UMA APLICAÇÃO PRÁTICA DA MATRIZ BCG E ANÁLISE SWOT: UM ESTUDO DE CASO
Get PDFEste estudo apresenta uma aplicação prática da Matriz BCG e análise SWOT em uma rede de lojas de móveis e eletrodomésticos. Foi realizado um estudo exploratório-qualitativo e utilizada a técnica de estudo de caso, tornando possível uma investigação real das estratégias utilizadas pela rede de lojas. Na primeira parte, com base em pesquisas bibliográficas, explica-se os conceitos chave de planejamento estratégico. Em seguida, uma análise das estruturas organizacionais foi realizada e comentários foram expostos dentro dos quadrantes da BCG e SWOT. Por fim, algumas considerações finais foram apresentadas
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
Práticas de Gestão de Pessoas, Alinhamento Pessoa-Ambiente de Trabalho e Índices de Turnover: um estudo nas “Melhores Empresas Para Você Trabalhar” no Brasil
Get PDFThis work examines whether the Person-Environment Fit (P-E Fit) mediates the relationship between Human Resource Management (HRM) practices and Organizational Performance in the “Best Companies to Work For” in Brazil. The research is a descriptive quantitative cross-sectional survey. The population is the 500 “Best Companies to Work For” in Brazil, according to a database from the Institute of Directors (FIA), with data collected in 2010. The research sample consisted of 57 companies assessed in terms of People Management Practices and employee turnover, and 26,469 employees from these firms assessed in terms of Person-Environment Fit. Factor analysis pointed four dimensions for P-E Fit: Person-Job Fit, Person-Organization Fit, Person-Group Fit and Person-Supervisor Fit, in accordance with the literature on the topic. Regression analysis showed that HRM practices influence employee turnover: the more sophisticated the practices, the lower the turnover rates. HRM practices also affect Person-Job Fit, Person-Organization Fit and Person- Group Fit – the Person-Supervisor Fit was not impacted by practices. However, Person-Environment Fit (in its four dimensions) presented no mediating effect between HRM practices and employee turnover. Moreover, Person-Job Fit did not prove to have a mediating effect, but influenced turnover.Keywords: People Management Practices, “Person-Environment Fit”, Organizational Performance.Este trabalho propõe-se verificar se o Alinhamento Pessoa-Ambiente de Trabalho (“Person- Environment Fit” ou P-E Fit) medeia a relação entre o conjunto de práticas de Gestão de Pessoas e os índices de Turnover nas “Melhores Empresas para Você Trabalhar” no Brasil. A pesquisa é descritiva do tipo quantitativa por levantamento ou survey, de corte transversal. Definiu-se como população as 500 “Melhores Empresas para Você Trabalhar” no Brasil, segundo base de dados da Fundação Instituto de Administração (FIA), com dados do ano de 2010. A amostra de pesquisa foi composta por 57 empresas, onde se avaliou o conjunto de Práticas de Gestão de Pessoas e Turnover, e 26.469 funcionários destas empresas para analisar o “Person-Environment Fit”. A Análise fatorial das respostas dos funcionários revelou quatro dimensões do P-E Fit: “Person-Job Fit”, “Person-Organization Fit”, “Person-Group Fit” e “Person-Supervisor Fit”, em linha com as pesquisas do tema. Em seguida, análises de regressão demonstraram que o conjunto das práticas de Gestão de Pessoas influencia índices de Turnover, de modo que, quanto mais aplicadas forem tais práticas, menores os índices de Turnover. Constatou-se que o conjunto das práticas de Gestão de Pessoas afeta positiva e significativamente “Person-Job Fit”, “Person-Organization Fit” e “Person-Group Fit” – o “Person-Supervisor Fit” não se revelou impactado pelas práticas. Entretanto, não se constatou efeito de mediação da variável “Person-Environment Fit” (nas suas quatro dimensões) entre o conjunto das Práticas de Gestão de Pessoas e os índices de Turnover. Ainda, observou-se que a dimensão “Person-Job Fit” influencia índices de Turnover.Palavras-chave: práticas de Gestão de Pessoas, “Person-Environment Fit”, Performance Organizacional
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
