title: Socioeconomic stratification criteria and classification tools in Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to compare the conceptual and methodological features of five classification algorithms used to produce socioeconomic stratifications of the Brazilian society, and to measure misclassification tradeoffs between them. We applied these five algorithms to classify the 55,970 households covered in the survey of household budgets (Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares [POF]) conducted by Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística [IBGE]). Our results allow us to conclude that maximum-likelihood classifier had the best performance in explaining Brazilian families' consumption patterns across the socioeconomic strata, followed by the adaptive Bayesian, simplified ABEP, old ABEP, and SAE algorithms. The first three classifiers rely on the concept of permanent income, while the first two incorporate an important innovation: classifying a household by considering its geographic location and family composition, the latter defined by the number of adults and minors living in the household. These new classifiers allow researchers and marketers to segment and study markets based on a valid, unbiased, and reliable criterion of socioeconomic stratification.

title: Analytical orientation human management: A path to responsibilization

description: ABSTRACT The present paper proposes an approach to human management that privileges conversational spaces in the organization through verbalization, which results in symbolization, socialization and responsibilization of individuals in the organization groups. Our special concern is responsibilization, emphasizing that participation through conversation generates commitment, inclusion and a sense of belonging in individuals. In the cases studied, we have privileged the analytical method, understood as the method of discourse analysis, which underlies the attitude of the professional who grounds his work on listening, analyzing and intervening. The research findings allow the set out of a path to corporate responsibility.

title: VISUAL ART AND REGULATORY FIT MESSAGES ON CONSUMER EVALUATIONS

description: ABSTRACT In this study, we demonstrate that the art infusion effect, in which the presence of visual art causes a positive impact on consumers' perceptions of products and advertising messages, might have a moderation effect on regulatory fit and non-fit messages. We investigate the impact of visual art on advertisement evaluations in regulatory (non-) fit conditions. Regulatory focus theory suggests that consumers rely on their motivational focus (prevention vs. promotion) for their evaluations and decisions. Usually, consumers prefer products that fit with their personal motivational focus. In the present study, the results of three experiments indicate that using visual art with a promotion or prevention fit message is recommended, while non-art images increase message persuasiveness when non-fit messages are presented. Therefore, not all information compatible with the consumer's motivational focus are best evaluated. When non-art images are presented, non-fit messages might be more persuasive.

title: IMPROVING FINANCIAL INCLUSION: TOWARDS A CRITICAL FINANCIAL EDUCATION FRAMEWORK

description: ABSTRACT Empirical research suggests that financial inclusion initiatives - such as facilitating access to financial resources or providing microcredit - are alone not enough to lower socioeconomic disparities. In this article, we adopt a critical stance as a guide for our empirical investigation. Our aim is to propose a financial education framework, tailored to low-income micro-entrepreneurs, that embraces new information and communication technologies (ICTs) and seeks to improve financial inclusion and social emancipation. This empirical study was conducted in an Amazonian municipality in Brazil where recent access to ICTs has brought about important and varied socioeconomic changes. Results show that ICT-supported and tailored critical financial education can play a dual role: on the one hand, access to financial education might decrease the effects of generative mechanisms on global/local tensions, triggered by standardized ICT applications; on the other hand, such access might increase financial inclusion and social transformation through the integration of guiding principles into financial education programs.

title: Reanalyzing the competitiveness in football leagues: Accumulated points difference

description: ABSTRACT The aim of the paper is to elaborate an alternative measure to compare football leagues based on Accumulated Points Difference (APD). The sample includes eight seasons (2006-2007 to 2013-2014) from nine football leagues: German Bundesliga, Campeonato Brasileiro (Brazil), La Liga BBVA (Spain), French Ligue 1, Dutch Eredivise, English Premier League, Italian Serie A, Portuguese Primeira Liga and Russian Premier League. We have employed the ANOVA one way with Tukey post hoc to compare the results. We have confirmed the robustness of the model comparing it with two traditional measures: Herfindahl Index of Competitive Balance (HICB) and C4 Index of Competitive Balance (C4ICB). As a result, we have found that the Brazilian League was the most balanced tournament in this period and there are no statistical differences between European leagues.

