Aliás, empregar a palavra “pessoas” no lugar de consultor, executivo e/ou empreendedor não é um mero acaso. “Pessoa” é palavra que não define sexo. A idéia é enfatizar o fato das mulheres estarem conquistando um espa- ço substancial na área de gestão, até então dominada pelos homens. Assim, ao longo do texto o leitor perceberá claramente essa preocupação de fazer com que o público feminino se sinta incluído no mundo dos negócios.

IDD was used as an indicator capable of measuring added value to the students based on the difference between their observed and expected performances. The research used database published by INEP – a government institution in charge of testing Brazilian students. Results showed that the IDD brings equality to the evaluation process of undergraduate courses and demonstrated that, avoid to common sense, public undergraduate business courses are not the better and private courses don’t add more value to the students.

The methodology adopted was suggested by Ver- gara (2009). It is a qualitative research and a semi structured interview was used with people assisted by an Speciality Institu- tion and people who work in this Institution and its President. The conclusion of this paper is that, in Brazil, we have a lot of laws about this subject but there are difficulties for their effec- tively implementation. The major reasons are: the companies do not know the laws, PWD are discriminated and the cost of accessibility for the companies is expensive. Some suggestion are offered like a diversity training for a change of attitude where these persons can be included in the companies programs.

Design/methodology: A descriptive case study was performed based on literature review and the data collection was done through documentary and field participative research with the PACT working group. The paper reports the stage and maturity of the High Commonality of Themes Project (PACT) on a private Brazilian university in Rio de Janeiro. Consequently, since the faculty shares more qualified knowledge and the syllabus could be realigned without losing epistemological identity, the subjects expect that the students learning process performs on market demanded pragmatic and practical skills. Findings: Findings indicate PACT as a kind of improvement, since it makes possible, balancing Refined Interpolation with Disciplined Extrapolation, to promote the ambidextrous learning through an enabling context, thus allowing specialized lecturers to improve competencies in their core area. Research limitations/implications: As a case study, findings could not be widespread and limitations are related to the initial stages of the PACT implementation. Originality/value: The value and originality of the ambidexterity approach refer to the possibilities it could overlap the bottlenecks that faculty performance generates to students learning effectiveness: non-adherence by the faculty to the discipline they teach (Human Capital); way lecturers interact among courses and one another (Social/Relationship Capital); and development and practicality of the educational guidelines of the course – PPC (Structural Capital).

For results were considered universities that offer graduation in Administration and that participated the three editions of the Enade: 2006, 2009 and 2012. The research is descriptive and bibliographic. The basis of data provided by Inep was of fundamental importance to answer the question raised by developing a work of quantitative resource. The results of the category without profit is better than the with profit, especially if they are philanthropic or confessional.

For that, it was tested the possibility of correlation between the performance of undergraduate students in the exam (Enade) and the note that represents the proportion of teachers with master and/or doctor’s degree in each institution. The results prove that, in Brazil, publics Universities are only one that has moderate correlation in both cases: master and doctor’s degree from teachers. In private institutions the correlation is weak in both cases only in faculties. Then, with the exception of public universities, in Brazil, does not justify the MEC's requirement for a minimum percentage of teachers and doctors as one of the aspects that prove the higher institution quality if do not included any other criteria in relation to teachers.

Cidadãos e organizações vêm construindo novos modelos de vida para garantir o futuro das próximas gerações, mas para que essas mudanças se manifestem concretamente, deverão com muito esforço sair da zona de conforto conquistada pelos avanços científicos e teológicos. A proposta desta mudança é a ampliação consciente de uma participação social mais ativa da sociedade, e a retomada de valores básicos para o desenvolvimento das pessoas, organizações e a sociedade. Objetivos: É objetivo geral deste trabalho compreender como o Hemorio alcançou a excelência na gestão pública Estadual. Sendo objetivos específicos desta proposta: Fazer um levantamento bibliográfico acerca do tema aprendizagem organizacional; Explicar no que consiste a excelência na gestão pública; Identificar quais as leis e benefícios vinculados a excelência na gestão pública que favoreceram ao Hemorio; Descrever quais os processos e ações são desenvolvidas pelo Hemorio que efetivamente contribuem para o alcance da excelência na gestão públicaEstadual. Método: Para a construção deste estudo, foram realizadas pesquisas bibliográficas por intermédio de método descritivo, e desenvolvido com base em matérias publicadas em livros, revistas, internet, e matérias de acesso público. Segundo Minayo (2004, p. 57), Schutz organiza alguns conceitos sobre a compreensão empírica da realidade, ele nos diz que o ser humano esta estabelecido biograficamente no mundo onde deve agir em toda sua existência, e mostra consideração especial na “experiência biográfica de conhecimento”, que consiste nas experiências consolidadas das situações vividas. O acumulo de conhecimento experimentado pelo homem em sua história social, funciona como ponto de referência, no qual, explica o seu mundo e modera suas ações. Conclusão. O modelo de Excelência para Gestão Pública vem nortear as práticas adotadas pelas organizações no alcance das melhorias dos produtos e serviços ofertados, visando o fortalecimento de uma alternativa democrática, capaz de estimular a inovação, o esforço transformador dos atores sociais envolvidos na produção e promoção da saúde. Incorpora também os benefícios do desenvolvimento tecnológico e científico".
