Mathematical models are relevant to indicate the optimal location of facilities and, consequently, help in the search for efficiency in the supply chain. Although facility location problems are consolidated in the Operational Research field, few publications are dedicated to investigate the profile of the academic production (the amount of paper published), aiming to direct new studies on the subject and propose models that solve the current challenges. Thus, this paper aims to present a scientometric analysis of the articles on facility location published in the Web of Science, in order to verify the profile of Brazilian scientific production. As result, approximately 2% of the papers have researchers affiliated to Brazilian institutions. The interest for the subject is recent, with emphasis on universities. Brazil maintains an intense international collaboration network, cooperating with 45 different countries, especially USA. Finally, there is opportunity for publications that include the environmental dimention to mathematical models and for expansion in company-university-government collaboration.
In the search of sustainable process and products, ecofriendly policies have been developed over the years, aiming at reducing the environmental impacts as a step toward sustainability. Among the environmental impacts, alternatives to mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions - GHG stand out due to the concerns with climate change. Then, the development and use of renewable resources become relevant. Considering that supply chains are intense in energy consumption and GHG emissions (since involves processes related to supply, production, transport, consumption), it becomes relevant to investigate if the management of sustainable supply chain are considering the renewable energies in their processes. Therefore, this paper aims at mapping the role of renewable energies in the context of sustainable supply chain, analyzing the literature published at Web of Science database - WoS about the subject. The main researchers, organizations, collaboration networks were presented, and the 21 most cited studies were mapped in this paper. The research was carried out with the papers published at WoS until 2019, using VantagePoint software to handle information. The findings show that the research about renewable energy in the context of sustainable supply chain has been growing, especially since 2010. Moreover, biomass, biofuels and photovoltaic energy were the most recurrent sources of renewable energy studied by most cited papers. However, the theme presented itself as new and that there are still potential to be explored.
Aliar teoria e prática é um dos grandes desafios para o ensino em escolas de negócios. Por vezes, muitos conceitos de gestão têm complexo delineamento e difícil visualização prática, como pode ocorrer com o ensino de artefatos de contabilidade gerencial. Diante disso, jogos de empresas podem proporcionar um ambiente para a prática gerencial, sob risco e incerteza controlados, para que os estudantes possam desenvolver competências necessárias à vida profissional. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho objetiva identificar as contribuições/limitações do uso de jogos de empresa para o ensino de artefatos de contabilidade gerencial. Trata-se de um estudo ex-post facto que analisa o desempenho de uma empresa simulada durante a vivência em um jogo de empresas. A partir de um problema gerencial e dos efeitos organizacionais visualizados na vivência proveniente da tomada de decisão dos estudantes, que assumiram o papel de diretores, os relatórios gerenciais produzidos pelo simulador e pelos estudantes foram analisados à luz do ciclo de Kolb, demonstrando assim, que há indícios de que a vivência pôde propiciar um ambiente que fomente o aprender pela ação em contabilidade gerencial.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
