Entrepreneurship stimulates economic growth, creates jobs, and provides opportunities for independence and self-realization. Over the last 10 years, policy makers around the globe have been actively pursuing the elusive goal of an entrepreneurial economy. Often building on existing Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise (SME) policy, efforts have been taken to encourage entrepreneurship by, for example, reducing red-tape and improving access to financing. However, these efforts do not appear to be having the hoped effect of fostering more entrepreneurship. Starting from the maturing field of literature that applies cognitive science to entrepreneurship, this thesis examines what motivates entrepreneurs to start new ventures. I then use this understanding to develop policy options that aim to directly target individuals and foster more entrepreneurship as a unique interdisciplinary contribution to the literature on entrepreneurship policy. This thesis develops a framework for a cognitive approach to policy, which aims to put the entrepreneur at the heart of entrepreneurship policy. The cognitive approach is a tool for policy-makers to enable them to more readily understand entrepreneurs' mindsets and the policy options that can foster entrepreneurial intentions in their constituencies. In applying the cognitive approach to the entrepreneurial environment, this thesis shows that the types of policies necessary for fostering entrepreneurship are different from those currently favored by policy makers. Unlike SME policies, fostering entrepreneurship requires policies that help individuals build self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions through personal experiences, networks, feedback and mentorship. In the final chapters, the cognitive framework is applied to the MIT-Portugal Program, demonstrating how to apply this framework pragmatically and highlighting considerations for exporting entrepreneurship curricula from MIT to Portugal.

The study of social systems has increasingly relied on data collection and analysis to draw conclusions. In parallel, the research community has often tried to understand entrepreneurs quantitatively, e.g. by understanding which behaviours or personality traits most often correlated with entrepreneurial success. While a quantified representation is essential in modeling what is being studied, it hides away the mental processes that create behaviours. Arguably, the people who engage the most directly with systemic change are entrepreneurs. They have to create their own system (a company) and connect it to its wider network (clients, investors, etc.). Most importantly, the more uncommon their idea is, the less they can rely on existing frames to bring their ideas to fruition, and the more they have to reflect on the dynamics of their wider context and how their company can integrate to it.
According to constructive-developmental theory (CDT), the ability to see context dynamically is not a personality trait, but a structure of perception. Our meaning-making--how we create that perception of the world--grows in complexity as we delve into our reflections. CDT makes the separation between a structure in which value is defined by the contexts that we are in, and the next more complex one, where the self defines value. This thesis is an early attempt at understanding the experience of systemic change, and the growth in perception that happens along-side it. By bringing CDT and associated theories of the mind into the experience of entrepreneurship, I sought to understand how entrepreneurs make meaning of themselves in the course of their growth, by asking them directly. This is the first known study that maps the meaning-making complexity of entrepreneurs using the subject-object interview, CDT's qualitative empirical research method.
I found that, as perception became more intrinsic, the definition of value went from seeking to have what we wish to have, to leaving a legacy through impact, to acting in harmony with our meaning of value. Instead of seeking purpose, entrepreneurs who perceive intrinsically act on the one they already have. Instead of seeking value, they share it with others in all their interactions.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 78-80).
Street vending remains one of the most highly regulated and least understood activities in New York City. The current regulatory framework is overly confusing and complex, leaving policy decisions about who gets to vend and where to the discretion of private interests represented by Business Improvement Districts. There is an estimated ten to twelve thousand street vendors today of which half operate outside any regulatory framework. A historical analysis of street vending policies in New York City reveals a legacy of political and social biases that have influenced contemporary regulatory framework toward vending. Exploratory case studies in Sunset Park and Midtown Community Court illustrate new strategies that are being used today by a Business Improvement District and a criminal justice institution to address vending problem at its root causes. Such strategies break away from traditional prescriptions that focused largely on punitive enforcement measures. A new policy framework for regulating street vending should break the legacy of bias and create a transparent decision making environment that recognizes street vending a right to economic livelihood. Such vending policies should also remain flexible to the nuance of neighborhood scale and need.

