La agregación de colecciones fotográficas en 'Flickr': un estudio exploratorio
Authors: Franganillo Jorge
Published: February 2021

Las plataformas sociales para almacenar y compartir imágenes han demostrado su utilidad como escaparate digital y como archivo duradero. Particularmente en Flickr, el depósito de fotografías más orientado a la creación de comunidad, los usuarios se preocupan por poner sus imágenes a disposición pública: las titulan, las describen y las agregan a grupos temáticos para hacerlas más fáciles de encontrar. A partir de una muestra de 400 instantáneas, que corresponden a otros tantos usuarios individuales, este estudio a pequeña escala explora los esfuerzos que las personas dedican a facilitar la recuperación y el descubrimiento de las fotografías personales que publican en Flickr.

Published: February 2021

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the North Carolina Local Food Council has strengthened its role as a cohesive and effective organization during a public-health crisis to share challenges, devise solutions, and build resilience across local food systems in North Carolina. The Council includes representatives from 21 organizations working across the state, as well as three representatives from regional local food councils. The Council’s response to the pandemic addressed three key areas of action: (1) Coordinate responses across multiple sectors; (2) Enhance collaboration across the food supply chain; and (3) Facilitate data collection and public messaging. This paper describes the positive impacts the Council has had across North Carolina on consumers and producers of local food as a result of this collaborative network and long-established relationships across the state. Now, more than ever, the relationships and collaborative efforts of statewide organizations and partners are needed. The Council’s crisis response has been strong because of the long-standing relationships of its members and its ability to share resources quickly, allowing it to work toward coordinated responses. The work of the North Carolina Local Food Council can serve as a model for other states that have state-level local food coun¬cils or want to develop them. In addition, the Council’s work demonstrates how collaborations among statewide partners can foster resilience within local food systems, particularly during a public health crisis.
The Early Impact of Government Financial Intervention Policies and Cultural Secrecy on Stock Market Returns During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Evidence From Developing Countries
Authors: Jamaani Fouad , Alidarous Manal , Al-Awadh Abdullah
Published: February 2021

This paper examines the role of government financial intervention policies and cultural secrecy on equity market returns during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in developing countries’ stock markets. We employ global data including 939 observations across 32 developing countries (23 emerging and 9 frontier stock markets) from December 1 to April 28, 2020. Our results show that the above-mentioned policies that set out to curb the COVID-19 pandemic succeed in increasing equity returns. It reflects investors’ improved perceptions of governments’ commitment to stabilizing the economy during the pandemic in developing, emerging, and frontier equity markets. Results show that investors in all equity markets discount differences in cultural secrecy in processing market information when investing in stock markets. We find that equity market investors in developing and emerging countries truly react negatively to the rise in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases reported. Yet, we find that COVID-19 wields no influence on equity market returns in frontier equity markets. This presents frontier equity markets as a safe-haven investment destination during a global health outbreak. Our work helps investors during such events to identify the best and worst investment destinations in developing, emerging, and frontier stock markets. At the same time, it is important to understand the critical roles of: firstly, the introduced government financial intervention policies; and secondly, the daily growth in reported COVID-19 cases on stock market returns.

Self-identity formation becomes increasingly challenging for students as they are exposed to different norms in the school environment. Education, language, and religion are crucial in the process of self-identity formation. Therefore, this study aims to explore how English language learning and the school environment influence Islamic self-identity formation among students in selected religious secondary schools in Terengganu, Malaysia. The study employed a qualitative approach in which 90 religious secondary school students in the State of Terengganu were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Focus group interviews were used as a data-gathering instrument. The students were divided across different sessions to ease the process of data collection. The data were transcribed and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. The study found that English language learning does not influence the students’ Islamic self-identity formation negatively. Instead, certain morals such as respect, self-esteem, and cooperation, are instilled in the students’ self-identity. This study provides evidence on the students’ ability to construct Islamic self-identity despite the challenges of second language learning.

Authors: Lincoln Jay , Mohammadnezhad Masoud , Khan Sabiha
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND: Globally, family planning is one of the most important public health issues in both developed and developing countries due to high unmet needs.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the level of knowledge, attitudes and practice (KAP) towards family planning among women of reproductive age in Suva, Fiji.

METHODS: The study applies a cross-sectional quantitative method using a self-administered questionnaire to collect data. Using random sampling, a sample of 325 women was used for the study and they were sought from three health clinics in Suva, Fiji. The questionnaire was administered to the respondents who met the inclusion criteria and they provided information that mostly involved rating the different issues and identifying their level of KAP. This data was analyzed using the statistics program SPSS version 25.

RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 31.53 (±7.35) years. A majority of the participants (64.6%) belonged to a Christian church while 65.2% belonged to iTaukei ethnic group. Approximately half of them (45.6%) had a high level of knowledge while 53.5% had moderate knowledge with only 0.9% reporting that they had poor knowledge. In terms of attitudes, 54.2% of the participants had high level or positive attitudes towards family planning with only a small proportion of 0.3% had low level or poor attitudes. In terms of practice, a majority of the participants (65.9%) had medium level of practice towards family planning while 24.6% showed a poor level with 9.5% having a high or good level of practice towards family planning.

CONCLUSIONS: This study identified that women had medium level of knowledge and practice towards family planning, but their attitude was relatively high. Using behavioral change models such as health belief model (HBM) that focus on perceived benefits and barriers may help to promote KAP towards family planning among Fijian women.
Benefits and Limitations of the Balanced Scorecard Method when Evaluating Organizational Results in Education, Development & TrainingHttp://Dx.Doi.Org/10.5585/Riae.V10i1.1695
Authors: Silva Alexandre Laval , Abbad Gardênia Da Silva
Published: February 2021

This is an exploratory study, aiming to examine the adequacy of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) method, insofar as to evaluate the activities of Education, Training and Development (ETD). This article is structured as follows: after reviewing the background body of literature on the theme; we present the BSC methodology; its main benefits and limitations; a background literature review on ETD evaluation; and then, we address a case study on the BSC implementation within an organization. In conclusion, the main benefit of using the BSC is the possibility of obtaining a strategic alignment between training and organizational goals. On the other hand, BSC’s main limitation is the lack of scientific literature to back up the cause-and-effect relationship between ETD actions and the BSC’s perspectives. Finally, we present an agenda to tackle future research.

Authors: Almeida Ivana Carneiro , Antonialli Luiz Marcelo , Gomes Amiralva Ferraz
Published: February 2021

The objective of the present study is to assess the strategic behavior of female entrepreneurs. The study was based on Miles and Snow’s (1978) taxonomy of strategic types to identify these strategic forms. The methodology was a quantitative research, with a questionnaire structured in 75 small businesses owned and managed by women. Choosing women as the object of this study is mainly due to the fact that the insertion of women in the productive system constitutes a privileged factor for analyzing the transformations happening in the feminine world during these modern days. From comparisons of statistical variables reflecting competitive strategy, we conclude that the four strategic types proposed by Miles and Snow exist: prospector, analyzer, defender and reactor. Among which, the most common strategic profile was the analyzer.

Researchers often face difficulties when identifying the principal texts and authors in a field of knowledge of interest to them, especially in areas that are not consolidated, as in the case of business clusters. This study’s objective is to identify the most important authors of recent papers on business clusters, in terms of production volume and number of citations, and which international authors play a major influence on the national research in this area. The study was conceived with a sample of the literature of interest constituted by the works presented in the EnANPAD and Semead events, between 1997 and 2008. The bibliometric technique was adopted - a quantitative and statistical method to measure the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge -. Our findings demonstrate that Toledo, Szafir-Goldstein and Câmara are the most published national authors. The researchers having the largest number of citations are Casarotto Filho, Pires, Amato Neto, Toledo and Zaccarelli. International authors possessing a higher number of citations are Michael Porter and others related to the field of economics. The study suggests that the national literature concerned with clusters is more disperse than in other branches of knowledge.

The present work consists on the analysis of the relationship structure among the Inns located in “Serra do Cipó”, Minas Gerais, Brazil. It aims to describe how this structure determines the the cooperation and the relational learning. In order to develop the analysis, it was verified the existence, the intensity, the potentiality and the relation of the following constructs: actuation networks, cooperation, relational learning and network fragmentation. The data were collected by means of the application of a questionnaire and were treated with the software Ucinet 6.0. It had the support of the theory of analysis of social networks. It was also used techniques of analysis of statistical regression and techniques of descriptive statistics. The earlier results showed the presence of all the analyzed constructs, with a emphasis on actuation networks that reached the highest intensity, followed successively by the relational learning and network fragmentation. The cooperation was the construct that presented the lowest intensity, however, with highest cohesion. Based in the tests of the proposed hypothetical model, it can be verify the significance of positive relation among the constructs: actuation networks and cooperation, cooperation and relational learning. The relation among relational learning and network fragmentation also were significant but with a negative relation. From the conclusions, it was possible to confirm the initial premise of the performance in networking among enterprises studied, verify the presence of cooperation in the structure of relationships and verify the existence of relational learning.

