STRATEGY AS DISCURSIVE PRACTICE IN A BRAZILIAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITY: A LOOK UNDER THE PERSPECTIVE OF CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS

The aim this article a critical discursive analysis of the “management plan” genre of a public institution of higher education, from 2012 to 2015, located in southeast Brazil. The aforementioned plan is inserted in the discursive practice of strategic management, specifically the institutional, bureaucratic management, and is used as an instrument for decision-making. The goal of this analysis will be to discuss the first step of the “management plan”, named “organizational policies”. We can see that, while elaborating declarative sentences, there is an evaluation of the statements regarding what is to be considered relevant to the institutions by means of the ideological discourse on neoliberal ideals and market behavior. The adoption of market-oriented managerial tools has been a constant in public administration. The public administration looks for bases of organizational practices in the private sphere. This mimicry is still present in the field, and the search for new managerial practices still crosses the imaginaries of the public managers. However, the increasing incorporation of a market-oriented, neoliberal logic, mainly in the adoption of strategic planning, can still be verified. The conclusion presented in this paper serves to foment the debate on the strategies formulated for the Brazilian public service and the methodological applicability of the critical discourse analysis. This meets the emerging need to systematize and integrate distinct theoretical and methodological approaches in the field of organizational studies when strategy is studied as a social and discursive practice

CONTRIBUIÇÃO DA METODOLOGIA PESQUISA-AÇÃO NAS PRÁTICAS DE GESTÃO PELOS TÉCNICOS DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR NAS UNIVERSIDADES PÚBLICAS BRASILEIRAS

A realidade da nova administração pública e o potencial reflexivo dos técnicos de nível superior (TNS) com formação na área de ciências sociais aplicadas e, enquanto servidor público federal, na possível utilização da abordagem metodológica da pesquisa-ação durante as práticas de gestão nas universidades. A distância entre teoria e as práticas organizacionais nas universidades carece de métodos para que tal dicotomia possa ser minimizada. Neste contexto o TNS poderá apresentar como um novo servidor que conquistará cada vez mais o seu espaço. A pesquisa-ação apresenta aplicabilidade em soluções de problemas do cotidiano organizacional por meio das experiências, das vivências e das intervenções dos próprios TNS na gestão universitária brasileira. Dentre suas competências, se inclui a proficiência metodológica, indispensável para contribuir, a partir, de bases científicas na condução, identificação e resolução de problemas práticos no cotidiano destas universidades. Tal proatividade estará contribuindo significativamente para melhor entendimento da teoria e minimizando a distância com a práxis organizacional

Weiterentwicklung der Strebautomatisierung im Steinkohlentiefbau

Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Weiterentwicklung der Automatisierung des am häufigsten angewandten Abbauverfahrens im Steinkohlentiefbau, des langfrontartigen Strebbaus mit Walzenladern. Durch eine Bestandsaufnahme der wichtigsten etablierten Automatikfunktionen der Strebmaschinen Walzenlader, Strebförderer und Schildausbau und einer Analyse ihrer jeweiligen Stärken und Schwächen werden die technologischen Aufsetzpunkte für Weiterentwicklungen definiert. Als Basis für innovative Weiterentwicklungen zur automatisch flözgeführten Schneidarbeit des Walzenladers werden Kinematikmodelle vorgestellt, mit denen die Raumgeometrie der Bewegungen beim kooperativen Zusammenspiel von Walzenlader, Strebförderer und Schilden beschrieben werden. Weiterhin werden die Strebmaschinen mit innovativer Sensorik zur Flözverortung ausgestattet. Während bei bekannten Systemen ursprünglich nur der Walzenlader mit Sensorik zur Flözverortung ausgestattet war, kommen bei den neueren Verfahren auch entsprechende Sensorik an den Schilden und am Strebförderer zum Einsatz. Durch eine strebmaschinenübergreifende Sensorfusion wird ein vollständigeres raumgeometrisches Systemabbild des Strebes ermöglicht, wodurch eine Steigerung der Genauigkeit und der Verfügbarkeit der automatisch flözgeführten Schneidarbeit des Walzenladers erreicht werden kann. Auf der Grundlage dieser Sensorfusion kann eine vertiefte Systemfusion zwischen den Strebmaschinen erfolgen, die das prozessuale Zusammenspiel der Strebmaschinen und damit die Automatisierungstiefe erhöht, so dass hierdurch weiteres Potential für innovative Weiterentwicklungen zur Effizienz- und Leistungssteigerung des Gewinnungsbetriebes erschlossen werden kann.This thesis deals with the further development of the automation of the most frequently used mining method in deep coal mining, which is longwall mining with shearer loaders. By taking stock of the most established functions of automatic coal face machines such as shearer loaders, face conveyors and shield supports and by analysing their respective strengths and weaknesses the technological starting points for further developments are defined. Kinematic models are presented as the basis for further innovative developments for the automatic seam-guided cutting work of the shearer loader. With those the spatial geometry of the movements in the cooperative interaction of shearer loader, face conveyor and shields are described. Furthermore the longwall machines are equipped with innovative sensor technology for seam location. Whereas in known systems originally only the shearer was equipped with sensors for seam location the newer processes also use corresponding sensors on the shield and the face conveyor. A more complete three-dimensional image of the longwall is made possible by a sensor fusion across the face machines. Thus the accuracy and availability of the automatic seam-guided cutting work of the shearer loader is increased. On the basis of this sensor fusion, a deeper system fusion between the longwall machines can take place, which increases the procedural interaction of the longwall machines and thus the level of automation, so that further potential for further innovative developments to increase the efficiency and performance of mining operations can be tapped