Full textThe South African government, to accelerate economic growth and development, has identified the Small Medium Micro Enterprises (SMME) sector, and female entrepreneurs, as vehicles capable of bringing about this change. Unfortunately, this growth has been stifled due to the high failure rate of entrepreneurial businesses in the SMME sector. A possible solution for female entrepreneurs is the introduction of start-up support services to empower them to be successful. Empowering entrepreneurs is the function of nurturing and supporting entrepreneurs by providing them with professional skills development and moral support, to impact positively on the business’s sustainability. There is a clear need to widen access to business start-up training and advice to encourage larger numbers of women to embrace self-employment. This implies offering a wide range of start-up support services which encourage women to go into business. Women enter business from a variety of backgrounds and with a wide range of experience. The provision of business start-up training and advice needs to accommodate these very different experiences. Women attending entrepreneurship programmes have often criticised these programmes as being male-orientated and prescriptive. Women are expected to conform to male models and standards of behaviour. While this study relates specifically to female entrepreneurs in the Western Cape, it is set in the context of female entrepreneurship in South Africa. The target population for the research was 150 female entrepreneurs in the Tourism industry in the Western Cape. The study is quantitative in nature, using the survey method for better understanding of the research problem. The study aimed to understand the needs of female entrepreneurs, and to underscore the significance of skills and knowledge transfer from the government to female entrepreneurs. The research explored the role of government in empowering female entrepreneurs in the Tourism industry in Western Cape, and identified support services that can be used to promote the growth and development of female entrepreneurs. Possible solutions to failure rates of female entrepreneurship are also addressed, with specific models for improved business support services for all female entrepreneurs in the Tourism industry in the Western Cape. This will help them to run sustainable businesses as well as provide more jobs. This research recommends that management capability and financial management acumen be regarded as key to success for funding by the entrepreneurs themselves, and the parties involved in supporting and promoting them.

Full textAgenda setting is about how some issues get onto the policy agenda for discussion and action why others do not. Drawing critically on the ―policy windows‖ approach of J.W Kingdon (2003) this dissertation will describe and explain the shifting of policy agendas in health with reference to human resources in Zambia between 2000 and 2006. This research explores how and why the issue of human resource shortages in health became prominent on the state‘s agenda in 2005.The research is a qualitative study and data was collected using both primary and secondary sources of data across various stakeholders in the country. It tested the applicability of Kingdon‘s conceptual framework to a case study of Zambian health policy by analysing the degree to which agenda-formation is influenced by such factors as issue definition, the presence of policy alternatives, presidential support, interest group advocacy, media attention, political cycles, and public opinion. The general elections scheduled for the following year, coupled with media attention and strong public action contributed to the selection of the human resource crisis as an issue on the state‘s agenda for serious action. Furthermore, the slow progress on the attainment of the health related Millennium Development Goals and the poor performance of some donor funded programmes necessitated the state to act. Despite some weaknesses, Kingdon‘s multiple streams approach was found to be useful in explaining the agenda-setting of the Human Resources for Health Strategic Plan (2006-2010) in Zambia.

Neste trabalho analisamos o posicionamento político dos empresários industriais mineiros, filiados à Federação das Indústrias do Estado de Minas Gerais,em relação às diretrizes do II Plano Nacional de Desenvolvimento. Destaca-se que o empresariado mineiro filiado a FIEMG não contestou politicamente os militares, concentrando seu discurso na reivindicação de cumprimento das diretrizes econômicas criadas com o II PND, em especial a perspectiva de desconcentração da economia brasileira. Assim, ao contrário da FIESP, que em boa medida aderiu, a partir do II PND, à campanha pela desestatização e aproximou-se de um posicionamento crítico em relação ao regime militar, a FIEMG manteve-se à distância de tal perspectiva e acolheu positivamente o II PND. Assinala-se que a posição da FIEMG deriva da percepção da oportunidade de enfrentar os problemas do desenvolvimento mineiro através do apelo ao Estado, presente em diferentes momentos da trajetória do desenvolvimento brasileiro, mas especialmente marcante em Minas Gerais, sendo recorrente na prática do empresário do estado.
This study analyzes the political position of the industrial entrepreneurs from Minas Gerais, affiliated to the Federation Industries of State of Minas Gerais, in relation to the directives of the Second National Development Plan. It is noteworthy that the industrial entrepreneurs affiliated with FIEMG not politically challenged the military, focusing their speech on the claim of compliance with the economic guidelines created with the II PND, in particular, the prospect of decentralization of the Brazilian economy. Thus, unlike the FIESP, which largely adhered, because the II PND, the campaign for privatization and approached a critical position in relation to the military regime, FIEMG remained at a distance from such perspective and welcomed positively II PND. It is noted that the position of FIEMG derives from the perception of opportunity to tackle the development problems of Minas Gerais by appealing to the State, present at different times of the trajectory of Brazilian development, but especially striking in Minas Gerais, with a significant trace in class practice of the entrepreneur in the state.

