Purpose - This study aims to analyze the influence of the dimensions of the organizational structure on the organizational learning capacity in a transport company. Design/methodology/approach - For this, we adopted as a research design the method of case study and for data collection and analysis, using the quantitative and qualitative procedures. For the purposes of this study, the choice was made of the Administrative Unit of Construction Equipment of a worldwide manufacturer of commercial vehicles. Findings - Among the results it was verified that: (i) an environment conducive to organizational learning must be supported by organizational organizational structures; (ii) the dimensions of centralization and integration when working in congruence tend to reinforce processes and levels of learning; (iii) the high degree of formalization has no influence on organizational learning capacity. Research limitations/implications - As limiting factors of the research, the cross-sectional approach is considered to study the theme of organizational learning. Still, the data collection in only one Unit of the company Alpha, the number of interviews carried out and the fact that it involves only managers from the commercial and sales sectors. Practical implications - The dimensions Centralization and Integration influence the Capacity for Organizational Learning. Originality/value - In order to develop an environment conducive to organizational learning, organizations should make use of more flexible structural forms, which encourage people's autonomy and freedom through decentralization.

Sabendo-se da importância de se ter uma estrutura adequada às características e objetivos estratégicos da instituição, o presente estudo tem como objetivo elaborar uma proposta de reestruturação organizacional ao SESC/RN, tomando como base a literatura disponível. Para o alcance desse objetivo, a pesquisa, que se classifica como exploratória e descritiva, utiliza a estratégia de estudo de caso, já que representa o estudo de uma realidade única. Dessa maneira foram entrevistados 37 responsáveis pelas diferentes Unidades Organizacionais do SESC/RN. A partir dos dados colhidos, tornou-se possível avaliar com mais profundidade os componentes da antiga Estrutura Organizacional do SESC/RN, de forma a se identificar as principais lacunas a ela relacionadas. Por fim, uma nova Estrutura Organizacional foi proposta à instituição, tomando como base o Método de Estruturação sugerido por Seiffert e Costa, e os Componentes Organizacionais de Mintzberg.

Objective/Context: In advanced democracies, political parties distribute their resources internally to make themselves stronger. Few studies examine the role of parties as intermediaries between campaign resources and candidates. Hence, we examine how political parties assigned campaign resources in 2014 election for federal deputies. Methodology: We tested the following hypothesis: resources from parties will be distributed to favor candidates holding office, at the expense of the party's organizational structure. Our hypothesis is grounded on the personalistic trait surrounding Brazil's political-electoral dynamics. Conclusions: Data indicates that parties assign their financial resources considering candidate's individual electoral potential, at the expense of their organizational structure. Such a strategy reveals that the organizational structure of Brazilian parties is not related to the party's strategy during elections. Originality: We show how often Brazilian political parties are "hijacked" by their elected representatives and, regardless of their organizational strength, party resources end up reinforcing the lack of competiveness and internal democracy within the organization.

Neste estudo, o nosso objetivo foi pensar a teoria das estruturas organizacionais em Mintzberg (1981, 2003) a partir de uma organização religiosa. Uma vez que estas organizações apresentam características peculiares enquanto sua institucionalização no âmbito social, político e cultural nas comunidades em que se fazem presentes, organizadas através do trabalho voluntário, solidariedade e crenças dogmáticas. Assim, para compreendermos a estrutural organizacional e suas características, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, por meio de entrevistas com diversas lideranças organizacionais, incluído figura do líder principal da organização. Conseguimos perceber uma estrutura organizacional com foco na burocracia mecanizada, composta por três partes organizacionais distintas coordenadas principalmente por meio do ajustamento mútuo.

Este estudo desenvolve um quadro teórico sobre as implicações das características organizacionais sobre o processo de gestão do conhecimento (GC). As características organizacionais são tratadas neste trabalho como constructos por se tratarem de conceitos complexos. Diversas publicações apresentam modelos e processos voltados à GC. Entretanto, existe uma lacuna na teoria sobre os fatores do ponto de vista do contexto interno que devem ser considerados. O estudo apresenta como resultado, a partir de um amplo levantamento teórico-conceitual, cinco constructos organizacionais que sustentam o processo de GC: recursos humanos, trabalho em equipe, cultura organizacional, estrutura organizacional e desenvolvimento e absorção de conhecimento. O estudo ainda levanta as implicações destes constructos em relação às quatro fases do processo de GC (aquisição, armazenamento, distribuição e utilização do conhecimento).