This article presents a study of technological development that occurs in association with learning processes in SME of fruits growers. The goal of the article is to answer the following question: How SME of fruits growers conduct their operations to fit the strategy of export? To seek answers, we performed a qualitative multi-case study, four companies being studied. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. To ensure the quality of fruits exports, there is an international certification called GLOBALGAP, which, after having obtained makes it possible to overcome barriers of entry for products in other countries. Three of the four companies studied are certified. Throughout the certification process, companies had to promote learning and intense changes in their daily work. These changes involved the use of new technologies, such as mode and type of application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. With the learning process occurred as the acquisition of new knowledge about agricultural management techniques more suitable to produce fruit of better quality, awareness of the need for greater care in personal hygiene and first aid training. Data analysis found that, to carry out the export strategy, companies had to seek development and improvement of its manpower, with the secondary gain improvement of production processes, including fruits that are directed to Brazilian market, which also showed greater improvement in quality.

It is our intention, through this work, to contribute to the understanding of the influence of chaos theory on the formation of organizational strategies in the dynamic and complex environment in which organizations are embedded. In this sense, we present a theoretical review, leveraged by a dialectical epistemology, in which we propose to show some attributes of chaos theory and theoretical assumptions to be considered in the context of different areas of organizational strategy, with the goal of trying to elucidate and approximate the analytical characteristics of both theories and make evident how chaos theory can contribute to and/or influence the formation of business strategies.
Comparison of Value Generation Strategies Between Planned and Emerging Strategies: A Study Based on Games of Companies
Authors: Garcez Marcos Paixão , Sauaia Antonio Carlos Aidar
Published: February 2021

This study aims to analyze the economic results of the planned strategies compared to the emergent strategies in decision-making. The theoretical background emphasizes some aspects, like the strategy concept evolution throughout the time, the typology of strategies proposed by Mintzberg, the comparison between competition and cooperation, and the use of a business simulator as a tool for business research purposes. As a controlled experiment, the EGS simulator (Management Exercise Simulated) allowed comparison of the economic results of the two decision-making situations. The findings show that when planned strategies were implemented without corrections, the value generated (expressed by the internal rate of return IRR = 1.51%) was greater than in the case of adjusted emerging strategies in three periods (IRR= 1.40%). Comparing the two situations, it is possible to find a value added advantage of 7.86% in favor of the planned strategies, indicating the competition might be responsible for the value decreasing in real environment. Analyzing the performance degrees reached by the competitors, the ranking results show that there is no association between planned strategy and emerging strategies. Although the business simulators can be considered weak approximations for the business environment, the experiment contributed new evidence of the competition rise in oligopoly industries and a new methodological approach for studying this phenomenon.
Lowering Investment Risk at the Bop Using Network Innovation Fundación pro Vivienda Social (Fpvs) Case
Authors: Lassaga Marìa Griselda , Lanfranchi Gabriel
Published: February 2021

More than 2 million people from the outskirts of the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Region live in neighborhoods with restricted access to education, credit, healthcare, and basic services (Goytia and Lanfranchi, 2009). With nearly 4 billion people now living in poverty world wide, this situation is not unique to Buenos Aires. The size of this “Base of the Pyramid” (BOP) economic market makes it impossible to ignore in the 21st century (Prahalad and Hart, 2002). Unfortunately however, most private businesses have overlooked this population and thereby denied it the opportunity to participate in the global economy. This article describes how Fundación Pro Vivienda Social (FPVS) seeks to rectify this situation by facilitating economic engagement with the BOP. This case study, based on the testimony and experiences of participants, details the effort to create financially sustainable business opportunities for both the BOP and private sector. Specifically, this study deals with FPVS‟s role as a facilitator between businesses and poor communities in doing business with the Base of the Pyramid, (BOP). Testimony from this real case study in addition to the experience of the researchers and current business literature was the chosen path. As a longitudinal study, the case looks at how perceptions and relationships change over time. Based on the Developing Business Network Model, this article looked at the co-creation of value for all the parties within a sustainable framework. Specifically, the FPVS case deals with the foundation‟s leverage function in developing mutually beneficial infrastructure solutions. Since 1995, FPVS has focused on housing improvements and infrastructure development. Through its projects, FPVS has demonstrated that working with low-income communities is not high-risk, but rather good business. The foundation believes that by organizing communities around mobilizing events related to standard of living improvements, it can create the social capital necessary to break the poverty cycle (Lanfranchi 2005). In the areas where it operates, FPVS has developed strategies to organize community demand for goods and services and match it with suppliers. These types of strategies have been described by Granovette (1983) as „solving structural holes‟. An important aspect of this study is that it illustrates the necessity of transcending traditional business models when developing successful enterprises with the BOP. It also highlights how the FPVS approach is consistent with recent advances in BOP literature (Prahalad, 2006). For example, the report shows how FPVS strategies incorporate the concepts of business management innovations (Kandachar, 2008), business networks (Hakansson and Snehota, 1995), and radical transactivity (Hart and Simanis, 2005; Simanis and Hart, 2008). Most significantly, this study demonstrates how to create a sustainable and mutually beneficial economic exchange between private businesses and the BOP.

