DANO AMBIENTAL: QUANDO A RAIVA PODE LEVAR À DESCONTINUIDADE DO FORNECEDOR

RESUMO O estudo analisou os efeitos diretos e indiretos da controlabilidade e da responsabilidade na descontinuidade do fornecedor após dano ambiental. Os dados foram coletados junto a 267 indivíduos com experiência em gestão, por meio de um experimento baseado em cenários. Os resultados indicaram que a controlabilidade influencia a descontinuidade do fornecedor, bem como anger do comprador, quando o fornecedor, e não a natureza, possui controle sobre o dano ambiental ocorrido. O efeito indireto da controlabilidade foi parcialmente explicado pela anger sentida. Já os efeitos direto e indireto da responsabilidade não mostrou significância, sendo parcialmente explicado de maneira moderadora na relação entre a controlabilidade e a descontinuidade do fornecedor após o dano ambiental. O estudo identifica o papel comportamental de uma emoção negativa experimentada durante crises gerenciais, influenciando as tomadas de decisões de indivíduos quanto à descontinuidade do fornecedor após a ocorrência de um dano ambiental.

DISTÂNCIA PSICOLÓGICA NO MARKETING DE PRODUTOS NOSTÁLGICOS PARA COMUNIDADES EM DIÁSPORA: O CASO VENEZUELANO

ABSTRACT With this first systematic review of specific literature about diaspora marketing, it was found that this emerging literature focuses mainly on opportunities related to trade, tourism, and the acculturation between countries with different languages in only one host country. This research contributes toward a greater understanding of diaspora buying behavior using the construal level theory, specifically regarding the purchase of nostalgic products and services, examining the case of Venezuelan diaspora in the broader international context of five host countries: Colombia, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, and Panama Another contribution is the use of e-WOM metrics derived from advertising posts on Instagram. The results show that diaspora consumers in host countries that have higher levels of individualism, less masculinity, and are further geographically from their homeland seek to consume greater amounts of nostalgic products.

Theoretical-Methodological Foundations and Practical Systematization of Sociological Discourse Analysis

ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to present the theoretical and methodological foundations of sociological discourse analysis (SDA) and to demonstrate the practical application of its procedural basis by way of an exemplary case that has as its theme the culture of devotion to organizations. The development of a practical SDA plan is a constructive and incremental process and its paths are outlined as procedures under development. There is no general and/or rigid rule on what procedures are necessary for achieving the research objectives; the contextualizing interpretation of the discourses will determine the practice. The use of SDA as an analytical lens enabled us to explore the internal dimensions of the discourse, considering the social reality in which it is produced and providing an understanding of the culture of devotion through the senses and meanings that are constructed by the workers of the company we studied.

THE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF BUSINESS SCHOOLS BASED ON FACULTY ACTIVITIES: EXPLANATIONS FROM THE SOCIAL EXCHANGE THEORY

ABSTRACT The internationalization of higher education has gained in theoretical and empirical importance in recent decades. In this context, this article aims to describe and analyze the internationalization of business schools from the activities of their academics and based on the propositions defended by the Social Exchange Theory (SET). To achieve our goal we conducted 39 interviews with academics from business schools in the United States and Brazil, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard, Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV) and University of Sao Paulo (USP). We found that: (i) there are individual rewards that are not addressed by SET; (ii) there are benefits to third parties not covered by SET; (iii) certain non-rational choices are not provided by SET; and (iv) the condition of equivalence between costs and rewards provided by SET has its weaknesses. With these findings we add theoretical and empirical contributions to our theme.

RACIONALIDADE SUBSTANTIVA NA GESTÃO COMUNAL DE ECOVILAS

RESUMO Abordamos elementos de racionalidade substantiva na prática administrativa, em organizações produtivas, via atributos de gestão comunal em atividades de produção agrícola e de cuidado com a vida natural e humana em ecovilas. De inspiração etnográfica, visitamos quatro ecovilas durante 49 dias, acompanhando o cotidiano e relações de trabalho. Os resultados apontam que rotinas de gestão enfatizam a reprodução social sob princípios de autossuficiência. O compartilhamento da terra e dos meios de produção e a orientação ao cuidado coletivo compõem ambiente de segurança social e econômica a partir de laços comunais voluntariamente constituídos. Predominam processos de gestão com viés de racionalidade substantiva que interconectam demandas e militância ecológica a ações de mitigação da degradação ecológica e de valorização da diversidade da vida, caracterizando traços de práticas administrativas emancipatórias do ser humano na esfera produtiva em organizações privadas.

IS YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN READY FOR THE NEXT DISRUPTION? BUILDING RESILIENT CHAINS

ABSTRACT The ability to recover from disruptions is important for organizations and supply chains. Empirical data were used to investigate factors that affect supply chain recovery from disruptions, including collaboration, visibility, flexibility, analytical orientation, and supply chain risk management. A literature review was conducted to build an online questionnaire that was applied to manufacturing firms in Brazil. This work’s statistical method includes confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. Our results indicate that a package of resilience capabilities - collaboration, flexibility, visibility, and analytical orientation - positively affect supply chain resilience. Improving such capabilities, therefore, will allow supply chains to recover better from disruptions. It was also discovered, however, that supply chains do not recover from disruptions by way of supply chain risk management alone. Mutual impacts also exist between the group of resilience capabilities and supply chain risk management.

LICENÇAS DE EMISSÃO DE GASES DE EFEITO ESTUFA: TRANSPARÊNCIA DA INFORMAÇÃO FINANCEIRA

ABSTRACT This research analyzes the influence that the performance of GHG emissions has on the level of transparency in financial reporting. Content analysis of the financial statement notes allowed the level of transparency to be measured. The results suggest that the level of transparency in financial reporting is negatively related to the performance of GHG emissions when financial reports are prepared on the basis of the International Financial Reporting Standards. It was also concluded that more ‘good news’ is disclosed by companies when their GHG emissions’ performance reduces. This study complements previous literature about transparency in financial reporting, and the necessity to relate it to eco-efficiency measures to empower the decision-making process of stakeholders. The study also provides a reference for European accounting regulators on the behavior of companies with regard to this issue.

TRANSFORMATION OF FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS: GOVERNANCE BETWEEN THE CATHEDRAL AND BAZAAR

ABSTRACT It is common for community-based free software projects to be associated with an organizational scenario that resembles “a bazaar more than a cathedral,” and to differ from the traditional, or ‘bureaucratic’ way of organizing work. This paper analyzes the governance of these organizations from the perspective of their structure and control, considering the development trajectory of three community-based free software projects in Brazil. Results show that the constant need to produce modern technologies gives rise to external pressures that promote change - albeit temporary - in the governance of these projects, making them resemble a cathedral more than a bazaar. Governance does not follow a cycle of sequential improvement; it changes depending on the external organizational actors present, such as sponsors. This suggests the need for strategic and flexible governance to deal with the acquisition and allocation of organizational resources. Governance of the projects described here varies along a spectrum of (in)formality that allows both production models - cathedral or bazaar - to exist in the same organization at different periods.
