title: Anti-Corruption Enforcement and Organizations: A Narrative Review

description: ABSTRACT Context: in the administration literature, it is possible to identify several occurrences of the term enforcement, mainly related to studies of corruption. These mentions, however, are not uniform and often refer to different types of the phenomenon. In addition, they occur without connection to regulation studies, in which enforcement is a central concept. Objective: the objective of the present study is to identify the types of anti-corruption enforcement present in the administration literature in the light of the regulatory literature. Methods: we carried out a reflective thematic analysis on 31 articles in the administration area, selected in the Web of Knowledge database and published until 2017, in which corruption and enforcement appear in a related way. Results: at the end of the analysis, it was possible to identify four types of occurrence of the term in the literature: punitive, market, competitive, and cultural enforcement. These four types have unique characteristics in the light of the regulatory literature. Conclusions: the identification of types of anti-corruption enforcement contributes to differentiate the many ways in which the term is used in the literature. Furthermore, as a study of a typological nature, it offers a way to develop new theories, as well as to carry out empirical studies.

title: Rethinking Offshoring and International Marketing Strategies during the COVID-19 Pandemic

description: ABSTRACT This teaching case focuses on the national and international expansion of IGT Motors, a Brazilian company operating in the market for twenty years that has moved most of its production to China since 2010. Nearly after the company started searching for new markets abroad and adapted its internal and communication processes to comply with other countries’ preferences and regulations, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led top management to rethink its production and marketing strategies, specifically hit by involving China, country of origin of the virus. The case is about how small companies in the midst of a global expansion can deal with unexpected scenarios and emerging crisis, engaging students to reflect upon the initiatives that might be taken to overcome issues such as consumer animosity, but also to make the company less susceptible to similar situations in the future.

title: Facile/LigFerv: Hot Water in Three Seconds, Thirty Years of Entrepreneurial Process

description: ABSTRACT This teaching case aims to discuss an entrepreneurial process involving the trajectory of an innovative product over thirty years until culminating in a significant event in the change of the company’s business model in the midst of the crisis triggered by the pandemic of the new coronavirus. The case offers opportunities for discussing theories related to the entrepreneurial process - causation and effectuation logic. In addition, in the course of the recent trajectory, in which the company is selected for an acceleration program, a possible change in the business model emerges. Reported from the perspective of the founder, but also supported by materials from secondary sources, the case presents the trajectory of Facile. The teaching strategy consists in enabling the student to learn, first, about the entrepreneur’s decision-making and action, emulating transitions between the causation and effectuation logic throughout the case to explain such behavior. Subsequently, the case inquires about possible alternatives for changing the business model for the company after the acceleration program, in which students will be able to identify more suitable alternatives in the face of both the company’s skills and, not least, the pandemic that changed the behavior of customers and entrepreneurs.

title: Moeda Seeds: E-Commerce and Crypto Solutions for Development

description: ABSTRACT Blockchain technology has been explored as a tool to generate social impact. An example of it is Moeda Seeds, a Brazilian ecosystem operating to support financial inclusion and gender equality, two UN sustainable development goals, by facilitating access to microfinance for female entrepreneurs with social impact projects. Traditionally facing difficulties to access credit in the traditional banks, the selected Seed Projects are also granted with management support from Moeda’s ecosystem to optimize its entire chain efficiency and helping them to promote long-term sustainable practices for the local communities to thrive. This whole ecosystem is enabled by a blockchain-based payment and lending platform and Moeda’s proprietary digital tokens, which people around the world can promptly and transparently invest while participating in sustainable growth. This teaching case brings the COVID-19 crisis as background panorama and the founder Taynaah Reis in the center of an urgent strategic decision-making process. It covers the difficulties, variables, and alternatives presented to structure a contingency plan during that period of high uncertainty. It is extended by the teaching notes, covering: social cryptocurrencies, blockchain, digital platform, online sales, network externalities, and e-commerce ecosystem.

