INTELIGÊNCIA COMPETITIVA NAS ORGANIZAÇÕES BASEADAS EM PROJETOS: PROPOSIÇÃO DE UMA INTEGRAÇÃO ENTRE OS CONCEITOS

Project Based Organizations (PBOs) refer to several organizational forms. These create temporary systems for carrying out their work, seeking to reduce hierarchy and bureaucracy in organizations. These forms of organizations, like most companies, need to survive a highly competitive and unstable market, causing several transformations and adaptations to be carried out at a strategic level. In this context, the Competitive Intelligence (CI) practice emerges as a way of thinking and acting, through a process of collecting, analyzing and processing information. Given this analogy, this study aims to show how Competitive Intelligence can be used by OBPs. To this end, a literature review was carried out, based on research in scientific articles, dissertations, theses, among others, on the aforementioned themes. It was concluded that Competitive Intelligence through its constant monitoring, linked to the updating of corrective and opportune actions, can promote the competitive advantage of organizations based on projects in the market. The study had some limitations because there are no empirical studies, from the perspective of administration, that approximate the concepts.As Organizações Baseadas em Projetos (OBPs) referem-se a diversas formas organizacionais. Estas criam sistemas temporários para execução do seu trabalho, buscando reduzir a hierarquia e a burocracia nas organizações. Essas formas de organizações, assim como a maioria das empresas, precisam sobreviver a um mercado altamente competitivo e instável, fazendo com que sejam realizadas diversas transformações e adaptações a nível estratégico. Nesse contexto, surge a prática Inteligência Competitiva (IC) como modo de pensar e agir, através de um processo de coleta, análise e tratamento da informação. Diante dessa analogia, o presente estudo tem por objetivo evidenciar como a Inteligência Competitiva pode ser utilizada pelas OBPs. Para tal, realizou-se uma revisão de literatura, a partir de pesquisas em artigos científicos, dissertações, teses entre outros, sobre as temáticas supracitadas. Concluiu-se que a Inteligência Competitiva através do seu constante monitoramento, atrelado à atualização de ações corretivas e oportunas, podem promover a vantagem competitiva das organizações baseadas em projetos no mercado. O estudo apresentou algumas limitações por não existir estudos empíricos, sob a ótica da administração, que aproximem os conceitos

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network

International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora
