title: Investment networks and campaigns financing in Minas Gerais

description: Abstract The state of Minas Gerais was a pioneer in Brazil in adopting a legal framework governing public-private partnerships (PPPs). While the modernization of the state had, as one of its main pillars the partnership between it and the markets, at the same time this suggested the existence of certain social dilemmas facing Brazil's democracy, such as the private financing of electoral campaigns. Using the structural sociology of relationships, certain inter-organizational investment networks were analyzed, made up of 127 actors and covering the period between 2000 and 2014, to identify which of these actors helped finance candidates for governor and/or political parties in the 2002, 2006 and 2010 elections. The survey showed evidence of the modernization of the state through the expertise of organizations and indicated the influence of economic powers in meeting public demands and the private financing of election campaigns.

title: Fiscal performance and elections in Brazil: a comparative analysis of local governments

description: Abstract: The paper's goal is to analyze the relationship between fiscal performance and re-election for mayors in Brazil based on multiple dimensions and a comprehensive time period (1997 to 2012). The research tests two main hypothesis: i) the first-term mayor tends to achieve a better fiscal performance due to the chance of re-election; ii) the mayor who has a better performance tends to be rewarded by the voters with his re-election. The multivariate regression models refute the hypothesis that the expected re-election would generate different fiscal performance. Regarding the second, the efforts to raise tax negatively affect in his/hers likelihood of electoral success, whereas the electorate rewards the ones that invest more.

title: The coevolution between public policies/institutions and technological development: the case of Petrobras Biocombustível

description: Abstract:The main objective of this paper was to analyze the coevolution of the public policies/institutions and technological capabilities of Petrobras Biocombustível (PBio). To do so, the study considered a theoretical approach related to the neoshumpterian view, analyzing the evolution process from 2004 to 2012. The main findings were: i) PBio/Petrobras reached higher levels of technological capabilities in their industrial paths when compared to induced agricultural technologies; and, ii) the policies/institutions of this sector have evolved, especially regarding the financing industrial policy and the demand raising policy. However, although the levels of policies/institutions were high in the sector, they do not established technological patterns of international frontier, indicating that this catching up will be reached through additional internal efforts.

title: Sustainable development issues in the Dispute Settlement Body of the World Trade Organization: breaking down myths and barriers

description: Abstract:The concept of sustainable development includes social justice, equal income distribution, full employment, safe and healthy working environments, environmental protection and socio-economic welfare. This paper intends to provide a comparative analysis of sustainable development issues inside the WTO dispute system based on the analysis of the cases presented to WTO since January 1st 1995 until January 1st 2014. This paper proposes to analyse the extent and nature of the incorporation of sustainable development issues into WTO dispute settlement through the analysis of the WTO "case law". No one can deny that the WTO will face in the near future challenges related to sustainable development issues. The WTO's ability to reconcile multilateral trade liberalization with sustainable development in its system of dispute is a central concern to the institution's legitimacy.

title: IGovP: the public governance assessment index - a State planning instrument tool and social control by the citizen

description: The concept of public governance involves, among other aspects of management, transparency, accountability, ethics, integrity, legality and social participation in decisions. But how to evaluate the degree to which each federative entity strives to fulfill the principles of public governance in the implementation of public policies? Answering this question, the aim of this study is to develop an index to measure the public governance and to do so from the point of view of its principles, and present it as a tool for self-evaluation and planning for the State and control social for the citizens. Methodological work has applied character, supported by exploratory and descriptive research, with a comparative approach. As a result, the index developed is presented and confirms its applicability and assumed purposes.

title: Challenges in the organization of health public-private partnerships in Brazil. Analysis of projects designed between January 2010 and March 2014.

description: Health Care is one of the service sectors that suffers intense demand pressure. The structures available in Brazilian Health Unified System (SUS) and its insufficient investment capacity have compromised the care provided. The structuring of PPP is presented as an alternative approach to reduce the service deficit. The study, based on analytical methodology using the triad thesis-antithesis-synthesis, observed the implementation of 24 PPP in Brazilian hospitals with analysis of their profiles, critical factors, limitations and trends. It was taken into consideration the observation of the processes' technical criteria, the existence of epidemiological studies that justified them, the accomplishment of legal steps and the participation of the health sector and legal bodies. In conclusion, there are 4 groups of projects with different implementation characteristics and solution measures are suggested to the situations that ensure contractual equality.

