Authors: Silva Júnior Antonio De Souza , Santos Claudemir Inácio dos , Feitosa Marcos Gilson Gomes , Vidal Raphaela Maria de Castro e Silva
Published: February 2021

The formulation of organizational strategy earns prominence as a tool since what is done through repetition and social acceptance is practicing strategy or strategizing. Thus, organizational strategy is a situated activity, socially constructed by individuals’ interacting, connected with the context in which it happens. In this context, Whittington (2006) points out the importance of third consultants or partners in the process of setting up the strategy by restructuring, transferring, or introducing new practices. Given this, this qualitative study aims to analyze the role of the consultant in the formation of organizational strategy, based on studies of strategy as practice. Results show the process of strategy consulting cannot be seen as applying a pre-established methodology, but should help the clients reflect on their practice, so that they, independently, could become able to diagnose and solve their own problems. To this end, the consultant needs to study the experiences of professionals and understand the actions that constitute reality in making strategy for the process of formulating, implementing and communicating. The consultant should develop several strategic activities, organizational contexts legitimized by extra or intra-organizational, for the professionals of the contracting organization to reflect on their practice and adapt while exploiting their diversity.

Authors: Lima Reginaldo De Jesus Carvalho , Barbosa Allan Claudius Queiroz , Baeta Adelaide Maria Coelho , Giroletti Domingos Antônio
Published: February 2021

This article discusses the profile of the remaining textile industry workforce as a strategic factor for the building of competencies in the companies of the sector. It investigates the impact of the cultural and identitarian traits developed by the workforce within century-old organizations on productive dynamics. The discussion is justified in a precarious working context seeking competitive differentials. The theoretical framework is supported by a reflexive axis that gives first priority to the combination of complementary topics. This article is based on exploratory and qualitative research developed through a multiple case methodology (Yin, 2005) covering textile factions and cotton mills from the micro-regions of Curvelo and Diamantina, Minas Gerais State. The body of the work included fifty-one operating and directive-level respondents and the data were collected through interviews between October 2009 and March 2010. The NVIVO software and Content Analysis were used for data processing based on categories and frequency counting (Bardin, 1979). The results indicate that from a structural viewpoint, the retention of a qualified workforce, both technically and skillfully, was an alternative to the shaping of the workforce and the stabilization of the productive process. Concerning the relational and formative dimensions, the study concluded that learning developed fundamentally by means of experienced tutors. Competence building resulted from some deliberate strategy consisting of social and historical aspects within the work environment.

Entrepreneurship and Strategy the Perspective of Logic Effectuation
Authors: Pelogio Emanuelly Alves , Rocha Luiz Célio Souza , Machado Hilka Vier , Añez Miguel Eduardo Moreno
Published: February 2021

Entrepreneurs are part of a dynamic and uncertain environment involving multiple decisions, which are interdependent and simultaneous. However, the action of the entrepreneur has been widely questioned. One of the main questions made about this entrepreneur’s strategy is that it isn’t consistently planned or prescribed in a deterministic way, the way that a lot of research in entrepreneurship and strategy seem to emphasize. Thus, this paper aims to conduct a theoretical construct designed to expose and discuss the topic entrepreneurship and strategy from the perspective of Effectuation logic, which is a alternative decision making model to the classic decision making model. Therefore, we carried out a bibliographic, exploratory and with qualitative analysis approach study. We conclude that there is a need to consider other approaches to understand the action of the entrepreneur in a non deterministic and nonlinear sight.

Analysis of the Most Cited Publications from Strategic Management Journal Between 2001 and 2010
Authors: Cardoso André Luís Janzkovski , Silva Wesley Vieira da , Silva Eduardo Damião da , Del Corso Jansen Maia
Published: February 2021

Based on the previous studies and a selection of the articles published in the SMJ between the years 2001 and 2010 and the most cited ones at the same period (2001-2010), the goal of this research is to identify emerging and classical authors understanding their contributions to the development of the area and relate them to the evolution of current theories on strategy through quantitative and qualitative analyses. After surveying on ISI Web of Knowledge database, 60 articles were selected with more than 100 citations and bibliometric techniques applied to data processing by factor analysis and multidimensional scaling. The articles were analyzed qualitatively in order to better understand the contributions to the development of the field of studies in strategy. Through the analysis of co-citations it was possible to identify that some classical authors, gradually, are no longer mentioned and other authors begin to stand out. The results corroborate previous studies (RAMOS-RODRIGUES; RUIZ-NAVARRO, 2004; NERUR et al., 2008; SERRA et al., 2012) confirming the prevalence of articles related to RBV, but there are evidences that issues such as dynamic capabilities, the knowledge-based view and organizational learning are also highlighted. Using the quantitative and qualitative analyzes allied to previous studies seeks to present a framework of theories on strategy over the years (1980-2010) in order to outline an analysis of current evolutionary theory and its contributors.
Strategy in the 20th Century: Explanations from History
Authors: Conke Leonardo Silveira
Published: February 2021