Full text¿Por qué y cómo las sociedades transforman las reglas ambientales del desarrollo económico, o fracasan en hacerlo? Este artículo compara las experiencias de Chile y Perú en la regulación de las actividades de las fundidoras de metales entre 1990 y 2010. La contaminación del aire por parte de las fundidoras en Chuquicamata y La Oroya, sitios mineros emblemáticos de ambos países, no generó protestas nacionales desestabilizadoras. Sin embargo, pese a la ausencia de un fuerte descontento debido a la contaminación, las reglas ambientales para la minería pudieron ser mejoradas como resultado del trabajo de redes de activistas (policy network activism) y a través de canales institucionales altamente idiosincráticos. El análisis muestra que los emprendedores de políticas públicas (policy entrepreneurs) para Chuquicamata se fortalecieron por un ambiente institucional nacional que favoreció la autonomía burocrática, mientras que una acción paralela en La Oroya fue frenada por una economía política enmarcada en la debilidad estatal y el poco interés de las élites.

Full textFrench and German SME belong to a category of firms which stand out from an important heterogeneity. Due to the wide variety of companies which compose the category of SMES, an overall theoretical framework hasn’t been defined. These firms are not only distinguished from large companies by their small size but also by their greater flexibility and reactivity, their proximity to their customers and close localized links with suppliers etc. Additionally, there is also a difference between SMEs according to their home country. Several reports have highlighted the difference of French SMEs and those of the German Mittelstand. The latter would be larger in size, more innovative and more active internationally than their French counterparts. These reports also show that France could have superior performance in terms of growth, employment, competitiveness and international activities if we could generate a French Mittelstand supporting SMEs through targeted measures. Contrary to the idea we have of the German Mittelstand, it does not boil down to a category of companies identifiable by their size, but rather to a concept based on an entrepreneurial culture favored by the German ecosystem. Our analysis focuses first on these companies constituting the Mittelstand to highlight their characteristics and their differences compared to French SMEs.In a second step, our study focuses on the support that SMEs in both countries benefit and to what extent one could draw inspiration from the German support or model to increase the performance of French SMEs
Französische und deutsche KMU sind Teil eines Kontingents von Unternehmen, die sich durch eine große Heterogenität auszeichnen. Die Heterogenität der Unternehmen, aus denen die KMU-Kategorie besteht, ist der Hauptgrund, warum ein einziger theoretischer Rahmen, der sie betrifft, nicht definiert werden konnte. KMU unterscheiden sich von größeren Unternehmen nicht nur durch ihre geringere Größe, sondern auch durch ihre größere Flexibilität, ihre Reaktionsfähigkeit, ihre Nähe zu ihren Kunden und enge lokale Verbindungen zu ihren Lieferanten usw. Darüber hinaus stellt man Unterschiede unter KMU fest, die aus verschieden Herkunftsländern kommen. In mehreren Berichten wurde der Unterschied zwischen französischen und deutschen KMU hervorgehoben. Die letzteren seien größer, innovativer und aktiver als die französischen alter ego. Dieselben Berichte zeigen, dass Frankreich bessere Ergebnisse in Bezug auf Wachstum, Beschäftigung, Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und internationale Aktivitäten erzielen könnte, wenn es möglich wäre einen französischen Mittelstand hervorzubringen. Der deutsche Mittelstand ist nicht nur eine durch ihre Größe identifizierbare Kategorie von Unternehmen, sondern ein Konzept, das auf einer vom deutschen Ökosystem begünstigten Unternehmenskultur basiert. Unsere Analyse konzentriert sich zunächst auf die Merkmale, die französische KMU von denen des Mittelstands unterscheiden. Zweitens konzentriert sich unsere Studie auf die öffentliche Unterstützung, von der französische und deutsche KMU profitieren, und inwieweit man sich von der deutschen öffentlichen Unterstützung inspirieren lassen kann, um die Leistungsfähigkeit französischer KMU zu steigern