Esta pesquisa investiga como uma companhia muda após o processo de privatização, e como esta mudança acaba por influenciar sua total estrutura. Para tanto, o escopo desta pesquisa se concentrou em um estudo exploratório na AES Eletropaulo. A importância central do estudo no setor elétrico brasileiro é que esse setor tem sido sujeito a transformações mais radicais na financeirização desde 1990. No entanto, nenhuma pesquisa sobre as carreiras construídas de dirigentes nesse contexto brasileiro tem sido feita até agora. Como procedimento de pesquisa deste trabalho, combinaram-se os métodos quantitativo e qualitativo. A fim de analisar a carreira dos dirigentes da AES Eletropaulo, foram coletados os currículos do Conselho Administrativo e da Diretoria, desde o seu surgimento como empresa estatal em 1979, até o ano de 2012. Foi aplicada uma análise de correspondência múltipla para estudar esses currículos. Além disso, para complementar a pesquisa, foi realizada uma entrevista com o ex-presidente da empresa estudada. Como resultado, foi possível observar uma série de transformações que a AES Eletropaulo sofreu, principalmente que os dirigentes dessa empresa tiveram que buscar formas de reconstruir suas carreiras de acordo com a nova lógica do momento, voltada para financeira.

The corporations exert an apparent role regarding the spatial organization of capitalism. Such rationality passes through the unceasing search for diffusion of the productive conditions indispensable to the reproduction of capital in an extended action scale. The present paper seeks to redeem critically an approach of economic and geographic studies which had importance in the understanding of the relation among corporation, space, network organization and political-economic ties bound along with the State institutional apparatus. Aiming, in this condition, to give continuity to the theoretical support which aims at granting intelligibility for spatial plots of the great corporation, thus understood as Geography's subject of appreciation.

Este trabalho objetiva, por meio da abordagem de estudo de caso longitudinal, apresentar e analisar a mudança evolutiva da atuação e do desempenho do Escritório de Projetos (PMO) de uma empresa de base tecnológica. O estudo tem caráter exploratório enfocando o entendimento dos elementos que motivaram as transições ocorridas no PMO ao longo de 13 anos de atuação. Para tal, foram levantadas informações relativas às funções exercidas pelo PMO ao longo desse período, assim como as relações deste com gerentes e equipes de projetos, gerentes funcionais e alta administração. Dados representativos do desempenho dos projetos e do PMO são apresentados. Verificou-se que as tensões vivenciadas são os principais motivadores das mudanças, sendo estas determinadas pelas funções e resultados apresentados pelo escritório. O estudo permitiu construir um quadro explicativo das transições que atingem o PMO, o qual pode ser utilizado para a realização de estudos mais abrangentes e de caráter mais descritivo.

Este artigo apresenta os principais achados de uma pesquisa que teve como objetivo descrever as relações entre variáveis da estrutura organizacional, cultura organizacional e gestão de pessoas — considerando-se os pressupostos da abordagem de orientação para processos de negócio (Business Process Orientation/BPO) — e identificar a relação entre esses construtos e o desempenho organizacional, a partir das quatro dimensões críticas do balanced scorecard: financeira, cliente/mercado, processos/capacidades e aprendizado/crescimento. Foram utilizados dados de uma amostra de 368 empresas brasileiras de médio e grande porte. Por meio da modelagem de equações estruturais, foram analisadas as associações entre os construtos do modelo nomotético proposto. Os resultados apontam para a existência de associações positivas e estatisticamente significativas entre os construtos investigados, à exceção da relação entre o construto estrutura organizacional e desempenho organizacional. Os resultados da pesquisa, inclusive atinentes à associação não tão expressiva entre elementos de estrutura e do desempenho organizacional, sugerem que iniciativas em BPO podem afetar de forma contundente os resultados do desempenho organizacional, ampliando as discussões sobre o tema.

This teaching case was based on the story of a beauty salon that changed its organizational structure for two decades. It aims to demonstrate and analyze different configurations of organizational structure, with its characteristics and management challenges using as reference the model of configuration structures by Mintzberg (2015). The story of Sempre Bela Cabeleireiros discusses the creation and expansion of a beauty salon in a mid-sized city. The facts have shown that simple structure face difficulties in the transition to the professional bureaucracy, especially in the change of posture with decentralization of power. The teaching case might be used by undergraduate students in business administration in disciplines o fintrapreneurship and organizational management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This teaching case aims to promote the ability of analysis and decision-making in the face of changes in organizational structure, based on the configuration approach of Mintzberg (2015). The case is about the story and the changes occurred in a pizzeria with more than 30 years, which has 8 branches and more than 100 employees, situated in the second largest city in the State of Minas Gerais. The data were obtained in interviews with the manager of the company. Initially, the company, a pizzeria, had a simple structure, with characteristics of informal communication and centralization of decisions. As it was growing, the structure was transformed into a divisional structure, with process standardization, increase of formalization and decentralization of decision-making process. Due to the different settings that the company has adopted over the years, it becomes an excellent tool for teachers and undergraduate students in business administration review and work alternatives to organizational restructuring. Are also suggested alternative approaches to analyzing as succession process and franchising strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
