Artigo de Periódico Noticioso Objetivos de agendas do governo se perdem ao tentar não desagradar a grupos de interesse(2024) LAURA DE ANDRADE KARPUSKA SANTOSArtigo de Periódico Noticioso Brasil gasta com pobres, mas não investe neles(2024) França, MichaelArtigo Científico Stakeholder Theory(2024) Beck, DonizeteStakeholder networks are an organizational and social phenomenon. Organizations are not alone, and managing stakeholders matters in strategic management. This encyclopedia entry aims: (1) to synthesize the theoretical thought behind the foundational publications; and (2) to introduce the main constructs, definitions, and approaches of Stakeholder Theory. In doing so, it explores the definition of stakeholder theory including; the normative, descriptive, and instrumental pillars; the convergent and divergent stakeholder theory debate; the difference between stakeholder issues and social issues; stakeholder salience (power, urgency, legitimacy, and proximity); mutual trust as instrumental value of ethical behavior; stakeholder influence strategies (withholding, usage, direct, and indirect); stakeholder value creation; and stakeholder capitalism.Artigo Científico Stakeholder Theory(2024) Beck, DonizeteStakeholder networks are an organizational and social phenomenon.

In the late 1990s, South America began a process of financial sector reforms, which included in almost all countries the liberalization of interest rates (instead of capping) and the elimination of direct credit allocation mechanisms. By hypothesis, it is expected that the greater the economic freedom, the lower the degree of financial regulation. This would reduce the transaction costs of financial institutions and contribute to reducing the banking spread (assuming constant credit risk). The traditional methodology is applied here, complemented by unit root and cointegration tests, in addition to impulse-response function analysis, in the context of panel autoregressive vectors (VAR). The results show that economic freedom and monetary credibility (component area of the EFW, Economic Freedom of the World index) negatively affect the value of the spread, with long-run effects as well.Artigo Científico Performance Measurement in a Brazilian Clinical Trials Unit(2021) Aquino, Thomaz Martins de; Bonizio, Roni Cleber; Padua, Silvia Ines Dallavalle de; Coelho, Eduardo Barbosa; Faustino, Gabriela GimenezBackground: There is growing interest on costs of clinical trials; critical topic for business decision making; therefore, the aim of this work is to identify how a successful Brazilian case measures its economic performance even with restriction regarding its accounting data. Methods: Single case qualitative method. Interviews with four people of different hierarchical levels and the analysis of the 2005 balance sheet, payrolls and payment slips were carried out. Results: Besides indicating how the clinical research unit of the case measures its results, a diagram of how other units and organizations could follow such procedure to carry out their own performance measurement was pointed out as well. Conclusion: The use of contribution margin and break-even point for the performance calculation benefited the managerial decision-making of the unit studied, serving as basis for its own strategy and use of its idleness. This is a reference model for decision-making of managers in other research units.Artigo Científico Agency Conflicts Between Controlling and Minority Shareholders in the Distribution of Dividends in Brazilian Companies(2022) Kuronuma, Cleiton Ricardo; Okimura, Rodrigo Takashi; Sale, George Andre WillrichObjective: This paper aims to investigate whether the dividend policy is influenced by the shareholding concentration of publicly traded companies in Brazil. Methodology: This research was elaborated through panel regression analysis empirical tests, considering the period from 2013 to 2016. Originality/ Relevance: In Brazil, shareholding is usually concentrated in a small number of shareholders. In this scenario, controlling shareholders often end up having a great influence on management. As a result, agency conflicts may arise (Dalmácio & Corrar, 2007), mainly because controlling shareholders, who have the right to vote, are not always the holders of the preferred shares, which also share dividends (Lopes & Walker, 2008). Thus, according to the Agency Theory, the possibility could be raised of the principal - the controlling shareholder aiming to maximize its individual utility (Martinez, 2001). Main Results: It was verified that there is a positive relationship between the shareholding concentration and the distribution of dividends, that is, the higher the shareholding concentration, the greater the dividend distribution. Contributions: For this research, it were used statistical tests utilizing the panel data regression technique and estimators of Weighted Least Square (WLS), in which were observed the results of the regressions of the total sample (1.440 observations) and four industry sectors, which showed evidence that, there is at least one variable with a statistically significant power (non-cyclical consumption, financial, health, and information technology).Artigo Científico Situated rationalities in response to institutional complexity: the role of management accounting practices(2024) Oliveira, Fabiano Siqueira de; Mendonça Neto, Octávio Ribeiro de; Oyadomari, Jose Carlos Tiomatsu; Wanderley, Claudio de AraújoPurpose – This study aims to explore how