Full textThis dissertation purpose to show that, at the formulation stage of national tax breaks concession policy, there are no obstacles impending the governments agenda imposition. Rather, this stage is marked by Executives discretion in the frequent presentation of Provisional Measures that create tax breaks. Also, the process is not closed to participation, because during the course of these proposals in Congress, this is liable of privileged interest groups action seeking their portion of distributive benefits. On the other hand, there are significant barriers imposed at the implementation stage of the tax breaks proposals. Because there is a policy of difficult monitoring, its execution is liable to impasses, negotiations and attempts to build consensus among sectors of the public bureaucracy and the latter with external control agencies, compelling an incremental path to the implementation stage, and hampers the evaluation of efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness of tax breaks. Furthermore, the national tax breaks concession policy has path dependence characteristics, because, to solving specific problems at retail, has become the most practicable option of governmental action in the absence of a comprehensive tax reform.

Full textThis thesis analyses the formulation and implementation of economic policy in Brazil during the administrations of Jânio Quadros and João Goulart (1961-1964). The main objective is to understand why the Brazilian government was unable to tackle the countrys most urgent economic problems, such as rising inflation and a mounting balance of payments crisis. To do so, the study explores the way social groups, including entrepreneurs, workers, and representatives of foreign nation states, influenced economic policy outcomes. Making use of a wide range of data from confidential employers reports, labor periodicals and commercial newspapers, through to official government sources from Brazil, the U.K. and U.S. the thesis concludes that interest groups reactions are fundamental to explaining why economic programs failed in the early 1960s. While during the administration of Jânio Quadros employers attitudes played a major role, in the final phase of João Goularts presidency, a great distributional struggle broke out between capital and labor, setting the stage for the collapse of Celso Furtados Three-Year Plan. The findings are of great relevance given scholars general recognition that the inadequacy of the Brazilian government in tackling economic problems had a decisive impact on the fall of democracy in 1964, in turn paving the way for a 21-year military dictatorship.

Full textFor eight years [from 2000 through 2008], we were told repeatedly that what the Bush administration did and claimed [from the fight against the “axis of evil” to the campaign against international terrorism, and from the pre-emptive or preventive war to the “democratization” of the Middle East by any means, etc.], has its roots in the Neoconservative moral ideology seeking to “make the world better”, and “moralize” national and international politics, including a renewal of [conservative] American values and more an active commitment towards international issues. But in the light of the findings that we have been led to from our investigation, it becomes clear that contrary to what is widespread, it is neither moral ideology of the Neoconservatives nor the religious and messianic bloc allied to President Bush that guided his actions in the Middle East and elsewhere, but the economy. Indeed, the keys to the Bush policy in the ! Middle East are ideological only in appearance. In fact, they are to be discovered in the economic and financial interests that the administration has sought to defend, protect and acquire. These keys are to be found in money contributions that finance political campaigns. They are also those of big business, the American industrial and financial corporations, multinationals, lobbies and other pressure groups that dominate political life in the United States and the influence they exert on the Middle East policy

