title: Management of the Cutoff for Granting Consumer Credit

description: Abstract Credit issued directly to consumers is processed in volume through credit-scoring computer models that analyze a large number of potential clients in order to eliminate those that have poor payment histories. This avoids financial losses that arise from payment default. However, by refusing consumers who might default based on purely financial criteria, these models also refuse a large number of consumers with potentially good payment behavior, which can also reduce retailers' potential gains. The main objective of this paper is to verify whether corporate earnings can improve by considering the operating margin when defining the cutoff for direct lending to consumers. We used a statistical measure known as the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and the approach offered by Stein (2005) to build simulations around real market values, which allowed us to confirm that by being flexible and taking into account the operating margin, companies may improve net earnings.

title: Marketization of Tradition: Market Construction Orientated by Tradition

description: Abstract Contemporary society marketization has been identified as the process responsible for elevation of the market to the position of intermediary in social and cultural systems, including traditions. Through an ethnographic study of the southern Brazilian gaucho culture, we analyze how cultural practices have contributed to preservation of traditions through market dynamics. For this, we adopt an interpretative approach to identify multiple agents’ practices responsible for the marketization of traditional gaucho culture. Findings recognize tradition as an invention used as cultural reference for market construction by three distinct groups of agents: producers, consumers and organizers. These agents make use of historical constructions, pride in being gaucho and local identity roots as cultural reference to guide three different marketization strategies: commodification; marketing approaching, and; valuation and valorization of tradition. We conclude that marketization of traditions can transforms the market into a fertile environment for cultural tradition preservation.

title: The Brand as a Moderator and Perceived Value as a Mediator in Repurchase Intention

description: Abstract The price level, perceived value and commitment may impact repurchase intentions. In this sense, this study, based on a literature review, identified that the perception of price level, value and affective and normative commitment may interfere with repurchase intentions. From this theoretical assumption, this research first aimed to analyze the impact these constructs have on the repurchase intention of two different brands of smartphones; second, to identify the moderation brand has on the relations from the theoretical model; and third, to identify the mediation effect on the perceived value of price and repurchase intention. Nine of the ten proposed hypothesis were supported by this study of 732 smartphone consumers. Another contribution of this research refers to the mediating roles brand and perceived value have on repurchase intention.

title: Strategy as Social Practice: a Study of Discursive Practices in Strategizing

description: Abstract This study was conducted using a contemporary approach of Strategy as Social Practice (SSP) highlighting discursive practices. This research aimed to understand how discursive practices contributed to a community higher education institution’s strategic practices. We adopted a qualitative approach as suggested by the literature for research in SSP. We chose to do a single case study and collected data through systematic observation of five strategic planning meetings, qualitative interviews with managers at five hierarchical levels of the university, and document analysis. We used Peircean semiotic analysis for data analysis (Dias, 2015). Based on this analysis, we determined what contributed to strategizing: the historical and social context; a power relationship between the academic area strategists and a means, which is implicit in the discursive practices. The voices of practitioners also emerged from the data: leader, manager and external consultant. From the SSP perspective, the decision-making process may have brought limitations since the one hundred and eleven strategists did not participate in all stages of planning, especially in terms of the means.

title: Co-production of Health Inspection Service: Certification and Rating of Restaurants

description: Abstract This research describes the development process for a proposal on Certification and Classification regarding the Nutritional Quality of buffet restaurants, to be applied by city Health Inspection Services. The process is characterized by co-production in the design of the public service, aimed at improving public health by fighting Non-Communicable Chronic Diseases (NCD). People and organizations with different knowledge on the subject participated in the process, which consisted of seven meetings. The steps for the inspection, certification and classification of restaurants were co-produced according to criteria, grades, classification and symbols. The participants considered the proposal development process to be adequate overall. However, it is necessary to invest in other approaches towards consumers and restaurant representatives in order for them to be more active participants. This research has the potential to contribute to help other sectors of city Health Inspection and other public organizations co-produce working tools; to make it easy for consumers to choose healthy food; to help improve nutritional quality of food served in buffet restaurants; and finally to contribute to fighting NCD in cities.

