title: Influence of Environmental Innovation on Corporate Sustainability in Latin American Companies

description: Abstract The objective of this research is to analyze the influence of environmental innovation on corporate sustainability in the main capital markets in Latin America from the perspective of the Resource-Based View. To this end, with a sample of 202 Latin American companies, data from Thomson Reuters® were collected from 2012 to 2019. The dependent variable corporate sustainability was measured by the ESG score and the explanatory variable was represented by Environmental Innovation. The estimation was performed using robust random effects regression, with panel data. The results showed that environmental innovation explains corporate sustainability when measured by the overall score of the environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) dimensions. Nevertheless, when analyzing each dimension individually, environmental innovation is only explained by corporate governance. A possible justification is the intrinsic characteristics of governance, since it is inserted in a context focused on transparency before the market, responsibility, resource allocation, corporate sustainability, strategic management, as well as the protection of stakeholder rights. In this aspect, the findings contribute to the academic debate on the relevance of environmental innovation for sustainable development, especially for the survival of companies operating in highly competitive markets. Thus, the ability to innovate becomes an essential demand for public companies, and analyzing corporate sustainability standards and environmental innovation actions can provide valuable information about the performance of companies.

title: The Aging Process for Women in Leadership Positions: The Imminence of Symbolic Death and Rebirth

description: Abstract This article explores how women in leadership positions experience and develop ways to deal with their aging process in organizations in Brazil. As women have reached these top positions relatively recently, studies on the careers of younger women still dominate the literature. For this reason, the literature on aging women who hold corporate leadership positions is still scarce. Based on empirical data obtained from 58 in-depth interviews based on grounded theory, this research showed that women experience their aging process as symbolic physical, social, and professional deaths and face an age glass ceiling due to their age. However, they also create new life stories based on a redefinition of work and/or a search for a new career, a phenomenon we call ‘symbolic rebirth.’ This paper proposes concepts related to how women see their aging process, uncovering the dynamics and implications of aging for women. There seems to be no room to aging in corporations, even for women in leadership positions. Despite the innumerable changes that have taken place in recent decades, this organizational space is still associated with the male gender, and ageism persists even for women who are in top-ranking executive positions in corporations.

title: Epistemological Possibilities of Public Administration Theories: from Paradigms to Epistemic Matrices

description: Abstract This study aims to contribute to the literature on public administration by conducting epistemological research on the main trends in the field, updating them with the Circle of Epistemic Matrices proposed by Paes de Paula (2016). For this, (a) it starts from the essay written by Andion (2012), which carried out a critical study on the trajectory of the field of public administration in Brazil and the different theoretical lines that compose it, based on the paradigms model built by Burrell and Morgan (1979); and (b) it analyzes the main lines that compose the field of public administration, called State-centric, Pluralist, New Public Administration, New Public Service, and Digital Era Governance, in light of the Circle of Epistemic Matrices proposed by Paes de Paula. As results, it confirms that functionalist sociological approaches have a strong influence on the field of public administration. Greater dialogue is suggested between the lines that compose the field and the development of new matrix propositions – giving special attention to the digital transformation driven by Digital Era Governance and by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) health crisis – taking into account that the instrumental rational logic is insufficient to explain the phenomena of the reality, even if it is needed for streamlining public goods and interests. Finally, reflections are presented along with an agenda for future research.

