This book offers students and practitioners alike an integrated approach to strategic planning for companies. Marcos Fava Neves presents a new and unique perspective on this critical topic based on three main points: strongly demand-driven decisions that bridge the gap between long- and short-term strategy; a vision of a company as an integrated network, full of relationships that deserve consideration during the planning process; and the introduction of 'collective-action' thinking, which raises the prospect for cooperation between competitors. With this clear, comprehensive framework for strategic planning, companies can be sure to navigate today's complex environment and enhance their prospects of success.
"Companies in food- and agribusiness chains and networks are facing ever-faster changes in the business environment, to which they must respond through continuous innovation. Societal concerns regarding animal welfare and environmental issues have to be met in a very competitive, increasingly global environment. The growing concern of consumers regarding the quality, traceability and environmental friendliness of products and processes call for fundamentally new ways of developing, producing and marketing products. New ways of organizing food supply networks, with new ties between firms and even between formerly separate sectors -such as the health and the food sector- are needed to cope with these new demands. This publication focusses on the dynamic response to these changes in chains and networks. Important topics include among others: critical success factors for design and control of innovative chains and networks, globalization of the business environment, effects of institutional and policy change, governance structures, technologies for managing interaction and design of information architectures for chains and networks."

Em dezembro de 2019, considerando a data da sua promulgação, a Emenda Constitucional n. 45, de 30 de dezembro de 2004, completou 15 (quinze) anos.

In the 1950s–80s, Brazil built one of the most advanced industrial networks among the "developing" countries, initially concentrated in the state of São Paulo. But from the 1980s, decentralization of industry spread to other states reducing São Paulo's relative importance in the country's industrial product. This volume draws on social, economic, and demographic data to document the accelerated industrialization of the state and its subsequent shift to a service economy amidst worsening social and economic inequality. Through its cultural institutions, universities, banking, and corporate sectors, the municipality of São Paulo would become a world metropolis. At the same time, given its rapid growth from 2 million to 12 million residents in this period, São Paulo dealt with problems of distribution, housing, and governance. This significant volume elucidates these and other trends during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, and will be an invaluable reference for scholars of history, policy, and the economy in Latin America.
Feeding the World documents the emergence of Brazil as an agricultural powerhouse during the second half of the twentieth century.
This book comprehensively examines the development of Brazilian agriculture by focusing on the crops which evolved from national products to international commodities on a massive scale. It traces the transformation of Brazil from a country with low-yield levels in 1950 to its current position as a leading world producer. The first section of the book examines the modernization of Brazilian agriculture through a government programme which transformed traditional agriculture through subsidized credit, guaranteed prices, stock purchases, land utilization laws, modern research, new technology and major support for exports. It also explores the changing structures of agricultural production and ...
Esta obra veio suprir uma lacuna que havia no universo trabalhista, pois apresenta comentários exclusivamente sobre os artigos relativos à parte processual da CLT. Essa opção metodológica inédita permitiu que os autores centrassem suas atenções no Direito Processual do Trabalho e, dessa forma, aprofundassem na análise dos dispositivos legais comentados. Por não se limitar a comentar aspectos sintáticos, mas sim identificar a verdadeira expressão semântica dos textos normativos, a obra vai além, pois não se descura da necessária e desejada aplicabilidade prática a partir das posições dos tribunais. Ao oferecer uma perspectiva hermenêutica alicerçada nas lições clássicas e também em teorias normativas contemporâneas, este livro consegue realizar um diálogo com o modelo constitucional de processo e com o processo civil. Todos esses aspectos enriquecem a obra e permitem que o leitor obtenha orientações seguras para sua atuação no processo do trabalho.