O PLANO DE GESTÃO NAS UNIVERSIDADES FEDERAIS BRASILEIRAS SOB O OLHAR DO INSTITUCIONALISMO SOCIOLÓGICO

O objetivo deste ensaio é discutir como ocorreu o processo de adoção da ferramenta funcionalista do planejamento estratégico nas Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior (IFES) brasileiras. Apresenta-se como suporte teórico e analítico o enfoque sociológico foi escolhido porque, diferentemente dos demais, apresenta uma perspectiva cultural e sublinha o papel das normas culturais e dos elementos do amplo contexto institucional. Verifica-se que o processo de institucionalização nas universidades promove, cada vez mais, mudanças organizacionais que são substanciais e de um alto grau de formalização para que as mesmas continuem atuando. Os ambientes institucionais das IFES brasileiras estão condicionados por um ambiente de regulação rígido e amparados, especificamente, por determinações prescritas pelos organismos normativos e fiscalizadores da União. Tal atendimento das normas federais é uma fonte significativa de mudanças isomórficas nas IFES. É sabido que o apoio profissional dos técnicos de nível superior nas IFES brasileiras, servidores públicos de carreira com formação acadêmica em Administração ou áreas correlatas na construção do planejamento estratégico permite mais legitimidade nesse campo, o que implica credibilidade e suporte institucional

GESTÃO AMBIENTAL COMO PRÃTICA SOCIAL EM UMA ORGANIZAÇÃO PRODUTORA DE CELULOSE: UMA ANÃLISE INTERPRETATIVA

The objective of this paper is to study the socio-environmental management of a company in the cellulose industry based on the organization’s interaction in the social field. To achieve this, a theoretical-methodological model, based on an interpretative approach and on the understanding of environmental management as a social practice, was used. Triangulation of document analysis techniques and deep semi-open interviews were carried out. To interpret the results, content analysis was used to identify how managers understand the socially constructed relations between the organization and the environment. The results of this research also show that the organization is seeking to implement management practices that guarantee the efficiency of its production process while attempting to mitigate its environmental impacts, consolidating its image as an open and transparent company that operates according to the philosophy of corporative social responsibility.Agribusiness, Agricultural Finance, Industrial Organization, Socio-environmental management, social practice, organizations.,

TECNOLOGIA DE INFORMAÇÃO NA EDUCAÇÃO SUPERIOR: UMA ANÃLISE DO PROCESSO DE APRENDIZAGEM EM ADMINISTRAÇÃO

This paper, by inserting itself in the field of study that has tried to display some thoughts on the pedagogic practices brought by the new educational technologies, aimed at uncovering the meanings attributed by both students and teachers to the use of the technology of information as a mediator in the teaching-learning relation in the undergraduate Business Program of the Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA). The analytical effort done here shows that the technology of information as a mediator of this relation gets different meanings both for teachers and students. In the perception of those actors, the technologies of communication and information- when performing the role of mediators in the teaching-learning relation in management- stimulate the quest for knowledge and improvement of the teaching quality. However, the educational process results can meet some barriers and limitations associated to the technological infra-structure, the lack of experience of the actors in working in environments mediated by technologies of information.Technology of information, learning, educational technologies, Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession,

The critical hermeneutics And studies in marketing : approaches and possibilities

Este ensaio tem por objetivo contribuir para uma reflexão sobre a formação, geração e evolução do conhecimento em marketing sob a luz da hermenêutica crítica. Trata-se de uma análise em que os autores vislumbram novas possibilidades de estudos críticos nesse campo das ciências sociais. Argumenta-se que a abordagem epistemológica da hermenêutica crítica fornece um arcabouço teórico-metodológico para o avanço dos estudos críticos em marketing, na medida em que se concentra em pressuposições interpretativas de base filosófica e sociológica. Evidencia-se, dessa forma, que a hermenêutica crítica é apontada como uma forma de análise e de reflexão crítica no ensino do marketing, uma vez que contribui para a interpretação e para os processos menos procedimentais e mais reflexivos. Assim, se avança na discussão de que a lente hermenêutica no marketing pode aparecer no momento em que esse campo se percebe mais desbastado e ao mesmo tempo em que a mobilidade de comportamentos ganha velocidades diferenciadas em relação a concepções passadas.This paper aims to contribute to a reflection on the formation, generation and development of knowledge in marketing in light of critical hermeneutics. This is a review in which the authors envision new possibilities of critical studies in the field of social sciences. It is argued that the epistemological approach to critical hermeneutics provides a theoretical and methodological framework for the advancement of critical studies in marketing in that it focuses on interpretive assumptions of philosophical and sociological basis. It is evident, therefore, that the hermeneutic criticism is seen as a form of analysis and critical reflection on the marketing education, since this contributes to interpretation and less procedural and more reflective processes. Thus, it is advancing in the discussion that hermeneutic lens marketing may appear when this field is perceived more chopped and at the same time the mobility behavior gains at different speeds in relation to past designs