title: Management of cultural policies and quality of democracy: São Paulo, 10 years of a model still under construction

description: Social organizations have assumed a growing role in the management of public policies of culture in the state of São Paulo. Founded in the "new public management" school, one can affirm that this model of management would bring more quality to democracy from the administrative reforms of public organizations. In the light of the theory of the quality of democracy, the article analyzes the model's implementation in the state, using the descriptive data of the resources provided and of the contracts of management established between the government and civil society organizations. We conclude that, despite the high effort in the implementation of the model, one cannot notice a pattern of management from social organizations of culture in its relationship with the state, as well as suggest other investigative dimensions to establish the research agenda.

title: The introduction of the health economic industrial complex in the development agenda: an analysis from Kingdon's multiple streams model

description: The health care complex refers to all productive base involved in service provision, promotion and health surveillance. It involves both the secondary sector of economy, as the chemical-based industries, biotechnology, mechanics and materials, and the tertiary, which includes services rendered in health establishments. Such complex mobilizes a series of technologies relevant to the competitive insertion in the global economy, represents a significant part of the national GDP and it is a source of jobs and income, which is why health care economic importance has been increasingly institutionalized in the national development agenda. This article aims to analyze the introduction of this complex in Brasil Maior Plan priorities, given that health responds to different factors pertaining to both the political situation and the choice made by decision makers among many options of public policies, but also to socioeconomic problems observed in health. Those elements will be studied through the use of the theoretical framework of multiple streams model, using as a method of analysis the confrontation of streams of problems, solutions and macro political context. The main results of the study indicate that the decision to incorporate the health economic industrial complex to Brasil Maior Plan priorities is the result of a renewed approach of health care, both at the cognitive and institutional level, in which it is understood as a citizen's right, an economic and social good as well as a space for capital accumulation.

title: The effectiveness of income transfers: trends of inequality before and after Bolsa Família program

description: In proposing the use of Markov Chain and differences in the analysis of the effectiveness of Bolsa Família program, this study sought to contribute to the state of the art in applied studies of public policies of income transfer. The combined use of these methods was used in two periods: before the implementation of the program and after it. The results revealed that, after the implementation of Bolsa Família, the "cycle of poverty" presented signs of rupture, due to a tendency of convergence to higher levels of income and because of the likelihood of mitigating the poorest income classes of the Brazilian population. Thus, on long-term, there is the possibility of changing and combating the dynamics of the cycle of poverty and social exclusion in Brazil.

title: Public procurement as a policy for sustainable development

description: This study aims to understand how the State has contributed to sustainable development through their purchasing power, more precisely, when comparing practices and regulations in the Brazilian states of São Paulo and the ones of the South region. Regarding the method of research, bibliographical and documental research was conducted in the legislation and notices of the above states, through the years 2011-2013. It was found that the advancements are limited to environmental issues and social dimension. Advances, although in a soft way, strengthen the organizational models which are not focused on profit maximization, turned to social inclusion, distributive justice, environmental balance and well-being of the community, which are basic prerogatives of the solidarity economy, social enterprises and popular cooperatives, which may be particularly leveraged.

title: Tax over movement of goods and socio-environmental service: institutional incentives and environmental legislation in Brazil

description: The sustainable growth of Brazilian municipalities has turned the sustainability of its municipalities from a desirable aspect into a requirement for the country's development, taking into consideration the Brazilian growth boom in the recent years. Nevertheless, the responsibility for the supervision and environmental regulation of growth and production has been increasingly transferred to local actors. In this scenario, the tax over movement of goods and services (Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadoria e Serviço - ICMS) stands as one of the main mechanisms of regulation and planning of the productive processes at the local level. This paper examines the legal and institutional aspects of this initiative, as well as comparatively outlines the differences between state legislations. It also analyses the historical path of their legal development. Furthermore, particularly the research tried to outline a national panoramic view of how different conceptions of sustainability were put into operation by the state legislations, creating different structures of institutional incentives.

title: CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND POLITICAL CONNECTIONS IN ANTI-CORRUPTION PRACTICES

