Full textCom base na teoria do Design, o objectivo desta investigação consistiu em projectar um modelo para as PME portuguesas de serviços. Foi desenvolvido para ser utilizado facilmente, permitindo que o utilizador tenha uma visão geral e holística de diferentes áreas de conhecimento relacionadas com negócios e saiba a importância das suas inter-relações. A capacitação dos utilizadores pode prevenir e evitar a morte prematura das empresas. Esta investigação resultou do ambiente resultante da crise social e económica nacional, nomeadamente através do número de empresas que faliram e das altas taxas de desemprego. Apostar no Crescimento Sustentável e na Longevidade, e nos benefícios comprovados integração do Design nas empresas é um aliado para a superação das dificuldades existentes. A revisão da literatura focou no Design e o contexto actual português, nomeadamente nas dificuldades existentes e nas necessidades futuras. No estado da arte relacionado com o Design, deu-se maior importância às áreas relevantes para a investigação como o Design Thinking, Design de Serviços e Benefícios do Design através de Design Estratégico. Outras questões também foram estudadas, nomeadamente as relativas aos processos, influência, uso e integração em empresas, outros benefícios e modelos relacionados. Foi seleccionado um grupo de empresas, com características específicas associadas ao Crescimento Sustentável e Longevidade. As PME de serviços já existentes, foram estudadas através de questionário e as empresas mais jovens que se destacaram, foram estudadas através da análise de dados públicos existentes. Estes estudos permitiram obter alguns resultados. Foi possível definir que o modelo deveria ser teórico, simples e amplo e incluir algumas características nomeadamente conhecimentos da área empresarial e do Design. O modelo deveria ser facilmente compreendido por um público vasto e usado por decisores distintos e por empresas diversas e deveria permitir relacionar a empresa com o modelo. No que diz respeito às empresas, o modelo foca nas questões intrínsecas (empreendedor e equipa), assuntos internos (empresa / negócio), questões extrínsecas ou para processos e estágios de evolução da empresa (ciclo de vida e desenvolvimento). Em termos de Design, o modelo centra-se no Design Thinking, Design de Serviços e Benefícios do Design nomeadamente através do Design Estratégico. O modelo multidimensional foi projectado com especial atenção no seu uso. Pretende-se que os utilizadores compreendam o modelo, identifiquem e visualizem a posição da empresa no modelo e, finalmente, relacionem a empresa com as várias valências do modelo. Também, foi pretendido que os utilizadores aumentem os conhecimentos em Design e a consciência dos benefícios da sua integração na empresa, com foco no Crescimento Sustentado e Longevidade. Os vectores tempo e fase de desenvolvimento da empresa também foram destacados, permitindo ao utilizador relacionar o modelo com a situação da empresa, apresentando futuros cenários e melhorias potenciais. As entrevistas aos especialistas foram conduzidas com base na primeira versão do modelo, para a sua validação e inclusão das críticas construtivas numa versão seguinte. As informações relevantes obtidas, relativas a esta etapa da investigação e de todo o processo, foram inseridas na versão 1.2 do Modelo Atena, que tendo sido melhorado é apresentado neste documento. O modelo pode ser usado como referência e pode ser aplicado a um amplo universo de empresas e negócios que tenham como objectivo a sua melhoria. A investigação baseou-se nas etapas metodológicas apresentadas, respondendo à hipótese e às questões da investigação. O modelo aumenta o conhecimento da importância e dos benefícios da integração do Design nas empresas, demonstrando que é possível projectar empresas e negócios mais rentáveis incentivando o Crescimento Sustentável e a Longevidade e, consequentemente, promover o desenvolvimento social e económico do país.
ABSTRACT: Based on Design knowledge, the aim of this research was to develop a model with special focus on service SMEs. Its simplicity and ease of use were purpose-built to allow the user a holistic view of different areas, namely business knowledge, and to be aware of their importance and relationships. The users’ empowerment has the potential to prevent and avoid companies’ premature death. The original concerns of this research emerged from the national environment of social and economic crisis (company bankruptcies, high unemployment rates, etc.), the extensive need to pursue Sustainable Growth and Longevity, and the proven benefits of the use and integration of design in companies. The literature review was performed on Design and in the global context, with a special focus on contemporary Portuguese difficulties and future needs. In the State of the Art, the focus was on Design relevant issues for the research, such as: Design Thinking, Service Design, Benefits raised by Design, namely through Strategic Design. Other issues regarding Design were also studied: processes, influence, use and integration in companies, other benefits, and related models. A group of companies with specific characteristics associated with Sustainable Growth and Longevity were selected and deeply analysed: existing Portuguese service SMEs studied through questionnaires, and prominent young companies studied through analysis of public data. The main focus was on a selected set of companies with specific characteristics leading theoretically to Sustainable Growth and Longevity. Several findings could be drawn from these two studies. Following this work, it was possible to specify that the model should include business and Design knowledge, and should be theoretical, simple and broad. Some particulars were also defined: the model should be easily understood by a wide public, used by a wide range of decision-makers and companies, and allow the companies to be easily and quickly identified and placed within the model. The Model should focus on: intrinsic matters (entrepreneur/team), internal subjects (company/business), external issues, and the evolution process and stages (lifecycle and development) of the company. With regards to Design, the Model should focus on: Design Thinking, Design Process, Service Design, as well as the beneficial relation Design - companies, namely through Strategic Design. The multi-dimensional model was designed with special focus on its use. It was intended that the users could understand the model, identify and visualize the company’s position in the model, and lastly to characterize the company using several facets of the model. It was also intended that users could raise their knowledge and awareness of design and of the benefits of design integration in the company, focusing on company Sustainable Growth and Longevity. The model also focused on the time and development stage vectors, allowing the user to relate the model to the company’s current situation and presenting future scenarios and potential improvements. Expert interviews were conducted in order to validate the Model and to feed into its first draft version. The relevant inputs concerning this research and process stage were incorporated into the Athena Model, the version presented in this document. The model can be used as a reference and can be applied to a wide spectrum of companies and businesses with improvement objectives. The research was based on the methodological steps presented, responding to the research hypothesis and questions. The Model raises knowledge and awareness of the importance and benefits of design integration in companies, linked to Business knowledge, demonstrating that it is possible to design better companies and businesses, encourage Sustainable Growth and Longevity, and thereby foster social and economic development.

