title: The paths of management scientific research in search of the lost relevance

description: Abstract The social relevance of research in Management has been the subject of several papers. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of the evolution of this reflexive current, offering a map with a historical trajectory of this discussion in the international field and seeking to foment debates in Brazil. To achieve our goal, we performed a citation network analysis on a basis containing 780 articles. We identified the top citers, the top cites, and the main path of the network, which showed the trajectory of development for the literature in the field since the 1960s. We noted that the distinct logics present in the discussion resulted in a plurality of approaches and perspectives. We conclude that the field is still evolving. However, the debates offer paths and solutions that may be incorporated into the research practices of business schools. Based on the findings of the research, we advocate a practical orientation for Brazilian research. Such orientation might be based on efforts for the development of research aimed at relevance, maintaining, however, the pursuit of scientific rigor.

title: Decisional logic and its implications for sustainability in organizations

description: Abstract The study and the comprehension of the main logic that guides the decision-making process incites the discussion about the existence or not of coherence in organizational actions. Based on this information, we propose that it will be possible to analyze whether organizational actions and decisions towards sustainable development consider environmental, social and economic factors simultaneously. This will make possible to anticipate, translate and revise their short, medium or long-term consequences in view of decision-making logic choices. Considering this context, this article was developed with the aim of broadening the debate and the understanding of how the decision-making logic adopted by organizational managers end up determining the actions that aim at corporate sustainability. Initially, this article presents and elaborates reflections on approaches and decision-making logic that may be subsidizing decisions about sustainability in organizations. From this, it presents a synthesis of a theoretical framework that proposes the combination between approaches and decision-making perspectives regarding sustainability as well as the implications of each combination suggested for management in organizations. From the suggested framework, we analyze and reflect on how decision-making logic ultimately determines positive or negative results for those organizations that declare themselves sustainable.

title: Francisco Beltrão’s (Paraná) agroecological fair: a participation project under the focus of the Community Social Psychology in the Latin American perspective?

description: Abstract The aim of this research was to understand the community participation of farmers/stallholders in the interventionist project called "Agroecological Fair" in Francisco Beltrão/PR, based on the concepts that underlie the Community Social Psychology in the Latin American perspective (PSCLA). Thus, the methodological approach adopted was a reflexive methodology of intervention, through participation in the daily life of the farmers/stallholders in a position denominated dialogical interaction. In this sense, we chose to work with oral and written sources focusing on the discursive position of the subject by means of his psychosocial participation versus discourses legitimized by official history. The results pointed out that the "Agroecological Fair" is considered, by the official discourse, as a proposal of social inclusion, of resistance to agribusiness. However, what was witnessed was a project structured from the perspective of the external agent.

title: Measurement of organizational learning: literature review and research agenda

description: Abstract This article presents the state of the art on measurement of organizational learning. The scales published in scientific articles in the ISI Web of Science, Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) sub-base and the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) databases were used as reference. The study maps the organizational learning scales and analyzes the conceptual bases of the different measures. We have identified 32 scales to measure the construct in the ISI Web of Science platform and 3 scales in SciELO. These scales belong to different domains and conceptual perspectives, and the most common domain is information and knowledge processing. The results point to a still embryonic research scenario, lack of conceptual convergence between the measures and methodological shortcomings in relation to the development of valid and reliable empirical measurement of organizational learning. From these results, the article presents a research agenda for the advancement in organizational learning measurement.

title: A decade of institutional work: context and opportunities for research

description: Abstract The theoretical approach underlying institutional work sustains the understanding of the process through which individuals create, maintain and disrupt institutions. The interest in this approach encouraged the publication of a special issue in the journal Organization Studies in 2013. Lawrence, Leca, and Zilber introduced that special issue with an analysis of this field of study pointing to three avenues to further develop the theoretical approach: a) implementation of methodologies with an emphasis on the individual’s experiences; b) development of reflexivity by individuals; and c) commitment to practical contributions. We recall their research to revise the contributions of institutional work and to evaluate how these three avenues have been followed in this field of study. We then suggest an updated research agenda based on phenomena observed in the Brazilian context. Among the contributions of this study, we highlight a) the characteristics of the field of study on institutional work (state-of-the-art); b) central and adjacent themes to institutional work (map of themes); and c) opportunities and trends to further develop research on institutional work.

