Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a Empresa Alfa e seus stakeholders e buscar formas de inferir que uma melhor gestão de stakeholders pode repercutir positivamente no processo de sustentabilidade da empresa. Para isso duas metodologias internacionais previamente testadas serão aplicadas no contexto brasileiro: o diagrama de Venn de Mitchell, Agle e Wood (1997) que contém sete tipos de stakeholders segundo as combinações dos atributos poder, legitimidade e urgência; e a matriz de Savage, Nix, Whitehead e Blair (1991), que analisa a propensão dos stakeholders em colaborar ou ameaçar as estratégias da empresa. Os principais resultados dizem respeito ao desalinho nos discursos dos diversos stakeholders com relação às práticas da empresa e às sugestões de políticas gerenciais para contornar esta situação. Entretanto o estudo se limita a traçar estratégias, sendo necessário, portanto, estudos posteriores com acompanhamentos in loco para analisar a evolução da empresa com a aplicação do estudo. As ferramentas apresentadas podem ser testadas em empresas de diferentes setores que têm preocupações com relacionamento de stakeholders e com os impactos de seus negócios na sociedade.

This paper presents a comparison between a multiple red green blue-depth (RGB-D) vision system, an intensity variation-based polymer optical fiber (POF) sensor, and inertial measurement units (IMUs) for human joint angle estimation and movement analysis. This systematic comparison aims to study the trade-off between the non-invasive feature of a vision system and its accuracy with wearable technologies for joint angle measurements. The multiple RGB-D vision system is composed of two camera-based sensors, in which a sensor fusion algorithm is employed to mitigate occlusion and out-range issues commonly reported in such systems. Two wearable sensors were employed for the comparison of angle estimation: (i) a POF curvature sensor to measure 1-DOF angle; and (ii) a commercially available IMUs MTw Awinda from Xsens. A protocol to evaluate elbow joints of 11 healthy volunteers was implemented and the comparison of the three systems was presented using the correlation coefficient and the root mean squared error (RMSE). Moreover, a novel approach for angle correction of markerless camera-based systems is proposed here to minimize the errors on the sagittal plane. Results show a correlation coefficient up to 0.99 between the sensors with a RMSE of 4.90 ∘ , which represents a two-fold reduction when compared with the uncompensated results (10.42 ∘ ). Thus, the RGB-D system with the proposed technique is an attractive non-invasive and low-cost option for joint angle assessment. The authors envisage the proposed vision system as a valuable tool for the development of game-based interactive environments and for assistance of healthcare professionals on the generation of functional parameters during motion analysis in physical training and therapy.
