Based on this vision, the Industry System large problems. In a world in the midst of rapid transformation, staying one created a national network of 25 Innovation Institutes within the structure step ahead of competitors is crucial for companies to remain competitive of the National Service for Industrial Training (SENAI), an institution recognized and connected to their customers.

The network of 25 institutes was created through the initiative of the Business Mobilization for Innovation (MEI), a movement coordinated The SENAI Innovation Institutes are important partners of companies by the National Confederation of Industry, comprised of over 150 leaders from in their goal to add value to products and business through highly complex major Brazilian companies. The goal is to increase the competitiveness applied research, technology transfer and sharing of risks inherent in the of the industrial sector, by linking the challenges encountered by large, medium precompetitive stage of the innovation process. and small companies to the creativity of young enterprising companies and the knowledge generated in universities. Through this initiative, the National Confederation of Industry (CNI) endeavors to accelerate the flow of scientific and technological knowledge The research centers are part of the structure of the National Service in the country for the purpose of obtaining effective results and to better equip for Industrial Training (SENAI), the largest private complex for vocational the industrial sector to address the challenges and opportunities of the future. education and technological services in Latin America. Created in 1942, the institution has already trained more than 68 million workers in 28 areas of Brazilian industry, ranging from basic job skill training to technological degrees Robson Braga de Andrade at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. With 580 stationary and 449 mobile President of the National Confederation of Industry (CNI) units, it operates in 2,700 Brazilian cities and nine training schools abroad. 6 7 ENCOURAGING INNOVATION ENVIRONMENTS Through the SENAI Innovation Institutes, industry has taken a critical step toward a revolution in the technological development of the country. The purpose of the institutes is to boost the effectiveness of innovation policies and raise the volume of resources invested in the sector. Despite APPLIED RESEARCH being one of the world’s largest economies, Brazil is increasingly less innovative. In 2015, it dropped from 61st to 70th place in the Global Innovation Index, comprised of 141 countries1. Between 2010 and 2014, research and development expenditure in Brazil represented only 1.38% of Gross Domestic Product Brazilian industry moves at an accelerated pace. Due to obstacles in Brazil’s innovation (GDP), whereas South Korea, at the top of the most innovative nations, invested 4.29%. In the same environment, it is not always wise to come to the market at the pace set by the production sector. The period, the United States invested 2.73% of its wealth in innovation2. network of SENAI Innovation Institutes was created to serve as a bridge between the academic world and the needs of the domestic business community. Its operational focus is applied research, i.e., the Another important indicator of knowledge generated in the country is the volume of patents, practical use of knowledge to develop new products and customized solutions for companies, or ideas which lags far behind the number in developed nations. In 2014, 2,749 patents were approved in Brazil, that generate business opportunities. which is much lower than the number produced in the United States, of around 300,0003. The average concession period is also high, at 11.4 years. In the United States, it is 2.2 years and in Japan, 2.5 years. The institutes start working at the pre-competitive stage of the innovation process – when concepts are born and experiments are conducted and therefore, a time of great uncertainty and risk In recent years, Brazil has made progress in turning out master’s and PhD graduates, an essential for companies – and continue until the final stage of development, when the new product is ready to condition for engaging in technological research and development. However, the total number of these be manufactured by the industry. highly qualified professionals is still low compared with other countries. There are 7.6 PhD holders per 100,000 Brazilian inhabitants, whereas in the United Kingdom this rate is 41 and in the United States, SENAI looked to the universities for talents from technological fields to join its innovation over 204. According to the Innovation Survey 2011 (Pintec/IBGE), 16.4% of researchers in the private network. Of the 558 employees, there are 97 PhD and 126 master’s degree holders. sector have postgraduate degrees. Around 95% of Brazilian PhD holders are in universities and only 1.5% in companies5.

