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.

title: Our Calendar Stopped! The Organizational Change at UFPB due to COVID-19

description: ABSTRACT This teaching case aims to analyze the context of the Federal University of Paraíba, which experiences the impacts of social isolation due to COVID-19, especially in conducting undergraduate classes, considering that the activities face-to-face were suspended. The case presents the facts related to the possibility of implementing a supplementary calendar, based on the concept of remote emergency teaching. Because of this scenario, the Pro-Rectory of Graduation managers needed to plan carefully to manage the uncertainties and resistance to changes that such a proposal would represent, mainly because there were no models to be based on since practically all public HEIs have suspended graduation classes. The case raises a significant dilemma: in the face of the challenges of implementing a supplementary remote calendar, is it better to follow or step back? The pedagogical objectives of this teaching case involve: analyzing the impact of COVID-19 on organizational behavior; discuss aspects related to the implementation of organizational changes; identify the use of data for decision-making and support for organizational change; and making decisions in the face of managerial dilemmas. Its analysis can be done by undergraduate students, in Administration and Public Management courses.

title: Pandemic Fights in a Network! COVID-19 Challenges in Northeast Brazil

description: ABSTRACT With the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, it became imperative to adopt emergency measures to prevent a crisis in the health system in northeastern Brazil. In this context, Miguel Bastos, manager of Sistema Indústria, a class entity in the northeastern industrial sector, dedicated all his efforts to coordinate an emerging network of institutions involved in research, development, innovation, manufacturing, and maintenance of products demanded by a health system. Thus, this teaching case aims to allow students to understand the context of a cooperation network created to meet the needs of the health sector in combating the pandemic of COVID-19. Given the difficulties inherent in a leadership process involving seven different institutions, how should the protagonist organize this network to meet the expected demands? The case has as target audience undergraduate Business Administration students, as well as lato sensu graduate courses, in subjects such as Business Strategy, Cooperation Networks, Public-Private Partnerships, among others that address the themes proposed in the present case. It is noteworthy that authors collected data from participant observation, secondary data, and interviews. The characters are real, but the names are fictitious.

title: Rafael and the Sorela Vehicles Case: The Pandemic as an Enhancer of Job Crafting

description: ABSTRACT The current teaching case describes a story about how a manager of a car dealer company finds in job crafting practices the mechanisms to face the challenges imposed by a severe socio-economic crisis such as the one created by COVID-19. With the pandemic, the manager gains autonomy on his job, which allows him to implement changes of different dimensions: structural changes (in tasks and processes), relational changes (concerning work relationships), and cognitive changes (regarding perception of one’s work/role). Moreover, the case addresses generation Y as an antecedent of job crafting, as well as the consequences of such practices. At individual level, the case allows students to discuss engagement with the job and the positive impact to in-role performance. At the organizational level, the case discusses the bottom-up approach as an alternative to traditional job design approach. As so, the case was originally developed for disciplines such as Organizational Behavior or Human Resources as part of Business Management graduate courses.

title: Integrated Information Circle: The Challenge of Integrating the Civil and Military Police

description: ABSTRACT Context: the case narrates the creation of the Integrated Information Circle, a pilot project that took place in an area limited to the Rocinha community, led by managers of the civil and military police, which was carried out through a partnership between the 11th DP - Rocinha and the 28th UPP - Rocinha. This action sought to develop protocols for the exchange of information in a continuous, effective, and, above all, institutionalized manner between local police agencies. However, despite the good results achieved, the initiative has not been consolidated. Methodology: the information was collected from secondary data and interviews from the managers who participated in the process - Dr. Gabriel Ferrando, chief of the 11th DP, and Major Felipe Carvalho Barreto, then intelligence superintendent of the Pacifying Police Coordination (CPP). Objectives: To discuss how the civil and military police organize and act. Results: development of analyzes on aspects related to the organization and culture of police institutions about the theme of integration. Conclusion: the case allows us to understand the limits and potential of integration between the police, based on the discussion about the possible reasons why the Integrated Information Circle has been discontinued.

title: Earnings Persistence and Market Reaction to Earnings in the International Insurance Industry

description: ABSTRACT Objective: this paper analyses the earnings persistence and market reaction to earnings in the international insurance industry. Methods: the analysis considers a sample of 307 listed international insurance companies from 2004 to 2019 and assesses several quantitative empirical models and estimations, including panel fixed effects and pooled OLS. Results: results indicate that operating cash flows are highly and strongly persistent when compared to the accruals component of earnings and that reported earnings are informative about companies’ performance. However, these findings vary significantly across insurance sub-segments. Additionally, the association between earnings and returns is significantly affected by specific companies’ performances in the sense that market agents review their expectation in a higher level when a reduction in earnings (bad news) is reported. Results also show that market risk patterns are positively associated with earnings response coefficient, suggesting a numerator effect of risk. Conclusions: overall, this paper provides evidence that economic analysis and scrutiny of earnings persistence and the market reaction to earnings announcements in insurance industry, and its insurance sub-segments, can provide superior assessment of future outcomes by investors, regulators, and academics.

title: Surety Bond in Infrastructure in Brazil: Transaction Costs and Agency Theory Perspectives

description: ABSTRACT Context: infrastructure projects assume the use of intensive capital and the participation of several actors, where the institutional environment influences their respective contractual arrangements. A financial instrument for project governance is surety bond (SB), whose purpose is to ensure compliance with the contracted object. However, research involving SB in the context of emerging countries such as Brazil is still incipient. Objective: this study aims to understand the use of SB in Brazil and proposes a conceptual model for analyzing transactions. It contributes to the literature by investigating the relationship between the actors and transactions involved in SB using the transaction costs theory and agency theory perspectives. Methods: this study adopts a qualitative methodology using primary data collected with 10 in-depth semi-structured interviews with market professionals with substantial experience in SB. In addition, it uses secondary data based on debate and a specific lecture on the topic involving the reality and the use of SB. Results: the findings indicate that the agency problem and the high transaction costs in Brazil prevent the development of this risk coverage market, giving rise to targeted public policies. Conclusion: the proposed conceptual model reflects the various specific transactions in the use of SB, the underlying phenomena and the validation of propositions related to market failures, and the institutional environment’s influence.
