Abstract This paper analyzes the effects of board capital as a corporate governance mechanism on firm performance in the context of a weak legal regime for investor protection. The study focuses on Latin America as a representative emerging market that includes a dataset of 442 firms in six countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru) from 2001 to 2012. We measure board capital as a composite index of directors’ educational attainment and professional experience. We find a positive relationship with differential effects between board capital and firm performance within weak firm internal governance schemes such as firms with low board independence, dual roles as firm CEOs and COBs, and low blockholder contestability. With respect to country-level governance standards, we find that improvements in the country’s regulatory quality, the rule of law, and corruption control reduce the need for firm board capital as an internal governance mechanism.

Abstract China and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are now key players in global research production. This study presents a comparative study on research on innovation in management and decision sciences based on data from Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) between China and LAC. Findings showed significant differences between regions regarding journals’ citation-dependent measures, and between the number of authors and journal reputation. Public universities have been leading producers. China showed a particular interest in research topics such as commerce and industry, while LAC was strongly interested in sustainable development and biotechnology.

Abstract The purpose of this manuscript is to identify the contribution of knowledge management practices for developing dynamic capabilities in a service sector company. For this case study, the dataset comprised ten interviews with company employees and managers and was analyzed using a pattern-matching technique based on the literature. The main findings were that the company mapped its organizational actions in each process of knowledge management, which was the basis for the development of its dynamic capabilities. The development of such capabilities enabled the company to analyze possible applications and improve the existing routines.

Abstract This study presents a model to measure the relationships between leadership, communication, and resistance to change, and company performance. The model was applied to five service companies (352 employees) located in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The data were treated by structural equation modeling using the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The results show that communication positively influences organizational performance. Resistance to organizational and individual changes, however, negatively influences organizational performance. Leadership does not directly influence performance, but acts as a mediator of resistance levels in change processes, affecting organizational performance.

Abstract Online electronic marketplace platforms, a business model that connects buyers with sellers through an intermediary, are steadily growing in Brazil. This research seeks to investigate the importance of the reputation of third-party sellers and its effects on consumers' perceptions of risk and trust; we also assess the consequent impacts on purchase intention within the e-marketplace platform. Data was collected via a survey of 309 respondents and tested through structural equation modeling. All proposed hypotheses were confirmed. The results point to the third-party seller's reputation negatively affecting the perception of risk and positively affecting trust in the third-party seller and the intermediary store. Consequently, trust in the intermediary store seems to negatively influence perceived risk, while positively affecting purchase intention. Implications for practice include suggestions for firms that operate in the e-commerce sector. In order to optimize their efforts in e-marketplaces, online retailers should (a) focus on improving the management of third-party sellers and their reputation systems to promote transparency and interactivity and (b) constantly invest in branding, customer service, training, and communicating with third-party sellers. Also, firms must understand that the transfer of trust to third-party sellers raises consumer repurchase intentions and makes e-businesses sustainable.

Abstract This paper analyses how collaborative practices influence sustainability initiatives and the relational rents of Brazilian coffee companies supplying global supply chains (GSC)s. Multi-case study data was collected via interviews and documentary analysis and examined using the relational view theoretical lens. The results indicate that collaborative practices lead to significant improvements within the supplier’s sustainability initiatives and consequently within their processes related to the exportation of goods. Thus this study suggests that collaborative practices generate important relational rents in GSCs (for example through relationship-specific assets) and are important facilitators of sustainability for emerging economy suppliers.

Abstract We analyzed the relationship between earnings management and the cost of debt using a sample of 3,503 Brazilian privately held companies. In doing so, we discuss the fundamentals of earnings management and the specific economics of privately held companies in Brazil and then hypothesize how these relationships come about. Our proxies for earnings management were modified Jones and modified Jones with ROA (return on assets). We then ran their residuals as explanatory variables for the cost of debt. Our findings point to the importance of earnings quality in privately held companies and the impact of earnings management on the cost of debt, suggesting that the higher the levels of earnings management, the higher the cost of debt, even when controlling by other variables that can influence this relationship. Our findings may also serve to encourage privately held companies to concern themselves with the quality of accounting earnings and inhibit earnings management practices that could increase their cost of debt.

Abstract Social enterprises pursue social and economic goals simultaneously, but little is known about how they start an exporting strategy, especially if they are from emerging markets. We examined the determinants of exports of 522 emerging markets social enterprises (EMSEs) from Colombia. Based on a quantitative approach, our results show that EMSEs leverage their resources to start export operations if, in addition to capital, they leverage their structural and experiential resources. Structural resources include externally validated accounting and financial books, process certifications, and exposure in trading shows; experiential resources include the firm’s staff having primary education.

Abstract This study (1) identifies motivations for using social networks (SNs) and (2) tests an integrative model. A systematic literature review was conducted followed by mixed-method research. Technology, social, and individual domains of SNs motivators were identified. The qualitative stage of the research supported the selection of the variables to be tested, and the survey tested these motivations with a sample of 468 respondents. As a result, a new model highlighting the main motivations for using online social networks emerged. Competition and Collective Narrative are new constructs that explain social media use, together with Escapism, Information, Identity, and Socialization.