title: TRAJECTORIES OF TRANSNATIONAL MOBILIZATION FOR INDIGENOUS RIGHTS IN BRAZIL

description: ABSTRACT While research on episodes of transnational activism has advanced substantially in recent years, our knowledge about how long-term trajectories of cross-border activism affect the formation of national social movements and their capacity to influence domestic institutional change is still limited. This paper addresses this gap by analyzing transnational mobilization around the political and economic rights of indigenous groups in Brazil. We show that early pathways of transnational mobilization generated a set of ideational, organizational and institutional outcomes that enabled previously marginalized actors to shape the directions of institutional change within the country at the time of the Brazilian democratic transition. We identify three initially uncoordinated trajectories of transnational mobilization taking place in the late 1960s and 1970s and show how they converged over time through two social mechanisms - institutional cross-referencing and social networking - to form an increasingly tightly knit inter-sectoral social movement that was capable of influencing institution-building during the period of the National Constitutional Assembly (1978-1988). We conclude with a discussion of the linkages between transnational activism and national social movement formation.

title: VALUE CREATION AND CAPTURE IN BUYER-SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIPS: A NEW PERSPECTIVE

description: ABSTRACT This research paper develops and tests a new model for value creation and capture in buyer-supplier relationships. In addition to including both value creation and capture in the same model, value creation is unraveled by the identification of its sources, both intrinsic and relational. Intrinsic value is the set of benefits derived from resources belonging to one party that can be captured by another party if there is a relationship between them, even if this relationship is non-collaborative. Relational value encompasses the mutual benefits that are generated as the collaboration between buyer and supplier increases. The model was tested using a survey of 127 dyads (buyer and supplier). The results indicated that both sides benefit from the total value created by the relationship, but the degree of value capture varies. The value perceived by the supplier is greater than that perceived by the buyer, which consequently encourages the former to boost its efforts even further to ensure that the relationship continues.

title: An approach to industrial facility layout evaluation using a performance index

description: ABSTRACT A good deal of literature dealing with the facility layout problem has focused on greenfield layout design. However, little attention has been paid to the facility re-layout problem. Generally, methods applied to plant layout evaluation research, only make sense if several different layout alternatives are compared. Consequently, these methods tend to have limited value in evaluating existing plant layouts or in supporting the need for a re-layout. With this in mind, this work suggests an indicator that allows one to evaluate an existing plant's layout performance by identifying where it stands in relation to the ideal and the non-ideal scenarios. The application of this particular indicator can help justify the pertinence or irrelevance of facility re-layout decisions. The method is illustrated in a case study carried out on a company in the metal components processing industry, located in the city of Guayaquil.

title: FRANCHISOR-FRANCHISEE RELATIONSHIP QUALITY: TIME OF RELATIONSHIP AND PERFORMANCE

description: ABSTRACT Franchise literature disputes how the relationship between franchisors and franchisees develops over time. Traditional lifecycle theory views relationships following an ascendant curve, in which relationship quality and performance strengthen over time. Another perspective better reflects the peculiarities of the franchisor-franchisee relationship, indicating that relationship quality in franchise systems follows a U-shaped curve. There is also limited research on the moderating effect of time on the relationship between relational variables and outcomes. This study sheds light on the influence of relationship duration on relationship quality and financial performance in the franchisee-franchisor relationship. Using a self-report survey from a sample of 342 franchisees, mean and regression analyses are conducted to test relationships. Results confirm the time effect on franchisor-franchisee relationship quality and performance, but the hypothesized shape of relationship phases is only partially confirmed. Moreover, time has a positive moderating effect on the impact of relationship quality on financial performance.

title: Predictors of store brand purchase intention: A study in the emerging market

description: ABSTRACT The present study investigates predictors of store brand purchase intention and the interrelations between them. It deepens the research about purchase intention formation using a modelling of constructs that have not been simultaneously examined in previous studies: store image, perceived risk, store brand image, and attitude towards the store brand. To test the hypotheses from the literature on the subject, we collected data through a survey with 1,938 supermarket customers in Brazil. Our results, found by means of structural equation modeling using PLS, demonstrate the existence of significant relationships between: (1) perceived risk and store brand image; (2) store image and store brand image; (3) store brand image and attitude; and (4) between attitude and purchase intention. We conclude that perceived risk and store image are strong predictors of store brand image and attitude, thereby forming a robust model of prediction of store brand purchase intention and providing a contribution to the literature.

title: DOES THE INSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENT AFFECT CSR DISCLOSURE? THE ROLE OF GOVERNANCE

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to analyze whether the institutional environment has a direct effect on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reporting practices or if this effect is explained by the influence of the institutional environment on Corporate Governance (CG) mechanisms. To conduct our study, we focused on two countries that reflect different types of institutional environment: relation-based (Brazil) and rule-based (Spain). Based on our results, we can affirm that the institutional environment influences CG mechanisms (Board Size and Reference Shareholder) as well as companies' CSR disclosure. Additionally, the CG mechanisms affected by the institutional environment also help to explain differences in CSR reporting practices. As relation-based societies evolve into rules-based environments, the information disclosed about CSR becomes more complex due to a strengthening of CG mechanisms.
