  • Key Aspects of the Information Systems Field

    Linha de pesquisa: Administração, Análise e Tecnologia da Informação 

    A core competency of master and doctoral students is the ability to advance the knowledge in the field. To successfully acquire this competence, first it is essential that the contours of the discipline are very clearly understood so new knowledge can be consistently proposed and recognized in the field. Effectively delineating a discipline requires knowing its four essential and interconnected dimensions, which are: (1) Domains: what are the real and significant problems that are addressed in the short and long term by the discipline; (2) Criteria: the values and conditions that legitimize new knowledge and researchers; (3) Practices: the scientific approaches and strategies that are mostly recognizable and employed by the participants in the sense that characterizes a set of best practices in the field; and (4) Gates and Agents: the key processes and actors involved in producing new knowledge and disseminating it, and from where useful examples can be obtained. This course aims to provide students with broad knowledge about these four dimensions in the mainstream of
    Information Systems (IS) discipline. At the end of the course, students are expected to be able to recognize and navigate in IS research field, as well as plan and articulate actions that meet the key requirements for proposing highquality knowledge, which will allow them to guide their choices in the development of their own research proposals

  • Focal topics in Information Systems

    Linha de pesquisa: Administração, Análise e Tecnologia da Informação 

    The relationship between technology and sustainability has been increasingly paradoxical in our century. If on one hand the technological development has brought great advances in the quality of life and productivity in many regions of the world, on the other hand its omnipresence in all spheres of human life and the different levels of penetration in different areas has also been a source of tensions and criticism. Recent research in the information systems (IS) field point to a positive contribution of ICT - information and communication technologies - for sustainable development, in particular its necessary alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, in various areas of activities, such as fighting poverty and inequalities, improving health, education, employment and many other topics. The positive effect is mainly through increased access to information and reduction of communication costs. Internet and mobile phones have great potential for improving health and education systems and in fighting regional and social inequalities, as well as proctecting the environment.

    However these benefits are not being fully realized for a number of reasons of a different nature, which can be analyzed from different perspectives. In this interdisciplinary course we discuss the different roles that ICT can play to sustainable development. The focus is the Brazilian scenario, but during the course will be extensively discussed examples of other cultures and territories. This theme, which has already been internationally known as ICT for Good (alignment of Information and Communication Technologies with the Sustainable Development Goals), has produced extensive bibliography that will be widely used during the course.

  • Ecossistemas de Inovação

    Linha de pesquisa: Gestão de Operações e Sustentabilidade 

    As pressões competitivas crescentemente forçam as empresas a inovar mais e reduzir seu time-to-market. Como resultado, a abordagem de inovação aberta é agora o status quo e as empresas geralmente adotam práticas de inovação colaborativa para acessar conhecimento e capacidades de clientes e parceiros de rede localizados em todo o mundo para aumentar sua capacidade de inovação e competitividade. Nesse contexto, os ecossistemas de inovação ganharam importancia. Muita atenção é dedicada a como empresas estabelecidas, startups, capitalistas de risco, anjos de negócios, bancos, agências do setor público, universidades e centros de pesquisa interagem e alinham seus interesses para inovar. Para os líderes empresariais, o ecossistema é uma fonte de ideias vencedoras e um meio para acelerar seus esforços inovadores. Por sua vez, os formuladores de políticas o veem como uma noção robusta para orientar a criação de mecanismos de políticas e ações para estimular a inovação. Na academia, o conceito vem sendo estudado em diferentes campos e criticado por sua falta de valor agregado em comparação com noções existentes no campo da inovação, como redes de inovação, por exemplo. O objetivo dessa disciplina é fornecer um panorama aos alunos sobre a literatura de ecossistemas de inovação para promover um entendimento das lentes teóricas que embasam o estudo desse fenômeno e da diferenciação desse conceito em relação a outros construtos relevantes, como redes de inovação, ecossistemas de empreendedorismo e supply chain management. Para isso, vamos explorar definições, diferenças entre conceitos, e avaliar o estado da arte dessa literatura.

  • Quantitative Research Methods (ofertada pela Escolas de Métodos)

    It is considered a relevant skill for a researcher to be able to understand, choose, and employ state-of-the-art data analysis techniques. The quantitative approach lies among the fundamental research traditions in social science in the sense that no successful researcher can afford to be less than proficient. This course intends not only to be about the use of statistics in research but also to navigate the interconnected details of quantitative research design and its implications related to the method details. Besides being able to reproduce techniques, this course is oriented to prepare MSc and PhD students to understand and execute the most appropriate quantitative technique available fully. It will be built around supporting software like R, whereas SPSS and STATA can also be employed. However, its most crucial knowledge refers to the strategic decisions a skilled researcher must make regarding the techniques and choices that result from a proper analysis strategy. Multiple high-level ABS 4 and 4* papers will be examples of the most updated analytical requirements, the conjunction of sequential tests, and results reports.

  • Focal topics in Information Systems

    Linha de pesquisa: Administração, Análise e Tecnologia da Informação 

    The relationship between technology and sustainability has been increasingly paradoxical in our century. If on one hand the technological development has brought great advances in the quality of life and productivity in many regions of the world, on the other hand its omnipresence in all spheres of human life and the different levels of penetration in different areas has also been a source of tensions and criticism. Recent research in the information systems (IS) field point to a positive contribution of ICT - information and communication technologies - for sustainable development, in particular its necessary alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, in various areas of activities, such as fighting poverty and inequalities, improving health, education, employment and many other topics. The positive effect is mainly through increased access to information and reduction of communication costs. Internet and mobile phones have great potential for improving health and education systems and in fighting regional and social inequalities, as well as proctecting the environment.

    However these benefits are not being fully realized for a number of reasons of a different nature, which can be analyzed from different perspectives. In this interdisciplinary course we discuss the different roles that ICT can play to sustainable development. The focus is the Brazilian scenario, but during the course will be extensively discussed examples of other cultures and territories. This theme, which has already been internationally known as ICT for Good (alignment of Information and Communication Technologies with the Sustainable Development Goals), has produced extensive bibliography that will be widely used during the course.

  • Key Aspects of the Information Systems Field

    Linha de pesquisa: Administração, Análise e Tecnologia da Informação 

    A core competency of master and doctoral students is the ability to advance the knowledge in the field. To successfully acquire this competence, first it is essential that the contours of the discipline are very clearly understood so new knowledge can be consistently proposed and recognized in the field. Effectively delineating a discipline requires knowing its four essential and interconnected dimensions, which are: (1) Domains: what are the real and significant problems that are addressed in the short and long term by the discipline; (2) Criteria: the values and conditions that legitimize new knowledge and researchers; (3) Practices: the scientific approaches and strategies that are mostly recognizable and employed by the participants in the sense that characterizes a set of best practices in the field; and (4) Gates and Agents: the key processes and actors involved in producing new knowledge and disseminating it, and from where useful examples can be obtained. This course aims to provide students with broad knowledge about these four dimensions in the mainstream of
    Information Systems (IS) discipline. At the end of the course, students are expected to be able to recognize and navigate in IS research field, as well as plan and articulate actions that meet the key requirements for proposing highquality knowledge, which will allow them to guide their choices in the development of their own research proposals
