Carne de frango: uma anÃ¡lise da relaÃ§Ã£o entre os preÃ§os dos produtores e de exportaÃ§Ã£o
Brazil is the largest exporter and third largest producer in the chicken meat market. Consequently, it is important to know the relationship between domestic and export prices. Through the Granger causation method and the cointegrating method of Engle and Granger and the Johansen one, this study aims to verify the hypothesis of long-term relationship between both domestic and export prices of chicken meat. The results indicate that prices are cointegrated. The conclusion is that the prices received by the Brazilian producers are possibly sensible to the behavior of world market prices, and therefore they should worried about internal factors which may enlarge differences between both prices.
This paper shows a new method for integration of Kano's model in quality function deployment (QFD) through a case study of evaluating the 9th China-Asean Exposition. The QFD could help collect customer's needs and translate them into the relative arrangement and management of exposition. But in order to understand the customers' needs accurately, the paper introduces Kano's model so as to distinguish the excitement needs, the basic needs and the performance needs. This methodology has been used in product design and production plan. This study uses it to evaluate that the exposition satisfies its exhibitors' requirements to what extent, which starts a new application field for QFD and Kano's model. Finally, this paper gives some implication advice for the China-Asean Exposition so as to help improve its quality.
