RESUMOO objetivo deste trabalho é o de explorar as relações existentes entre empresas que atuam na realização de festas de casamentos. Foi utilizada a abordagem da análise de redes sociais. Esse grupo caracteriza-se como um Arranjo Produtivo Local. Para se avaliar os relacionamentos entre as empresas, foram introduzidas duas variáveis dicotômicas baseadas nas assertivas: trocar informações e trabalhar juntas. Dessa forma, o fluxo de informações e o trabalho conjunto, focados sob a lente da análise de redes sociais, apresentam o relacionamento entre as empresas, que se configura como um dos ganhos competitivos das redes de cooperação. Os dados foram tabulados e organizados em softwares de planilha eletrônica (MSEXCEL) e análise de redes (UCINET), com a obtenção de estatísticas descritivas e métricas de centralidade e
Purpose This paper aims to focus on Brazilian business fairs primarily attended by metalworking companies. Design/methodology/approach Using a qualitative and exploratory approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews answered by exhibitor companies from two of the most relevant Brazilian states in this industrial sector: Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. Findings The results recognize the four pillars of the interorganizational relationship developed among exhibitors at business fairs and launch serious implications for the effective development of business fairs as spaces of interorganizational relationship and of value creation. Originality/value This is the first study discussing the trade fairs of the Brazilian emerging industry related to the metal-mechanic sector of two of the most significant states in the country: Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.
PurposeThis paper aimed to analyze the contribution of the interorganizational relationship (IOR) factors trust and knowledge resources to the relational and transactional performance of a Brazilian agricultural cluster formed by small farmers.Design/methodology/approachA survey was conducted using a questionnaire divided into groups of variables, each group seeking to identify one of the three constructs: trust, knowledge resources and relational and transactional performance. A theoretical framework was elaborated and later compared with survey results, which were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and partial least squares–structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsCorrelations between trust and relational and transactional cluster performance varied according to actors involved, being significant between some actors and not significant between others. Knowledge resources, on the other hand, proved to be significantly relevant for cluster performance, considering both relational and transactional measures.Research limitations/implicationsIt was made in a Brazilian single cluster and its conclusions cannot be generalized.Practical implicationsFarmers cannot innovate with the efficiency and effectiveness that the process demands. They need complementary capacity that apparently is not in the agricultural cluster. Research and development involve knowledge and techniques that empirical knowledge alone may not provide. And much of the formal knowledge is embedded in universities and research institutes. If there were investments by public entities in research and development to improve the culture and its by-products, this could contribute to improving the income of farmers.Social implicationsThis study provided a photograph of the current scenario of a Brazilian agricultural cluster. Changes in trust and knowledge resources could affect cluster relational and transactional performance. Special attention is deserved to the important role of scientific research on agricultural clusters to strengthen the capacity of critical analysis by the researcher who, with the results in hand, makes them public, hoping that the shared information can contribute with the research of other scholars and improve the quality of life of farmers involved.Originality/valueThis study offers empirical evidence that trust and knowledge resources can contribute to a Brazilian agricultural cluster performance, which can be analyzed considering both relational and transactional measures. These findings brought new fact to Singh and Shrivastava’s (2013) research.
Este trabalho discute a relação entre a implantação de Sistemas de Informações (SI) e processos de mudança organizacional. Considerou-se que essa relação pode ser estudada a partir de dois enfoques: tecnológico ou organizacional. O enfoque tecnológico considera a implantação de SI como um elemento desencadeador da mudança, enquanto no enfoque organizacional os SI ocupariam papel secundário. Foram realizadas entrevistas com 27 executivos de 5 empresas de autopeças, observando-se como os processos de mudança estão relacionados com a implantação de SI. O trabalho conclui que nessas empresas o enfoque organizacional é predominante, porém, identificam-se situações em que a implantação de SI tem papel e importância distintos na mudança organizacional.
REsse estudo aborda o viés da informação sobre a ocorrência de inovação em levantamentos, decorrente da compreensão imprecisa do conceito de inovação implícito na questão. O reconhecimento dessa situação ressalta a necessidade de procedimentos metodológicos que detectem o erro de compreensão do conceito por parte dos informantes, a fim que sejam previstos mecanismos para minimização do erro total da mensuração de indicadores de inovação.Um desenho desses procedimentos foi aplicado em levantamento amostral no setor metal mecânico da região do ABC. Nesse estudo foram cotejadas as respostas a questões fechadas e abertas sobre a prática de inovação nas empresas. Dois fluxos metodológicos ilustram os procedimentos para detecção e correção do viés da informação, evidenciando a relevância do uso da questão aberta, na sequência da questão fechada sobre inovação. A diferença entre as
