title: The New Post-Professional Advocacy and Modernization of Major Brazilian Law Firms

description: Socioeconomic changes that gave rise to flexible forms of job organization also changed Professional Systems, initiating the phase of post-professionalism, represented by the adoption of a market-oriented logic. The aim of this paper is to understand and analyze these changes in Brazilian law firms using a qualitative research. We interviewed twenty-two professionals engaged in six major law firms in the country. For data analysis we used the thematic content analysis technique. The results indicate that the offices are undergoing a process of incorporating management practices of capitalist enterprises that compete in the market: flexible hierarchy, multidisciplinary teams, job cells and specialized professionals are adopting a business logic. We conclude that large law firms are increasingly beginning to experience a break with the traditional values of the profession, although old practices are still part of these organizations' daily lives.

title: Institutionalization of Environmental Sustainability Knowledge in Research-Oriented Graduate Management Programs

description: This study analyzed the process of institutionalization and legitimization of knowledge in research-oriented (stricto sensu) management programs in the field of environmental sustainability by proposing and applying a theoretical model based on Berger and Luckmann. Berger and Luckmann’s sociology of knowledge, a theoretical interpretation of phenomena that develop in society, is used as the basis for the construction of a research model for institutionalization and legitimization processes. The research presents different methodological approaches that are inherently complementary, with a predominance of quantitative techniques, characterizing social network analysis as a mixed-methods approach. The research shows that collaborative networks formed by stricto sensu management programs contribute to the institutionalization and legitimization of knowledge in environmental sustainability. Bibliometrics and data mining techniques identified which authors have published works that are institutionalized and legitimized. The results show that the model developed by Berger and Luckmann allows the identification of authors and institutions that have institutionalized or legitimized the production of knowledge in environmental sustainability, something that can be applied in other scientific fields.

title: Distributed Resources and Organizational Skills in Public Health

description: This study seeks to aid understanding of the difficulties that organizations encounter when their units are geographically distributed and they seek to effectively distribute resources in accordance with geographical and demographic conditions. This study specifically looks at those segments of the population that require health services. The case study in question is representative of the decisions regarding municipal healthcare policies concerning the distribution of resources in terms of staff, material and equipment. It serves as a reference for the inherent difficulties of these decisions. The base of Geographic Information System (GIS) enables spatial and demographic analyses and their relationship with the data regarding the management of the required resources and skills. Analysis using an adapted Resource-Based View (RBV) allows evaluation of the internal decisions within the system in question. The results show the limits of the shared or isolated evaluation of the spatial distribution of resources, which are compromised by the decisions involved in these two approaches. In this sense, the concomitant evaluation of the distributed resources linked to the GIS results in an important analysis element, as it enables the identification of strategic resources that adequately satisfy the purposes of Curitiba's Municipal Health Units, in the state of Paraná.

title: Stakeholder Management in Nonprofit and Religious Hospital Fundraising

description: Religious and non-profit hospitals constitute a vital part of Brazil's healthcare system. Due the nature of this activity, these hospitals have a vast plurality of stakeholders and a complex process of value creation. This study explores the potential association between stakeholder management and success in voluntary donations. The theme under question is located in the area of organizational behavior and almost unexplored in the literature, so we opted for a qualitative and exploratory research. Based on documentary sources and semi-structured interviews with board chairmen, we developed a comparative study of two cases (hospitals). The theoretical framework crosses the fundamentals of Stakeholder Theory with those of Resource Dependency Theory. The study revealed that in both cases stakeholder management is still incipient and poorly structured, and consequently could not conclusively answer the research question. However, this research provides important clarification on the issue and opens new possibilities for research.

title: Dynamic Capabilities: What Are They and How to Identify Them?

description: The phenomenon of dynamic capabilities in organizations is of great interest to researchers in various fields of knowledge in the area of administration, including strategic management, entrepreneurship, marketing, human resource management, operations management, and even information systems. Since Teece, Pisano and Shuen's (1997) original proposal, several theorists have made efforts at developing the dynamic capabilities concept. However, analysis of these efforts shows that there is a myriad of definitions, some quite similar, and there is definite controversy about the conditioning elements and components of dynamic capabilities. Note that the evolution of understanding of what is dynamic capability is associated with two main aspects: components and mechanisms by which a company develops dynamic capabilities. This article proposes an integrative model of the various definitions given by the authors surveyed, in which the determinants of the existence of dynamic capabilities include the set of behaviors, skills, routines, processes and governance mechanisms of learning and knowledge focused on change and innovation. These elements are developed along an organizational trajectory, through a cumulative process of knowledge and learning.

