In what ways is Rio presented as a city of contrasts? Rio is the city with sewers and without sewers- asphalt and made out of dirt. There are wealthy parts and there are slumps. 2. What are the differences and similarities between Laranginha’s (Uólace’s) and João Victor’s home lives and families? Differences: Victor made homemade meals and ate with his mother. Uolace ate pizza with his friends. Victor’s father showed up and wants to be his father. Uolace is mother is away for work and there were no food in the house. Uolace worries to find food. Uolace doesn’t even have milk, coffee, bread and butter in his house. It’s ironic that Victor’s mom is scared of stray bullets when they live in a nice neighborhood. Victor’s mom is close to him and babied him (wanted to brush his hair). Victor wants a new pair of shoes. Victor complains about the foods that given to him. School isn’t a big deal to Uolace. Uolace and his friend worked for their food. Victor just had to make it. Same: both woke up to the sound of sirens. Both have been given a good name by their mothers so they can be important and have glorious future. They both wanted hamburger and dislike milk...

...Brazil. After the Portuguese monarchy departed, As one of these countries, Brazil managed to gain independence from its mother country , Portugal, in 1822 with the help of its new emperor Dom Pedro I. With Napoleonic wars raging throughout Europe the emperor of Portugal, Dom Joao, attempted to stay neutral. However, the neutrality of Portugal proved hard to maintain when Napoleon established the "continental blockade" in 1806 (Martin 183). In 1807, Napoleon declared the Braganza dynasty's surrender of the throne and the division of Portugal between France and Spain (183). The news forced Dom Joao to make a decision, he and his entire court fled to Brazil with the help of British fleets in order to escape Napoleon's army. The royal family arrived in 1808 and established their rule in Rio de Janeiro at the heart of Brazil. Upon arrival, Dom Joao found a colony that was commercially and economically backwards compared to Portugal. One of the only manufacturing opportunities encouraged by the Portuguese monarch prior to arrival was ship building as well as the processing of sugar (Macaulay 87). The Portuguese had not even allowed them to partake in metallurgy and the use of textiles (Macaulay 87). Dom Joao immediately abolished Portugal's...

...Fogaolo Utu IHRM 670 5/21/11 Case Analysis # 7 Norge Electronics (Portugal), SA Norge Electronics business is the sale, installation and maintenance of equipment for textile manufacturers. The four main sources of revenue are from sale of Norge equipment, fees (maintenance service contracts), sale of spare parts and commissions on the sale of other equipment and spare parts from other manufacturers. The philosophy of Norge is ‘total service’ to its customers. Norge Portugal was headed by Manager Director Lars Jorgensen. Joao Silva the head Maintenance Teams and Administration Department was asked by Jorgensen to present a climate study based on the company. Joao was accountable for finance management, treasury, general, cost accounting, legal, and personnel. During the process of conducting a climate study for Norge, there were a lot of changes that were implemented by Joao Silva in Norge Portugal. These changes became the issues and problems for the company. I think the problems during the implementation process occurred mostly because of Silva and the higher-ups like Jorgensen. Problems: The first problem was that Silva was not a personnel manager and I thought maybe he was not the right person to do a climate study for the company. Also, he implemented all of the changes alone without involving his colleagues or the rest of the team in making decisions. Another problem was when Silva pressured his colleagues to deliver the job descriptions on time by threatening...

...José Bonifácio de Andrada: Hidden Founding Father of Brazil Every country had its challenges when it came to fighting for independence. "Brazil's nineteenth-century experience, not only retained a monarchical form of government while every other independent country in Latin America became republic, but declared independence while keeping the Portuguese royal family on the throne." (Levine, xiv) Though Brazil was an exception because there was no war of independence but there was chaotic mess. One important leader who helped create the monarchy and guided the first emperors of Brazil went by the name of Jose Bonifacio de Andrada e Silva. Before he was considered one of the founding fathers in Brazil he was, “a Brazilian-born statesman and natural scientist” (Encyclopedia of World Biography) Bonifacio was in a well position in society because he went to school in São Paulo, Brazil then received his higher education in Portugal in the University of Coimbra. Jose Bonifacio graduated and obtained a degree in philosophy and law. He was very prominent in science and governmental issues. Soon after he graduated from the university, Bonifacio was involved in a scientific mission involving, “mining, mineralogy, and chemistry in Paris and mining in Saxony.” (Encyclopedia) He was well known in Portuguese government because, “The survey took 10 years and gained him a reputation as a natural scientist of note.” (Encyclopedia of World Biography) Through his good reputations, Bonifacio immediately...