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to analyze whether specific corporate governance mechanisms and political connections influence the voluntary disclosure of anti-corruption practices in the companies listed in the Brazilian stock exchange [B]3. The disclosure index was obtained from the relationship between the number of citations of the keywords and the number of pages in the sustainability reports. The analysis was performed using multiple linear regression, considering 740 observations from financial years 2016 and 2017. The results indicate that the size and percentage of external members on the board of directors, Big Four audits, size of the audit committee, and participation of government shareholding positively influence the levels of disclosure of anti-corruption practices. In turn, the presence of politicians on the board of directors leads to an increase in information asymmetry due to a lower level of disclosure, which, by extension, represents less commitment to anti-corruption practices.

title: ACCOUNTING INSCRIPTIONS FOR THE EXERCISE OF ORGANIZATIONAL POWER: THE CASE OF THE SLAVE EMANCIPATION FUND IN BRAZIL

description: ABSTRACT This research aims to analyze how organizational power can be exercised over specific populations through accounting inscriptions. This aim has been achieved by using a methodology based on a case study and archive research. The case study of the national emancipation fund was based on the analysis of legislation, archival documents, and newspapers. The concept of governmentality has been used to conduct an interpretative data analysis. The results demonstrate that the accounting inscriptions allowed territorial control and collection of amounts for constitution of municipal emancipation fund, supervision of the slavers owners, and establishment of selection criteria for the manumission of slaves considered "worthy of freedom." In this way, the imperial state maintained control over the gradual transition from slavery to wage labor.

title: CORPORATE STORYTELLING AND THE IDEA OF LATIN AMERICA

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this article is contributing to a great variety of theoretical perspectives and empirical settings to generate cumulative evidence about the influence of historical legacies and organisational ability for managing the past. In a continuation of critical perspectives that challenges the dominance of Anglo-Saxon onto-epistemologies in management and organisation studies (MOS), we conducted an empirical study on a multinational airline company whose past successes depended on the North/South, Anglo/Latin American borderlands. We analysed the grand narratives of Pan American Airways' (PAA) corporate archival material to determine its dominant discourses about people from Latin America. Based on the three themes of politics, economics, and culture, we present three grand narratives, or official stories, that we argue summarise PAA storytelling about Latin America between 1927 and 1960. Following decolonial feminism, we aim to recontextualise the past and the hegemonic storytelling embedded in PAA's grand narratives.

title: HIJACKED BY HOPE: DYNAMICS OF MISSION DRIFT AND IDENTITY DILUTION IN A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION

description: ABSTRACT This article addresses how organizational identity and mission are constructed and reproduced over time through processes of remembering and forgetting. Building on literature that views organizational memory as a strategic resource, this paper showcases the enabling effects of history, memory, and the past for organizational resilience and survival. Although temporal narratives may be employed as rhetorical tools to construct coherency between the past, present, and future, we find they also have the potential of sidetracking and hijacking an organization’s direction. Our study shows how an excessive focus on the future can cause mission drift and identity dilution. However, the identity dilution can be resolved through revisiting and remembering the past. The organizational past is not merely a strategic resource for identity construction, it is also a temporal anchor from which the organization may (re)discover its original purpose. The findings are based on a qualitative, in-depth, ethnographic case study of a nonprofit organization whose goal is to establish a national network of local school gardens.

title: AN ENGAGED UNIVERSITY: RESCUING SMEs DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS

description: ABSTRACT The economic effects of isolation policies resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have led small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to look for alternatives to survive. Within this crisis scenario, an engaged university has an important role to play in a regional context in addressing not only health issues, but also any resultant social and economic problems. An engaged university needs to take actions that go beyond its traditional missions of education and research - it has to deliver knowledge to society. This paper analyzes a university-community project in Brazil to identify the necessary elements that help promote a regionally-engaged university: the SOS-PME Advisory Network project, which was originally designed to assist SMEs during the crisis. As a result, we identified elements necessary for promoting the university’s third mission - social engagement by way of a university-community project: an engaged team, multidisciplinarity, project management, agility, alliances, a communication strategy, institutional support, and reputation.

