“…From this view, we suggest that managers should consider how to translate the practices of quality management into superior operational performance. This idea has also been demonstrated by Cristina and Gramani [72]. These authors used a two-stage Data Envelopment Analysis model to divide operational and financial performance, which had always been mixed in previous studies, into two separated parts.…”

Quality management practices have become increasingly important as firms seek to obtain quality certifications to dominate markets. To date, adequate research evaluating the effects of quality management is lacking. In this work, we used Chinese quality awards to evaluate a firm's quality level. A PSM-DiD (propensity score matching and difference-in-difference) model describing the relationship between quality award effects and financial benefits in terms of return on assets was developed. We further used a hierarchical regression to examine the influence of operational performance on financial benefits. The results show that quality awards cannot assure their winners a higher return on asset. Indicators of operating performance, such as less lead time and higher inventory turnover, can significantly enhance firms' profitability. The moderating effects of operational performance suggest that firms may focus on how to translate quality management practices into business improvement. This study also contributes to the operation management literature by describing how firms need outstanding financial performance for sustainable development and continuous improvement.Sustainability 2020, 12, 1966 2 of 23 for Just-in-Time (JIT) and Six Sigma, respectively, their products still suffer from serious quality-related problems [7].In addition, operational performance is considered to play an important role in quality management practices. Operational performance is defined as the strategic dimensions of competing firms and consists of operational level indicators, such as flexibility and delivery [8]. The results of quality management systems are also shown in operational levels. However, few studies have explored the effects of operational performance on financial benefits. In addition, researchers may merely consider one dimension of operational performance, such as efficiency [9] or inventory [10]. These studies failed to provide a complete description of the influence of operational performance on financial benefits.This study aims to fill the above research gaps by answering the following two questions: (1) How do quality management practices affect firms' financial benefits? (2) What is the relationship between operational performance and financial benefits?We use quality award winners as the research samples and examine whether these firms can obtain a higher return on assets than their counterparts. The results show that the awarded firms could not achieve significant improvement and that the effects of the awards are not obvious. In addition, we explore the impact of operational performance on the return on assets. The findings demonstrate that less lead time and a higher inventory turnover can enhance the financial benefits. Additionally, decreasing the operating costs and tracking sales more closely can improve the return on assets. Besides this, we also find that shorter lead time and larger inventory turnover can positively moderate the impact of quality awards on the ROA.This study contributes to previous rese...

With the development of technology and the increasing of globalization, the air transportation sector has started to be used extensively. However, leasing, purchasing and maintenance of aircraft, which have vital importance for airline operators require large investments. This situation leads business partners and managers to be more cautious. In this respect, The most important duties of airline managers are to carry out the activities related to the air transportation, to try to estimate the passenger and freight demand accurately and completely and to increase the profitability of the enterprise. In recent years, along with the liberalization movements in the field of aviation and the arrangements made, the air transportation sector has turned into a sector where competition is more intense. This situation requires

“…O mutirão era uma forma de trabalho coletiva entre pessoas da comunidade, que se uniam para a derrubada da mata, cuidados com o roçado, puxada de peixe ou varação de canoa. Depois de um dia de trabalho coletivo, um fandango, como forma de pagamento, era oferecido pelo dono da casa ou da terra que havia sido trabalhada, aqueles que o haviam ajudado (CORRÊA; GRAMANI, 2006). Era neste espaço também que se faziam as transmissões dos saberes.…”

A afinação “pelas três” da viola fandangueira de Morretes no estado do Paraná

O presente artigo trata de um estudo sobre o fandango do município de Morretes, no Estado do Paraná (PR), tendo como marco teórico da pesquisa a obra A arte de pontear viola (2002), do Professor Doutor Roberto Nunes Corrêa. A esta pesquisa soma-se um estudo descritivo do processo de autoaprendizagem, desenvolvido pelo próprio pesquisador, a respeito da afinação “pelas três” da viola fandangueira do povo do Nhundiaquara. O fandango de Morretes se diferencia dos demais fandangos caiçaras por constituir formas de improviso, afinação das violas e formas diferentes de bater o tamanco na dança tradicional da cultura. Foram encontradas informações divergentes descritas na literatura de referências históricas e respeitadas, como o Professor Roberto Corrêa, autoridade que trouxe para o cenário brasileiro o registro das afinações da viola fandangueira. A principal ocorrência da contradição que será apontada ao longo do texto, é a forma com que o autor relata em seu livro (pág. 38) a afinação utilizada pelo violeiro Waldemar Cordeiro, sendo que a afinação apresentada como a “pelas três” no livro do autor é a afinação “pelo meio”, tradicional afinação conhecida na Ilha dos Valadares, Paranaguá (PR). As informações que contrapõe os relatos do autor são oriundas do Dossiê de Registro do Fandango Caiçara: Expressões de um Sistema Cultural, publicado, em dezembro de 2011, pelo Instituto de Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN). O presente artigo tem como intenção registrar, com respeito às obras anteriormente publicadas, a afinação chamada “pelas três” de maior incidência no fandango morretense, corrigindo um equívoco na importante literatura apresentada, a fim de cooperar com o reconhecimento cultural e disseminação do conhecimento tradicional do fandango caiçara brasileiro. Por fim, aponta-se para necessidade de pesquisas futuras no sentido de entender quais são as técnicas de execução que diferenciam a viola no sistema “pelas três” dos demais.