title: Banking Competition: Comparison of Public and Private Bank Behavior

description: Public banks are an important part of the banking market in Brazil and abroad, and they have been used to implement strategies furthering political and social goals. Although one of the main arguments for the existence of public banks is to encourage competition, this role remains controversial in literature. This paper analyzes the Brazilian banking market during the period from 2000 to 2011, calculating the level of competition between private and public banks, and their reactions to the measures adopted by the Brazilian government during the world crisis of 2008, when the government adopted a policy of publicly influencing public banks to increase loan approvals and reduce interest rates. From results obtained through three stage least squares estimation of the Lerner index, we found that public banks exhibit behavior closer to perfect competition than private banks, even though they can exert some market power. We also observed a change in competitive behavior after the 2008 crisis for both public and private banks, which displayed an increased in pro-competitive behavior.

title: Two Decades of Research on Strategic Alliances: Analysis of Citations, Co-citations and Themes Researched

description: Research on strategic alliances has a long tradition in management studies. Strategic alliances have been investigated using multiple theoretical lenses from RBV to agency and transaction cost, and diverse contexts, from the semiconductor to airline industries. In this study we scrutinize the extant strategic alliance research in thirty-one top-ranked business/management journals, over a twenty-year period, from 1993 to 2012. In a sample of 866 articles we conducted citation and co-citation analyses employing social network techniques and factor analysis to identify research themes and make sense of the stock of accumulated knowledge and theoretical trends. We were able to identify some shifts in research over time, namely from a focus on performance and theoretical emphasis on transaction cost theory and governance concerns, moving to a learning and knowledge transfer approach, social networks and collaboration. This study provides the foundations over which future research may develop to fill conceptual and empirical gaps.

title: Synthesis of Main Criteria, Methods and Issues of Multicriteria Supplier Selection

description: The purpose of this paper is to identify the main criteria considered in supplier selection, the main methods used and sub-problems in a multicriteria context. The tasks of identifying the best suppliers of new products or services or even for evaluating the performance of an existing supplier is essential to supply chain management (SCM). In order to perform these tasks properly, and considering the multicriteria nature of supplier selection, it is necessary to include an approach using aggregation of criteria, primarily chosen depending on the objectives of the decision, types of criteria to be used and the rationality of the decision maker. In order to achieve this objective this research used a systematic literature review of articles published in ISI Web of Knowledge and Scopus for the period 2001-2012 following the protocol proposed by Cronin, Ryan and Coughlan (2008). In addition to synthesizing knowledge about the subject, the article highlights the key criteria, methods and sub-problems of selection of suppliers, contributing by identifying the aspects that should be developed in future studies. It also provides managers with existing approaches to making decisions about supplier selection in a systematic way.

title: Evaluating Supply Chain Management: A Methodology Based on a Theoretical Model

description: Despite the increasing interest in supply chain management (SCM) by researchers and practitioners, there is still a lack of academic literature concerning topics such as methodologies to guide and support SCM evaluation. Most developed methodologies have been provided by consulting companies and are restricted in their publication and use. This article presents a methodology for evaluating companies’ degree of adherence to a SCM conceptual model. The methodology is based on Cooper, Lambert and Pagh’s original contribution and involves analysis of eleven referential axes established from key business processes, horizontal structures, and initiatives & practices. We analyze the applicability of the proposed model based on findings from interviews with experts - academics and practitioners - as well as from case studies of three focal firms and their supply chains. In general terms, the methodology can be considered a diagnostic instrument that allows companies to evaluate their maturity regarding SCM practices. From this diagnosis, firms can identify and implement activities to improve degree of adherence to the reference model and achieve SCM benefits. The methodology aims to contribute to SCM theory development. It is an initial, but structured, reference for translating a theoretical approach into practical aspects.