Running a business in the current context is a complex task. Changes and market requirements are becoming more dynamic. Given this reality it is necessary to simulate possible scenarios. Studies of scenario simulation have emerged to enable organizations a guidance on this new reality. Using a methodology based on critical variables, the simulation of scenarios extends the capability of organizations visualize their future strategic actions in order to achieve their goals. Through the theoretical framework, this study aimed to study this methodology, gathering information and presenting the main concepts related to the subject to, in the case study, apply them in the fund sources of FUNTEF-PR, Campus Pato Branco. The study found that a scenario rarely happens exactly as it was simulated, but it reduces the future organizational uncertainties. It is shown as a tool able to assist the organization in defining its strategy, at the same time,allowing a more flexible and appropriate position to deal with the uncertainty and the new, making the future less doubtful.

This article aims to analyze the process of internationalization of the Brazilian pulp and paper. This analysis has an economic bias, basing on the model of internationalization of Eclectic Paradigm of Dunning (1980) in order to identify the internationalization strategies, as well as the key drivers that have enabled reach new markets. We adopted a qualitative methodology, developed through a case study in the company Suzano, a Brazilian company, a global leader in the pulp and paper industry, with a strong presence in the international market. The data were obtained from literature searches, statistics, press releases and official documents of the company. For the treatment of these was used to pattern matching techniques, which enabled contrast them with the theory selected. The results revealed that Suzano differentiated adopted guidelines for the marketing of paper and pulp. The paper is intended primarily for the domestic market, whereas most of the pulp produced is intended to international trade. The company went international for having, according to the Eclectic Paradigm, the advantages of ownership and internalization over their competitors. The strategies used consists in finding markets (market seeking), search efficiency (efficiency seeking) and search for strategic assets (strategic asset seeking). We conclude that the theory is Eclectic Paradigm in an appropriate tool for analyzing the internationalization process of the pulp and paper industries.

Creating Sustainable Competitive Advantage: A Corporate Socialenvironmental Responsibility in the Light of the Resource-Based View
Authors: Balbino Débora Prazeres
Published: February 2021

From the perspective of a greater concern with respect to corporate social and environmental aspects viewed in society, the Corporate Social-Environmental Responsibility (CSER) is understood as a new management perspective to be used, no longer restricted to meet the aspirations of profit shareholders, but seeks include in your analysis other stakeholders such as society and the environment. According to the Resource-Based View (RBV), the CSER is regarded as an organizational capacity, because it involves a set of resources and depending on how it is integrated with business planning, could be a source of Sustainable Competitive Advantage (SCA). The objective of the study is to analyze the likely social and environmental responsibility as a sustainable competitive advantage for an organization in light of the Resource-Based View . From the discussion held to theoretical essay, we identified some aspects of CSER that can be elevated to the level of a SCA, namely: the generation of a good reputation and organizational image, and corporate citizenship in favor of the practice of CSER. It is appropriate therefore to carry out empirical studies, qualitative and/or quantitative, that can confirm and extend the arguments of this discussion, from the development of constructs, development of measurement instruments and proposing models, on CSER.
Cooperation Between Research Groups on Strategy in Brazil
Authors: Watanabe Eluiza Alberto , Gomes Adalmir Oliveira , Hoffmann Valmir Emil
Published: February 2021

The purpose of this study was to identify how cooperation between research groups on strategy in Brazil occurs. Cooperation is defined as the share of scientific publications among group members. Thus, was considered 474 publications, in the period 2005 to 2011, from researchers and students of 21 scientific research groups. Based on the social networks analysis, the networks formed by research groups and by 57 other research institutions were characterized. The results indicate the existence of sparse networks, with a predominance of weak ties and center-periphery structure type. The central groups are the ones who publish more with international institutions, which seems to indicate that these groups obtain both benefits associated with the central position, and benefits for the connection to peripheral actors. The central groups are those who publish the most, suggesting that connectivity tends to potentially increase the scientific production on strategy, a phenomenon that has been observed in others areas of knowledge.

