This article analyses the feeling of loneliness at the top positions in organizations. We make a distinction between solitude and loneliness. The first is a decision of being alone and the feeling is not negative. The former is a negative feeling when people feel isolated. We interviewed top executives in eight important Brazilian organizations through the methodology of Content Analysis. The results indicate that the creative and sometimes innovative ideas flourish best in solitude since it activates the sense of responsibility. Solitude at the top is associated to leadership and decision making. Learning organizations should enhance individual learning and qualify their top management to deal with the responsibility of being a solo practioner.

This work studies people living alone in Brazil’s eight most populated capital cities. Drawing on 1970, 1980, 1991 and 2000 data from the country’s census bureau (IBGE), it analyzes demographic and socioeconomic segmentation variables (gender, age range, literacy level and ownership of residence). An increase in loneperson households was observed in comparison to the overall population. Some general trends were also identified, such as the growing participation of people over the age of sixty, retirees and the predominance of women. Besides that, substantial differences were found among the eight cities. Grouping such data may provide support not only for several activity sectors, such as industry, retail and services, but also for issues related to urban planning, architecture, public administration and environment management.

This way, it is approached the fragility and traps in the analytic of the finitude contained in the thought of the modernity and to bring through an analysis of Michel Foucault’s thought another form of to understand the Man and analyzing your speech. For so much, we approached what would be man’s conception contained in the modernity, comparing it with the Man’s perspective in Foucault’s thought.

In the organizational structure of the police, the internal affairs division has the role of investigating professional misconduct attributed to police officers. When an improper conduct is detected, an investigation process is triggered. There is room, however, for concerns regarding whether the process will be impartial, given that police officers may attempt at influencing decisions for their own benefit or, at least, try to postpone the conclusion of the investigation. In our paper, we analyze a sample of 143 investigation processes against police officers in the General Internal Affairs Division of the State of Bahia, Brazil. We seek to identify the factors that contribute to the investigation process are concluded or not. Our econometric results show that the position that the police officer has in the organization and his tenure on the job (which should be correlated with the extent of informal relationships developed within the  organization) do influence the probab ility of the investigation will concluded or not. Thus, results indicate that police officers seem to use formal and informal channels of influence to mitigate the threat of punishmenta conduct that is, therefore, misaligned with the public interest.

The theories of change and chaos can give a large vision of the relations, aspects and implications of tourism, considering environmental and market uncertainties and instabilities. The majorities of the models of analysis, planning and management of Tourism are still limited, due to their linear and one dimensional character. The objective of the chaos theory is to offer explanations about the phenomenons, not to make predictions, because it is impossible to predict the future at long term. The management strategies create new sources of uncertainty, because the reality can not be completely represented by models. To be award of these facts means, however, considering the range of possibilities and opportunities of change and chaos in the management of tourism development. Based on these ideas, this article analyses the experiences of Gramado and Canela, two of the main tourist cities of Brazil, situated in the Highland Region of Rio Grande do Sul State.

This article aims to analyze the pathways of the Organizational Studies and of the Curriculum Studies during the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty first century, highlighting their symmetries and theoretical convergences. As organizations can vary endlessly in time and in space, the curricula vary from institution to institution, from a course to another. Therefore, in both pathways, the studies accumulated knowledge about organizations and the curricula as social constructions. Thus, organizations and curricula are reflection of social practices. From the convergences found and their analysis, it will be proposed an agenda of researches which contemplate the two fields of study, in a convergent way, treating organizational studies as structural axis of the Administration course, which is specially important moment when the institutional drawings of the teaching in Brazil are discussed again, in the reformist setting of governmental projects and as reflection of changes that the university of the world lives, in risky times, uncertainty and paradigmatic reconstruction.
