However, the competitive context formed by the novelty of the category and the brand market structure may hinder the assimilation of positioning and its association with the pre-existing image. This study assesses the effectiveness of positioning statements in the generation of brand awareness, considering its competitive context. Using an experimental design, with a group of control, the exposure of brands and their competitive contexts were manipulated and the positioning statement remained constant for a sample of consumers. The results show the positioning statement had an effect on both assimilation of the message and valence of image association, which adds awareness to the brand, but only for the traditional category. The effectiveness on the message assimilation occurred within the weak brand and within the less known median brand. For the image valence, it occurred only between the weak brand and the strong one from the traditional category. These findings are distinct among consumer segments. The research brings up a classic theme, but presents a new methodological approach to measure the effectiveness of brand positioning.

Boas declarações de posicionamentos geram efeitos no conhecimento da marca pelos consumidores. Entretanto, o contexto competitivo formado pela novidade da categoria e da estrutura de mercado das marcas podem dificultar a assimilação do posicionamento e sua associação à imagem previamente existente. O estudo avalia a efetividade da declaração do posicionamento na geração do conhecimento da marca, considerando seu contexto competitivo. Utilizando delineamento experimental, com grupo controle, manipulou-se a exposição de marcas e seus contextos competitivos e manteve-se constante a declaração do posicionamento para uma amostra de consumidores. Verificou-se que a declaração do posicionamento gerou efeito tanto na assimilação da mensagem quanto na valência da associação da imagem, agregando ao conhecimento da marca, mas apenas para a categoria tradicional. A efetividade na assimilação da mensagem ocorreu intra a marca fraca e intra a marca mediana, pouco conhecida. Para a valência da imagem, a efetividade ocorreu apenas entre a marca fraca e a forte da categoria tradicional. Esses achados são distintos entre segmentos de consumidores. O trabalho traz à tona um tema clássico, porém apresentando uma nova abordagem metodológica para medir a efetividade do posicionamento da marca.

O objetivo deste estudo consistiu em avaliar, a partir da abordagem sociológica das profissões e estudos do campo da Administração, como as ações desenvolvidas pelo Sistema CFA/ CRAs1 contribuíram para a legitimação do corpo de conhecimentos da profissão do Administrador no Brasil. Para Abbott (1988), profissões correspondem a grupos profissionais exclusivos que aplicam o seu conhecimento abstrato a casos particulares. Morris (2002) e Morris, Crawford, Hodgson, Shepherd e Thomas (2006) afirmam que é justamente o reconhecimento do desenvolvimento de um corpo de conhecimentos cientificamente estabelecido um dos ativos mais importantes no reconhecimento da profissionalização de uma atividade. O estudo de natureza qualitativa contempla uma abordagem exploratória descritiva de corte longitudinal. A base de dados empíricos (primários e secundários) foi originada a partir do emprego das técnicas de análise documentos, entrevistas pessoais, questionários e depoimentos on-line. A análise dos dados transcorreu orientada pela categoria analítica Legitimação de Conhecimentos, apoiada respectivamente pelo emprego das técnicas de Análise Documental e de Conteúdo. Como principais resultados concluiu-se que o conjunto de ações desenvolvidas pelo Sistema CFA/CRAs contribuiu positivamente para a profissão do Administrador.

The purpose of the instrument is to capture general political behavior involving actions in self-benefit and behind-the-scenes maneuvers. The Portuguese version has undergone successive translations and semantic, cultural e conceptual adaptations. The samples came from the public sector (N = 137) and from the private sector (N = 122). The construct validity was verified by Principal Axis method of factor extraction and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The adapted scale proved to be easy to understand and with reliable structure and psychometric characteristics for future applications in the two researched segments. Preliminary descriptive statistics showed high perceptions of politics when compared to international studies, besides a more pronounced presence in the public sector. The product of this research contributes academically with the provision of an instrument of measurement for a scenario that, although historically described as political, lacks of quantitative approaches about organizational politics. As a practical contribution the scale may help in diagnoses and management actions that consider minimizing the negative effects that the POP brings to the working world.","PeriodicalId":30138,"journal":{"name":"Revista Eletronica de Ciencia Administrativa","volume":"28 1","pages":"197-212"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68187425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A descriptive and correlational research was done with quantitative approach. The sample is composed of 317 respondents. The results allowed us to confirm that individuals who are more impulsive tend to make impulse purchases more frequently, that is, they have difficulty controlling their buying impulses. In addition, and as a contribution to this research, products purchased impulsively are those compatible with the image of consumers that reflect who they are. The participants noted that they were attributed personalities to products purchased impulsively. The more the brand personality can identify with the consumer and his lifestyle, more products would be likely to be purchased impulsively.","PeriodicalId":30138,"journal":{"name":"Revista Eletronica de Ciencia Administrativa","volume":"9 1","pages":"151-166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68187790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to achieve such, a theoretical understanding matrix was proposed, which adds the practice notion of Practical Based Studies, and more specifically, the ethnomethodology, to the Weberian notions of ethos and social action, in order to understand what hybrid practices are. Through the epistemology of Practical Based Studies, of ethnomethodological method, and a qualitative approach, we conducted and recorded semi-structured interviews, informal conversations, and participant observations. Through analysis of ethnomethodological orientation, considering as analytical categories the notion of practice, member, language and meanings, we identified seven existing practices in the work context of popular culture organizations. Using the proposed theoretical understanding matrix, which has as analytical categories the notions of ethos and social action, several hybridisms have been identified in each practice, mainly because some practices have ethos in whose orientation is essentially traditional, but financial resources are necessary for the maintenance of these practices, resulting in the need to elaborate cultural projects, official documents, laws, etc., for specific purposes. Responses to the hybridisms have been observed, among them, the action of the leaders of popular culture groups, who walk between the traditional and the modern ethos, using modern means to maintain the traditional, evidencing the existence of an interdependence between these elements. As the main contribution of the present research, we highlight the proposed multi and interdisciplinary approach in order to understand complex phenomena such as the work with popular culture.","PeriodicalId":30138,"journal":{"name":"Revista Eletronica de Ciencia Administrativa","volume":"16 1","pages":"127-150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47079654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
