title: Corporate Governance: A Major Factor in Shareholder Activism in Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Objective: This paper verified the relationship between shareholder activism and the elements of corporate governance and financial performance of selected Brazilian companies, articulating the agency theory and the voice concept from the exit, voice and loyalty theory. Methods: Activism was determined by a score constituted by the sum of its occurrences, observed in the minutes of the 2016 and 2017 general meetings of the 100 public companies in the sample. Governance and performance factors corresponded to 2015 and 2016, collected from Economática®. Quantile regressions (QR) were applied and the results were compared with ordinary least squares regressions (OLS). Results: there was a better adjustment of QR compared to the OLS method, suggesting that governance negatively affects activism and that its effects are heterogeneous in different parts of its distribution. Inconclusive results were obtained for performance variables. Robustness tests indicated better explanatory ability for activism observations in companies positioned in the last 20% of the activism indicator’s distribution. Conclusion: significant evidence of a relationship between activism and governance was found, which does not occur conclusively in relation to performance, revealing the predominance of the first variable.

title: Brazilian Secrets Hair Case

description: ABSTRACT This is a case for teaching focused on the internationalization process of Brazilian Secrets Hair (BSH), a company that has considered the world as its target market since its start, and is part of an ever-growing segment: the cosmetics industry. Upon understanding the company’s international expansion, the internationalization theories within the behavioral approach, such as the Uppsala theory, the network theory, the entrepreneurship perspective, and the effectuation logic, can be explored, answering questions related to market selection processes, entry mode choices, and global expansion strategy decisions. This case was based on primary and secondary data from a real company and was originally designed for international business classes of graduate courses.

title: Genesis, Impact, and Identity of the Journal of Contemporary Administration

description: ABSTRACT Context: just like people and organizations, journals also have an identity. Thus, thinking about the identity of a scientific journal leads, first of all, to an understanding of how its trajectory has shaped the journal’s preferences about what its members understand regarding science and academia. Second, journals refer to how they project themselves in the scientific community, both in terms of rules for judging what is considered valid as research and of the intensity and ways of impacts that they have over scientific knowledge and social reality. Objective: given this context, we seek, in this article, to recover distinctive elements of the Journal of Contemporary Administration (RAC) in its genesis, highlighting how this period left a lasting imprint on its identity. Method: we use historical texts and testimonies to support our arguments, triangulating the qualitative material with citation, reference, and scientific writing standards to highlight the identity and impact of RAC. Results: the analyzes show that RAC, since its genesis, has been differentiated by theoretical, methodological, and empirical rigor. This reflected, over time, its impact and centrality in the academic community. Conclusion: we argue that the effectiveness in the construction of RAC’s identity has led it to be the most influential journal in the administration area.

title: Palmas to E-Dinheiro! Clapping the Digital Evolution of a Local Social Currency

description: ABSTRACT This teaching case addresses the digitization of the local social currency Palmas, issued since the beginning of the years 2000 as a paper currency by Banco Palmas, to a new hybrid model of mobile payments and mobile money, named E-Dinheiro. This is a social development and financial inclusion venture in Brazil, having already great national and international recognition. By telling the history of the community bank and some of its initiatives, this case intends to demonstrate the innovation process in a social fintech, addressing issues such as governance, platform management, information technology, business models and strategy. However, as its business model spreads to other community banks, new challenges emerge to ensure the growth and longevity of the project.

title: Executives Compensation and Performance in Family and Non-Family Brazilian Companies

description: ABSTRACT Objective: in order to produce new insights for the knowledge about the effects of executive compensation on companies, relationship between performance (short-term) and investment policy (long-term) in Brazilian family and non-family companies listed in Brazil, Bolsa, Balcão (B3) are investigated. Methods: documentary procedure research was conducted with data from Economática® and company reports (Management Report, Reference Form and Explanatory Notes). The sample of 87 companies consists of 48 family and 39 non-family companies. Results: indicate that the short-term variable remuneration is related to the performance and investment policy of the companies, while the long-term variable remuneration was not significant. Short-term variable compensation reveals potential to maximize corporate performance, with a stronger impact on non-family companies. In view of the investment policy, short-term variable compensation presents a negative relation, but this effect is reverted to non-family companies. Conclusion: executive compensation can be a governance mechanism to align the interests of the parties, both in family and non-family companies. However, its precise dimensioning must consider the type of ownership and corporate management.