management accounting practices act as drivers of organizational change in situations of institutional complexity. Design/methodology/approach – A case study was carried out in a small company with a strongly rooted social culture, which was acquired by a large conglomerate and underwent a process of strategic change as part of a new control logic. Based on this, the study analyzes the evolution of this change, with a particular focus on the efforts to construct the meaning of the performance through the inscription of objects from the cultural system to which it is attached and the “situated rationality” of the managers who are involved in its production. Findings – The authors show how managers link their own concepts of performance to accounting practices. At the same time, the authors show how accounting practices unfold through representational gaps that their production generates. Research limitations/implications – This study acknowledges that bias may arise from reliance on retrospective views of past processes and events, gathered primarily through interviews, documentation and observations. Practical implications – This study highlights that the way in which the performance concept is presented by accounting practices can have a constructive effect on the organization through the aspirations that its representations entail, thus having the potential to stimulate change in organizations. Originality/value – This study contributes to the organizational literature by clarifying that accounting practices drive change by providing spaces for debates and questions that affect the way organizations understand and report their performanceArtigo Científico Validação de modelos de machine learning por experimentos estatísticos de campo(2024) Toaldo, Alexsandro; Vallim Filho, Arnaldo Rabello de Aguiar; Oyadomari, José Carlos Tiomatsu; Mendonça Neto, Octavio Ribeiro deObjetivo – Este artigo apresenta uma aplicação prática com o desenvolvimento de um experimento estatístico de campo em uma indústria de latas premium de alumínio nos Estados Unidos, visando validar estatisticamente resultados de modelos de machine learning (ML), previamente construídos. Metodologia: Usou-se conceitos de pesquisa intervencionista, que envolve experimentos de campo onde pesquisador e organização anfitriã atuam em conjunto buscando experimentar no sistema em estudo, e por meio da observação gerar conhecimento. Originalidade/Relevância: Sobre originalidade, não é frequente na literatura modelos de ML validados por experimento planejado de campo, seguido de análise estatística rigorosa. E a relevância da proposta se deve à sua contribuição para a literatura e pelas possibilidades de replicações do estudo em escala maior, na própria empresa ou em qualquer outra com desafios similares. Principais Resultados: Em fase anterior do estudo modelos de ML identificaram as variáveis de maior impacto em ineficiências (geração de sucata) em um processo de produção de latas de alumínio. Essas variáveis foram validadas nesta fase do estudo, através de experimento estatístico de campo, confirmando a significância estatística dos resultados do modelo de ML. Contribuições Teóricas e Práticas: A pesquisa contribui em termos práticos e científicos, pois a validação estatística de modelos de ML por experimentos planejados de campo é uma contribuição para a literatura de ciência aplicada, além de usas possibilidades práticas. Da mesma forma, apesar de amplamente utilizadas em diferentes áreas, pesquisas de cunho intervencionista ainda apresentam lacuna importante nas ciências sociais aplicadas, principalmente na gestão de processos industriais.Artigo Científico Implementing total quality management in a virtual organisation: thoughts and lessons from an interventionist approach(2024) Carneiro, Welington Norberto; Mendonça Neto, Octavio Ribeiro de; Oyadomari, Jose Carlos Tiomatsu; Dultra-de-Lima, Ronaldo GomesPurpose – This article aims to understand the challenges and key takeaways of implementing total quality management (TQM) in a virtual organisation. Design/methodology/approach – An interventionist research (IVR) methodology combined with a qualitative critical event analysis was used to evaluate the challenges and concerns faced during the company’s adoption of TQM and understand the roles of the key players involved. Findings – Standard process tools such as desktop procedures (DTP), focused teams, and service-level agreements (SLAs) were fundamental to implementing TQM in the company. These processes require the right leaders, but external agents may also be influential, acting as accelerators of change in adopting and using management practices in small companies. Indeed, the researcher acted as a problem solver, bringing innovative solutions to the firm using a hands-on iterative approach. Practical implications – This research underscores the importance of critical success factors (CSF), such as employee engagement, training, and project management tools. These factors are not just important but crucial for the success of TQM in organisations seeking to adopt the industry’s best practices. Originality/value – This study, conducted as a virtual IVR for TQM implementation, provides novel insights for practitioners and academics. It elucidates the pivotal role of some quality management tools in the journey towards TQM and the role of both internal and external critical players in the process, particularly in small virtual organisations based on innovative business models.