Full textIn the 70s, European countries have started seeing a significant politicization of environmental issues. This trend was expressed by political parties through a platform of environmental public policies during political campaigns, as well as the setting of environmental budgets by the presidents during their terms of office. By means of five essays falling into the scope of the Public Choice School of Thought, this thesis aims at determining whether politicians’ behavior have been motivated by self-interest or rather by global well-being satisfaction.The first chapter examines how environmental issues have integrated the spectrum of French political parties of all ideologies whereas the second chapter analyses the determinants of an environmental offer and this within the European political parties since 1970. Chapter 3 and 4 focus on environmental public spending done dy European countries since 1995, and analyze the application of the environmental political pledges and the impact of the electoral rules inplace on environmental public spending at both, the central budget scale and the total budget scale of states. Chapter 5 compares political entrepreneurship to associative entrepreneurship and market entrepreneurship to determine the most efficient way of solving environmental issues

Full textThis dissertation analyzes the political economy of the internationalization process of Brazilian private companies occurred during Lula administration (2003-2010). Since 2005, there was an expansion of Brazilian foreign direct investment abroad, as a result of a federal government policy intended to form large corporations able to compete internationally. Major mergers, acquisitions and investment projects abroad were financed by public funds under the industrial policy operated by National Bank of Economic and Social Development (BNDES), the main state bank to support the private sector in the country. An important feature of this movement was the focus on sectors in which Brazil is already competitive, as the labor and natural resources intensives sectors, in conflict with guidelines established by the same industrial policy of the Lula government, which advocated the support of more technology-intensive industries. Using the institutional approach of \"varieties of capitalism\", it is argued that this occurred because the internationalization policy was guided by short-term demands of private economic groups, reflecting wider institutional characteristics of the Brazilian economy.

This paper aims to analyze the results of the MEI public policy on low-income entrepreneurs. It is an exploratory and descriptive study of qualitative nature. A single case study strategy was adopted: the city of Silvânia. It was called upon interviews with semi structured scripts in two groups: entrepreneurs and local policy actors, and, in addition, documents as data resource. A content analysis was conducted through the software NVivo. The results show that, altogether, entrepreneurs had an informal business before formalizing, and had benefits resulted from the accession to the MEI policy, such as new market access, better relations with suppliers, income improvement, citizenship and social security. It is possible to conclude that the objectives of the policy that made MEI possible, such as the entrepreneurs’ formalization, social inclusion and social protection are being achieved. The MEI is providing positive impact on entrepreneurs, businesses and the region.
Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar os resultados da política do MEI para os empreendedores de baixa renda. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva de natureza qualitativa. Adotou-se a estratégia de estudo de caso único, o município de Silvânia. Recorreu-se a entrevistas com roteiros semiestruturados em dois grupos: empreendedores e atores locais da política, e a documentação como fonte de dados. Para a análise dos dados, foi realizada análise de conteúdo e adotado o software NVivo para suporte à condução da análise. Os resultados da pesquisa evidenciam que no geral, os empreendedores tinham um negócio informal antes da formalização e tiveram como benefícios pela adesão ao MEI, acesso a novos mercados, melhora da relação com fornecedores, melhora na renda, cidadania, e os benefícios da previdência social. É possível concluir que os objetivos da política que criou o MEI, qual sejam, a formalização dos empreendedores, a inclusão social e a proteção previdenciária estão sendo alcançados. O MEI está proporcionando impactos positivos nos empreendedores, no negócio e na região.

