IMPLICAÇÕES ESTRATÉGICAS DAS ALIANÇAS E REDES COM VISTAS À TOMADA DE DECISÃO EM UMA ORGANIZAÇÃO DO TERCEIRO SETOR: FOCO NO CASO DO INSTITUTO DA CRIANÇA
No full textHá uma clara tendência, por parte das empresas, de atuação
com maior responsabilidade socioambiental e com a
preocupação de contribuir para o desenvolvimento
sustentável da economia. Neste contexto, as organizações
nãogovernamentais (ONG´s) ganham mais espaço para a atuação
em rede junto às empresas, visto que as ações de cunho
social, em geral, não são seu foco. Essas organizações vêm
ganhando progressiva força junto ao mundo empresarial,
assumindo o desafio de atuar de forma profissional, com
visão estratégica, para assumir um verdadeiro protagonismo
social e garantir sua sustentabilidade. Aos
gestores de empresas cabe conhecer esses novos atores do
mercado, reconhecer seu crescente poder de atuação em rede
e mobilização das partes envolvidas. Diante disso, a
presente pesquisa pretende prestar dupla contribuição: à
Academia, que vem desde a década de 1990 formando centros
de estudos pelo país, voltados aos assuntos pertinentes ao
Terceiro Setor, e também às ONG`s, em franco processo de
profissionalização de sua gestão, que vêm demonstrando ser
um fértil terreno para profissionais de administração.
Objetiva também contribuir com estudos sobre a gestão de
organizações em redes de relacionamento, ao
aplicar e adaptar a uma organização sem fins lucrativos,
mais especificamente ao Instituto da Criança, um
ferramental de avaliação da adequação estratégica de
organizações que atuam em alianças e redes, utilizado
especialmente em organizações com fins lucrativos. O
Instituto da Criança, foco do estudo, é uma reconhecida ONG
atuante no Rio de Janeiro há treze anos, que trabalha em
rede com mais de cem empresas, centenas de doadores e
voluntários, com o objetivo de prover apoio administrativo,
financeiro e encaminhamento jurídico a oito
instituições sociais. O estudo baseia-se no pressuposto de
que a organização, após passar por um processo de mudança
organizacional nos últimos dois anos, ampliação de sua
equipe e estruturação de comitês regionais também em São
Paulo e Nova Iorque, demanda uma gestão que contemple a
avaliação das implicações estratégicas das alianças e redes
sobre sua conduta, desempenho e sustentabilidade. Adotando
a metodologia de estudo de caso, e de triangulação dos
métodos, realizou-se ampla pesquisa bibliográfica sobre
estratégia, alianças, redes, Terceiro Setor e
responsabilidade socioambiental corporativa; coletou-se
dados através de pesquisa documental, de entrevistas junto
a pessoas envolvidas no processo decisório, e de
questionários para a obtenção das percepções de
empresas parceiras, voluntários e doadores. Os dados foram
analisados com base no referencial teórico e no uso da
adaptação de dois modelos de avaliação estratégica: de auto-
avaliação para organizações sem fins lucrativos, proposto
por Peter Drucker (2001), e de análise estratégica sob a
perspectiva relacional, proposto por Macedo-Soares (2002).
Evidenciou-se que a ótica relacional, pertinente aos
relacionamentos, notadamente às alianças e às redes
formadas por estas, agrega valor e novas perspectivas à
decisão estratégica, complementando a avaliação feita
apenas com base nos fatores macro-ambientais, estruturais e
organizacionais. Os resultados indicaram que a estratégia
de crescimento da ONG está adequada, mas deve ser revista
para o melhor aproveitamento das oportunidades atuais,
tanto no âmbito da rede já existente quanto para um cenário
de expansão geográfica de suas atividades.There is a growing tendency for enterprises to act with
greater socialenvironmental responsibilities and with the
concern of contributing to the sustainable development of
the economy In this context, the non-governmental
organizations (NGO`s) have become widely recognized for
acting in network near the enterprises, since the actions
of social hallmark are in general not the focus. These
organizations are gaining progressive force in the business
world and are assuming the challenge of acting in the
professional form with strategic vision to truly assume its
social importance and guarantee its financial
sustainability. To the managers of these enterprises, it is
essential to recognize these new trends and factors of the
market and the growing power of acting in network and
mobilization of the involved parts. Therefore, the present
inquiry intends to give double contribution: first to the
academy, which was established in the 1990`s forming study-
centers for the country and is focused on the relevant
subjects to the third sector. Also to NGO`s that are
clearly involved in the process of specialization of its
management, which they are demonstrating to be a fertile
land for professionals of administration. Still, it`s
important to contribute with studies on the management of
organizations in networks of relationships and at the same
time apply and adapt to non-profitable organizations.
Specifically to the Instituto da Criança, which holds the
building blocks of evaluation for the strategic
adaptation of organizations to act with alliances and
networks used especially in organizations with profitable
ends. The Instituto da Criança, the focus of this
study, is a grateful NGO that has been active in Rio de
Janeiro and works in networks with more than one hundred
enterprises and hundreds of donors and volunteers with the
objective to provide administrative, financial support and
legal direction to eight social projects. The study is
based on the presupposition that the organization, after
going through a process of change in the last two years, is
enlarging its team and structuring regional committees in
São Paulo and New York. It demands a type of management
that contemplates the evaluation of the strategic
implications of these alliances and networks on its conduct
and with its sustainability. Adopting the methodology of
case study and of triangulation of the methods, social-
environmental effects led to the spacious bibliographical
inquiry on strategy, alliances, networks, third sector and
corporative responsibility; data was collected through
documentary inquiry, interviews near persons involved in
the decision process, and through the application of
questionnaires to obtain the perceptions of matching
enterprises, volunteers and donors. The data was
analyzed on this basis of theoretical referential system
and the use of the adaptation of two models of strategic
evaluation: from auto-analysis for non-profit organizations
proposed by Peter Drucker (2001), and from strategic
analysis in the relational perspective proposed by Macedo-
Soares (2002). It became clear that the relational optics
relevant to the relationships, especially alliances and the
nets formed by these, adds value and new perspectives to
the strategic decision, complementing the evaluation done
only on basis of the macro-environmental, structural and
organizational factors. The results indicate that the
current strategy of growth of the NGO is correct but also
needs to be revised in order to seize the current
opportunities, since those in the context of the already
existent network until all those for the expansion of its
activities in the geographical scenery. The results

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