Authors: Dalmoro Marlon , Fensterseifer Jaime Evaldo , Wegner Douglas
Published: February 2021

The internationalization has become an imperative for survival of many Brazilian industrial sectors. In the wine industry, the growth of competition with imported wines in last years has led companies in the industry to seek new markets abroad. In this way, the formation of interorganizational networks could stimulate the internationalization process by generating collective resources. This paper analyzes the development of resources within a network of interorganizational wine industry and the influence of these resources in the process of internationalization of companies. Therefore, we carried out an exploratory study in a network called Wines of Brasil. The results show that the network has contributed to the generation of resources, such as the reputation of Brazilian wine, market knowledge and access to information among participants. The network´ resources were denominate ´good club´. However, the appropriation of these resources does not occur homogeneously, showing the existence of asymmetries, due to specific organizational architectures of network members (i.e. size, resource base and absorptive capacity of complementary businesses).

O objetivo deste estudo é identificar conceitos e aplicações da abordagem narrativa em diferentes contextos de pesquisa. Em particular, a partir da investigação de experiências recentes com o uso de contar histórias, este estudo identificou uma estrutura de análise da estratégia praticada. Esta estrutura é baseada na utilização do relatório de histórias para identificar a diferença entre a intenção estratégica e a estratégia praticada. O uso de histórias como um veículo para transmitir mensagens e informações de retorno permite que a estratégia de terminação para ser melhor compreendida. A partir da perspectiva de um ambiente de organização complexa, destinado a estratégia será diferente da estratégia praticada. Tal lacuna contém um paralelismo entre o tempo da história singular, o que aconteceu com a realização da intenção estratégica eo tempo do processo de desenvolvimento estratégico. Neste período de tempo, ações individuais acontecer que formam a história oral, coerente ou não com a intenção de objetivos estratégicos. Este artigo pretende contribuir com agregação de valor por histórias que relatam, em diferentes resoluções de problemas e contextos organizacionais, como uma forma de análise da estratégia praticada. A análise proposta mostra-se a partir da aplicação de contar histórias, valorizado como uma abordagem de pesquisa organizacional para a identificação da evolução e do desempenho da estratégia. Sugere-se que esta análise dinâmica pode criar uma capacidade estratégica representado pela prossecução do futuro imaginado por uma disciplina sistemática de compreender as ações nas atividades organizacionais.

Published: February 2021

The knowledge management (KM) and intellectual capital (IC) have been topics of great relevance in academia and business. However, the literature suggests that there is a research gap that need to be better understood deriving from the difficulties encountered by researchers and companies in manage, measure and control the intangible assets. The purpose of this article is to propose a theoretical-conceptual model to support the development of a control system to IC and KM. Accordingly it is discussed the design of the management control system (MCS) and previous studies that supports the proposed model are analyzed. The study expands the understanding on the focal topic and helps to fill that research gap, showing that: (1) an adequate design of the MCS can contribute to the externalizing of part of the tacit knowledge, transforming it into explicit knowledge through acculturation of the members of the company; (2) the organizational culture helps to systematize and disseminate knowledge in the company; (3) the cultural control can help to integrate the knowledge, manage it and turn it into IC; and (4) the MCS can collaborate in the individual knowledge socialization process and in the collective knowledge institutionalization aiming to create value for companies.

The Information Technology (IT) sector is regarded as strategic for national economy. In Brazil, this sector is formed mostly of micro and small businesses. This article aims at understanding how does the strategic management process occurs in a small IT company, according to the schools of strategy and the strategy-as-practice approach. The method applied was a single case study of a small IT company, located in Rio Grande do Sul. The analyzed data revealed that the company adopts an informal strategic management centered on its directors, which may be related to the entrepreneurial school of strategy. However, data also indicate the presence of features of other schools of strategy along the company trajectory. We analyzed the strategy as social practice at the strategic level and also at the tactical level of the organization, through the guidance of managers, their interactions with customers and suppliers, their decision-making processes, among other practices related to everyday life. The results of the article shed light on the process of strategic management in micro and small IT companies, generating insights that can be useful for managers of similar companies.
