The purpose of this article is to analyze the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) manufacturing, aiming to identify the main practices of sustainability, including the values and transparency, internal audience, environment, supplier relationships, customer and/or consumer relationships, and community relationships. In order to develop this research, a questionnaire was applied on the subject in question, through which the companies were classified as to their reality in relation to corporate social responsibility. Based on the analysis, it was observed that five of these companies obtained a score that indicates that the companies have already assimilated the associated concepts and are clear of the necessary commitments for a socially responsible action. However, given the results obtained, it is possible to conclude that there is a need to strengthen the actions to be taken with regard to corporate social responsibility, since no company has positioned itself in excellence. In addition, some suggestions for new research were identified and discussed in the analysis of the results. and preservation of the environment are also valued items by customers and should therefore be considered by companies in their production systems [11].Due to market competition and globalization, companies are crossing a wide range of changes in their business environment, adopting more ethical procedures of corporate social action to achieve long-term goals, rather than focusing on the short-term perspective of profit creation [6,12].According to [6,13], the basic purpose of business is to provide profit and figure out ways to maximize earnings. In addition, the authors report that ventures are required to bear some indirect costs that are not directly related to profitability, and which are pressured to commit to in order to survive in a competitive market, one of which is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).As said by [14], a CSR presents a win-win scenario, allowing companies to simultaneously increase their profitability and produce social benefits [15]. CSR practices the fostering of relationships of trust between stakeholders, and in addition, sustainability-based business models help companies to create an environment of trust for innovation, which leads to the development of long-term competitiveness [16].In spite of the positive arguments to adopt social responsibility practices, there are some who are against social responsibility. On the other hand, there are certification standards such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 26000, in which the CSR refers to good corporate governance, operating ethically and sustainability, and carrying out a set of voluntary commitments to manage its impact in the social, environmental, and economic fields, obtaining the maximum benefits for the whole society [17,18].The literature on sustainable business practices has focused on large companies, such as multinationals, whose individual impacts are significant [19,20]. However, although SMEs ...
RESUMO O objetivo do artigo foi realizar uma análise dos efeitos do Novo Regime Automotivo e do Inovar-Auto quanto à produção nacional, exportação e importação de veículos automotores, através de avaliação comparativa destas duas políticas públicas. Para esta comparação foram utilizados dados reais da indústria automobilística, bem como informações obtidas através da promulgação de leis, medidas provisórias e decretos. Nenhum regime mostrou-se plenamente eficaz para ampliar a produção nacional em relação à produção mundial. O primeiro regime mostrou-se eficaz para ampliar as exportações relativas, contudo o mesmo não foi válido para o segundo regime e ambos os regimes se mostraram eficazes na redução das importações.
ResumoO objetivo deste trabalho é testar a existência do trade-off entre supervisão e salários em uma empresa do ramo metal mecânico no sul do Brasil. A metodologia utilizada para avaliar os efeitos sobre a produtividade e a eficiência dos trabalhadores foi o estimador de diferenças em diferenças. Avaliando os resultados, constatou-se que o aumento de supervisão gerou um aumento na produtividade entre 13,5% a 26,8%. Assim, com o aumento da produtividade, cabe à firma escolher entre aumentar o nível de supervisão ao custo de US$ 624,98 ou praticar salários eficiência ao custo de US$ 2.907,72.Palavras-chave: Salários eficiência. Supervisão. Insider Econometrics. AbstractThe objective of this work was to test the existence of a trade-off between supervision and wages in a metal mechanical firm in Southern Brazil. The methodology used to assess the effects on productivity and the worker efficiency was the differences-in-differences estimator. Evaluating the results, it was found that with increased supervision, there was an increase in productivity ranging between 13.5% and 26.8%. Therefore, with increased productivity, the company has to choose between increasing the level of supervision, at a cost of US$ 624.98 or practicing efficiency wages at a cost of US$ 2,907.72.
