Digital influencers who spread information about pop divas approach the deglamorization of their lives by paratextualizing activities carried out by them in their daily routines. Accordingly, this current study advocates that this deglamorization process points towards the “topification” of divas’ bodies, since it highlights their urgency to distance themselves from the utopianism required to keep their bodies as glamorized bodies. Thus, its aim is to analyze how Brazilian digital influencers paratextualize pop divas deglamorization process by subjecting influencers’ discourse to Foucault’s Discourse Analysis. The herein analyzed research file comprised news reports published on gossip blogs about pop divas. Results have evidenced two discursive formations: the first one refers to the formation and promotion of pop divas’ image and the second one reveals the support given to them. This result has shown that influencers paratextualize the deglamorization of pop divas by humanizing them.

This study aims to present the structure of export orientation research and clusters over 10 years of research. The bibliometric analysis was made up of 434 articles from the Scopus database. To analyze the extracted data, three bibliometric techniques were applied: Citation Analysis, Keyword Analysis, and Bibliographic Coupling. The results show an exponential increase in research on export orientation research. The study also revealed eight clusters based on publications from the last ten years. The main themes that emerged related to export orientation research include; Marketing performance and export orientation, firm’s productivity and efficiency orientation, local to global upgradation and export orientation, industrial policy, manufacturing and export orientation, technology as a stimulant for change, competitive strategy for export orientation, and value chain coordination. It allows the researcher to better understand the most common issues of the last 5 years and relate these issues to current problems in the international marketplace.

Changes in lifestyles and clothing consumption patterns as paths to a sustainable society defines sharing as one of the strategies of slow fashion. Through practice theories, this research explores materials, competences and meanings that make up the practice. Thus, we sought to identify how the elements and the dynamics of clothing sharing are configured. Using a qualitative case study, data were collected through observations, semistructured interviews (individual and group), and a focus group carried out with practitioners and providers of a collaborative store. Our results revealed that: (a) for practitioners, the practice of sharing means exclusivity, economy, and sustainable consumption; (b) for providers, the practice is linked to a conscious consumption as an opportunity for more sustainable business, including financially (c) and different materials guide the practice of sharing clothes. The elements of clothing sharing are similar between practitioners and providers; therefore, they indicate the effectiveness of the practice, in addition to pursuing sustainable consumption. The research then contributes to the development of research on sustainable consumption once it identifies management practices aimed at the collaborative consumption of clothing.

As mudanças nos estilos de vida e nos padrões de consumo de roupas, que vêm sendo debatidas como caminhos para uma sociedade mais sustentável, definem o compartilhamento como uma das estratégias do slow fashion para promover o consumo consciente. Por meio das teorias da prática, esta pesquisa explora materiais, competências e significados que compõem a prática. Assim, buscou-se identificar como se configuram os elementos e a dinâmica do compartilhamento de roupas. Utilizando um estudo de caso qualitativo, os dados foram coletados por meio de observações, entrevistas semiestruturadas (individuais e em grupo) e grupo focal, realizados com praticantes (consumidores) e provedores (fornecedores) de uma loja colaborativa. Os resultados revelaram que: (a) para os praticantes, a prática do compartilhamento significa exclusividade, economia e consumo sustentável; (b) para os provedores, a prática está atrelada ao consumo consciente como oportunidade de negócios mais sustentáveis, inclusive financeiramente; e (c) diversos materiais orientam a prática do compartilhamento de roupas. Os elementos do compartilhamento de roupas são semelhantes entre praticantes e provedores, portanto indicam a eficácia da prática, além de buscar um consumo sustentável. A pesquisa, então, contribui para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas sobre consumo sustentável, uma vez que identifica práticas de gestão voltadas ao consumo colaborativo de vestuário.

Several studies have thus far linked diverse organizational outcomes as antecedents to dynamic capabilities, with an emphasis on entrepreneurship, environmental dynamism, resources, knowledge management, organizational learning, and strategic planning. This study aims to fully assess how the model of strategic levers of control and dynamic capabilities framework are related, considering all conceptual dimensions and the profile of ITAIPU Binacional employees. The data was collected through a survey, and the hypotheses evaluated with the assistance of structural equation modelling, using the partial least squares estimation method. The findings validated the central hypothesis, that the levers of control do positively influence the presence of the dynamic capabilities, in addition to one other complementary hypothesis— that the interactive system also positively influences the ability to sense opportunities. The strategic levers of control can now be treated by organizations as possible sources of dynamic capabilities.

Vários estudos têm vinculado diferentes outcomes organizacionais como antecedentes às capacidades dinâmicas, sendo que se destacam o empreendedorismo, o dinamismo ambiental, os recursos, a gestão do conhecimento, a aprendizagem organizacional e o planejamento estratégico. O presente estudo tem por objetivo avaliar de forma completa, considerando todas as dimensões conceituais, como se relacionam o modelo das alavancas de controle estratégico e as capacidades dinâmicas, considerando o perfil dos empregados da ITAIPU Binacional. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um survey e as hipóteses avaliadas com o auxílio da modelagem de equações estruturais, empregando-se o método de estimação por mínimos quadrados parciais. Os resultados obtidos validaram a hipótese central de que as alavancas de controle influenciam positivamente a presença das capacidades dinâmicas, além de uma das hipóteses complementares de que o sistema interativo influencia positivamente a presença da capacidade de sentir as oportunidades. As alavancas de controle estratégico podem ser tratadas agora pelas organizações como possíveis fontes de capacidades dinâmicas.
