Purpose – The purpose of this study was to analyze the network structure of automotive companies linked by cross-shareholding, joint ventures, manufacturing contracts and alliances, from 2004 to 2012. The study also explored how the network structure affects the competition in the field. Design/methodology/approach – The sample involved 3695 dyads. Based on this data, it was possible to build and assess networks using Gephi and UCINET software. The study considered network analysis metrics such as centrality, group and network densities temporally. Thus, associated with a contextual and longitudinal analysis, the construction of sociograms allowed visualization of the interactional structure and the automakers’ position in the field. Findings – Results showed that the internationalization and growth of automakers and suppliers are made possible through these relationships among companies (cross-shareholding, joint ventures, manufacturing contracts and alliances). Connections may generate greater power, access to resources and market opportunities. It also enhanced the elaboration of inferences about how these resources influence the competition in the field. Originality/value – The increasing importance of this relational resource shapes the industry competitive structure, which is composed of cooperative and competitive relationships found in meso-level orders.

Purpose – This study investigated the configuration of human and non-human actor networks that are formed in the process of specialized accounting inspection from the Actor-Network Theory perspective. Design/methodology/approach – The population of the survey comprised 593 accounting experts registered in Expert Associations from the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais, Parana, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul and Sao Paulo, and the sample is made up of 102 valid questionnaires. Five judges and five accounting experts from Curitiba (state of Parana) were also interviewed. Through Structural Equation Modeling, the translation process indicated statistical significance, except in the relationship between human accounting actors, nonhuman actors and problematization. Findings – Based on this research, we concluded that the establishment of networks in the field of specialized accounting inspection depends on numerous translations between agents, since they have an impact on the performance of activities and the stabilization of relationships. The quality of the expert report and technical report and the competence of accounting experts were pointed out as performance indicators. Accounting experts and accounting experts assistant’s experience, the period of experience and the relationship with judges were identified as drivers of stable and lasting relationships between specialized accounting inspection actors. Originality/value – The study is relevant given the lack of research involving the Actor-Network Theory and accounting, particularly Accounting Inspection, both nationally and internationally. Therefore, contribute to investigate how the actors interact, create and modify relationships, through the perception of accountants and judges.

Purpose – This article diagnoses the relationship between the value priorities of board members in Brazil and their companies’ identities trending towards stakeholders or shareholders. The paper tested five hypotheses referring to the fact that board members of profitoriented companies are more individualistic, while board members of stakeholder-oriented companies tend to be more collectivist. Design/methodology/approach – A survey was carried out through the Schwartz (1992) values inventory with 74 board members in Brazil. The Brazilian Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) was considered a proxy for stakeholder orientation. The Mann-Whitney test was used in order to verify if the two independent samples were drawn from populations with equal averages. Findings – In partial consonance with previous research, the board members of stakeholder-oriented companies – those participating in the Corporate Sustainability Index – held less individualistic values. However, for individualistic motivational types, only Stimulation and Hedonism were more frequent in companies not participating in the ISE index. Originality/value – This result amplifies the predictive power of individual values and complements the work of Adams, Licht and Sagiv (2011), which experimentally studied the same relationship within individual choices and in a controlled situation. This article enhances the theory by incorporating the organizational level into the debate. The results suggest that other factors also influence pro-shareholder or pro-stakeholder corporate orientation.

Purpose – This study aims to analyze the impact of the different ways in which organizational members perceive and experience valuing of knowledge within the work context on its subsequent embedding into organizational routines. Design/methodology/approach – The phenomenographic method was applied, using in-depth semi-structured interviews for data collection. The intentional sample comprised twenty-two human resource professionals. Findings – The structural context, which the organization is part of, creates the social and spatial context that shapes a structuring pattern. This pattern establishes the way people consider knowledge of value and act to embed it into organizational practices and routines. Originality/value – The study reveals the relevance of contemporary organizational structures and forms – cooperatives, hybrid and social business; holacratic or entrepreneurial models; collaborative or partnership networks for innovation – that promote the use and embedding of individual knowledge into organizational routines and practices.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate creativity as an intermediate variable existing within the relationship between entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurial alertness. Design/methodology/approach – This is a quantitative research using a moderated mediation model. A questionnaire is used and the analyses are performed with the answers from 244 people with at least 3 years of professional experience and graduate business studies. The discriminant validity of the variables is revised and a hierarchical regression analysis is performed for the hypotheses test. Findings – Significant relations are obtained with which a positive relationship between entrepreneurial passion and creativity can be confirmed, as well as a positive relationship between creativity and entrepreneurial alertness. However, the results also reported that creativity partially mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurial alertness. Originality/value – The contribution of this research lies on showing empirical evidence of the link between entrepreneurial passion, creativity, and entrepreneurial alertness through the use of measurement scales recently developed. It also presents creativity as an intermediate variable in the entrepreneurial passion-alertness relationship.

