This article describes the experience of the Municipality of Veranópolis in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, with the Project "Garbage is your responsibility", foreseen in the Veranópolis Resilient City Program. The research method is applied in nature, with a descriptive objective and a qualitative approach. The technical procedure used was field study. The Project aimed to improve knowledge about the separation and correct disposal of solid waste and promote a culture of environmental preservation. To this end, we invited six Municipal Schools and two Private Schools, professionals from the public and private sectors and non-governmental organization, totaling more than 3,000 participants, for a period of five months. The results show that the implementation of the Project achieved the participation and collaboration of all those involved. In addition to the engagement of students, teachers, families and the community in the delivery and receipt of teaching materials and the correct disposal of waste.

Keenedy historical campain speeches in the earliest 60s when very opptimistically he used to say that In the Chinese language, the word "crisis" (weiji) is composed of two characters, one representing danger (wei) and the other, opportunit y(ji), although actually the second part (ji) means more something that we are calling now Tipping Point. As we could follow on the daily news today we are now going through a Cathastrofic Convergence of heavy impacts processes related to delicate sanitary, climate and geopolitical risks. All these representing heavy challlenges, at local and global levels, for which we are not well prepared, and may take great efforts to somehow jointly learn to overcome, particularly at these deglobalization times, and where we observe an increasing concentration of wealth and well-being and particularly a lack of care concerning socia...

The demand for food will increase because of population growth, especially in developing economies. The problem is reinforced by the lack of water and reduction in food production. Today the consumption of water for food production is high because people do not realize that this is a scarce resource and that can definitely missing. We must create a policy for the management of water and that people are informed that it is not possible to use the feature without any control. The governance of water is important to establish ways and use control mechanisms and implementation of the resource in the various production processes. The waste during the manufacturing process is very high because: a) there is no control on the amount that should be applied to each type of agricultural product; b) the irrigation process is still done by equipment spraying water in large quan...

To clarify the theoretical bias and encourage approaches on the topic, that is slowly gaining space, the basic concepts are first considered before going into the central focus of this work regarding potential organizational trends in the management of cultural diversity in Brazil and linked mainly to the processes of attraction and selection of talents. For this purpose, data from a recent survey of 109 Organizations in Brazil, allows to see how the concept management applied in an integral and uniform way in the organizational culture - and permeating all its processes – reflexes positively into business performance in addition to representing the practice of a social responsibility activity that is inher...

The statistical models were developed using several Multivariate Analysis techniques as well as some ideas that come from Information Theory. For testing the image quality models, four different and very popular image compression algorithms were used. Moreover, for efficiency comparison purposes, a poll was used to obtain a subjective measure of image quality. As a result of this work two new statistical image quality criteria were developed that in general behave better than the classical ones based on a global measure of the Mean Quadratic Error. © 2000 VSP.83225244Baran, N., Fractal compression goes on-line (1993) Byte, 18 (10), p. 40. , SeptemberBarnsley, A.D., Sloan, M.E., A better way to compress images (1988) Byte, 13 (1), pp. 215-223. , JanuaryBarnsley, M., (1988) Fractals Everywere, , Academic Press, Inc.

With this in mind, the methodology integrates insights from the stakeholder’s theory and the resource-based views to sharpen the strategic base for CSR investment. Quantitative research techniques have been used to discover how the hospitality business organizations are creating shared value for themselves and for society. Correlation and Regression analysis tested the relationship between Strategic CSR (in terms of the organizational benefits) against the firms’ commitment, behavior and resources devoted to CSR. From the findings a research a model is derived to determine the synergistic value creation for businesses and society.peer-reviewe

Evolutionary Theory was chosen because it presented an alternative to Contingency Theory and Ecology of Organizational Populations because their assumptions do not defend the contingent determinism, or the inertia of the population respectively. As a result, we assume that the routines in the Evolutionary Theory of organizations can be classified into: isomorphic, or emerging. Furthermore, We advocate organizations as living beings try to move away from the initial forms seeking greater ability to survive.

The authors of this paper underscore the benefits of a workshop-based methodology for developing a vision and an approach to the inner processes of creation that can be used to increase resilience, to cope with societal vulnerabilities and to develop the tools for future planning at local, regional and global scales. Diverse areas of discourse ranging from climate science and sustainability, to psychoanalysis, linguistics and eco-philosophy, contributed meaningfully to the transdisciplinary approach for enhancing resilience. A framework is proposed that can be used throughout society, that integrates the importance of human subjectivity and the variability of human contexts, especially gender, in shaping human experiences and responses to clim...

The territorial unit considered in the study is the municipality, highlighting the existing possibility in Brazil of implanting a model of participatory management on taking into account the large number of small municipalities existing in the Country. The problematic of large cities is also analyzed, recognizing, however, the greater difficulty of articulation among the representative players of society, based on the exogenous forces engaging within these regions. In order to study the management process, the contexts that support the concept of sustainable development and the form of organizing the economic activities will be defined. In the discussion of management properly stated, emphasis will be given to administrative decentraliz...

A diferencia de otros estudios, se encuentran aqui rendimientos anormales positivos proximos a los dias que preceden a la fecha de vigencia de la nueva cartera del indice. Los resultados se invierten para periodos mayores que el periodo de calculo del indice. Los volumenes son anormalmente altos. Los rendimientos anormales no persisten a lo largo de la ventana de entrada, lo que es consistente con la hipotesis de presion de precios y puede considerarse compatible con la forma de eficiencia semifuerte del mercado.
Strategic Groups within the BRIC’s Oil & Gas Industry: A Cluster Analyses Approach

Groups formed considered key dimensions reflecting firms' strategic orientations. In general the recent literature analysis BRICs multinationals like a group of companies with the same strategies and that they are under the same competitive conditions. Here we contest this fact and we try to show through the concept of strategic groups and regional multinational that the common analysis of BRIC companies could be wrong. We use data from 34 oil and gas companies listed in Fortune 500 to make clusters analysis from revenues, profit, employee number and stockholder equity; also we use cases analyses of nine BRICs companies in this group to understand the strategic behavior. The results show that 1) BRIC companies do not belong to a unique strategic group although they have very similar performance; 2) BRIC oil and gas companies are not global multinational but they are more like regional companies according Rugmans theory. Key-words: strategic group; regional strategies; BRICs Oil & Gas industries

Surveys of smart city rankings and indexes were carried out to verify which cities are standing out in certain dimensions. It was found that blockchain technology enables very good results in the articulation of the autopoietic, self-regulating and sustainable smart city. In collecting data on the degree of applicability of the blockchain, carried out with market experts in the use of this technology, it was identified that the application of the blockchain has greater emphasis on the brain and less emphasis on the Locomotor System of cities.
