Com o intuito de apresentar uma classificação de métodos de previsão de demanda para novos produtos, o artigo teve como objetivo apresentar o processo de elaboração e validação de um questionário de pesquisa realizado em um estudo considerando as características do sistema brasileiro de franquias. Realizou-se uma validação do questionário em quatro esferas: psicologia, estatística, especialistas e língua portuguesa, além da aplicação do Coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach – que resultou em um coeficiente global com classificação alta, o que demonstra a confiabilidade do questionário. Ao utilizar o Coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach, notou-se que o mesmo é considerado satisfatório e apresenta consistência desejada em todos os blocos e no questionário global, o que indica a confirmação dos pressupostos teóricos eleitos para a construção do instrumento.

Promoting the use of renewable energy sources has become an important policy strategy for mitigating climate change and for providing better energy security and financial sustainability. To overcome the problems generated by non-renewable energy sources, it is essential to use new energy sources. A literature review was conducted to investigate and understand the opportunities for implementing new renewable energy sources. Agricultural residues have great potential to receive significant consideration worldwide as an alternative, sustainable, and green energy source. The use of agricultural residues for bioenergy generation is a broad and favourable scenario for exploration. This review identified potential and almost unexplored research approaches with the aim of contributing and promoting researchers to deliver technological solutions for the society and industrial sectors. For example, a potentially promising technological solution would be for industries that produce machinery and agricultural implements to adapt their harvesters for different grain crops, to collect these agricultural residues simultaneously during harvest and readily perform granulation, compaction (pressing), pelletizing or briquetting directly on the property. Further studies are required to investigate the use of agricultural residues for bioenergy generation, which can contribute to the diversification of the energy matrix. Accordingly, in this review, several challenges and future research perspectives have been presented, such as suggestions for future research on how to collect, transport, process, market and use these agricultural residues to generate bioenergy, aiming at reducing the dependence on fossil fuels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