title: Phronesis , Moral Judgment, and Ethical Decision Making: Experiences of Public Managers in the Area of Emergency Management

description: Abstract The purpose of this article is to investigate how phronesis manifests itself in moral judgment based on the experience of public managers in situations of ethical decisions in the area of emergency management (risk and disaster management). We conducted a literature review on phronesis as a virtue of “acting well.” As methodological procedures guided by a phenomenological epistemology and qualitative approach, an in-depth interview, non-participant observation, and document analysis were conducted. The discussion of data was organized into three sections: context and circumstances in the area of emergency management, experience and tacit knowledge of managers, and cognitive, affective, and reflexive composition of phronesis . Some elements of phronesis are perceptible and contribute to the ethical decision-making process in view of the possibilities of limiting moral judgment, such as the context and contingency circumstances of emergencies, the affective dimension such as empathy, the need for mediation between instrumental aspects and the will to act with compassion, counseling as a reflective element, and memory and learning from past experiences. The conclusion is that, when conditions for moral judgment are not favorable and/or there are limiting factors - such as excess of technical and/or bureaucratic issues, a context of insecurity, and a purpose of protecting human life -, phronesis may help to develop an enlightened knowledge for the individual exposed to reviews, education and clarification about the social, political, and organizational context to which she or he belongs.

title: Economies of agglomeration, mass public transport systems type BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) and geographical location decisions of companies

description: Abstract The literature associated with Agglomeration Economies has traditionally dealt with the relationship between the economic and the urban development of cities, including enterprises as object of study. This article seeks to review the literature on the possible causal relationship between capital flows generated by the location decisions of companies and the supply of BRT-type transport services. Given the topic of the doctoral work that generated this review, these proposals are analyzed in comparison with the results of the stated research, finding particularities for the city of Bogotá that could complement the traditional postulates of the literature, allowing this fact to be proposed as an argument to remark the need to carry out empirical validation studies that allow discussing and complementing the theoretical body available in this regard. As a main contribution, the identification of some theoretical and empirical verification gaps on the analysis and verification of the possible effects of investments in BRT-type mass public transport systems on strategic decisions regarding the geographical location of companies is highlighted. that this article tries to contribute to.

title: Understanding the Deliberation Practice in a Controllership from the Performative Judgement Perspective

description: Abstract This research analyzed deliberation practice in a controllership, mainly the decision to replace a given budgetary practice by another, in light of performative judgements, in a big-sized company in São Paulo City, between 2017 and 2020. The research followed the interpretative design, and adopted the research-action strategy. Participatory observation, in-depth interviews (initial research stage) and documental analyses were the techniques applied to find evidences. The field zooming in and zooming out movements were used to describe the elements featuring this practice, by switching the theoretical lens to better understand the whole and the elements composing it. Data analysis followed the framework proposed by Bispo (2015). We have found four fragments of practices encompassing the material arrangements where deliberation takes place: financial management practice, accounting management practice, expense management practice and information technology management practice. Different from the accountability management mainstream, which assumes rationality driven by economic aims, we have observed that deliberation in the assessed controllership is boosted by the “rationality of becoming” as permanent flow. Such a rationality is collectively built due to practical wisdom and to the ability of making practical decisions that form wisdom and practical judgements. It simultaneously shows its fragility in comparison to what is expected from the economic paradigm, as well as its richness, by encompassing the pluralism and dynamics of the context it is inserted in.

title: Dynamic modeling of urban expansion using cellular automata: the case of Fortaleza-CE

description: Abstract Forecasts of the behaviour of changes that occur in land use are indispensable for adequate urban planning, indicating areas more prone to human occupation. Thus, the study aims to predict the urban expansion of the city of Fortaleza, located in northeastern Brazil, using a dynamic model that combines cellular automata with the Markov Chains (CA-Markov). It was developed through three steps: data acquisition and processing; spatialization of data; and, dynamic spatial modelling. The Markovian transition matrix provided the percentage of changes from one class to another to the simulation algorithm. Actual land use input data for the years 2009 and 2017 showed a transition of 26.50% from vegetated to urbanized areas. The validation of the model showed excellent results (fuzzy similarity index greater than 0.8) to perform future simulations (2020 to 2025). According to forecasts, in 2025, of the 297.10 km² of urbanized and vegetated area, 82.43% will be urbanized, and only 17.57% will be vegetated. The simulation model can be fed by changes that happen within the predicted period, included in the simulation as dynamic variables, obtaining a simulation compatible with these changes.
