BRAZILIAN OIL PIONEERS

In the Brazilian popular imagination, the discovery of oil was announced on August 9, 1938, by the Viscount of Corncob. The Donabentense Oil Company drilled Caraminguá’s first well, near the creek that passed through the Yellow Woodpecker Ranch (“Sítio do Picapau Amarelo,” in colloquial Portuguese). The latter was the name of a famous Brazilian children’s book. In fact, the first oil well flowed in Salvador, Bahia, on January 21, 1939, discovered by Manoel Ignácio Bastos (1891 - 1940), a Brazilian geographer engineer, whose business partner, Oscar Salvador Cordeiro (1890 - 1970), was the president of the Bahia Commodities Exchange. A brief analysis of documents, such as reports, Brazilian decrees and executive orders, as well as newspapers, detail the actions of these Brazilian oil pioneers. Statistical data analysis was also performed about onshore and offshore oil production between 1941 and 2019, as a part of Bastos and Cordeiros’ heritage.

De RH a Business Partner: relato de experiência do início da trajetória profissional

Para se adaptarem às mudanças sociais e se manterem competitivas, as organizações foram impelidas a investir no setor de Recursos Humanos (RH). O papel de Human Resource Business Partner (HRBP) se tornou uma alternativa para as organizações que buscam maior agilidade nos processos de RH e a aproximação deste setor à estratégia de negócio da empresa. Através do relato de experiência, este trabalho visa analisar o início da trajetória profissional de uma HRBP em uma startup de tecnologia, elencando as competências desenvolvidas e as dificuldades enfrentadas. A falta de senioridade e de treinamento para ocupar a função de HRBP foram alguns dos principais fatores que dificultaram a atuação no cargo. Contudo, o acompanhamento de uma BP sênior, a realização de atividades mais direcionadas e a obtenção da confiança dos times possibilitaram uma atuação mais assertiva. Destaca-se a oportunidade de atuar e desenvolver competências essenciais como visão estratégica e sistêmica, conhecimento analítico e de negócios, comunicação e treinamento de lideranças. Devido ao destaque que o papel de HRBP vem recebendo nos últimos anos e à escassez de produções acadêmicas nacionais sobre ele, este relato busca contribuir com a trajetória de outros profissionais que visam migrar para este papel, e estimular futuras pesquisas.

Radio in the Promotion of Croatian Tourism

Radio is a traditionally popular medium that still has its continuous and stable listenership. The digital age has endowed it with new technical and technological possibilities and multimedia, including a big breakthrough of digital audio broadcasting (DAB+). The Republic of Croatia is one of the leading European road trip destinations. Most of the tourists reach Croatia by car, which allows them to use their own vehicles for excursions during their holidays. Almost half of the population of the European Union is still in the habit of listening to the radio while driving. Therefore, radio stations, particularly those based in Adriatic Croatia, should not be left out from the endeavours to achieve the best possible results in the sector of tourism. The paper presents the findings of a qualitative survey that was conducted during January and February 2021 at radio stations whose headquarters are in this area (N=49). The aim of the research was to determine the current engagement of radio in the production of content intended for domestic and foreign tourists, the modalities and dynamics of cooperation with tourism entities in the field of broadcasting and the potential use of radio in the post-Covid tourist season. Twenty-eight radio editors (56%) responded to the survey. All of them consider radio to be a good medium for tourist promotion, yet the findings indicate a lack of offer of news and promotional tourist content. The most common reasons are unfavourable financial and personnel circumstances. With the synergy between tourist entities and radio stations, radio could prove to be a reliable business partner.

How Nonprofits Make Sense of Corporate Volunteering: Explaining Different Forms of Nonprofit-Business Collaboration

Corporate volunteering (CV) is an increasingly common type of nonprofit-business collaboration and can take various forms, and its benefits for the business partner are well studied. The benefits for the nonprofit partner, however, are less evident and often questioned. This study investigates why nonprofits engage in and how they make sense of CV collaborations, building on the concepts of sensemaking and cognitive frames. Drawing on interviews with staff in nonprofit organizations, we reveal that decisions about CV collaborations usually go beyond the resources acquired through CV itself. We identify three different CV frames and show how they lead to different types of partnerships, hereby challenging the assumption that more integrative partnerships are superior to philanthropic ones. Our results show that depending on the frame used, different perceptions of the distribution of power between the nonprofit and the business partner exist, addressing the crucial role of how nonprofit organizations position themselves in such partnerships.

HR Biznes Partner – geneza oraz funkcje we współczesnych organizacjach

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badania dotyczącego popularyzacji funkcji Human Resource Business Partner (HR BP, HR Biznes Partner) we współczesnych przedsiębiorstwach. Na podstawie studium literatury z zakresu zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi oraz HR BP opracowano wzorcowy zakres obowiązków HR BP. Zestawiono go następnie z przykładami praktycznymi w postaci analizy dokumentów wewnętrznych oraz wynikami badania ankietowego przeprowadzonego wśród osób zajmujących stanowiska w działach HR różnych firm. Rezultaty przeprowadzonych badań i analiz świadczą o tym, że nazwa stanowiska HR BP nie zawsze odnosi się do zadań przypisanych tej roli we wzorcowym zakresie obowiązków. I odwrotnie, wypełnienie wzorcowego zakresu obowiązków przez pracowników działu HR w założonym minimum nie zawsze niesie za sobą nazwę stanowiska HR Biznes Partner.
