and complete information and data in the data room, and (iii) The quality of the selling company. While as another outcome of this research, further practical insights have been provided regarding the role of M&A advisory firms, the M&A process, common issues faced by M&A projects and the success criteria for M&A projects.</p><p>The findings from this research contribute valuable new knowledge to both researchers and practitioners in both project management and M&A fields, while facilitating the achievement of successful M&A projects.</p>
