title: LEAN HEALTHCARE IMPLEMENTATION: EXPERIENCES AND LESSONS LEARNED FROM BRAZILIAN HOSPITALS

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze the process of implementing lean healthcare in three Brazilian hospitals that have played a pioneering role in the implementation of this system. We adopted the case study approach and collected data through interviews, document analysis, and observation. The results showed that the processes of implementation of lean healthcare in the hospitals shared many similarities in terms of the flow of patients, materials, or information. Finally, it was possible to obtain some guidelines for the application of lean principles and techniques in order to facilitate the implementation of lean healthcare in hospital operations.

title: DETERMINANTS OF INTER-ORGANIZATIONAL NETWORK FORMATION IN THE CULTURAL SECTOR

description: ABSTRACT In recent years, the number of studies applying Social Network Analysis to the formation of inter-organizational networks has increased. This paper analyzed a socio-centric network composed of 32 cultural organizations in Andalusia increase. Multiple Regression Quadratic Assignment Procedure (MR-QAP) at the dyadic level, showed that perceptions of affinity (i.e., homophily) and the possibility of establishing contacts in the future, can exert influence on the establishment of informal contacts. At the internal level, an organization's brokerage position in collaboration project networks is related to the volume of business and the old in the sector. Finally, this article discusses applications for the management of inter-organizational networks in order to strengthen the implementation of public policies.

title: LOWER FINANCIAL LITERACY INDUCES USE OF INFORMAL LOANS

description: ABSTRACT Finance literature documents associations between a family's financial literacy and its propensity to borrow. However, most studies focus exclusively on formal loan markets. Based on 2,023 observations about financial behavior of Brazilian families, we examined the impacts of financial literacy on informal borrowing, such as loans from friends or moneylenders. Using multinomial logit models, we compared financial literacy's effects on the propensity to take informal loans between families that did not borrow at all and those who took bank loans. Financial literacy is measured by the investment in capitalization bonds, a financial instrument in the Brazilian market. The results suggest that financial literacy's relevance to informal loans may exceed that for formal credit channels.

title: PROCESS-BASED MODELLING OF THE INFORMATION SYSTEMS RESISTANCE PHENOMENON

description: ABSTRACT This article aims to propose a process-based modelling of the Information Systems resistance phenomenon. Accordingly, we wrote a literature review to categorize the main points set forth by the extant scientific texts relating to the process taxonomy: input, output, players, and the resistance phenomenon. Based on the modelling, this article provides theoretical implications in terms of improving the understanding of the phenomenon among academicians as well as practical and managerial suggestions related to its mitigation.

title: ASSEMBLAGED BY DESIRE: POTTERHEADS' PRODUCTIVE CONSUMPTION

description: ABSTRACT The Harry Potter saga became one of the cultural products with a major impact on the twenty-first century. Its fans, called potterheads, relate in a social space known as fandom. Their practices are based on the appropriation of the cultural text in a productive consumption process within a context of participatory culture. Assuming desire from the perspective of Deleuzian assemblage theory, which presents this concept as a flow of productive energy that is articulated through a collective force, this study aimed to understand how potterheads' productive consumption is assemblaged by desire. We therefore explored multifocal data concerning practices of potterheads available on digital platforms using Foucauldian Discourse Analysis. Our results revealed that potterheads' desire assemblage maintains their bond with the canonical universe of the saga, as a way of maintaining identity and security in the transition to adult life, through relationships in the fandom and in pursuit of broader social legitimacy. The study contributes theoretically by adopting the Deleuzian notion of desire as a lens to understand the collective action of consumers in cultural contexts of practice.

title: CONVIVENCIA: A SOLUTION TO THE HALAL/ PORK TENSION IN SPAIN?

description: ABSTRACT This work illuminates the connection between foodways and identity forging in Spain’s migration context. The concern of Moroccan and Pakistani Muslims over maintaining halal food practices conflicts with Spain’s reliance on and celebration of Iberian ham. This "two food cultures conflict," which I conceptualize as a halal/pork binary, can be traced back to the 15th century Spanish reconquista. However, Moroccan restaurateurs’ current revival of the convivencia (coexistence) narrative, their emphasis on a collective Andaluzi identity, and tapasization and halalization of Moroccan-Muslim and Spanish foodways are possible solutions to this tension. This identity work in the restaurant allows them to reconcile the cultural, religious, and gastronomic tensions between Muslims and non-Muslims in Spain and rewrites halal foodways into the Spanish foodscape.