title: The Sea is Getting Rough: Analysis of Incremental Costs during the Pandemic

description: ABSTRACT This teaching case aims to understand how incremental cost analysis can be applied in decision-making. The case portrays a fishing company in the segment that suffered a disruption in demand from the international market as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its managers, who already acted to mitigate previous financial problems, now need to decide how to dispose of fish production during the pandemic. The case encourages the development of analytical competence on the impact of a rupture in demand, the identification of relevant costs for decision-making from an income statement, and managerial decision-making based on incremental cost analyzes. This case, based on interviews and estimated accounting data, was designed for undergraduate and graduate courses focused on costs in the areas of Business and Accounting.

title: Magalu Has It: Social, Political, and Market Strategies during COVID-19

description: ABSTRACT This teaching case presents the strategic positioning of the Magazine Luiza group (Magalu), represented by the director of institutional relations José Ribeiro and Luiza Helena Trajano, chairman of the Board of Directors, before and during COVID-19. The case’s objective is to promote a reflection on the business strategies adopted in times of crisis. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, Luiza and Magalu have engaged in discussions and practiced a series of strategic actions for the benefit of the group’s employees, small- and medium-sized companies, and those most affected by the pandemic. A few months after the first case, the instability was still perceived, it was still present, the number of infected and deaths rose and little was known about when the daily life would return to ‘normal.’ Many questions persisted about Magalu’s next steps. Thus, it was necessary to discuss how the group should position itself to ensure performance and reputation. The proposal is to make students put themselves in the place of José Ribeiro, director of institutional relations and the urgent affairs commission of Magalu, in order to encourage a debate about the market and non-market strategies that could be implemented.

title: Chocolates and ‘Legrias’: Dilemma of the Best Sales Channel

description: ABSTRACT This teaching case aims to understand the challenges between opening distribution channels and new products. The report involves a small Brazilian chocolate factory. It presents the structuring, production processes, brand concept, formation of sales prices, and the choice of distribution channels in COVID-19 times. The company faced challenges in the market for presenting products with low adherence to distribution channels, high costs and price, and an inadequate brand positioning, resulting in low sales. After repositioning itself with a new brand and price concept, the case raises the dilemma: What is the best distribution channel during the crisis period caused by COVID-19 for the newly restructured company? The pedagogical objectives are focused on the analysis of alternatives in the choice of distribution channels, considering the implementation challenges, the transaction costs for products at an early stage, and the scenario of uncertainties resulting from the pandemic, as well as the application of sales channel concepts and distribution. The case can be applied in undergraduate and MBA courses in the management area and is recommended to encourage students to reflect on the structure and challenges of implementing small entrepreneurs’ distribution channels.

title: “Not One Less”! Adaptation to the Home Office in Times of COVID-19

description: ABSTRACT This case describes the process of changing Chianca Softwares’ face-to-face work regime to the home office during government decrees caused by the new coronavirus pandemic. Chianca Softwares, a family company, which has been a player in the technology market in the state of Paraíba since 2003, went through a process of change in its governance model in 2012, and due to the improvements in its processes, it was awarded the Prêmio Média e Pequenas Empresas (MPE) of Sebrae PB in 2016. Given its adaptability, it faced the coronavirus crisis differently, overcame difficulties, and needed to reinvent itself to survive the ‘new normal.’ In this context, the case aims to lead students to reflect on the home office implementation process in Chianca, to identify the benefits and challenges of this teleworking regime and to think about ways to mitigate these challenges and create tools and practices to mobilize, integrate, and engage people in remote work. Thus, after restructuring its entire team to the new model of work in the home office, students are led to reflect on the dilemma that Chianca managers face due to the release of their face-to-face activities: stay in the home office regime or return to original patterns.

title: From Conexa to Docpass: The Competitive Environment of Telemedicine Platforms

description: ABSTRACT The case reports the trajectory of a telemedicine platform in Brazil. Conexa, a company that already operated with a telemedicine B2B model, took advantage of the regulatory change during the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and launched Docpass, a B2C platform. The pandemic not only brought about a change in legislation, but also provided a context that reduced cultural barriers to the adoption of such a service for both doctors and patients. The case is recommended for Strategy and Innovation disciplines, more specifically in sessions dedicated to business models based on platforms, when the following learning objectives are worked on: (a) diagnosis of COVID-19 effects in a telemedicine business by comparing before, during, and after the pandemic; (b) understanding the network effects present on the platforms and their reflections in terms of value; (c) understanding the competitive dynamics in a platform ecosystem.