Full textThis thesis studies municipal policy processes where several policy sectors are involved: the transition to alternative fuels in public transport. Examining how and why those policies have developed in two municipalities, the study will contribute to explain how policy are shaped on a municipal level and also contribute to further knowledge of policy processes where different sectors are involved. Through case studies, the policy processes concerning the introduction of biogas in city buses in the municipalities of Linköping and Helsingborg have been studied. The study is process oriented and mainly focuses on how and why actors with their resources, interests, problem definitions and solutions, can influence policy. The results show that the processes consisted of traditional policy sectors where actors, interests and resources differed between the sectors. In addition, the thesis shows that a connection between the energy, environment and transport policy sectors has been essential for policy development. Boundary walkers – that is, policy entrepreneurs that crossed the boundaries between the three sectors – have been central to initiate broad collaborations where actors representing energy, environment and public transport identified and strived to a common goal.
Kennedy-Salchow, Shana. "Corporate Philanthropy Practices in K-12 Education in the U.S. and Germany." Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/19292.
Full textCorporate philanthropy is active in K-12 education in Germany and the U.S. but there is minimal research about it. Over the last decade corporate philanthropic actors in both countries have become active in STEM* education (in Germany, MINT). This comparative study is about why and how they decided to invest in these initiatives and how that is tied to their traditional roles in education. It leans on the history of company involvement in education since 1945 and on interviews with experts active in the STEM and MINT education scenes. The main findings are: (1) As a result of the PISA shock and other factors, German companies that traditionally engaged only in vocational education have become active in general K-12 education. (2) Corporate philanthropy led the STEM and MINT education movements. However, U.S. companies and their foundations, with decades of philanthropic experiences and networks in education, were more successful in raising awareness, organizing resources, and achieving policy changes at the federal level. (3) Companies and their foundations were driven to invest in STEM and MINT education largely by workforce, long-term innovation, and economic concerns but there were key differences because of the differing demographic and education trends in the two countries. (4) In the U.S. and Germany, corporate philanthropy is attempting to be more strategic. This has resulted in a focus on outcome-based measurements and scalability but has also led to more investments in nonprofit and policy organizations instead of schools or their booster clubs. It has also resulted in corporate philanthropy better aligning with company competencies and needs, which made STEM and MINT ideal. In the case of the U.S., this has also resulted in some companies creating vocational programs, an area of education most companies avoided in the past. *STEM= Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math MINT= Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften und Technik

Full text¿Qué motiva al Estado a modificar su legado institucional ambiental? ¿Cuáles son las condiciones para fortalecer o debilitar la fiscalización sobre el medio ambiente? Este artículo describe el crecimiento y el desarrollo de la institucionalidad ambiental a partir de la fiscalización teniendo como experiencia el desenvolvimiento del Organismo de Evaluación y Fiscalización Ambiental (OEFA) desde su creación hasta la actualidad. Esta investigación busca identificar los factores y las condiciones para el fortalecimiento y debilitamiento de la fiscalización ambiental. La suma de los elementos como fortaleza y burocracia estatal, emprendedores de políticas, cambio institucional, grupos de interés y exigencias internacionales podrían explicar en qué momento se plantea el fortalecimiento o el debilitamiento de la fiscalización ambiental, el incremento o la disminución en los patrones de fiscalización y los niveles de afectación institucional.

This study aims to understand and clarify the role of the former Minister of Federal Administration and State Reform (1995 1998), Luiz Carlos Bresser Pereira, in the strategic position of the main formulator of the public management reform in Brazil. In this sense, we will provide a Reform explanation observing how the political and intellectual construction of this public policy directly derived from the persuasive action Bresser Pereira in exercising the "power of ideas". Here, we consider as essential the structural limits of the Ministry of Federal Administration and State Reform as the fundamental political and institutional locus for the formulation of policy reform. Thus, through the analysis of the profile and policy measures undertaken by the former minister Bresser, according to the theoretical framework adopted, with particular emphasis on the theoretical model of John Kingdon, we verify the existence of a typical policy entrepreneur in action. Therefore, we demonstrate that Bresser Pereira exercised the intellectual and political leadership at the time of construction and dissemination of the main principles of the o called "New Public Management" in Brazil, supporting the reform policy of the first Fernando Henrique Cardoso s administration. Our focus on the performance and characteristic profile of the chosen entrepreneur reveals that the individual action of the actors is an important dimension in public policy production process. Thus, we intend to contribute to enrich the academic production in the field of political science and its intersection with the area of public policy, filling analytical gaps about the performance of policy entrepreneurs, providing a new theoretical and empirical analysis research about the State Reform in Brazil.
Neste trabalho buscamos compreender e lançar luzes sobre o papel do ex-ministro da Administração Federal e da Reforma do Estado (1995 1998), Luiz Carlos Bresser Pereira, na condição de principal formulador e empreendedor da Reforma da Administração Pública de 1995 no Brasil. Para tanto, forneceremos uma explicação da Reforma observando como se deu a construção política e intelectual desta política pública a partir da ação persuasiva de Bresser Pereira ao exercer o poder das ideias , considerando os limites estruturais do MARE enquanto o lócus político-institucional fundamental para a formulação da política de Reforma da Gestão Pública de 1995. Através da análise do perfil e das iniciativas políticas levadas a cabo pelo ex-ministro Bresser, segundo os marcos teóricos adotados, com especial destaque para o modelo teórico de John Kingdon, verificamos a existência de um típico empreendedor de políticas públicas em ação. Assim, demonstraremos que o então ministro exerceu a liderança intelectual e política no momento de construção e disseminação dos principais fundamentos da chamada Nova Gestão Pública no Brasil, sustentando a política de Reforma da Administração Pública do primeiro governo de Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Nosso foco, na atuação e no perfil peculiar do empreendedor escolhido, revela que a ação individual dos atores é uma dimensão importante no processo de produção de políticas públicas. Assim, pretendemos contribuir para enriquecer os trabalhos acadêmicos do campo da Ciência Política e sua intersecção com a área de políticas públicas, preenchendo lacunas analíticas sobre a atuação dos empreendedores de políticas públicas , fornecendo uma análise teórico-empírica ainda não realizada no âmbito das pesquisas sobre a Reforma do Estado no Brasil.