title: THE BURNOUT EPIDEMIC DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: THE ROLE OF LMX IN ALLEVIATING PHYSICIANS’ BURNOUT

description: ABSTRACT During COVID-19 pandemic, physicians are being exposed to unprecedented adverse working conditions that lead to increased occurrence of burnout. While supportive leadership is considered effective in preventing burnout, little is known about the role of leadership in extreme situations. Drawing on leader-member exchange (LMX) theory, we hypothesize that high-LMX relationships lead to lower levels of burnout, as they shape physicians’ perceptions of psychosocial job demands and resources. We also contend that this effect will be stronger for frontline physicians, as they are more exposed to job stressors. In a field study with 2,708 Brazilian physicians, we found support to the alleviating role of LMX, but contrary to what we predicted, we found that this effect is weaker for frontline physicians. Overall, our findings reinforce the importance of establishing high-quality relationships between supervisors and medical staff to mitigate the experience of burnout, however, they also highlight that extreme conditions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, might constrain the beneficial effects of leadership behaviors.

title: BUSINESS ACTION ON SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE IN THE CONTEXT OF COVID-19

description: ABSTRACT Facing up to the COVID-19 crisis has emphasized the importance of taking a critical and systemic look at business action for sustainability. The aims of this article are: to discuss sustainability, through the theoretical lenses of ‘strong’ and ‘weak’ sustainability and its relationship with economic paradigms; to present the theory of resilience as an alternative to the current challenges; and, based on the concepts presented, to analyze the indications of how organizations are reacting to the crisis. To this end, semi-structured interviews were conducted with companies operating in Brazil. As a result it was found that signs of the realignment of the companies’ initial purpose of creating value for society coexist alongside signs of continued investment in market-based solutions and the search for infinite growth on a planet with limited resources.

title: EFFECTS OF INFORMATION ON JOB INSECURITY AND WORK ENGAGEMENT IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC

description: ABSTRACT Pandemics raise scenarios of uncertainty that afflict even people who are used to promoting information congruence, as in fintechs. Thus, the purpose is to investigate the effects of vertical information sharing on mitigating job insecurity and on work engagement, moderated by the credibility of the social media information about the pandemic. A survey was carried out with employees of the largest Brazilian financial startup and structural equation modeling and fuzzy-set QCA were applied to the data analysis. The results show that vertical information sharing mitigates job insecurity and exerts effects on work engagement. Vertical information sharing and absence of job insecurity are, respectively, almost always and always necessary, and sufficient for high work engagement. Furthermore, information credibility moderates the relationship between job insecurity and work engagement. These results provide contributions by revealing effects that are antecedents of job insecurity and work engagement in a unique period of pandemic.

title: WOMEN IN HOME OFFICE DURING THE COVID-A9 PANDEMIC AND THE WORK-FAMILY CONFLICT CONFIGURATIONS

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this research was to understand the impacts that working from home during the COVID-19 quarantine period had on the work-family conflict for Brazilian female workers. To reach the objective, fourteen professionals with different family arrangements, were interviewed. All the interviewees reported work overload due to organizational requirements, and the demands placed on them by their children and the home. Despite this, it is worth noting that, according to the testimonies, this work overload did not intensify the work-family conflict for all of them, contrary to what is claimed in the literature. Some interviewees stated that working from home brought them closer to their children and husbands and provided more time for physical and leisure activities. This finding can contribute towards broadening the debate on work-family conflict, by postulating that it is not only time, pressure and behavior that are the sources of this conflict, but also the physical distance imposed by the hours spent working away from the home.

title: BAD (GOOD) NEWS AND DELAY (ANTICIPATION) OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS’ DISCLOSURE

description: ABSTRACT Managers have discretion over the timing of accounting information disclosure; existing literature has investigated the potential determinants regarding this choice. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate whether the type of accounting information is a factor that influences the anticipation of its disclosure to external users. The dataset comprises information provided by Brazilian companies listed on the Brasil Bolsa Balcão (B3) between 2010 and 2016. The research employed linear regression and the logistic regression model to evaluate whether type of news is a determinant for the timing of financial disclosures. Empirical evidence indicates that the nature of information (i.e., good or bad news) is related to the time taken (i.e., postponement or anticipation) in disclosing quarterly accounting figures of companies. Overall, our results contribute to the disclosure literature in Brazil and indicate that postponements are associated with the disclosure of negative news.
