With the death of the organization ́s founder and president, in 2004, the company passed through various restructuring, purchasing and selling processes, which almost led to a state of bankruptcy. In November, 2008, after a new purchase, Gerusa needed to decide whether or not to accept a new remuneration package offered by the owners, considerably lower than the salary that she had been receiving before. This teaching case can be used with undergraduate and graduate students in the classroom, based on the themes: Organizational Culture, Career Management (of older workers), personal and organizational values, motivation, interpersonal trust, negotiation, organizational and decision-making processes. Data and information were obtained in July and December, 2012, through semi-structured interviews with PA director Márcio Mansur, sales executive Gerusa Maria Milli and COO Homero Ferreira.","PeriodicalId":49119,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Applications of Categories","volume":"3 1","pages":"152-167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2013-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68208282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim was to contribute to building a training program, focusing on the teachers’ reality, especially the complexity and lack of results dissemination in this area. We established the following overall objective: to see how teachers develop their skills and relate which skills are essential and the most important for performing academic duties. The methodology consisted of a quantitative survey using a questionnaire, with a descriptive character. This study is important because it contributes to understanding how skills were configured in the management program and how they related to the need to encourage continuing education, which can guide further studies on the subject in Higher Education Institutions in the Amazonas.","PeriodicalId":49119,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Applications of Categories","volume":"3 1","pages":"79-94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2013-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68208547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposal is to enable students to analyze prospects for continued investment, either from the private or public sector. The dilemma presented puts students in the position of mill owners, who must decide in which of the products derived from sugar cane to invest: sugar, ethanol, bioelectricity or product diversification, higher value-added and/or environmentally friendly, as in the case of bioplastics. As a result, it is expected that students can perform an analysis of the conditions of competitive advantage and strategic positioning based on Porter’s Diamond model and other theories about Clusters.","PeriodicalId":49119,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Applications of Categories","volume":"3 1","pages":"126-151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2013-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68208456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this goal, a structured electronic questionnaire was sent to a set of organizations that use an electronic procurement portal. SED is one that can be transmitted or stored in digital media, and if in accordance with the technical procedures defined by the ICP-Brazil (Medida provisória no 2.200-2, 2001), assumes the same legal validity as documents issued on paper and physically signed. The organizational impacts of SED adoption on the electronic procurement portal were analyzed according to the following categories: in the acquisition or development of computer systems; user training; in the flow of procurement processes; in organizational change through user resistance; process time reduction; and in improving purchasing process efficiency. The study shows that adherence to secure electronic documents is still very discreet in the organizations surveyed, although its use provides a significant reduction in costs and time in the process flow. The highlight was the high costs inherent in the acquisition and development of computerized systems.","PeriodicalId":49119,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Applications of Categories","volume":"3 1","pages":"95-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2013-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68208646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The history of Azambuja Street starts with the emergence of trade in wholesale clothing and also a history of entrepreneurship and strategic adaptation. The case’s educational objectives can be outlined as follows: (a) understand the impact in organizations generated by changes in the economy, (b) analyze the process of strategic adaptation in the case, (c) relate the context of strategic adaptation to a practical example of entrepreneurship. The case can be used in undergraduate and graduate Business Administration programs, to cover issues relating to management, strategy and entrepreneurship.

However, many of the tools used come from the for-profit administration domain and therefore are not completely adapted to the changing political context of public organizations, as well as the management fluctuations in public agencies. Much knowledge has been produced in the area, but there are still gaps in relation to municipal government performance management. The aim of this study is to contribute to this gap by proposing a theoretical basket of indicators suitable for small municipalities and a ‘dashboard’-like tool that allows monitoring the various functions performed by municipalities in terms of efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":49119,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Applications of Categories","volume":"3 1","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2013-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68207969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