Purpose – This study set out to measure the perceived Advertising Value of Twitter ads on a large sample of Mexican Millennials. Design/methodology/approach – An online survey was used to collect data among 630 university students. The hypothesized antecedents of Advertising Value were Informativeness, Entertainment, Irritation and Credibility. The model was estimated using Partial Least Squares. Findings – Results indicate Informativeness and Entertainment were the strongest predictors, with Credibility in third place. In addition, Credibility displayed gender effects: it was significant for female respondents but not for males. Irritation failed to reach statistical significance in most subsamples, suggesting Twitter ads are more acceptable to Millennials than other advertising formats. Originality/value – Millennials tend to dismiss traditional advertising formats. At the same time they are heavy users of Social Networking Sites. This research provides the first empirical estimation of the Ducoffe model of Advertising Value in the microblogging service Twitter, and the first application of this robust model of web advertising to a Latin American sample. Our results have important implications for both regional and global brands targeting Millennials.

Purpose – This paper seeks to examine the relationship between the determinants of organizational performance such as top management support, customer focus, employees’ orientation, technology orientation, and entrepreneurial orientation in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach – A quantitative research design was applied for this study. Data was collected through survey questionnaires applied to business owners and senior managers working in SMEs located in three Malaysian states, using purposive sampling technique. SmartPLS 2.0 (M3) was applied to test the hypotheses. Findings – The findings suggest that both technology and entrepreneurial orientations are significant success factors for SMEs in terms of financial and non-financial performance. In addition, top management support is found to be significantly and positively related to financial performance. Originality/value – The empirical analysis indicates that technology orientation and entrepreneurial orientation add more value to organizational performance. Therefore, it is vital for SMEs to focus on these two critical success factors in order to improve their performance.

Purpose – The main purpose of this paper is to analyze (1) the relationship between a firm’s exploration strategy and its innovative performance, and (2) whether its absorptive capacity (AC) moderates this relationship. Design/methodology/approach – We adopted an econometric approach, using secondary data. We synchronized two databases – Compustat and USPTO –, from which we extracted common data concerning 275 biopharmaceutical firms for the period between 1990 and 2003. We used negative binomial regression to analyze data. Findings – The exploration strategy positively influences firms’ innovative performance. However, excessive emphasis on this strategy can diminish its benefits. Moreover, a firm’s AC will not positively moderate the curvilinear relationship between exploration and the firm’s innovative performance in all contexts, contradicting our theoretical predictions. This is due to the existence of trade-offs between AC characteristics and other organizational factors. Originality/value – This paper extends the understanding of Open Innovation and AC theories. Our results suggest that AC cannot be understood as a one-dimensional and autonomous capacity located exclusively in R&D departments. Aspects such as financial power, the business model and the different dimensions of AC and their respective locations in the firm’s value chain should be considered whenever the influence of AC on exploration strategies is analyzed.

Purpose – The main purpose of this paper is to discuss some key variables to be taken into consideration in an organizational context when designing reward systems focused on maximizing product innovation. In addition to identifying such variables, the paper aims to understand how each of them can influence this design. Design/methodology/approach – Based on existing literature, a reference chart was created using context variables (organizational strategy, type of innovation, beliefs and cultural traits, and previously established systems of goals and rewards) and their implications on the reward system design. A field research was conducted through qualitative interviews with five specialists, consultants, and scholars in strategic human resource management and reward systems, as well as case studies on four large-scale industrial companies known for being innovative. Findings – The research has shown that little knowledge has been accumulated by specialists as well as by designers of reward systems at organizations operating in Brazil concerning the issue studied. Moreover, the four main previously listed variables were maintained, and the field research allowed a series of analyses that changed relevant aspects of the details of that chart. Originality/value – This paper can contribute to fulfill the gap existing in literature on the reward system design, and proposes a reference chart that can assist the designer in elaborating it.

A field research was conducted through qualitative interviews with five specialists, consultants, and scholars in strategic human resource management and reward systems, as well as case studies on four large-scale industrial companies known for being innovative. Findings – The research has shown that little knowledge has been accumulated by specialists as well as by designers of reward systems at organizations operating in Brazil concerning the issue studied. Moreover, the four main previously listed variables were maintained, and the field research allowed a series of analyses that changed relevant aspects of the details of that chart. Originality/value – This paper can contribute to fulfill the gap existing in literature on the reward system design, and proposes a reference chart that can assist the designer in elaborating it.","PeriodicalId":45001,"journal":{"name":"Rbgn-Revista Brasileira De Gestao De Negocios","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2016-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.7819/RBGN.V18I60.2822","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71251086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
