As cidades absorvem a maior parte da população mundial. Nesse sentido, as mesmas devem buscar maior qualidade de vida dessa população crescente, através da promoção de espaços mais sustentáveis. O objetivo do presente estudo consiste em analisar os problemas urbanos atuais que interferem na sustentabilidade do Município de Serra Redonda-PB. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como descritiva, com análise qualitativa. Para levantamento dos problemas urbanos, utilizou-se o registro fotográfico e um checklist de problemas, além de documentos disponíveis em sites governamentais. Para a análise, tomou-se como base a legislação local, fundamentando toda a análise nas bases teóricas sobre espaço urbano e sustentabilidade urbana. Nos resultados foram evidenciados problemas oriundos da falta de políticas públicas e de um planejamento urbano, tais como calçadas irregulares, presença de degraus e corrimãos, falta de esgotamento sanitário, obstrução de vias, deposição inadequada de resíduos sólidos, ausência de infraestrutura e ruas estreitas, problemas estes que impactam e comprometem a mobilidade urbana e o espaço urbano de forma geral.
Social management is a broad multidisciplinary field; thus, it requires consensus among scholars. This paper responds to two questions: What elements and categories are prioritized in social management studies by Brazilian scholars? Is there novelty in the elements of SM at the Brazilian approach or it is a superposition with other international perspectives? The methods were lexical analysis, descending hierarchical classification techniques, correspondence analysis, and similarity analysis. The hierarchical clustering of elements extracted from the literature from 1990 to 2019 reveals that the field of social management has six dimensions and originated from previous studies about social participation, governance, and others. Despite the criticism on the concept, there is consensus among Brazilian authors; however, few new ideas emerge, showing a slow grown in the field, besides a low internationalization level. The advance of the praxis is minimizing the level of abstraction; Brazilian scholars defend the triad society, state, and market, but their studies focused more on state and society. On the contrary, international studies recognized the role of firms in social management. The differentiation of the Brazilian perspective of social management is a cognitive citizenship, educational and pedagogical process.
The research examines 129 coopetition models through a qualitative-quantitative study performed using the IRAMUTEQ software to provide the dimensions and variables with more representativeness in the coopetition strategy literature. We used three techniques: Lexical analysis, Descending Hierarchical Classification, and Similarity Analysis. The results showed one macro dimension and two subdimensions divided into six classes. The elements hierarchy was the Creation of coopetitive value, Coopetitive orientation, Strategic adjustment, Coopetitive alliances as determinants, Perceived benefits, and Organizational profile. Similarity analysis results validated both the hybrid nature of coopetition and applications of the construct in market environments and related to cooperative knowledge sharing.
The researchers study coopetition in various levels such as individual, intraorganizational or interorganizational. However, there is a gap in coopetition studies at the society level, at the meta-level. We consider Social Coopetition as the capacity of the society's stakeholders to work together, oriented to create social value to generate solutions to economic, social and environmental problems, providing local development based on cooperation and social commitment. This research has twofold objectives, i) to define Social Coopetition and propose its dimensions, ii) to validate a scale to measure coopetition at society level. An expert's panel analyzed 101 variables extracted by the literature review, and they selected 75 variables grouped in 7 dimensions as a qualitative pre-validation. In the sequence, we performed an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to validate the scale. Our findings indicated 12 dimensions could express the social coopetition level: social asymmetry, perceptions of individual and collective benefits, socio-political characteristics, communication, competition, social competence, social commitment, previous experience, social governance, interdependence, technological and innovation level and cultural similarity. The findings provide a scale to monitor the social coopetition through 48 variables. Our results bring a novel in the coopetition field and have theoretical and practical implications. The findings explore a new coopetition level. Also, it provides a tool for municipal management to improve the coopetition strategies performance toward the generation of social value.