...Ronaldo de Assis Moreira (born 21 March 1980 in Porto Alegre), commonly known as Ronaldinho (Brazilian Portuguese: [ʁonaɫˈdʒĩɲu]) or Ronaldinho Gaúcho,[2] is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Italian Serie A club Milan and the Brazilian national team. He is a free-kick specialist and has exceptional dribbling ability. Ronaldinho, Portuguese for \"Little Ronaldo,\" is known in Brazil by the nickname \"Gaúcho,\" in order to distinguish him from Ronaldo, who was already called \"Ronaldinho\" in Brazil. Ronaldo simply went by his first name upon his move to Europe, thereby allowing Ronaldinho to drop the \"Gaúcho\" and remain simply as Ronaldinho. Prior to his move to Milan, he played for Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona, with whom he won his first Champions League in 2006 and he won the Ballon d\'Or in 2005. He became a Spanish citizen in January 2007.[3]Ronaldinho is one of the best soccer players I ever saw in my life. He does everything very nicely: freekicks, dribles, shoot, velocity, stamina and the list goes on. Ronaldinho has a vision of the game that not many others players does. For example, even when he�s behind the defense players from the other team, he�s able to see his mate in the other side of the field, passing the ball through the defense players. Ronaldinho plays for Barcelona in Spain, where he already won the Uefa Champions League, the most important cup someone can win for a club. He also plays in the Brazil�s team, where he won the World Cup in...

...da história do Brasil denominado tradicionalmente pela historiografia como "Brasil Império", "Brasil Imperial" e "Brasil Monárquico") foi um Estado que existiu durante o século XIX e que compreendia grande parte dos territórios que formam o Brasil e o Uruguai modernos. Seu governo era uma monarquia constitucional parlamentar representativa sob o domínio dos imperadores D. Pedro I e de seu filho, D. Pedro II, ambos membros da Casa de Bragança, um ramo da dinastia capetiana. De uma colônia do Reino de Portugal, o Brasil se tornou a sede do Império Colonial Português em 1808, quando o então príncipe regente de Portugal (que futuramente se tornaria o rei D. João VI) fugiu da invasão do território português pelas tropas de Napoleão I e estabeleceu a si mesmo e o seu governo na cidade brasileira do Rio de Janeiro. Mais tarde, D. João VI retornou para Portugal, deixando seu herdeiro e filho mais velho, D. Pedro, para governar o Brasil como Príncipe Regente. Em 7 de setembro de 1822, o Príncipe Regente D. Pedro declarou a independência do Brasil e, depois de travar uma guerra bem-sucedida contra o reino de seu pai, foi aclamado, em 12 de outubro, como D. Pedro I, o primeiro imperador do Brasil. O novo país era enorme, mas pouco povoado e etnicamente diverso. Ao contrário da maioria das repúblicas latino-americanas vizinhas, o Brasil era politicamente estável, tinha liberdade de expressão, respeito pelos direitos civis e crescimento econômico vibrante. Seu parlamento bicameral era eleito...

...Theater of the Real Shot between 1981 and 1984, Cabra marcado para morrer (1984) is, in a sense, the completion of the project from which it inherits its title; it integrates original footage salvaged after the Brazilian military invaded the Galiléia cooperative in Pernambuco at the time of the March 31, 1964 coup. Filming had begun just a month earlier. The original Cabra—made with the support of the National Student Union (União Nacional dos Estudantes, UNE) and the leftist Movement for Popular Culture (Movimento de Cultura Popular, MPC), created by Recife’s radical prefect Miguel Arraes de Alencar (1916–2005)— was to be a feature-length fiction about the struggles and assassination of peasant leader João Pedro Teixeira (1918–1962), enacted by real-life peasants, including João Pedro’s wife Elisabeth and several of their eleven children, playing themselves. Following the Amnesty law of 1979, which opened a tortuous process of “democratization,” Coutinho and his crew returned to the original locations and found the participants from the project that was aborted seventeen years earlier. Coutinho eventually went on to make a very different film than what the original Cabra would have been. The opening sequence, which shows the reunited participants and their families watching the salvaged film reels during an open-air screening at Galiléia, not only revisits but also actively inverts the original’s relationship to history and its filmic representation. As Consuelo Lins observes...

