The information society brings new responsibilities for all social actors included in it. In this context, information is considered a strategic input capable of generating benefits for an organization and those who wish to have a higher level of quality must devote efforts to managing internal and external information. One of the dimensions involved in the information management process is the relationship with the publics that make up the organization. It so happens that an organization such as a public university has different audiences, which can be called stakeholders. As the stakeholders are in constant relationship with the organization, it is necessary for the public institution to adopt mechanisms that provide for the observance of governance and accountability, indispensable elements for achieving social management. That said, the objective of this research is to analyze the information management in the accountability process of UFAL. In the methodological aspect, this research has a qualitative and descriptive approach. Considering the objectives, it is possible to classify it as descriptive and documentary. Regarding the choice of object, it is configured as a case study and uses targeted interviews and documentary research as data collection instruments.

In the 21st century, access to information has grown considerably. Tourism represents a large part of the world economy, so citizens who are interested in economic development, theoretically, are concerned with the sustainable growth of this industry. In this sense, understandable sources of information are needed, according to legal requirements, to monitor the actions carried out within the scope of Tourism. The objective of this work is to analyze the conditions for the disclosure of public information, if they meet the minimum requirements of Law 12527/2011 in Brazil, known as Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This is a cross-sectional, exploratory-descriptive study, using documentary analysis, carried out on the official websites of the Tourism Agencies of the states in the Northeast region of Brazil. As for the legal obligation to disclose information related to public management, there were communication failures and, even, lack of information, harming citizens' interests. It is concluded that there is a need for greater disclosure and understanding of the referred law to contribute to the effective exercise of citizenship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study investigates the influence of new technology anticipation by manufacturing firms on performance. Complementarily, a comparative analysis between Brazilian and plants located in other countries was performed. To test these issues, data was collected from 337 firms located in 11 countries, including Brazil. Key aspects in Operations Management such as manufacturing strategy, functional integration, supply chain management and supplier partnership were considered as relevant for technology anticipation. Results suggest that manufacturing strategy, functional integration, and supplier partnership are important for firms located abroad, while only functional integration is important for Brazilian firms. Finally, there are evidences suggesting a positive relationship between new technology anticipation and operational performance for international and Brazilian firms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