Full textThis paper results from a survey of evaluative slant of the effectiveness of policy in confronting the individual micro "informal structure" from the period 2008 to 2012. We use the Marxist theoretical framework which consequently led to a critical approach more qualitative than quantitative. Had it aims to evaluate the impact of policy on Microenterprise in Individual coping informality in Brazil considering the progress made in terms of improvements in working conditions and profitability of individual microentrepreneurs policy beneficiaries to judge the appropriateness of the policy for Addressing the "structural informality." Had as objectives: rescue in a theoretical and historical perspective the main determinants of informality of labor relations;characterize and measure the phenomenon of informality in Brazil; investigate the phenomenon of micro-enterprise from a critical approach in the current scenario of globalization flexible accumulation of capital and to characterize the policy of Micro Single, indicating the legal framework and its implications on coping with informality. It was concluded that the approach of the policy of Micro Single from the point of view of coping with structural informality of small farms is inadequate. In this sense, the effects that the policy aimed to cause about working conditions and income of the beneficiaries are not able to characterize a breakthrough in dealing with the expansion of the informal sector and are unable to promote the overcoming of "structural informality .
O presente trabalho resulta de uma pesquisa de cunho avaliativo a respeito da efetividade da política da microempresa individual no enfrentamento da informalidade estrutural a partir do período compreendido de 2008 até 2012. Utiliza-se o referencial teórico metodológico de orientação marxista o que levou consequentemente a uma abordagem crítica mais qualitativa que quantitativa. Teve-se por objetivo principal avaliar os impactos da Política da Microempresa Individual no enfrentamento à informalidade no Brasil considerando os avanços alcançados em termos de melhorias nas condições de trabalho e de rentabilidade dos microempreendedores individuais beneficiários da política, para julgar a adequação da política para o enfrentamento da informalidade estrutural . Teve-se como objetivos específicos: resgatar em uma perspectiva teórica e histórica as principais determinantes da informalidade das relações de trabalho; caracterizar e dimensionar o fenômeno da informalidade no Brasil; investigar o fenômeno da microempresa a partir de uma abordagem crítica no atual cenário de mundialização do capital e acumulação flexível para caracterizar a Política da Microempresa Individual, indicando o marco jurídico e suas implicações no enfrentamento à informalidade. Concluiu-se que a abordagem da Política da Microempresa Individual do ponto de vista do enfrentamento à informalidade estrutural de pequenas unidades de produção é inadequada. Neste sentido, os efeitos que a política visou provocar sobre as condições de trabalho e renda dos beneficiários não são capazes de caracterizar um avanço no enfrentamento à expansão do setor informal da economia e são incapazes de promover a superação da informalidade estrutural , uma vez que a política se constitui em uma faceta da Nova Informalidade .