title: VALUE CO-CREATION IN THE SPECIALTY COFFEE VALUE CHAIN: THE THIRD-WAVE COFFEE MOVEMENT

description: ABSTRACT Brazil represents approximately 29% of the world’s coffee exports, with 15% of that being "specialty coffee." Most Brazilian coffee exports are composed of commoditized green beans, influencing the value chain to be grounded on an exchange paradigm. This scenario started to change with the introduction of specialized coffee shops, coffee capsules for home consumption, and demand for a more artisanal product. A paradigm of value creation along the chain drives production processes that aim to differentiate products through superior coffee beans and unique experiences. This study was developed through content analysis of 15 years of news collected from two Brazilian newspapers. Additionally, we interviewed owners of coffee shops, coffee producers, cooperatives, intermediaries, and regulators. We concluded that the value chain faces challenges in reaching higher value-in-use creation for all involved actors.

title: "BEER WITH CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS": MARKETING BEER UNDER MAO

description: ABSTRACT This essay explores the nationalization of beer in twentieth-century China. Using the theoretical framework of "culinary infrastructure," it shows how the physical facilities and technologies of brewing and marketing interacted with local drinking cultures to shape the understandings of beer in China. It begins by describing how a western consumer good originally marketed to colonial representatives was gradually adopted by the urban Chinese as a symbol of modernity in the first half of the twentieth century. It then reviews the nationalization of foreign-owned breweries and the growth of domestic production in the first decades of Communist rule. The essay concludes that the Chinese acquired a taste for beer as an everyday marker of urban privilege that survived Maoist radicalism and remains to this day a defining feature of Communist China.

title: BRAND EQUITY IN AGRIBUSINESS: BRAZILIAN CONSUMER PERCEPTIONS OF PORK PRODUCTS

description: ABSTRACT Even sectors that usually offer similar products, such as agribusiness, can develop brand strategies that are potentially capable of promoting a greater perceived value in the eyes of consumers. This paper discusses how the origin of product, perceptions, and attitudes of Brazilian high-income consumers concerning food production processes, and brand equity assigned by consumers to certification processes affect the formation of brand equity in agricultural commodities.

title: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF VIRTUOUSNESS IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND JOB OUTCOMES

description: ABSTRACT In this study, we explore the role of organizational virtuousness (OV) as a mechanism through which human resource management practices (HRMPs) affect employee outcomes. We propose that HRMPs lead to higher levels of organizational citizenship behaviors and affective commitment by stimulating OV. Using a sample of 525 workers, from 22 stores of a retailing company, we found evidence that HRMPs predict OV, thereby predicting members’ citizenship behaviors and affective commitment. By suggesting this new mediator, this study contributes to a better understanding of the causal chain linking HRMPs and performance.

title: THE ROLE OF PERCEIVED ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT IN JOB INSECURITY AND PERFORMANCE

description: ABSTRACT In this study, we develop a conceptual model of the relationship between job insecurity and job performance, which is mediated by affective organizational commitment and moderated via perceived organizational support in a Chilean company that has undergone downsizing. In this cross-sectional study, we focused on 400 Chilean employees from the retail sector. Our findings indicate that job insecurity negatively influences job performance, which is a relationship that is partially mediated by effective organizational commitment. Moreover, a high level of perceived organizational support helped intensify the effects of the relationship between job insecurity and affective organizational commitment. To minimize the negative effects of job insecurity on the active employees of a downsizing strategy, an effective intervention is required by developing a more realistic communication in terms of a worker's expectations toward the organization.

title: INTEGRATION BETWEEN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: A DYNAMIC CAPABILITIES PERSPECTIVE

description: ABSTRACT Integration between research (R) and development (D) activities when they are organized separately in companies as specific departments is crucial for innovation performance and for the firm's adaptation and growth. Although this is of utmost importance, paradoxically, very few studies have focused on it. Considering this integration as a dynamic capability, through a systematic literature review on integration models and dynamic capabilities, we discuss distinctive views of the concept and the ways in which they can be applied. This study leads to the systematization of this knowledge field and to the identification of gaps in the literature on the integration between R and D. A research agenda is also proposed.

title: THE IMPACT OF E-BOOKS ON THE BRAZILIAN PUBLISHING SUPPLY CHAIN: AN EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS

description: ABSTRACT This work aims to analyze the main effects of the emergence of electronic books within the context of the Brazilian publishing supply chain. Interviews with executives from publishing groups in the country have made it possible to identify that e-books still play a minor role in the publishing supply chain, and are more likely to thrive in specific book genres. Electronic books have not made this chain leaner. Since e-books did not replace physical books and instead coexisted with them, publishers were obliged to develop a new set of activities within the existing publishing supply chain. Disintermediation is one of the most striking features of this new production process. In order to adapt to this new scenario, the publishing sector needs to implement adjustments that extend beyond its typical operations, which also implies the need for a redefinition of resources and development of requisite competencies.