title: Discursive-imagetic Sociological Analysis Methodology: possibilities for organizational studies

description: Abstract In the social and human sciences, theoretical discussions about images date back over four decades. No specific method of interpretation has yet emerged that deals directly with the visual level, in its different objects, without previously transcribing it, in descriptive form, so that it can then be analyzed textually or discursively. The objective of this study is to systematize a contextualized and integrative methodology of different levels of image approximation through the following steps: a) delimitation of the sociocultural context in which the discussion about image analysis emerges; b) narrative of the historicity of the practices of analysis of images originating in other sciences; c) establishment of dialogue between the methodology of the Sociological Discourse Analysis (SDA) with evaluation of possible new concept transfer from this perspective to the field of Sociological Image Analysis; d) construction of a hybrid methodology which integrates both methodologies as a Sociological Discursive-Imagetic Analysis.

title: Typifying Sharing Economy and Access Economy

description: Abstract This study aims to create a taxonomy capable of discriminating market models related to the concepts of access economy and sharing economy, seeking to identify sui generis aspects and proprieties of these two market practices. For such, a taxonomic analysis was developed based on the survey of the main ontological and theoretical aspects related to both concepts. As analytical categories, utilitarian (MILL, [1863] 2005) and anti-utilitarian (MAUSS, 2003) perspectives were used. Moreover, the construction of classifications and concepts was guided by a poststructuralist approach with central focus on relations, rather than an excessive emphasis on its constituent elements. As main results, we highlight that access economy consists of two models in which the utilitarian foundation predominates, which are: Models based on appfication and Disruptive Models. On the other hand, sharing economy is anchored on a broader anti-utilitarian foundation and is divided into Hybrid Models and Collaborative Models.

title: Ethnographing Historical Archives: Possible Ways to Research in Organization Studies

description: Abstract Our objective in this article is to discuss the contributions of archival ethnography as a method of historical research in management. We indicate that, while historical research is already relevant in the management research area, there is still a dilemma regarding the possibility of how to access the past and conduct research of this nature. In this context, ethnography associated with historical archives emerges as a legitimate source, loaded with voices and silences to be unveiled in the processes of reflection on time in the context of organizations. Thus, we discuss the characteristics and possibilities of the method of an archival ethnography, considering its multi-situated character in the proposed research strategy. Thus, we hope to foster the discussion about ethnographic immersion in historical archives and how this method can contribute to the several research areas in management and more specifically in Organization Studies.

title: Clusters and Factors that Form the Dimensions of Local Development

description: Abstract From the 1980s onwards, a more significant development occurred in places where industrial agglomerates were installed. Focusing on factors that form the dimensions of local development may reveal actions that help to define improvement strategies for the regions. This study shows how factors — by the relations/interactions between the actors participating in clusters — interfere in the local development, considering the environmental, cultural, economic, spatial, institutional, political, and social dimensions. We chose a qualitative study, multi cases and content analysis. We identified aspects of the scope of each dimension and revealed a universe of factors that interfere in the local development in the clusters. The main "catalysts" and potential disseminators of actions promoting development were the Cooperation and Collectivity factor and the institutional dimension.

title: From Kant to Popper: Reason and Critical Rationalism in Organization Studies

description: Abstract The objective of this essay is to revisit the theoretical construction of Critical Rationalism, starting from the philosophy of Kantian reason contained in the works Critique of pure reason and Critique of practical reason to discuss their respective influences over the work of Karl Popper. We aim, with this exercise, to shed light on the critical-rationalist approach in Organization Studies. Our argument is that Kantian thought has been conducive, on the one hand, to a negative philosophy that considers idealism prior notions and a priori knowledge fundamental to the creative conception of knowledge and, on the other hand, to a hypothetical-deductive science that seeks to bring us closer to truth through criticism. The basis of critical rationalism lies in the search for reason and transcendental truth. This is a call not only for the production of theories, but for dedication to test their validity – a problem that has not received much attention from researchers in the field of organization studies.