title: The Effect of the Advisors’ Competence in Scientific Publications Their Advisees’ Publication

description: Abstract This article analyzes the effect advising has on Management Ph.D student scientific publication. The research question is how an adviser’s competence in scientific production (publication of articles) may influence their advisee’s production. In an empirical study using secondary data of a sample of 313 new-PhDs and 127 professors from four Brazilian universities, we analyzed the relationship between the number and quality of adviser publications with the number and quality of advisee publications, using multiple linear regressions. We thus analyzed the impact adviser production has as a predictor of new-Ph.D.’s future publication competence. We found evidence for a significant relationship between quality of adviser publications and the quality of advisee publications, but not the quantity. This study contributes to demonstrate that the scientific production of advisers - in quality and quantity - is directly related to their students’ future production, with implications for doctoral programs and for research on scientific production.

title: Intervenors in the Technology Transfer Process in a Public University

description: Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate intervenors in the technology transfer process in a public university, analyzing its innovation agency from the point of view of protection of intellectual property. A single case study strategy was chosen using semi-structured interviews with agency managers and 13 researchers who actively participate in the process, document collection and direct observation. Results show the institutionalization of the agency by the university was preceded by a series of government incentives to support innovation and by partnerships established with other institutions. The main barriers identified among the intervenors are: activity overload, a lack of knowledge and interest from researchers, deficiencies in the patent drafting process and lack of human capital in agency activities, bureaucracy and a lack of support by the university. Facilitators included researcher academic experience, dissemination of intellectual property culture, outsourcing of the patent drafting process by the agency and its institutionalization by the university. Researchers are encouraged to engage in the process of technology transfer particularly by awareness of the importance of protecting discoveries, access to research resources, economic gains, and academic prestige.

title: Potterheads Dispositif: Organization Guided by the Order of the Canon

description: Abstract Fans of the Harry Potter saga, known as Potterheads, belong to a generation that grew up in a context called convergence culture. They are organized based on a media product in a social space called fandom, through an informal organizational process. Grounded in Foucault’s thinking and organizational theory, we assume that organizational processes can be analyzed as a kind of dispositif and that this is established by practices. Based on this, we developed the following investigative question: how do Potterhead practices demonstrate their organizational process? The research is characterized as a Foucauldian Discourse Analysis, based on practices of Potterheads observed in social media. We identified that the canon of this literary and cinematic universe works as an ordered body of knowledge, whose disciplinary function enables the organization of their fans, which occurs in a dynamic of adhesion and resistance to it. The study reveals how a singular organizational process (Potterheads’ organized life), linked to an economic environment of increasing importance (the entertainment industry), illustrates how a dispositif operates in the production of social spaces and subjectivities, in the midst of an affective economy operated as a biopolitical technology.

title: Capital Dynamics in Favelas (Brazilian Slums): The Bureaucratic Field and the Spatial Capital

description: Abstract In this article we aim to analyze the disputes over capital by bureaucratic State agents acting in favelas within the context of pacification. To this end, we rely on the theoretical perspective of Pierre Bourdieu and we conducted an ethnography-inspired field research in two Rio de Janeiro favelas, which included participant observation and 91 semi-structured interviews. We concluded that the types of capital most valued by the State bureaucratic agents acting in the favelas are economic capital, a fundamental type, and spatial capital, a specific type found in the field in question related to occupation of territory or material results. Therefore, agents that accumulate a larger volume of these capitals, such as the UPP (Police Pacification Unit) and the PAC (Program for Growth Acceleration), seem to achieve dominant field positions.

title: Technology Assessment: A Methodological Proposal

description: Abstract This research aims to propose a methodology to support technology assessment using scientometrics and patentometrics that is capable of assisting organizations in their decision making, in particular in reference to the introduction of new technologies. The introduction of a new technology in a scenario of uncertainties may cause impacts within organizations, this is why it is necessary to make a preliminary analysis. The primary objective of the Technology Assessment is to provide information that can minimize the risks and maximize the benefits of a particular technology. The proposed methodology is composed of nine easily replicable steps which can be used either by specialists who are in charge of carrying out a technological assessment in organizations, or by professionals who do not usually act in this process.