Full textEsta dissertação de mestrado tem como objetivo compartilhar os resultados de uma investigação sobre as implicações estratégicas das alianças e redes de relacionamento estabelecidas no setor de downstream, área de distribuição de combustíveis, no Brasil, um dos que apresenta maior faturamento e que mais arrecada impostos no país. Primeiro, apresentamos fundamentos teóricos pertinentes à pesquisa sobre alianças e redes estratégicas, inclusive tipologias de alianças, além das teorias sobre a capacidade destas em alavancar as oportunidades e neutralizar as ameaças no nível da indústria. Além disso, foram considerados modelos conceituais e outras ferramentas para conduzir análises estratégicas pela ótica relacional, ou seja, no que se refere às alianças e redes formadas por estas. Em seguida, de acordo com a metodologia de estudo de caso de Yin, adotamos a estratégia de triangulação dos métodos. Assim, dados foram coletados por meio de investigação documental, levantamento de percepções do tipo survey e, em alguns casos, observação participativa. Com os resultados obtidos no âmbito do estudo de casos múltiplos, evidenciamos que a análise na ótica relacional, que leva em conta as implicações estratégicas das redes nas quais as empresas atuam, agrega valor às análises tradicionais, contribuindo com novos insights para a tomada de decisão estratégica dessas empresas.
This master`s dissertation has the objective of sharing the results of an investigation about the strategic implications of alliances and relationship networks established in the downstream sector, fuel distribution area, in Brazil, which earns the highest revenues and pays the highest taxes. First, we present theoretical issues pertinent to the research on alliances and strategic networks, including alliances typologies, in addition to theories on the capacities of these alliances to leverage opportunities and neutralize industry level threats. Besides that, it was considered conceptual models and other tools to conduct strategic analysis through the relational view, that is, related to the alliances and networks constituted by these. Following that, in accordance with Yin`s case study methodology, a strategic triangulation of methods was adopted. Therefore, data was collected through documental investigation, surveys of management perception and, in some cases, participative observation. With the results attained in the ambit of multiple case-studies, it was evidenced that the relational view, that is the one which takes into account strategic implications from the networks, adds value to traditional analysis, contributing with new insights on the strategic decision making of these companies.

Make-buy decisions, and their associated strategic sourcing activities, define the very identity of £inns, shape their competitive advantage, and determine their long-term survival and success. Conceptually, make-buy decisions reflect a firm's overarching strategic directions and are grounded in its clearly-articulated core competencies. This thesis critically examines two analytical frameworks in the literature that have been advanced to explain or guide make-buy decisions by firms. The case study focuses on a commercial helicopter development program that has prompted the case study firm to undertake a fundamental rethinking of its long-standing make-buy policies, sourcing strategies, and supplier integration practices. The objective of the study is not only to assess the applicability and generalizability of these analytical frameworks but also to gain new insights into the dynamics of make-buy decisions. The thesis also examines the firm's new sourcing strategy, linked to its makebuy decisions, resulting in long-term collaborative and partnering relationships with its significant subsystem suppliers, both domestically and internationally. The ex post case study analysis, concentrating on the nose section of the development helicopter, generally confirmed at a fairly high level the usefulness of applying these analytical frameworks to key make-buy decisions before such decisions are made. However, at a more detailed level of analysis, focusing on specific subsystem components and the pacing technologies underlying them, the analysis also raised sufficiently important issues on whether their outsourcing ("buy" decision) may have been consistent with maintaining the firm's core competencies and longer-term competitive advantage. The analysis also pointed out that higher-level strategic considerations may override make-buy and supply chain design strategies that may be suggested by a technical decomposition of the product system architecture.

Full textThis research is aimed to redesign the supply chain of pharmaceuticals on the strategic level as a result of taking into consideration the issues related to citizen’s right to healthcare. It has been drawn from the need to redesign the supply chain of pharmaceuticals in Morocco. Thus, the main actions recommended in order to achieve the objectives of this research were summarized in the following main axes. We started with the study and analysis of the supply chain existing on the physical infrastructure and the development of strategic decisions in relation to the structure of the distribution network. The contribution of this work lays in proposing an application of multi-criteria decision analysis to evaluate a set of alternative distribution networks for pharmaceuticals and select the most appropriate one. Final results show that decentralized distribution network is the most appropriate network according to the Ministry of Health stakeholder’s preferences. The second axis deals with the determination of optimal warehouse locations for the decentralized network. We presented a facility location model which is a variant of the set covering problem that takes into consideration specific characteristics of an emerging market. The results show how the road infrastructure type and demand dispersion affect the number of warehouses and their locations. The third axis tackles the investigation of the feasibility of outsourcing logistics. One of the outputs of this part of the dissertation is a decision aid process for strategic insourcing/outsourcing within an organization. It aims at guiding stakeholders from different domains in the process of decision making with regards to their logistics functions. As part of this decision framework, risk assessment contributes to a large extent in the evaluation of the feasibility of outsourcing. We were able to elaborate an approach for risk evaluation that will help us evaluate the criticality of risks. The model enables researchers and practitioners understand the importance of conducting appropriate risk assessment when implementing outsourcing initiatives
