What makes organizations so similar? We contend that the engine of rationalization and bureaucratization has moved from the competitive marketplace to the state and the professions. Once a set of organizations emerges as a field, a paradox arises: rational actors make their organizations increasingly similar as they try to change them. We describe three isomorphic processes-coercive, mimetic, and normative—leading to this outcome. We then specify hypotheses about the impact of resource centralization and dependency, goal ambiguity and technical uncertainty, and professionalization and structuration on isomorphic change. Finally, we suggest implications for theories of organizations and social change.

The following bibliography is conceived as a selection of international literature on food as heritage and as a marker of identity within the huge amount of works recently produced on the topic of food. The bibliography has been produced within the “Food as heritage” project, performed at University of Bologna and coordinated by Ilaria Porciani, with a team composed by Massimo Montanari, Paolo Capuzzo, Raffaele Laudani and Marica Tolomelli. “Food as heritage” is part of a wider projec...

Bibliography “Food as Heritage”

A pesquisa analisou como o controle interno da Prefeitura Municipal de Fortaleza realiza o monitoramento das notificações enviadas pelos órgãos de controle externo aos diversos Órgãos da Administração Pública Municipal. Para tanto se utilizou uma pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva. Utiliza-se do método de estudo de caso, e faz-se uso de dados secundários e primários. Concluiu-se que o mecanismo analisado consiste em importante ferramenta de controle interno, que busca evitar o congestionamento das notificações provenientes dos órgãos do controle externo, servindo de auxílio na adequação das respostas a serem encaminhadas.

Objectives: between 1996 and 1998 three public policies in the area of maternal and child health were implemented: Program to Reduce Infant Mortality (PRIM), Community Solidarity Program (CSP) and Incentive to Combat Nutritional Deficiencies (ICND). The objective of this study was to compare the methodology used to select priorities and to choose municipalities for these three public policies. Methods: the indexes and statistical indicators, as well as the databases from which they originated, the independent and dependent variables and statistical models employed were analyzed, based on the description available in official publications. The state of Bahia was chosen as an example, and the construction of the cartographic database was performed directly on the screen, with the software Epi-Map. Results: one could observe that different parameters and distinct databases were used to construct each one of the indexes analyzed. As a final result, there was an agreement in only 28 of the 111 municipalities chosen by PRIM, the 96 selected by CSP and the 100 considered priorities by the ICND. Conclusions: in the case of these three social programs, implemented almost simultaneously in the state of Bahia, involved considerable investments of funds, focusing and targeting, which are key elements for the optimization of public spending in social policies, occurred in only less than 28% of the cases.

Every year the football industry moves, worldwide, a value between $ 400 billion and $ 1 trillion. This denotes the high economic potential of the football market. This is a complex market because teams need to use cooperation strategies with their rivals, to optimize the production of football. The objective of this study is to analyze the factors affecting the performance of clubs in the Brazilian championship, both in sports, as in the financial domain. It is a quantitative study of descriptive and explanatory nature with secondary database. One pooled logit was used to estimate the probability of sports and financial success. The results showed that the participation of clubs in international competitions increases the odds of sporting and financial success; the permanence of players between seasons also increases the chances of success.

Apesar da recorrente afirmacao da relevância do tratamento social em saude e nutricao, ainda e insatisfatoriaa introducao dos componentes que poderiam construir esse processo. Desde sempre, o trabalho praticomanifestou-se sedutor e revelador da realidade social e economica para os estudantes, enquanto a compreensaoteorica dos processos e relacoes sociais resulta problematica e recebe a justificativa de que, para os alunos daarea de saude, a linguagem das Ciencias Sociais seria estranha e dificil.
