Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This theoretical essay aims to understand the contributions of evolutionary economics to Strategy as Practice (SaP). In order to do so, we present the analytic categories derived from the evolutionary view, in particular the concepts of instincts, habits, enabling myths and emulation proposed by Veblen (1983), as well as the definitions of routines and skills, by Nelson and Winter (1982). Thus, the present theoretical essay complies with that established by Whetten (2003) for studies of this nature. From the approach of SasP, we analyze the adherence of the model proposed by Jarzabkowski, Balogun and Seidl (2007) to the evolutionary ideas. From this perspective, we elaborate three propositions (P): [P1] the notions of routines and emulation help in the understanding of the construct practices; [P2] authoritative instincts, habits and myths explain the concept of praxis in a given temporal and spatial context, given the embeddedness that these aspects exert in the context of organizational culture; [P3] Skills characterize practitioners in the process of strategizing, especially what, how and why they do, considering the micro level of analysis. Finally, a theoretical integrative model is presented for the field of organizational strategy.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

The life cycle of clothing becomes shorter as new trends emerge at lower prices, which may increase consumption and therefore discard apparels. The choice of disposal means - sell, give, customize and throw away - depends on attributes and motivations. The objective of this research is to identify the motivations and the attributes that influence the disposal of clothes. Online questionnaires were completed with 257 respondents and responses were analyzed through test of means and ANACOR. It was found that the environmental motivation is associated with the disposal of clothes.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This paper studies the process of management transference of the Tancredo Neves International Airport- Confins from public ownership to the private sector through concession. The auction notice and the concession contract were the main documents studied. Mainly, it is discussed the aspects of this airport concession that differentiate from the concession model stipulated in the Brazilian legislation. It is emphasized that the high value of granting in the auction is opposite of fare moderateness, transforming the concession in a manner that the State raises money and requires the private partner to invest in the aviation business as a whole. Other point is the corporate participation of Infraero, with 49% of the capital stock of the concessionaire, that has created a new model of concession, a hybrid that makes the Brazilian government spend and raise its resources in a concomitant manner. With this study it can be concluded that the concession of Confins Airport has many controversial aspects that should be discussed deeply in the academy and the society.

This article proposes a comparison between starting a business directly in the market in relation to open in an incubator and relate the costs involved in this process. For this, the theoretical framework presents the concepts of entrepreneurship, bureaucracy to start a businesses, businesses startup costs, business incubator and cost accounting. Seeking to confront theory with practice, a survey of the type case study was carried out within a business incubator, the Centro Regional de Inovação e Transferência de Tecnologia (CRITT) of the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF). The results of the survey together with the theoretical basis explored aim to make this study an aid tool for individuals who have an innovative idea and that aims to start a business and become entrepreneurs.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a relationship between personal values, entrepreneurial attitude and entrepreneurial intention in undergraduate students, comparing the North American model proposed by Watchravesringkan et al. (2013). Using as a basis the North American model, a quantitative and descriptive research was conducted with undergraduate students in business administration (n = 204) from two Brazilian educational institutions in Rio Grande do Sul (one public and one private). Structural equation modelling was used to validate and test the hypotheses of the model. Results pointed that personal values positively influenced the entrepreneurial attitude (R = 0.152) and entrepreneurial attitude strongly impacted the entrepreneurial intention (R = 0.773) of the students. The cognitive model of decision-making initially proposed and tested in the United States, and later adapted and applied to Brazilian students through this research, contributes to the empirical validation of instruments that measure entrepreneurial values, attitude and intention, and can be an effective alternative to predict intentions in pursuing an entrepreneurial career in undergraduate students.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This study has as central motivation the support to Micro and Small Enterprises (MSE) as regards as innovation, so that they can develop sustainable competitive advantages to face the challenges of current markets. Knowing that the innovative process of this segment has a greater dependence of articulation and integration with other organizations of ecosystem, to dynamize the innovation involves the dynamization of the ecosystem. Thus, the study aims to contribute with theoretical foundations to the dynamization of innovation in MSE via strategies of cooperative relationship. This theoretical foundation empathizes the intellectual capital as a production factor that can provide the necessary ways to reach sustainable competitive advantages. In summary, it is considered that to dynamize the innovation in MSE includes the articulation of intangible resources that contemplate, mainly, the human factor. After all, from this factor comes the potential to generate, transmit and apply the knowledge, the main subsidy of innovative practice. Therefore, by theorizing elements of relevance for S&T studies and for the socioeconomic development of the country, the study provides theoretical foundations that contextualize, provide and support the dynamization of innovation in MSE, serving as conceptual subsidy for empirical studies and projects in support to innovation in the segment.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of investments in technological innovation and the economically active population with the Brazilian gross domestic product between 2005 and 2015. Investments in innovation are synonymous with growth and productivity, and governments in many countries seek to develop guidelines that strategically guide these investments. However, the relationships between variables such as investment in innovation, economically active population and gross domestic product need to have their meanderings better understood and measured. In the methodology of the study was used the linear correlation and the multiple linear regression model through the software of statistical analysis SPSS. It has been found that each increment of one monetary unit in investment in technological innovation is associated with an increase of 24.69 units in gross domestic product. And for a one-unit increase in the rate of the variable economically active population, gross domestic product increases by an average of 0.024 units. The dynamics of the relationship between the variables observed in this study reveals with greater precision the relevant role of investments in innovation.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This article aims to study the practical contributions of studies of the Third Sector, that is, the partnerships that can be established with the public and private sectors, in order to suggest similar actions for social managers. Although these studies have already been developed on the subject, little has been done about the contributions and practical applications of these studies to the managers of these organizations. Was conducted a literature review, the survey of these contributions, the categorization of these and subsequent analyzes. The main results showed 97 practical contributions to the management of social organizations, since they can be used by other institutions of the sector. From these contributions, actions based on the following categories were suggested to social managers: opportunities, challenges, critics, citizens, legal and economic. In the end, though, have been proposed analysis parameters contemporaries in order to permeate these partnership relationships among the organizations of the three sectors mentioned.
