title: Formal and Informal Interpersonal Relationships: Interaction of Networks in the Academic Environment

description: Abstract The academic literature presents concepts that are explored by their formal and informal aspects. In addition, it is emphasized that informal interpersonal relationships complement and contribute synergistically with the formal relationships that occur in the various human activities. Some authors have studied the similarity between the formal and informal parts, others have indicated that one could study the joint effects of interaction or the delineation of the boundaries of the informal part by the formal part or if both would have reciprocal influences. In this work we compare the formal and informal social networks of two distinct groups of university students and at different moments to verify the existence of the interaction between the formal and informal elements of these networks. An exploratory field study was carried out with the help of social networks analysis through the software Ucinet 6.0 and Netdraw. Several measures were collected based on the students' perception and the analysis of the data indicated results that were not consistent with the literature, indicating the non-occurrence of a relationship between the formal and informal aspects. Given the importance of this interaction, it is up to the teachers and the educational institution to provide the means for this to occur. The results indicate the need for more scientific studies on the subject.

title: The Smart Grid in Latin America: Ampla as an Example of Innovation in the Electricity Sector

description: Abstract This case study presents a dilemma that confronted Ramon Gonzales, a telecommunications engineer in the Research and Development Department of Ampla, one of the largest electricity distributors in Rio de Janeiro. It occurred in 2010 when the company's executives faced several challenges as they were developing a project that would make Buzios a smart city in terms of electricity, part of the so-called smart grid. This case is of interest in relation to Innovation in disciplines such as the Strategic Management of Technology and Innovation. It is expected that students will be able to discuss concepts of innovation, including barriers, ease of adoption, types, degrees, inputs, advantages and challenges. By discussing this case study, it will also be possible to address aspects related to collaborative participation and other intervening factors that transcend the technological aspects of implementing smart cities.

title: A Drop in the Ocean and Several Challenges for the Ocean Drop

description: Abstract The present case of teaching proposes to students the need to strategically analyze the business model adopted by Ocean Drop - the first Brazilian company specialized in nutrition with microalgae, so that it can continue to increase its scalability without affecting profitability. The case also provokes a reflection on the adequacy of the business plan in the early stages of the company and the use of the Canvas business model as an alternative to formal and systematic planning in innovative business. This case can be used in postgraduate courses or MBA's, in subjects of Entrepreneurship, Innovation or Strategic Management. The situations reported in this case are based on a real story and the company name and characters have been retained. The teaching notes bring suggestions of issues to be discussed in the classroom, as well as a dynamic proposal for use of the case that makes it possible to relate the facts to the literature on the preparation of business plans and creation and evaluation of the Business Model Canvas.

title: Agency Costs and Ownership Structure in Oil Industry

description: Abstract This work focuses on analyzing the influence of government ownership of oil companies listed on US stock exchanges on its agency costs, taking into account characteristics of such companies that may interfere on this relationship. Results indicate that companies on which governments hold a stake tend to present higher agency costs than its private peers when we consider asset utilization efficiency. Measuring it by a discretionary expenses index, the coefficients suggest the same conclusion, although they are not statistically significant. In addition, companies’ size and leverage were found to be relevant factors.

title: Keep Innovating: Absorptive Capacity and the Performance of Brazilian Information Technology Companies

description: Abstract Continuous innovation is considered a major challenge for companies. By deepening this issue, this article highlights the absorptive capacity, which is the ability to explore external knowledge. This study analyzes the extent to which absorptive capacity affects the organizational performance of Brazilian IT companies. A theoretical model containing three hypotheses related to potential absorptive capacity, realized absorptive capacity, and organizational performance is analyzed by using factor analysis and structural equation modeling using an instrument applied to 130 companies between the months of July and August of 2017. The results show significant relations between the dimensions of absorptive capacity and organizational performance, indicating that a characteristic of the technological market is translated by adaptation ability, which demonstrates the influence of potential and realized absorptive capacity in performance as explained by the firm’s dynamic capabilities. JEL Code: N76, O32, L25.