title: Effects of Budgetary Participation on Managerial Attitudes, Satisfaction, and Managerial Performance

description: ABSTRACT Objective: the purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of budget participation on management attitudes, job satisfaction, and managerial performance of controllers of Brazilian companies. Methodology: a descriptive, survey, and quantitative research was conducted from a sample of 316 individuals with budgetary responsibility. Results: the results indicated that budgetary participation directly and positively influences managerial attitudes toward budgeting, job satisfaction, and controllers’ performance in budget activities. Indirect relationships revealed that managerial attitudes toward budget and job satisfaction mediate the relationship between budgetary participation and managerial performance. It was found that budgetary participation positively influences the level of use of the budget for the purposes of performance evaluation and contributes to the development of budgetary knowledge of managers. Conclusion: the budgetary participation is responsible for important consequences on the attitudes and performance of these professionals. From a managerial point of view, it is essential to understand how the budgeting process can influence the attitudes, satisfaction, and performance of controllers in the budgeting context, since after this understanding, the managerial functions can be improved.

title: Cooperative Cooperation: Being, Doing, and Becoming

description: ABSTRACT Context: the consolidation of an economic system based on competition has not eliminated the importance of cooperation for life in society, or the continuing emergence of cooperative organizations, even in a hostile environment. Why do they continue to emerge? What are their possibilities? What happens when they are developed? Objective: to comprehend, in theoretical terms and on the basis of existing research, the cooperation phenomenon, especially that which inspires cooperative organizations. Methodology: the research employed a systemic and complex conception of the cooperation phenomenon and of its object of study, developing a qualitative, interpretative, and reflexive discussion according to three themes: being, doing, and becoming. Results: Cooperatives, as human organizations, go through an evolutionary process, suffering the inherent problems of administration and maintenance of democracy. To face the degenerative process, it is necessary to rethink cooperative management based on systemic theories and self-reinforcing cooperative identity. Conclusion: cooperation is fundamental for life in society, which explains the fact that cooperatives continue to emerge even in the midst of a hostile environment. Contrary to what has been disseminated, we are not only competitive, we are also cooperative and our knowledge needs to be urgently reconstructed.

title: Processes in Interorganizational Relationships to Develop Absorptive Capacity in Startups

description: ABSTRACT Objective: one of the factors related to dynamic capabilities is the absorptive capacity and until now, empirical work on capabilities has been conducted mainly with large companies and little is known about how they occur in startups. In this context, the aim of this work is to provide an understanding of how absorptive capacity occurs in startups, which maintains interorganizational relationships with large companies. Methods: the research used a qualitative multiple case study design and the investigation of seven startups constituted the study corpus. The data were analyzed using statistical analysis, content analysis, and business process analysis. Results: the interrelationship between startups and large companies in acceleration programs enhances the development of capabilities for startups because it facilitates access and assimilation of knowledge. On the other hand, knowledge transformation and exploitation help the modification of the structure, processes, and resources of startups to serve the large company, and the development of new products and services to the market occurs modestly and incrementally. Conclusions: the study highlights how the formal actions of corporate accelerator programs by large firms contribute to the development of absorptive capacity in startups.

title: The Facets of Women Commodification: Violence in the University Context in Administration

description: ABSTRACT Context: violence against women is present in the most diverse social groups, especially in Latin America, as it is one of the most violent regions against women, with high numbers of rapes, harassments, and murders because of gender. Objective: the objective of this study is to deepen the understanding of the way in which violent situations against women occurs in the Brazilian university context and its different facets of objectification and commodification. Methods: we undertook in-depth interviews with 15 female and 5 male university students from business courses. Results: our findings suggest the female ample objectification and commodification in the university context and their negative consequences, such as self-objectification in its personal and professional aspects demonstrated by reports of uncertainty regarding their bodies, in exercising the activities of leadership, and their choice of profession. There happens to be commodification of: (a) the women’s body; (b) their sexuality; (c) their morality; and finally (d) their feelings. Conclusion: we contribute theoretically to expand the knowledge about the relation between objectification and commodification. In empirical and managerial terms, we present insights for educational institutions to combat discrimination against women.