...Race and Struggle of Samba Samba exists throughout Brazil, peculiarly in the states of Bahia, Mahranhão, Minas Gerais, and São Paulo. Samba has two popular forms of expression: music and dance. A majority of people identify samba as the musical expression of urban Rio de Janeiro. Although samba is commonly identified with Brazil, the start of samba begins in Africa. According to Marc Hertzman, the origins of samba in Brazil can be trace back to the 1800s-a time when Brazil was still in the process of finding its own national identity. After Brazil freed the last of its remaining slaves, Brazil faced racial and economic divides, but with all this issues samba emerged as a building block of national identity. Samba is something unique that could be embraced by all Brazilians. Samba had an impact on Brazil as nation, but also it had an enormous impact on the individual and the African-Brazilian population. Throughout the world’s history, music has had the capability to tell the story of many slaves. Slaves in both the United States and Brazil had slave hymns. For example, the famous song Wade In the Water, which now commonly associated with the Underground Railroad. Once slavery ended, the sounds of those who were discriminated against changed. In the United States, slave hymns became the sound of jazz and the blues and in Brazil, samba was created. Samba is a word that is believed to come from the West African Bantu word, meaning “to pray” or “to invoke the spirits...

...Journal of Management Studies ••:•• 2012 doi: 10.1111/j.1467-6486.2012.01044.x Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Base of the Pyramid: A Recipe for Inclusive Growth or Social Exclusion? joms_1044 1..28 Jeremy Hall, Stelvia Matos, Lorn Sheehan and Bruno Silvestre Simon Fraser University; Simon Fraser University; Dalhousie University; University of Winnipeg abstract Policy makers often see entrepreneurship as a panacea for inclusive growth in underdeveloped ‘Base of the Pyramid’ (BOP) regions, but it may also lead to unanticipated negative outcomes such as crime and social exclusion. Our objective is to improve the understanding of how entrepreneurship policies can lead to socially inclusive growth at the BOP. Drawing on data collected from Brazilian tourism destinations with varying entrepreneurship, innovation, and social inclusion policies, we argue that weak institutions coupled with alert entrepreneurs encourage destructive outcomes, especially if entrepreneurship policies are based solely on economic indicators. Policies addressing both economic and social perspectives may foster more productive entrepreneurial outcomes, albeit at a more constrained economic pace. The study extends the related BOP, entrepreneurship, global value chain, and sustainable tourism literatures by examining the poor as entrepreneurs, the role of local innovation, and how entrepreneurship policies generate different social impacts within poor communities.

...back a wood that produced a red dye, pau-brasil, from which the land received its name. Portugal began colonization in 1532 and made the area a royal colony in 1549. During the Napoleonic Wars, King João VI, fearing the advancing French armies, fled Portugal in 1808 and set up his court in Rio de Janeiro. João was drawn home in 1820 by a revolution, leaving his son as regent. When Portugal tried to reimpose colonial rule, the prince declared Brazil's independence on Sept. 7, 1822, becoming Pedro I, emperor of Brazil. Harassed by his parliament, Pedro I abdicated in 1831 in favor of his five-year-old son, who became emperor in 1840 (Pedro II). The son was a popular monarch, but discontent built up, and in 1889, following a military revolt, he abdicated. Although a republic was proclaimed, Brazil was ruled by military dictatorships until a revolt permitted a gradual return to stability under civilian presidents. President Wenceslau Braz cooperated with the Allies and declared war on Germany during World War I. In World War II, Brazil again cooperated with the Allies, welcoming Allied air bases, patrolling the South Atlantic, and joining the invasion of Italy after declaring war on the Axis powers. After a military coup in 1964, Brazil had a series of military governments. Gen. João Baptista de Oliveira Figueiredo became president in 1979 and pledged a return to democracy in 1985. The election of Tancredo Neves on Jan. 15, 1985, the first...

...INDIVIDUAL WRITE-UP #2 “Philips – Indal: The deal from Heaven” Strategy II Professor João Silveira Lobo João Pedro Azevedo Teixeira Guedes Monteiro #2772 November 25th, 2015 It is paramount to refer that in 2011 the new CEO (Frans Van Houten) changed the path of the company with a new strategy that requested for a modification in the structure of Philips. The case Philips-Indal presents an acquisition situation where Philips, a Dutch Electronics company, integrates Indal, a Spanish lightning company. Due to the difficulties of M&A processes a New Venture Integration (NVI) team needed to create a “Sales Integration Approach” (SIA) in order to integrate properly both companies and create sales synergies. Regarding Spanish market and the 4th set of SIA (Market Growth and Integration Plan) there are two possible layouts to choose: Full integration Model: consists on a fully integration of Indal into existing Philips organization PROS | Production oriented and distribution network with higher effectiveness Boosts cost synergies Less accounting managers reporting to the superiors leading to a better communication (Less FTE)Higher level of control and less complexityEasier implementation of a global corporate culture | CONS | Lower market knowledge and lack of product development strategy Low autonomy leading to lack of flexibilityHigher impact in performance if some crisis or failure occurs due to centralization (easier propagation of a problem through the...
