Diante das ações globais de expansão de estratégias de produção e consumo sustentáveis, este artigo objetiva agregar princípios de economia circular no processo de desenvolvimento de produtos em arranjos produtivos locais. A metodologia contemplou uma revisão sistemática da literatura e análises documentais, possibilitando, a partir da identificação das particularidades dos arranjos, a composição de um modelo de desenvolvimento de produtos orientado ao pensamento do ciclo de vida e à economia circular.

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the adherence of social responsibility management (SRM) in Brazilian organizations and to identify the driving and the resistance forces to implement it. Design/methodology/approach This article presents a deep literature review on SRM, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and stakeholder management, which aim to support a survey research to define, according to experts, the market perception of adherence of SRM. Findings The paper presents evidence that there is adherence on the part of the practices of organizations that adhere to the theoretical foundations of SRM in Brazil. It was found that organizations should seek to improve nine areas to implement SRM and can use each of these areas strategically or all together. Practical implications This study provides an opportunity for employees whose perceptions are aligned based on educational programs and engagement in CSR, and these gains favor the improvement of their own management and the quality of relationships. Social implications The research provides an opportunity to recast actions and the possibility of being recognized by stakeholders as active agents in this process. Originality/value This study sheds new light on both SRM and the CSR literature because of its attempt to bridge the theoretical foundations and market practices, which was performed to verify the gaps in corporative SRM process of Brazilian organizations. This study highlights for researchers and practitioners a relevant field of study whose importance is widely recognized but whose results remain scarce and limited.

Sustainability has become a relevant element for organizations due to several motivators: companies adopt sustainability practices in need for regulatory compliance, anticipation of regulatory changes, understanding of limited natural resources, and a desire to limit expenditure associated with resource consumption and waste disposal. Thus, this article aims to identify the gaps present in maturity models, present an integrator theoretical model that considers the characteristic elements of the models present in the literature and affects the level of maturity in sustainability. The construction of the integrator theoretical model was based on the following stages: research questions; theoretical framework on Supply Chain Management; sustainability and concept of maturity model; maturity models and performance measurement systems; interpretation/analysis of research; and construction of the integrator theoretical model. The literature review was carried out in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The main conclusions: maturity models focus on only one aspect or are excessively broad and do not include in detail the elements necessary to measure the level of maturity in sustainability. The proposed model aims to mitigate these gaps with the addition of the cross-sectional dimension, which offers an integrated and holistic view in relation to the other dimensions.

Este trabalho propõe identificar a gestão de pessoas como um facilitador para a gestão de riscos, através de análises de APRs (analise preliminar de risco) em atividades significantes, considerando os acidentes de trabalho, na indústria da construção civil. A relevância deste segmento implica na necessidade de criação e desenvolvimento de novas práticas de gestão objetivando minimizar os riscos relacionados à segurança e a saúde do trabalhador. Os autores apresentam as atividades com o maior índice de acidentes, e consolidam a importância da metodologia utilizada, estimulando as partes interessadas, principalmente a alta direção e os colaboradores, a perceberem e assumirem a responsabilidade frente aos problemas de segurança e saúde ocupacional e conscientizarem-se da necessidade de mudança na filosofia da produção. A partir da compreensão desses conceitos os autores apresentam estudo de caso em 02 atividades da construção civil, que historicamente apresentam o maior número de acidentes de trabalho, com o objetivo de evidenciar a importância desta pesquisa.

This article is about a case study based on the participation and contact with dynamized activities through action plans for the circular economy in Europe, specifically in Portugal. It aims to identify the main in-progress actions and the challenges for the diffusion of the circular economy in the Portuguese nation and draw a panorama for Brazil, transiting through different data sources, economic sectors and stakeholders. Through data triangulation, the investigative plan contemplated participatory observations in workshops, interviews with experts, documental analyses and means of communication. After going through data cross checking for validation, the content was aggregated to a strategic analysis matrix. As a result, it was possible to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges associated with the growth of the circular economy in Portugal, as well as to indicate directions and possibilities in the Brazilian context. It is possible to realize, for both countries, the importance of the international benchmarking for the recognition and promotion of circular economy actions, besides the necessity to revise laws aligned with the internal e external market rules, by increasing the offer of circular products and services.

Introduction Many attempts to apply quality management practices have been carried out in healthcare services (Ruiz & Simon, 2004), which generally lack an efficient management system. Long waiting times, unnecessary increase in the number of examinations, high operating costs, staff shortages, and medical errors are some of the recurring problems in health services (Silberstein, 2006). In this sense, it is necessary for managers and leaders of healthcare organizations to understand their processes, improving them in order to provide a treatment that is safer, more efficient and better qualifyed. In recent years, discussions have centered on the potential of applying principles
