- EL “OUTSOURCING” COMO UN RECURSO ESTRATÉGICO DE LA COMPETITIVIDAD INTERNACIONAL DEL MERCADO ESPAÑOLPublication . Lopes da Costa, Renato; Martinho, Filipa; Miguel, Isabel; Barreiros, LuísLa globalización del mercado empresarial actual requiere de una visión global, lógica y de carácter funcional, vinculada a la creación de valor desde un punto de vista del coste, el tiempo y la prestación del servicio. La enfatización de nuevas formas organizacionales y nuevos procesos de trabajo en términos contractuales ha dejado de ser vista como un recurso pasando a ser entendida como una necesidad básica y fundamental. Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar un componente teórico relacionado con una estrategia de negocio muy particular, dada la importancia que pueda tener en el actual contexto empresarial de España. En esta medida, cabe preguntarse lo siguiente: ¿es el sector del "Outsourcing" la respuesta ideal y una herramienta influyente y poderosa de cambio organizacional?, ¿podrá este sector ser uno de los focos de proyección internacional de España y una verdadera fuente de ingresos en tiempos de crisis y cerca de la recesión? En realidad, este puede ser el camino para capitalizar las ventajas de España, mejorar sus desventajas, crear empleo, generar riqueza, promover la competitividad internacional y, aún más importante, ser la medicina alternativa para curar la enfermedad que supone ahora el déficit publico español y que el tratamiento “Outsourcing” podría eventualmente ayudar a regenerar.
- Privatization Process and Talent Management in AngolaPublication . Lopes da Costa, Renato; Sampaio, Marta Correia; Miguel, IsabelThe problem of the privatization process began in the 1940s, even though it only really began to gain a prominent place in the entrepreneurial path, about 50 years later. The processes of privatization of the world economies, which led to the triggering of a set of cooperative strategies based on the State-owned enterprises privatization, and, of course, all these events, had repercussions also in Angola. Based on an investigation of a pragmatic or inductive nature, based on a non-probabilistic sample, due to the lack of studies and information about the phenomenon of Angola’s privatization during the period from colonial independence to the present. This article aims to develop this subject by presenting, on the one hand, a set of causes that were the basis of the failure in the privatization processes taken place in Angola between 1989 and 2005 and which degenerated into the collapse of its corporate network. And, on the other hand, it presents an idea of the possible impact that these privatization processes failures had, and still have, on Talent Management by Angolan organizations. It also presents a set of suggestions which could be considered in future privatization processes that may occur by building a more consistent business structure in economic and business terms.
- The “Fashionable Knowledge” of Management ConsultingPublication . Lopes da Costa, Renato; Martinho, Filipa; Miguel, Isabel; Barreiros, LuísIn the evolution of strategic disciplines much of the knowledge produced has been widely diffused by the management consulting industry. But can this sector be regarded as knowledge intensive activity based on true structure of expertise knowledge? One way to understand if we can consider that sector as a source of knowledge dissemination is realizing its relationship with the market in terms of knowledge, rather than identify only as a set of static techniques to be applied as in most of times they have been doing. This article presents itself as a reflection about the real reasons for the increasing use ofmanagement consulting services, indicating simultaneously that can really be a true field of opportunities for the academic class if the study will focused in the establishment and institutionalization of micropractices (strategy-as-practice) that there are used and its implications in terms of organizational results.
- The Importance of Relationships for the Produced Knowledge in the Sector of Management ConsultingPublication . Lopes da Costa, Renato; Martinho, Filipa; Miguel, IsabelWhile the management consulting industry has been largely linked to the knowledge produced within the disciplines of strategic management in the academic field, the truth is that very little literature is produced in terms of research in this area, while the researchers focused more on a set of static techniques to be applied in the development of this field of research concerns. This article seeks to bridge this gap as well, showing by example that the consultancy sector is a true field of opportunities for the study of relationships management. This presentation is thus the aim of contributing both theoretically and empirically in the area of relationships through research in the context of management consulting, trying to visualize how the relationships are manifested in a context of high involvement and personal contact, and what’s the perception that must be taken into consideration by clients and consultants in terms of the benefits of their greater or lesser degree of involvement.
