This study aims at understanding why Brazilian management scholars write in co-authorship, what contributions it guarantees and which criteria and practices are used to order authorship in the articles. Given the evidence that the majority of articles are written in co-authorship, this study contributes to understand the reality of Management at university as to what drives researchers to write in co-authorship. The data used were collected through a survey from a sample of 171 respondents that published in Brazilian journals of Management, and subject to descriptive statistical analyses. This study contributes to the current debate on the pressures to publish and the co-authorship ties in Management. With the co-authorships the researchers search to pool together complementary competences and knowledge and increase the number and quality of the articles. Effective collaboration in co-authorship is what researchers value and seek, perhaps given the greater perceived difficulty to publish in higher status journals, but the diversity of motivations that preside to the co-authorships permit to anticipate they will develop collaborative networks of research with high diversity. Keywords: co-authoring, co-authors, scientific publications, publishing, collaborative research, Management.

This paper seeks to analyze the Assurance of Learning (AoL) system promoted as a requirement for the accreditation process of the American Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), which validates the quality of management and accounting courses at international level. The AoL system seeks to inquire students learning and experiences, based on the institutional mission, learning objectives and strategies established by the course stakeholders. Taking into account the current importance of learning and student experience on higher education, instituithis research seeks to describe the main characteristics and operationalization of the AoL by means of a qualitative documental and bibliographic methodology based on scientific articles of the area between 2007-2016 and on documents produced by the AACSB agency. As a result, a detailed description of AoL and its stages of operationalization reveals a systemic and active view of students learning, while it provides a double-loop organizational learning process for course management. Keywords: accreditation, American accreditation system, AACSB, assurance of learning .

In 2006, new maximum levels for the concentration of dioxins (PCDD/F) and dioxin-like PCB (dl-PCB) in food entered into force in the European Union [Regulation (EC) No 199/2006]. The Swiss Confederation decided to adopt these values from the 1 January 2009 on (RS 817.021.23). A previous appraisal showed that beef from extensive production systems in Switzerland may exceed the new maximum level of 4.5 pg WHO97-TEQ·g-1 fat. In order to identify the reasons of the presence of dioxins (PCDD/F) and dioxin-like PCB in Swiss beef, a detailed survey was conducted on eight farms in 2008. Depending on the production system, on each farm several suckler cows and their calves or fattening bulls and heifers were selected and followed over several months. Samples of soil, milk, forages, concentrates and meat were taken and analyzed according to standard protocols. The sum of PCDD/F and dl-PCBs in soil averaged 1.4 pg WHO97-TEQ·g-1 dry matter (DM) across all farms. The mean value found in feed samples was 0.25 pg WHO97-TEQ·g-1 feed (88% DM), which is considerably lower than the legal maximum level of 1.25 pg WHO97-TEQ·g-1 feed. The mean value of milk from suckler cows was 2.75 pg, and the one of milk from dairy cows was 2 pg WHO97-TEQ·g-1 fat. Although two individual beef samples (out of 36) slightly exceeded the legal limit of 4.5 pg WHO97-TEQ·g-1 fat, the mean value of all beef samples was 2.3 pg WHO97-TEQ·g-1 fat. The results did not allow to establish direct relationships between the presence of contaminants in feeds and milk or beef and they showed that variation in PCDD/F and dl-PCB contamination of meat within the same farm was very high. It can be concluded that the situation in Switzerland seems not to be alarming and that no particular measures have to be taken. Nevertheless farmers should be aware that extensive production coupled with absence of delay between weaning and slaughtering may induce some risk for producing non compliant beef.

Studies on risk decision making were based on Expected Utility Theory (TUE). However, empirical evidence from behavioral finance has shown that individuals commit biases in the decision- -making process, so that decisions are not always aimed at optimizing wealth. Aiming to contribute to the development of this theme, this research analyzed the relationship between personality traits and behavioral biases from a near-experiment with 174 Brazilian postgraduate students. The results of the research indicate that two personality traits (conscientiousness and affability) have a significant and positive relationship with the bias ‘misconception of probability’, while only the trait of conscientiousness was related to the bias of the framework. Another relevant observation of this study is that the degree of instruction (masters or doctorates) was not related to the biases analyzed, indicating that these occur independently from the postgraduate level of the individuals. These results, in addition to collaborating with the development of the topic, are useful for investors to be aware that their personal characteristics make them more susceptible to heuristics (mental shortcuts). Keywords: limited rationale, Theory of Prospects, heuristics of judgment, decision biases.

