The Brazilian soybean producers, seeking competitive advantage and success in their business, understand that the foreign market becomes an alternative to diversify their activities, to seek new sources of income and to reduce dependence on their domestic market. However, the Brazilian context of international trade includes tariff and non-tariff barriers, which may jeopardize any deal, just because a simple price of goods increases or the withdrawal of a closing deal. This study analyzes three soybean exporting companies in the northern region of Rio Grande do Sul, through a multiple case study, more specifically about the barriers encountered in their internationalization process. All three cases demonstrated a development path toward internationalization, in view of gaining more competitiveness. However, there is still a large intervention by intermediaries, such as trading companies and brokers, in the export of soybean from Rio Grande do Sul. Even though exports are predominant among the soybean producers, the results show elements of hurdling about technical, logistics, sanitary and phytosanitary matters and subsidies.

Resumo: Este trabalho apresenta um estudo de casos múltiplos sobre a formação docente para a Educação Profissional Técnica de Nível Médio, tendo em vista as visões de três professores do magistério federal sobre o curso de formação pedagógica que realizaram no Instituto Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. Também foi realizado o estudo da estrutura curricular do referido curso, considerando-se os diferentes tempos e espaços disponibilizados. Os dados principais foram coletados a partir de duas fontes distintas (um questionário aplicado aos docentes e o Projeto Pedagógico do Curso) e interpretados pela análise de conteúdo. Os excertos analíticos, por um lado, mostraram relativa convergência entre a proposta curricular do curso e os requisitos da legislação; por outro, constatou-se que esses elementos divergem das visões dos sujeitos sobre a especificidade da docência na articulação do Ensino Médio com a Educação Profissional.

This research aims at analyzing how sustainability is being incorporated by industrial focal companies on supply chain practices within Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. An exploratory qualitative research was performed using a multiple case study strategy where four focal companies were investigated. These focal companies actuate with their supply chains in the electric-electronic, energy and footwear industries. Findings concluded that the economic pillar is still the most important for the investigated companies. It was also noted that the environmental pillar is becoming even more relevant, and the social one is still incipient within the practices of the industrial focal companies of the supply chains investigated.

Resumo: A proposta deste artigo é descrever uma investigação qualitativa, caracterizada como estudo de casos múltiplos, que envolveu sete professores da área de Ciências da Natureza que atuam em uma escola pública estadual do Rio Grande do Sul. Objetivou-se que esses movimentos de pesquisa fornecessem elementos considerados indicadores específicos para a construção de ações futuras de formação continuada. Tendo-se como referência a produção acadêmica contemporânea da área educacional e as diretrizes nacionais para as licenciaturas, foi construído e aplicado um questionário com questões abertas e fechadas, utilizando-se análise de conteúdo como técnica interpretativa das respostas descritivas. As análises efetuadas revelaram aproximações e afastamentos entre as visões dos sujeitos sobre as virtudes e fraquezas pertencentes aos respectivos cursos de formação inicial, bem como especificidades das condições de trabalho e do perfil profissional de cada docente que apresenta potencial para nortear, ainda que de modo parcial, o planejamento desejado.Palavras-chave: Formação docente.

These research movements were designed to provide elements regarded as specific indicators in which to base the construction of future actions for continued education. Referring to the contemporary academic production within educational area and national guidelines for undergraduate courses, a questionnaire with open and closed questions was designed and applied using content analysis as an interpretive technique of descriptive answers. Analyses carried out revealed approximations and withdrawals between the subjects' views on the virtues and weaknesses belonging to respective initial education courses, as well as specificities of working conditions and  professional profile of each teacher who has the potential to guide albeit in partially the desired planning.Keywords: Teacher education.

Multiple Case

This study analyses the coopetition strategy adopted by wineries in Southern Brazil with the support of local formal institutions to promote their internationalization. A multiple case study with 21 interviews with wineries and formal institutions of the industry was carried out. We used the discourse analysis based on the following categories: industry characterization, national and international markets, internationalization process, and institutional environment. The interpretations regarding the Integrated Sectorial Project (ISP) Wines of Brasil are shown. Despite its relevance, not all those involved have joined the project, because it promotes the internationalization unevenly through the competitive advantage while enhancing the differences between the wineries.  The main contributions are expanding the knowledge about coopetition by understanding the role of formal institutions and promoting the international competitiveness of firms in the wine industry.

The business models innovation in airlines can contribute to the creation of value, competitive advantage and profitability with new possibilities of action. The proposed paper aimed to identify the business models adopted by airlines and identify how the innovation occurs at these organizations. The methodology adopted is characterized as empirical, exploratory and descriptive research by multiple case study with three major Brazilian airlines. The results demonstrate that the search for paradigm breaks, related to the dichotomic traditional models of low-cost and full-service, toward hybrid business models occur linearly, as examples highlighted by companies, in which internal changes in business models are considered major organizational innovations.

Zusammenfassung. Hintergrund: Einrichtungen der stationären Langzeitpflege investieren seit Jahren Ressourcen in die Entwicklung der Kinästhetikkompetenz der Pflegenden. Aus aktuellen Studien geht hervor, dass die Implementierung, bzw. die nachhaltige Förderung der Kinästhetikkompetenz problematisch ist, vertiefte Erkenntnisse zu den Ursachen fehlen jedoch. Fragestellung: Welche Hemmnisse verhindern eine nachhaltige Implementierung von Kinästhetik in Einrichtungen der stationären Langzeitpflege? Methode: Es wurde eine Multiple Case-Study in drei Einrichtungen der deutschsprachigen Schweiz durchgeführt. Aus leitfadengestützten Interviews und (fallbezogener) Literatur zum externen Kontext wurden in den Within-Case-Analysen die Daten induktiv verdichtet und diese Ergebnisse in der Cross-Case-Synthese miteinander verglichen und abstrahierend zusammengeführt. Ergebnisse: Die Synthese zeigt, dass die Implementierung von Kinästhetik innerhalb der Einrichtung auf drei verschiedenen Ebenen – der Leitungs-, Pflegeteam- und Pflegeperson-Ebene – als auch durch externe Faktoren negativ beeinflusst werden kann. Schlussfolgerungen: In der Pflegepraxis und -wissenschaft sowie im Gesundheitswesen benötigt es ein grundlegendes Verständnis von Kinästhetik und wie dieses im Kontext des professionellen Pflegehandelns einzuordnen ist. Insbesondere Leitungs- und implementierungsverantwortliche Personen müssen mögliche Hemmnisse kennen, um entsprechende Strategien entwickeln zu können.