    Systems & Management 11 (2016), pp 410-422 USAGE OF AHP METHODOLOGY IN SELECTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING SITES IN THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO Amanda Sexto Alexandre Pereira1, Nilson Brandalise1, Luiz Carlos Brasil de Brito Mello1 1 Fluminense Federal University (UFF) ABSTRACT The aim of this article is the selection of commercial building sites in the city of Rio de Janeiro by using techni- ques of multiple criteria decision-making processes. The technique chosen was based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology, due to its features, flexibility, and large applicability in engineering problems involving multiple crite- ria decision-making processes. Its application was done on an opinion survey among construction specialists, in which six criteria were selected to evaluate ten alternatives for commercial building sites. To operate the analytics of the method, researchers used the software Super Decisions, presenting the factors according to their priority in selecting the sites. And in the end, the results were demonstrated according to the hierarchical selection order.

    DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 1504 Abstract Most safety net programs in low and middle-income countries are conceived for rural areas. Yet Entering the City as the global urban population rapidly increases and poverty urbanizes, it becomes of utmost Public Disclosure Authorized Emerging Evidence and Practices with importance to understand how to make safety nets work in urban settings. This paper discusses Safety Nets in Urban Areas the process of urbanization, the peculiar features of urban poverty, and emerging experiences with urban safety net programs in dozens of countries. It does so by reviewing multidisciplinary literature, examining household survey data, and presenting a compilation of case studies from Ugo Gentilini a ‘first generation’ of programs. It finds that urban areas pose fundamentally different sets of opportunities and challenges for social protection, and that safety net programs are at the very beginning of a process of urban adaptation. The mixed-performance and preliminary nature of the experiences suggest to put a premium on experimentation, learning and evidence- generation, particularly in key design choices as well as in better connecting safety nets to spatial, economic and social services agendas in urban areas.

    Revista Brasileira de Gestão e Desenvolvimento Regional G&DR. V. 17, N. 1, P. 349-362, jan-abr/2021. Taubaté, SP, Brasil. ISSN: 1809-239X Received: 06/25/2018 Accepted: 06/02/2020 ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND SOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: STUDY WITH CITIES OF THE STATE OF SÃO PAULO EMPREENDEDORISMO E DESENVOLVIMENTO SOCIOECONÔMICO: ESTUDO COM MUNICÍPIOS DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO Rafael Toniolo da Rocha1 Leandro Rodrigues2 Simone Vasconcelos Ribeiro Galina3 Elizabeth Krauter4 Abstract Socioeconomic development depends on many variables and entrepreneurship is a relevant way of contributing to its progress. However, there is no international consensus on the positive impact of increased entrepreneurship on local socioeconomic development, and there are few studies in developing countries, such as Brazil. Thus, this research aimed to verify the correlation between entrepreneurship and socioeconomic development of the main cities in the state of São Paulo (18 municipalities) by comparing the rate of entrepreneurship (number of new businesses per 1000 inhabitants) with the Firjan Municipal Development Index (IFDM) from 2005 to 2013. Secondary data were used and the correlation was the data analysis technique. The results show that there is a significant correlation between the variables, demonstrating that although correlations were found with health, and employment and income indicators, education is the variable most strongly related to the advance of entrepreneurship. New studies should be carried out to explore how entrepreneurship influences the quality of life and socioeconomic development of municipalities. Keywords: Entrepreneurship. Socioeconomic development. Firjan Municipal Development Index. State of São Paulo. Resumo 1 Master in Business Administration from the University of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto - SP, Brazil.

Important raw materials and products, such as wood panels, laminate flooring, pulp, paper and biomass derive exclusively from Brazilian forest plantations and in turn drive the domestic economy, thereby creating the framework for the sector’s growth. This first edition of the report marks another step in the creation of Ibá. Since April 2014, this association, along with its stakeholders in Brazil and abroad, has been institutionally representing a total of 70 companies and state associations which formerly were members of the Association of the Wood Panels Industry (Abipa), the Brazilian Association of the Manufacturers of Laminate Flooring (Abiplar), the Brazilian Association of Forest Plantation Producers (Abraf) and the Brazilian Pulp and Paper Association (Bracelpa). In addition to promoting products that come from planted trees, Ibá also works to advocate for independent producers of these plantations and institutional investors in the sector.
