title: The Smart Contract on Gas Trade: An Exploratory Analysis

description: Abstract The article presents a new information technology named Smart Contract (SC) as a proposal for automating contract management in today’s natural gas trade. The decision-maker should estimate in advance the impact of this technology for the future. The use of Smart Contract in the actual scenario of the Brazilian natural gas market involves some fundamental factors that encompass the main players of trade: Government, Organization, and Consumer. This article proposes an exploratory approach regarding Smart Contract to understand its attributes since no previous studies with SC have been conducted specifically for the Brazilian gas market. The qualitative methodology was selected because it analyses subjective aspects of the proposed information technology. Analysis included a questionnaire that was answered by two specialists who provided valuable insight into the feasibility of using the SC. I present two possible scenarios using Smart Contract to foster discussion considering the status quo of the Brazilian gas market. The data regarding the constructs was collected using documentary research of the emerging literature on Smart Contract, Blockchain, and the current gas market in Brazil.

title: Budget Dilemma: The quest for Stability in the Context of Retraction

description: Abstract UniCaso is a Brazilian federal university located in the interior that participated in the organizational expansion program promoted by the government of Brazil. In this program, education is recognized constitutionally as a right of all and as a duty of the state and the family. However, after ten years, the program has not been consolidated and the government has difficulties maintaining and creating new financial conditions to support it, leading to a reduction in investments for higher education. Thus, the head managers of UniCaso faced the need to make decisions regarding the university budget and financial adjustments to minimize the negative impact on the ongoing teaching, research, and extension activities. Therefore, this case presents the dilemma from the perspective of the university's dean: what is the best way to ensure the financial stability of UniCaso in a scenario of reduced public investments? The case triggers a discussion on budgetary management and strategic planning in undergraduate and postgraduate courses of University Management, Public Management, and Accounting Sciences.

title: Incongruent Humour, Advertising Effectiveness and Women: An Experiment On Facebook

description: Abstract The objective of this paper is to analyze how ads with incongruous humor on Facebook influence female Brazilian consumer engagement, attitudes and purchase intention. An experiment conducted on Facebook with 269 women allowed us to test whether the presence of incongruous humor influences advertisement effectiveness, confirming this hypothesis, demonstrating that humorous appeal has a positive effect on female audiences. Regarding contributions, our findings confirm that engagement, attitudes and purchase intention conform to important measures of advertisement effectiveness in the virtual context; reveal new facets about women's perception of stimuli traditionally designed for men; and show social networks to be fundamental elements for consumer decision-making. Thus, we discuss the role of the Internet as a platform for interaction between companies and users and the need of building a relationship in this context, in which incongruous humor proves to be capable of catching consumer attention, arousing engagement, provoking favorable attitudes and, thereby, driving purchase intention.

title: Sustainable Management at a University in Light of Tensions of Sustainability Theory

description: Abstract Drawing on the theory of tensions of sustainability management, this original work aims at analysing tensions that emerged during the process of inserting sustainability at core processes of an important Brazilian university. Eleven interviews were conducted and analysed through the thematic categorisation and the Atlas ti software was used. A documental analysis was also carried out. The results suggested that: (a) there was a predominance of tensions originating from the organizational dimension; (b) the performance dimension was associated with the plurality of outcomes expected by stakeholders; (c) the existing asymmetry between the expectation of the subjects and the concrete results visualized in the Unisul University as contributed to the fact that the points of tension converged towards the performance dimension. And it challenged managers to find mechanisms to minimize the dilemmas and conflicts that emerged and to align the expectations of the different stakeholders of the Unisul Sustainable enterprise.

title: Business Models and Blockchain: What Can Change?

description: Abstract The goal is to identify the characteristics of innovative business models that use blockchain technology. Through a qualitative and descriptive research, we sought, in the Crunshbase database, the companies that had in their activity description the word Blockchain, obtaining a total of 810 companies. The data obtained were tabulated in Excel spreadsheet and we carried out a collection of additional information on the websites of the organizations. The process of data analysis used the technique of document analysis and content analysis. The results allowed us to identify that most organizations' foundation date from 2014 and are located in North America. Regarding the area of expertise of these organizations, it can be observed that most of them belong to financial and technology areas. Moreover, 10 companies were already in operation before the creation of blockchain technology, pointing out the characteristic of a disruptive technology, which is the readjustment of established companies. Finally, we highlight the contributions related to the field, by identifying the main areas of business that use blockchain technology, as well as revealing important descriptions about these companies. In addition to contributions to the theory, by presenting empirical evidences of active business with this technology and its contributions to the various areas.

