The article summarizes the results of the research conducted and theoretical and methodological approaches in strategizing and strategic management with considering the development principles. The author introduces the model of strategic management of spatial development based on the chaos theory of infl ation in the economic environment. The article also defi nes the notion of “structurizing” as a sort of strategic management. The design of economic structures is considered as the implementation mechanism for the strategy developed according to the balanced scorecard (BSC) methodology. The article reveals the specific features of maintaining the competitiveness of a regional spatial and sectoral structure from the viewpoint of sustainable development concept. The author suggests the SEEIT-method of analysis and synthesis to evaluate the competitiveness level from the spatial and sectoral perspective (analysis) and create competitive advantages of regional spatial and sectoral structure (synthesis). The author’s definition of sustainable development provides the basis for formulating a concept of transient competitive advantage which meets the modern conditions of competition.

Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de propor um modelo de Gestão Estratégica (GE) para uma unidade (campus) de um Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia (IF), formalizando-o por meio da adaptação do Balanced Scorecard (BSC). O estudo de caso baseou-se na coleta de dados pela aplicação da técnica de grupos focais, sendo as informações obtidas interpretadas qualitativamente pela atuação de um grupo de trabalho (GT) multidisciplinar. Através da construção e da proposição participativa e descentralizada de um BSC alternativo em uma organização pública, contribui-se para a redução de lacunas relacionadas à: i) resistência e ausência de inserção da comunidade acadêmica no processo de GE; e ii) utilização do BSC em IFs. Evidenciaram-se: i) a participação mais ativa de diversos membros organizacionais no processo de diagnóstico organizacional e de estruturação do modelo, buscando-se a sua efetiva legitimação; ii) a definição de estratégias organizacionais para a sistematização do Planejamento Estratégico (PE); e iii) a estruturação de um modelo de GE adequado às singularidades da instituição, consolidado pelo BSC. A nova arquitetura do BSC pode ser replicada a outras instituições de ensino similares, de modo a proporcionar estudos comparativos para verificação de sua validade externa. Esta pesquisa também reduz omissões da literatura sobre GE em IFs, detalhando o processo de elaboração de práticas estratégicas para a melhoria do desempenho organizacional.Palavras-chave: Gestão Estratégica.

The case study was based on the collection of data by applying focus group technique and the information obtained was interpreted qualitatively by a multidisciplinary working group. Through the construction and participatory proposition of an alternative BSC in a public organization, it contributes to the reduction of gaps related to i) resistance and absence of insertion of the academic community in the SM process and ii) use of BSC in IFs. It was evidenced i) the more active participation of the community in the process of organizational diagnosis and structuring of the model, seeking its effective legitimation; ii) the definition of organizational strategies for the systematization of Strategic Planning and iii) the structuring of an SM model that is appropriate to the singularities of the institution, consolidated by the BSC. The new architecture of the BSC can be replicated to other similar educational institutions in order to provide comparative studies and verify it external validity. The study also reduces omissions from the SM literature in FIs, detailing the process of devising strategic practices for improving organizational performance.Keywords: Strategic Management.

Purpose Sustainability is understood as a complex and integrating area, involving the most diverse areas and fields of knowledge. Because of the innumerable socio-environmental challenges in the current scenario, a sustainable development that finds the necessary changes and advances for communities, industry and the various stakeholders involved is required. In this process of promoting sustainable development, universities stand out for being institutions capable of taking an analytical and questioning look at the directions of the society in which they are inserted and not just helping them to pursue them, serving as a model and living laboratory for the implementation of greener practices in cities. One of the actions that contributes to the consolidation process of a more sustainable university and the development of the green campus is the use of green marketing, understood as a set of all the practices that involve conventional marketing, focused on the search to reduce the negative impact or promote positive effects on the relationship between the institution and the environment. This paper aims, based on the balanced scorecard (BSC), to propose a strategic management tool as support for green marketing strategies, thus promoting, more quickly, the promotion of sustainable development in higher education institutions (HEIs). Design/methodology/approach Four universities were chosen, from the literature, in terms of best practices for sustainable development, where the main dimensions used by green marketing were mapped. Based on them, the BSC structure was adapted to enhance its strategies. Findings To achieve the objective of this work, this paper proposed an adaptation of the original BSC for better management of green marketing strategies for universities, based on four dimensions: community members, university members, product and strategy. Originality/value The main contribution of this paper is to propose a BSC as a strategic management system focused on the green marketing of universities to accelerate the promotion of sustainable development in HEIs.

Difundido entre empresas de todo o mundo, o Balanced Scorecard, três décadas após a sua criação, continua sendo um instrumento utilizado pelas empresas para gestão do  Planejamento Estratégico. Este estudo tem o objetivo de analisar a utilização prática do Balanced Scorecard como instrumento de gestão do Planejamento Estratégico na empresa Novo Nordisk Produção Farmacêutica do Brasil Ltda., identificando pontos de divergência em relação à teoria criada por Kaplan e Norton nos anos 90. Para a realização da pesquisa, foi adotada a abordagem metodológica empírico analítica, com a condução de estudo de caso em uma unidade fabril da empresa localizada em Montes Claros – MG. Foram feitas 19 entrevistas semiestruturadas com diretores e gerentes e aplicados 207 questionários aos demais funcionários. Os resultados mostraram que entre os gestores da empresa existe um conhecimento comum em relação às premissas para definição do Planejamento Estratégico e  um alinhamento sobre o Balanced Scorecard.  Contrariamente ao exposto por Kaplan e Norton sobre as etapas de criação do Balanced Scorecard, verificou-se que o processo na Novo Nordisk em Montes Claros é desenvolvido de forma inversa, primeiro são recebidas as metas advindas da matriz, para então ser desenvolvido o Planejamento Estratégico que levará ao atingimento destas metas. A pesquisa mostrou ainda as adaptações feitas pela empresa em estudo ao modelo proposto por Kaplan e Norton, de forma a minimizar as barreiras oriundas do conflito de agência que podem levar ao insucesso na obtenção dos resultados esperados para as metas definidas no Planejamento Estratégico das organizações.Palavras-chave: Balanced scorecard.

This study aims to analyze the practical use of the Balanced Scorecard as an instrument for the management of Strategic Planning in Novo Nordisk Produção Farmacêutica do Brasil Ltda (Novo Nordisk Pharmaceutical Production of Brazil Ltda), identifying points of divergence from the theory created by Kaplan and Norton in the 1990s. To develop the research, the analytical empirical methodological approach was adopted, with the conduction of a case study at a company unit located in Montes Claros - MG. There were 19 semi-structured interviews with directors and managers and 207 questionnaires were applied to the other employees. The results showed that among the managers of the company there is a common knowledge regarding the premises for the definition of Strategic Planning and also an alignment on the Balanced Scorecard. Contrary to what Kaplan and Norton presented about the stages of the creation of the Balanced Scorecard, it was verified that the process at Novo Nordisk in Montes Claros is developed in an inverse way: first, the goals coming from the head quarter are received. Then the Strategic Planning, which will lead to the attainment of these goals, is developed. The research also showed the adaptations made by the company under study to the model proposed by Kaplan and Norton, in order to minimize the barriers from the agency conflict that can lead to the failure to obtain the expected results for the goals defined in the Strategic Planning of the organizations.Keywords: Balanced Scorecard.