In this essay, we argue that an historical perspective helps to understand some of the strategic choices made by organizations. More specifically, the purpose here is to describe the great influence of historical events (related to economy, politics, technological advancement etc.) on the creation, acceptance, spreading and / or establishment of the strategic theories and tools developed since the beginning of the 20th century. Texts that usually discuss management and history outline only the Industrial Revolution or the transition from feudalism to capitalism, underestimating other historical forces that offer additional explanations to the evolution of strategic thinking. As a result of an extensive bibliographical research, we were able to identify four periods where the strategic theories developed reveal suitable responses to the challenges created by the environment: in the first one (1900-1938), strategy is concerned with organization and control of business activities, resembling the ideas developed by Scientific Administration; in the second period (1939-1964), strategic planning is formalized and the area is broadly recognized; the next decades (1965-1989) are characterized by competition and uncertainty, making strategy focus on problems emerged from the outside; finally, on the turn of the century (1990-2010), the unlimited information availability enhances the need for strategists’ conceptual and practical knowledge. Also, as a final contribution, we suggest two possible trends to the future of strategy.

Published: February 2021

Thinking marketing strategies from a resource-based perspective (Barney, 1991), proposing assets as either tangible, organizational and human, and from Constantin and Luch’s vision (1994), where strategic resources can be tanbigle or intangible, internal or external to the firm, raises a research approach on Marketing and Finance. According to Srivastava, Shervani and Fahey (1998) there are 3 market assets types, which generate firm value. Firm value can be measured by discounted cashflow, compromising marketing activities with value generation forcasts (Anderson, 1982; Day, Fahey, 1988; Doyle, 2000; Rust et al., 2004a). The economic value of marketing strategies and marketing metrics are calling strategy researchers’ and marketing managers’ attention, making clear the need for building a bridge able to articulate marketing and finance form a strategic perspective. This article proposes an analytical framework based on different scientific approaches envolving risk and return promoted by marketing strategies and points out advances concerning both methodological approaches and marketing strategies and its impact on firm metrics and value, usgin Srinivasan and Hanssens (2009) as a start point.

Analysis of Barriers that Affect the Transformation of Family Farmer Into a Rural Entrepreneur in Brazilian Context
Authors: Tomei Patricia Amelia , Lima Daniela Arantes Alves
Published: February 2021

Despite importance of family agriculture, until the mid 90's, the Brazilian farmers had little or no access to credit and the existing public policies often do not meet the needs of this population. In 1996, the Brazilian government created the PRONAF - Program of Familiar Agriculture, first rural credit program designed exclusively for family farmers (FF) that despite numerous qualities, is facing challenges related to socio-cultural and psychosocial characteristics of farmers who do not always can incorporate the behaviors needed to be rural entrepreneurs (RE) in an industry that increasingly demand for innovation and development. This is the main objective of this study: to analyze the barriers faced by family farmers (FF) that affect its transformation into a rural entrepreneur (RR). To study these two groups, we interviewed and applied a structured questionnaire to a convenience sample, non-probabilistic, selected by the criterion of typicality of fourteen farmers who started their business in Southern Brazil. For these The analysis showed that the barriers to rural entrepreneurship were associated with lack of leadership and ability to take risks, and emphasized the importance of the family, social networks and formal education in the development of FF. We conclude that the FF can’t be regarded as typical Schumpeterian entrepreneurs, but some points have become critical to the implementation of public policies: a contingency approach; prioritize the targeting of resources to more entrepreneurial profiles; promote the objective and subjective evaluations of the results of resource allocation; strengthen training programs, management education and business incubators.

Published: February 2021

This study aims to investigate the influence of corporate governance in financial efficiency of Brazilian companies listed on the BOVESPA. Quantitative-descriptive, 284 companies were analyzed data from 2008 to 2013 to check the evolution over the years of financial efficiency and, in the year 2013 to estimate the influence of corporate governance. We evaluated the corporate governance through the creation of a governance index (IGOV), proposed by Silveira (2004), for the dimensions access to information content of public information, structure of the board of directors and ownership and control structure. The calculation of the financial efficiency of the companies was carried out by using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) and to his analysis, he used the social networking analysis technique with 6.0 UNCINET software and the statistical package STATA 11.0. As a result it was found that the financial efficiency of the banks, over the six years analyzed, remained stable and higher than the companies, both in relation to the equivalent percentage of companies with maximum efficiency, as compared to the overall rate of efficiency. It was found that the corporate governance influences the financial performance of companies negatively in the size structure of the board and positively by the ownership structure. The results for banks showed the positive influence of access to information and negative for the information content and the structure of the board. This study helps to identify the dimensions of corporate governance that influence the efficiency of companies and banks and also cooperates with the identification of effective institutions over six years.