title: Legitimacy Accounts in the Debate about the Reform of Brazilian Courts of Accounts

description: Abstract The objective of this research was to investigate the political-cultural process related to the debate on the reform of Brazilian Courts of Accounts (CAs), law enforcement organizations responsible for controlling public resources. The research focused on analyzing how legitimacy accounts conducted by different categories of actors manifested themselves in the debate about the reform of Brazilian CAs from 2000 to 2017. We collected data from documentary sources, such as parliamentary speeches, public hearings debates, and news. Interviews were also conducted with representatives of the various categories of actors, including professional corporations, media, academia, judiciary, and organized civil society. Through the analysis of the mobilization process and the central arguments that called for the legitimacy of reform (legitimacy accounts), the results pointed to: (a) the centrality of professional corporations, both in the mediation and translation of the debate, and in the design of intervention strategies in the organizational field, and; (b) the identification of organizational, relational, procedural, jurisdictional and responsive aspects related to the multidimensional legitimacy of CAs. The results contribute to the areas of organizational studies, public administration and administration of justice.

title: Anchoring Heuristic in Experts Decision: Results Under the Manipulation Test

description: Abstract Although technology-assisted decisions have advanced in recent years, the decision-making process is still essentially human. Personal decision or context variables are explored throughout the process and the variable knowledge appears as important for literature, when looking to verify its intervention. Cognitive biases, among them anchoring, are the focus of several studies on their influence, as well as the level of knowledge of the decision-maker on the subject matter of the decision, classified as specialists and novices. Thus, the research problem arises: is the effect of Anchoring Heuristics affected by the manipulation of decision makers' knowledge? In order to answer this question, a quasi-experiment was performed with 324 decision subjects, divided into Calibration Groups and Experimental Groups, using the Jacowitz and Kahneman Model (1995). The study brings as its main results from the Manipulation Test (Cozby, 2006) of the knowledge variable the lack of anchoring effect in experts decision related to their field of knowledge, these results going against Northcraft e Neale (1987) e Dorow (2009).

title: The Impacts of Health Care Evaluations on the Well-Being of Low-incomers

description: Abstract There is a strong call for marketing research that looks at the impacts of goods and services on consumer well-being, which gains greater momentum when it comes to low-income people (Bottom of the Pyramid). This article articulates a Conceptual Model of the relations among evaluations of health care services and the well-being of the client, that arises from an adaptation of the best of the models compared by Brady et al. (2005). A sample of low-income patients, leaving care public health units in the city of São Paulo, was gathered. The structural equations modeling supported the hypotheses that link Perceived Quality and Perceived Value, Perceived Quality and Satisfaction, Satisfaction and Individual Well-being. Expressive 35.1% of the Individual Welfare variance are explained by the Model. A positive (instead of negative) the classic conception. These empirical findings are confronted with the literature. Finally, scientific, managerial, and political implications are exposed. JEL Code: I3, I14, D31.

title: Effects of Qualitative Data Analysis Softwares in the Quality of Researches

description: Abstract This study aims to describe the effects of Qualitative Data Analysis Softwares (QDAS) in the quality of qualitative research from researchers’ perspective. What motivated this research was the divergence of opinions about the effects of QDAS on the quality of qualitative research. The theoretical framework was developed based on the literatures about quality criteria of qualitative research, strategies of quality promotion and adoption of QDAS. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten researchers with or without experience in the use of a QDAS. The analysis technique used was content analysis with the support of ATLAS.ti® software. The results showed that the use of a QDAS can potentiate six of the seven quality strategies considered, with emphasis on improvement of researcher’s coherence. The quality criteria more benefitted by the use were confirmability and credibility. As a disadvantage of the use of QDAS, the question of the researcher’s distance from the data emerged. The results contribute to the flourishment of the discussion about the effects of QDAS and encouraging the use of QDAS.
