title: Social embeddedness in supply chain and its paradoxical impact on operation performance

description: This paper aims to analyze structural and relational embeddedness effects in operational performance in terms of productivity and quality gains. We investigated furniture companies and its customers and suppliers ties. Specifically, we analyze how relational embeddedness - trust and solidarity - reinforces structural embeddedness, which was evaluated from outsourcing costs and sales concentration. Our results point out that customers' relational embeddedness improves quality performance, whereas with suppliers leads to productivity gains. We found two paradoxical effects. First, lower levels of trust and solidarity generates negative effect on suppliers of structural embeddedness in productivity, but at higher levels these effects are positive. Second, the contradiction can be observed when we found a positive effect of two types of immersion combination in productivity, but negative on quality.

title: Knowledge sharing in an automobile project: Brazil's Ford Ecosport

description: The experience lived by a project development team for the new EcoSport at Ford Motor in Camaçari, Bahia was investigated regarding the knowledge sharing between its members. The goal was to evaluate that process, aimed at improving the team's work on new projects. The research focus was placed on two questions: a) what modes of knowledge sharing were preferably practiced. b) What was the effectiveness of these modes on the development process? To answer these questions, we conducted a survey among team's members followed by an analysis of their social network. The research found isolated members or with few ties between them. The network was also isolated in relation to other important actors of the company. The modes of socialization for capturing knowledge and externalization for the transmission of knowledge were the most preferred and effective by the majority of the team members. The authors concluded that it is highly recommended to increase the balance of the knowledge sharing via the stimulation of modes of combination and internalization.

title: Environmental responsability and customers loyalty in retail bank

description: Researchers have suggested the validity of introduction of environmental management to marketing strategies. However, no attention has been given to the prediction of consumers loyalty to banking organizations as a result of their banks' environmental positioning. The objective of this research is to measure if the perception that a retail bank is environmentally responsible explains the satisfaction, the trust and the attitudinal and behavioral loyalty of costumers. An empirical study of a descriptive nature was developed. Its data was collected by means of a survey sample of 914 checking account holders from a retail bank in Brazil and analyzed by Structural Equation Modelling technique. The customer's perception of an environmentally responsible retail bank can explain satisfaction and trust. On the other hand, satisfaction was more relevant in estimating attitudinal loyalty than trust. However, neither satisfaction nor trust explained behavioral loyalty.

title: Do stakeholders matter in strategic decision making of a sports organization?

description: This study aims to identify and prioritize the stakeholders involved in making decisions in a sports organization. A multiple linear regression analysis was used to assess the influence of the attributes of power, legitimacy and urgency on the salience of the various stakeholders. The results showed a convergence of external and internal decision makers' perceptions, concerning the three main stakeholder groups: top management, sponsors and member association. Pearson correlations identified four types of stakeholder: definitive, dangerous, demanding and non-stakeholders. A generalized differentiation was also found in stakeholder classification, regarding evaluation of attributes, between external and internal decision makers. In addition, the study suggests the success of organizations' management will depend on correct identification of stakeholders and consequent assessment of their relevance, in order to highlight who should get priority, and how, in strategic decision making.

title: The effect of distribution on market share in different channels

description: Despite the advances in studies on the effects of distribution channel strategies, the relation between distribution and market share is still a little explored topic, especially in emerging markets. For that reason, this paper's core proposal is to investigate the relation between distribution and market share variables in the Brazilian market, specifically in the beverage sector, comparing two important types of consumer market channels: big and small supermarkets. For such, an empirical study was conducted based on a database with more than 180 stock keeping units (SKUs) sold by three manufacturers in the southeast of Brazil. By means of statistical analyses, the results indicate a convex and growing relation among the variables studied. In other words, there is an inflection point at which market share growth is more accentuated because of distribution. Furthermore, the curves that describe these variables show different effects when comparing big and small supermarkets.

title: Performance in cross-border mergers and acquisitions: an empirical analysis of the brazilian case

description: The purpose of this article is to investigate whether the cross-border acquisitions made by Brazilian companies over the past 15 years have improved their financial performance. Drawing on institutional, socio-cultural, and organizational learning theories, this study develops and empirically tests several hypotheses on the determinants of M&A performance. The results demonstrate that the cross-border acquisition moves by Brazilian companies actually improve their financial performance. Financial performance tends to be positive when the cultural distance between the countries of the acquiring and acquired companies is low to medium and when the institutional context of the acquired company is a developed one. We also found an inverted-U shape relationship between acquiring companies' previous international M&A experience and the performance of a new cross-border operation. These findings suggest that research on international M&As should include acquirers' M&A experience as well as the institutional characteristics of their target countries.

title: Dependence relationship between the critical quality factors and social impact

description: This paper shows the results of the empirical study conducted in 186 tourist accommodation businesses in Spain certified under the "Q for Tourist Quality", own System Quality Management. It was raised with the purpose of analyzing the structure of the relationship between critical quality factors and results-social impact, how they operate and the level of their influence on obtaining these results within the company. Starting from a deep theoretical revision we propose a theoretical model together with the hypotheses to be tested, and we proceed to validation using the technique of Structural Equation Models. The results obtained show that companies wishing to improve their social impact should take into account that leadership is the most important factor to achieve it. Leadership indirectly affects the social impact through its influence on alliances and resources, quality policy/planning, personnel management and learning.

title: A Fuzzy-DEA-Game model for production strategies in uncertainty

description: This study develops a new Fuzzy-DEA-Game (FDG) model to support the establishment of production strategies. This model combines Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with concepts of Fuzzy Set Theory and Nash Bargaining Game. The model permits an evaluation of the productive and economic efficiency of products, which may result in a portfolio of more profitable products with greater consumer market interest. The model was applied at an energy company. The results obtained applying the FDG model adhered to the reality of the studied company and provided goals for reducing resource levels (inputs) needed for manufacturing products and for increasing result levels (output) stemming from their commercialization. As an important additional outcome, the FDG model permitted the identification of portfolio products that are more sensitive to the occurrence of uncertainty.

title: RELATION BETWEEN BACKGROUND VARIABLES, VALUES AND CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

description: ABSTRACT Consumer perception of corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be directly influenced by individual value structures. This research aims to provide new knowledge regarding the relationship between basic human values and the public's perception of CSR. It focuses on the values of higher education students and their views regarding a particular corporate social initiative. The study reveals that social, educational, and economic circumstances influence human values. Those values in turn influence why different students perceive CSR differently. These findings are relevant to companies as they provide a more detailed understanding of why certain consumer groups perceive certain CSR initiatives the way that they do. They also suggest that universities should increase their awareness of the importance of integrating human values and CSR in the curricula of future business managers and social leaders.

title: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF AMERICAN AND SPANISH CRUISE PASSENGERS' BEHAVIORAL INTENTIONS

description: ABSTRACT Earlier studies of cross-national differences in consumer behavior in different consumption sectors have verified that cultural differences have a strong influence on consumers. Despite the importance of cross-national analysis, no studies in the literature examine the moderating effects of nationality on the construction of behavioral intentions and their antecedents among cruise line passengers. This study investigates the moderating effects of nationality on the relationships between perceived value, satisfaction, trust and behavioral intentions among Spanish and (U.S.) American passengers of cruise lines that use Barcelona as home port and port-of-call. A theoretical model was tested with a total of 968 surveys. Structural equation models (SEMs) were used, by means of a multigroup analysis. Results of this study indicated that Spaniards showed stronger relationships between trust and behavioral intentions, and between emotional value and satisfaction. Americans presented stronger relationships between service quality and satisfaction, and between service quality and behavioral intentions.

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.
