Portuguese to English: ESTUDO DE CASO DE IMPLANTAÇÃO DE EQUIPES AUTOGERENCIÁVEIS EM EMPRESA DO RAMO AUTOMOTIVO
General field: Tech/Engineering
Detailed field: Manufacturing
Source text - Portuguese
Esta dissertação tem como objetivo fazer uma análise crítica de um modelo para
implantação de equipes autogerenciáveis utilizado por uma determinada empresa do ramo
automotivo. Nela são apresentados diversos conceitos teóricos necessários para esta análise
crítica. O estudo de caso é descrito de forma a mostrar como a implantação foi feita nesta
empresa, comparando-o com a teoria apresentada. Foi analisado um modelo para implantação
de equipes autogerenciáveis e melhoria de desempenho, já utilizado e avaliado como eficaz
em outras unidades da empresa. Foram analisadas nesta dissertação as dificuldades
encontradas durante a primeira fase da implantação, sendo identificados os pontos a melhorar
para o sucesso das fases seguintes. Através do estudo percebe-se que autonomia restrita e
aumento da responsabilidade, as principais características do modelo analisado, permitem
obter bons resultados em curto espaço de tempo, principalmente no que diz respeito ao fluxo
de informações e a motivação dos trabalhadores, mas que a empresa necessita repensar sua
forma de organização fabril para que possa obter os reais benefícios das equipes, já que a
fixação das metas de equipe é tão importante quanto a fixação das metas individuais. O
programa implantado pela empresa não trouxe melhoria dos resultados durante o período de
estudo, mas houve progresso no trabalho em equipe, sem que, no entanto, houvesse redução
dos níveis hierárquicos.
Palavras-chave: Equipes autogerenciáveis, Equipes semi-autônomas, Trabalho em equipe,
Liderança.

branch

self managing teams, used by a company of the automotive branch. Diverse theoretical
concepts, necessary for this critical analysis, are presented. The case study shows the way of
the implantation was made in this company, comparing it with the presented theory. It was

during the first phase of the implantation were analyzed in this dissertation, and the points to
improve for the success of the following phases were identified. Through this study it's
perceived that restricted autonomy and empowerment, the main characteristics of the
analyzed model, allow to get good results in short space of time, mainly in the information
flow and the workers motivation, but the company needs to rethink about its manufactory
organization to find the real benefits of work in teams, because the setting of the team goals is
as important as the setting of the individual goals. The program implanted by the company
didn’t improve results during the study period but the company progressed in teamwork,
without suppression of hierarchic levels.

Portuguese to French: CONCEITO DE CULTURA À LUZ DA CONCEPÇÃO MATERIALISTA DA HISTÓRIA: UM DEBATE SOBRE OS ESTUDOS CULTURAIS
General field: Social Sciences

Source text - Portuguese
Resumo
O artigo refuta análises que separam a dimensão cultural da dimensão social e estas dos fenômenos econômicos. Resgata o debate em torno do conceito de cultura e de alguns de seus aspectos, analisando criticamente as implicações do pensamento pós-moderno nos temas culturais. Recorre ao método do materialismo histórico dialético para examinar o conceito de cultura com os clássicos Antonio Gramsci, Edward Thompson, e Raymond Williams, evidenciando que o estudo cultural não se faz sem a relação entre ideias, dominação e transformação econômica e sociocultural. Neste sentido, procura mostrar que a cultura é produzida no e pelo trabalho, não sendo, pois, esfera autônoma e independente do mundo dos homens.

Palavras chave: Cultura; Materialismo cultural.; Estudos culturais

Résumé

L'article réfute les analyses qui séparent la dimension culturelle et la dimension sociale de ces phénomènes économiques. Sauve le débat autour de la notion de culture et de certains de ses aspects, en faisant une analyse critique des conséquences de la pensée postmoderne dans des thèmes culturels. Resorts à la méthode du matérialisme historique dialectique pour examiner le concept de la culture des classiques Antonio Gramsci, Edward Thompson et Raymond Williams, en mettant en évidence que cette étude culturelle n'est pas sans relation entre les idées, la domination et de la transformation économique et socioculturel. En ce sens, les tentatives de montrer que la culture est produite dans et par le travail et n'est donc pas sphère autonome et indépendant du monde des hommes.