Introduction. With increasing herd sizes and decreasing workforce availability, precision livestock farming (PLF) is being developed in the dairy sector to facilitate herd monitoring. A desire to reduce the drudgery of repetitive tasks is another factor contributing to the adoption of PLF. This study, based on a review of the scientific literature, focuses on the impact of PLF on the profession and work organization of dairy farmers. Literature. Time savings are observed because robots and sensors take on recurrent physical tasks (milking, feeding) while simplifying the monitoring of animals (heat, health problems, etc.). Farmers appreciate the additional flexibility in organizing their work. The information provided can reduce the mental workload due to the anticipation of events (insemination, health problems). However, the mental workload can sometimes be increased due to the complexity of the information involved in managing the multiple alarms or alerts and equipment failures. The relationship between farmers and their animals is also modified. Conclusions. Precision livestock farming can have a positive impact on dairy farmers' work and can be attractive for young people. However, if the tools are not adapted to farmers' needs and skills, PLF can also lead to negative impacts on farmers and animals. It is therefore critical to consider the different dimensions of farmers' work to facilitate their adoption of these new technologies.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the role of innovation support agents (ISAs) in the development of new technology-based firms (NTBFs) from the perspective of information asymmetry among economic agents. It was performed a qualitative cross-case analysis about two business incubators, two business accelerators, and two science parks. According to the empirical data collected and posterior analysis it was found that ISAs contribute to the development of NTBFs in the following ways: distributing market information to them, reducing their search costs; enabling their social capital formation; borrowing reputation to them; reducing the search costs of market agents to access their NTBFs. Furthermore, these roles vary to the nature of the ISA investigated. Lastly, this research can be used as a reference by both, ISAs and NTBFs, regarding the development of the informational and social aspects of this latter. Keywords: information asymmetry, NTBFs, science parks, business incubators, business accelerators.

Intelligent systems have been used in different types of websites with the intention of creating personalized messages and understanding consumers’ needs more deeply. They are supposed to facilitate the decision-making process, make internet browsing easier and give users a sense of social feeling and personalization. So far, research in the field has focused attention on the positive aspects of using these systems. Little effort has been made, however, to try to recognize and correct situations in which they do not perform so well. This work is the result of an exploratory research destined to understand the broadness of the concept of failure in personalized environments as well as its antecedents and consequents. Based on the critical incident technique, we collected the opinion of 86 subjects in a multicultural environment and used their responses to elaborate a comprehensive framework of recommendation failure considering the different motivations for Internet use. Keywords: personalization, online shopping, recommendation agents, recommendation failure.

Nos processos de fusoes e aquisicoes de empresas, e fundamental que elas sejam avaliadas adequadamente, a fim de refletir o potencial em gerar resultados futuros. Dessa forma, a avaliacao torna-se uma ferramenta auxiliar na tomada de decisoes. Esta pesquisa, ao assumir o pressuposto de que o detentor de informacoes privilegiadas podera utilizar-se dessa vantagem para manipular o resultado da avaliacao, teve como objetivo analisar os fatores determinantes para a ocorrencia de erros no calculo do WACC nos laudos de avaliacao das OPAs realizadas entre 2011 a 2015. Para tanto, foi escolhido o metodo Probit para capturar a probabilidade de ocorrencia ou nao ocorrencia de erro no que se refere as variaveis economico-financeiras relacionadas a assimetria da informacao: nivel de governanca, risco, custo de capital e tamanho. Foram analisados 34 laudos, nos quais observou-se a ocorrencia de erros, a partir da classificacao proposta por Fernandez e Bilan (2007), com maior frequencia do erro do tipo 2. Identificou-se a presenca de significância estatistica apenas do tamanho da companhia para o erro do tipo 8, de 5%. Conclui-se que os erros identificados nos laudos de avaliacao podem ocorrer como eventos aleatorios, sem relacao direta com a empresa que o produz. Palavras-chave: laudos de avaliacao, erros, custo medio ponderado de capital.