Authors: Beuren Ilse Maria , Marcello Idair Edson
Published: February 2021

The goal of the study is to verify whether the performance measures are mediating variables between the importance of strategic resources and performance evaluation in Brazilian companies. Specifically, the study investigates the perceptions of managers regarding the importance of traditional and nontraditional performance measures and human capital, structural and physical strategic resources in Brazilian companies. In the study is replicated the research conducted by Widener (2006) in North American companies. Thus, a survey was conducted with the managers of the companies listed in BMFBovespa at levels 1 and 2 of Corporate Governance. Descriptive statistics and factor analysis were applied in data analysis. The results show that managers attribute importance to various performance measures, but the descriptive statistics shows that the greatest importance is attributed to traditional return and financial measures. Among the strategic resources, human capital stands as the most important resource for companies analyzed, followed by structural capital and physical capital. From the relations established in the research, it is concluded that the performance measures are mediating variables between the importance of strategic resources and performance evaluation, in the perception of managers, which is consistent with the search results of Widener (2006) in North American companies.

The research method was bibliometric and data collection took place on the ISI Web of Science platform. According to the results, the publication of articles on strategy and sustainability has increased considerably in recent years. The results indicate that three intellectual bases have influenced the study of strategy and sustainability: the first deals with the relation of sustainability and competitiveness; The second is related to the resources / capabilities for the competitive advantage with sustainability; The third, the influence of the environment on the competitive advantage considering sustainability. A set of future studies based on the results is suggested.
Building trust in a guarantee fund in a challenging institutional environment
Authors: Lanz Luciano Quinto , Tomei Patricia Amelia
Published: February 2021

Difficult access to credit is a major obstacle to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) survival, especially in emerging countries, affecting their competitiveness. Lack of guarantees is a main reason why banks do not lend to MSMEs. Guarantee schemes provide partial credit guarantees, but often fail to win trust of banks and enterprises. This study analyzes the process of building trust between the Fundo Garantidor para Investimentos (Investment Guarantee Fund, FGI), created in 2009, and banks in Brazil. This trust was hampered by the failure of public guarantee funds created in the 1990’s. This created a challenging institutional environment to the new fund. The methodology employed was a case study, based on a qualitative approach with document analysis, semi-structured interviews and descriptive statistics. The analysis used models for building and repairing trust in inter-organizational relations and international benchmark for governance and effectiveness of guarantee schemes. The analysis showed that the FGI used other emerging countries and developed countries experience to construct adequate governance and succeeded in establishing trust with the banks. The results show that by 2017, 26 banks contract more than 32,000 operations worth 1.9 billion dollars, with additionalities comparable to the international benchmark.

Published: February 2021

Organizations depend on their ability to formulate, implement and evaluate strategies effectively in order to make better use of their resources and capabilities to achieve and maintain competitive advantage. Regarding micro and small enterprises (MSE), which mortality levels are significant, those capacities are fundamental conditions for their survival and growth. Considering the lack of a more robust method of measuring strategic capability for this type of companies, this study proposes a Strategic Capability Index (SCI) for MSE. The research population was composed of companies located in the state of Ceará, Brazil, from a sample of 196 companies. By means of the application of a second order Confirmatory Factorial Analysis, it was possible to propose the factored index in five dimensions: Strategic Approach; Strategic Tools; Strategic Relations; Analysis of Environments; Strategic Processes. The SCI for MSE in the organizations analyzed in Ceará was low, implying the relative lack of competitiveness of these organizations.

Published: February 2021

This article aims to identify the concepts of Competitive Intelligence according to the approach of the main authors referenced to characterize their conceptual currents and their research areas. In order to do so, a bibliometric study was carried out in IC, from 2005 to 2015, during which time the CI began to establish itself as the main information provider in organizations. The data were collected in the international journals of the Web of Science. The compiled articles were processed through the Bibexcel Software, generating a matrix of citations and co-citations, which processed, resulted in exploratory factorial analysis, allowing to relate the main classical or seminal authors in the theme, as well as the main currents that they defend. It is the main conclusion that all the approaches of the identified chains, be it in marketing, knowledge management, business, technology, among others, allow organizations a better strategic structuring. It was also possible to identify the current authors who continue to publish, based on their research, on the classic themes as well as the evolutions of the conceptual approaches. As for the theoretical contribution, it is emphasized that in fact, there is little research on the theoretical foundations of competitive intelligence, revealing important areas such as maturity of use of intelligence in organizations and theory of intelligence processes.
