This article aims to make an efficiency evaluation of Brazilian port authorities in performing their functions, from 2007 to 2009, using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). It is considered as inputs: quantity of employees, operational costs, investments; and as outputs: billing and handled cargo. The used DEA model is output-oriented and uses for its analysis scale efficiency and cross efficiency evaluation. Eight port authorities are considered in three years, resulting in 24 DMUs. This study allows us to evaluate if the Docks Companies operations are being efficient from the operational point of view, as well as to compare the performance between the port authorities, in order to identify which management elements should be turned to the achievement of a satisfactory performance. On a consolidated basis, we could notice that Docks Company CODESP (São Paulo) was the more efficient company in the period, followed by CODOMAR (Maranhão) and CDRJ (Rio de Janeiro).Cortez, L. C.

Goal:The paper aims to describe and discuss some practices and strategies that have been taken place in Embrapa Soils -a public research company that develops research in soil science -to deal with COVID-19 effects during the year 2020.Design / Methodology / Approach: We have chosen the ESG approach -Environmental, Social and Governance -as a theoretical background to analyze the strategies and practice we bring up in this paper. Information we have used was collected from internal management systems.Results: Results show that the company has found many strategies to deal with COVID-19 in the three pillars of ESG. Positive results the company has reached rely on leadership, processes adaptation and the strength of personal and professional connections among the employees. Limitations of the investigation:Strategies and practices we present are limited to the scope of one singular company. ESG is a methodology that we have used a posteriori to contextualize and analyze the situation. Practical implications:Learning and reinforcing the ESG approach have been an important tool for the company to think about itself beyond the boundaries of financial approaches. It has the potential to spread to other companies or public agencies that do not profit directly from its activities.Originality / Value: Sharing strategies and practices companies have used to deal with covid-19 is important as a benchmarking activity for other companies. This paper presents a consistent narrative of using ESG not only as a way of managing in normal conditions but making it the core business for managing in uncertain times.

Resumo: A Unidade de Polícia Pacificadora é "um novo modelo de Segurança Pública e de policiamento", que visa garantir a segurança local e, sobretudo, reduzir, ou mesmo, extinguir a criminalidade violenta ligada ao tráfico de drogas, além de aproximar população e polícia. Este artigo tem como objetivo medir a eficiência operacional de todas as UPPs instaladas no estado do Rio de Janeiro até o início de 2011, através da Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA). Foi utilizado para isso o modelo CCR -com orientação input -desenvolvido por Charnes, Cooper e Rhodes, que permite uma avaliação objetiva da eficiência global, identificando as fontes das ineficiências, bem como as metas necessárias para que a eficiência de cada UPP seja atingida. Os resultados obtidos convergem para uma redução do efetivo policial em todas as comunidades fora da fronteira de eficiência.Palavras-chave: UPP. Unidade de Polícia Pacificadora. DEA. Eficiência.

Abstract:The Pacification Police Unit (UPP) is a new model for public security and policing, aimed at ensuring local security and, above all, reduce, or even, extinguish violent crime linked to drug trafficking, and approach people and police. The purpose of this article is measuring the operational efficiency of all UPPs installed in the state of Rio de Janeiro by the beginning of 2011 by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). For this, it was used the CCR model -input-oriented -developed by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes, which allows an objective assessment of the overall efficiency, identifying the sources of inefficiencies and the needed targets to achieve the efficiency in each UPP. The results converge to a reduction of the amount of policemen in all communities out of the efficiency frontier.