title: Fair Value of Biological Assets: An Interdisciplinary Methodological Proposal

description: Abstract Given the complexity of measuring the fair value of agricultural biological assets, which generally do not have an active market and are dependent on climatic, environmental and biological factors, there is a need for an interdisciplinary view that considers inputs other than economic and accounting. In this sense, the present theoretical essay aims to propose an interdisciplinary methodology to measure the fair value of agricultural biological assets considering also the agronomic factors. As a method, a bibliographic research of an exploratory-descriptive nature was adopted. To support the interdisciplinary methodological proposal, a theoretical framework was developed using the disciplinary lenses of accounting, economics and agronomy, with a focus on agrometeorological modeling. In addition to the methodological proposition, an application was made in the sugarcane sector to demonstrate the behavior and range of the variables. The main contribution of this study is the proposition of an innovative measurement methodology, which considers the agronomic aspects in accounting measurement, which can result in an improvement in the quality of the information, mainly as regards reliability.

title: Are Incentives for Internationalization Appropriate? Perception of Researchers in Information Systems

description: Abstract Internationalization is becoming increasingly important for the Brazilian academy and for the Administration area in particular. To understand which institutional practices influence the international insertion of our researchers, we analyzed 172 questionnaires with data from researchers from Graduate Programs in 17 states at the most important institutions of the country. Despite the data collection focused on a specific segment of the Administration area, researchers in Information Administration (ADI), the results obtained illustrate the behavior of the entire Administration field, since this segment is subject to the same incentive programs as its colleagues from other sub-areas. For these researchers, doctorate abroad, complete or sandwich, is the main element that explains the possibility of international publication. The result of the study presented in this article also points out that researchers do not have access to what they consider the most relevant incentive mechanisms to reach a higher level of internationalization. From the data analysis, it is possible to note that these respondents understand that the incentive models in their institutions need adjustments to better include the country in the global innovation system.

title: Change of Course? The Case of Junckes Distribuidora

description: Abstract This case for teaching aims to promote reflection on the need to carry out research and projections for decision making, with the premise of reducing the uncertainties generated about the implementation of a new business. In addition, it aims to give students the opportunity to discuss situations related to the process of opening a new company, through the case of Junckes Distribuidora, a wholesale providing food services, in which one of the partners idealizes an expansion project. In 2017, after a survey of data to evaluate the financial and economic viability for the new company, the retailer Direto do Colono, Matheus summons the other partners João and Leonardo to a meeting. It is necessary to decide what to do and what is the best decision, to open or not to open the new business, taking into account the data collected and the current situation of the company. The proposal is to place students in the place of managers, in order to foster a debate about the opening of this new business and a reflection on concepts inherent to strategic planning, marketing and financial analysis, exploring these concepts and relating them to the organizational reality. It is proposed that the case be applied in undergraduate courses in Administration, in the disciplin.e of Organizational Strategies.

title: Teaching-learning Practical Wisdom (Phronesis) in Administration: A Systematic Review

description: Abstract The purpose of this systematic review is to investigate how the concept of phronesis is related to education, teaching and learning in the area of Administration and organizational studies. Phronesis is defined as practical wisdom, or prudence, present in processes of deliberation, decision and action. The search for articles on Scopus, Ebsco and Web of Science found 37 articles on the subject. The analysis of these works reveals the most referenced authors, the main definitions and the main research topics regarding teaching and learning in Administration. It is approached according to five main definitions: (a) disposition for judgment or deliberation; (b) perception of context and real situation; (c) type of practical knowledge; (d) phronetic social science, and, (e) multiple definitions. The themes are: (a) Teaching and curriculum related to Administration and business ethics; (b) teacher education and training; (c) teaching and elements of phronesis ; (d) philosophy of education and phronesis ; (e) occupations and other higher education; and, (f) early childhood education. Its relationship with the moral virtues could be more explored, since definitions related to experiential learning predominate. Future studies could discuss practices, praxis, and action-oriented approaches. JEL Code: Y80, A14, D83.

title: Go Global or Stay Local? Understanding How Fiscal Incentives Reshape Supply Networks

description: Abstract This study investigates the way firms reconfigure their supply base and reshape their production network to capture value from Free Trade Zone incentives to capture value from incentives. Six production networks located in Manaus, Brazil are analyzed using the Global Production Network framework and factors related to plant type and supplier relationships. A multiple case study was conducted. Data was collected using in-depth semi-structured interviews administered in loco, and the selected the firms were leaders in three different industries: transportation, mechanical assembly and chemicals. The results indicate that, if effectively applied, incentives can impact production network configuration from an embeddedness perspective, causing a firm to change its strategic role. Based on the analysis, we propose five propositions that challenge the relationships among autonomy, value creation, plant types and levels of embeddedness. The propositions are particularly useful for suppliers and distributors, as well as public agencies, including infrastructure providers and policymakers.
