Clusters play an important role to improve development through associative organizational forms. Many factors contribute to clusters’ competitiveness (e.g. trust and collaboration among firms, and cluster governance). However, the literature about these factors is broad and their definitions vary according to different disciplines. Moreover, these factors were object of study in industrial settings. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to present a qualitative research instrument to analyze clusters’ competitiveness factors. The final instrument created is a continuity of the work published by Rigoni and Saccol (2012) and it was empirically tested it in a cluster of flower growers. Most of the competitiveness factors of our instrument stemmed from the literature, while others emerged from the field, contributing to foster the development of theory on clusters' competitiveness. This instrument has several applications, such as to qualitatively analyze the level of competitiveness of clusters, helping their members adopt a cluster approach, and assisting police makers to design more effective cluster development policies.

Given Brazil’s increasing economic development and Brazilian firms’ need to achieve competitive advantage, the validation of a scale for this concept in the Brazilian territory becomes relevant. This article aims to adapt and validate the scale of Flatten et al. (2011) in the Brazilian context. The scale was translated, adapted, evaluated by experts and subsequently tested in a sample of 495 companies in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, of different sizes, industry sectors and technological intensities. The method used was that of confirmatory factor analysis. Much of the sample presented the four dimensions of Absorptive Capacity developed, but some dimensions are more relevant to the development of technologies than others. The most developed variables are related to the importance of adopting new technologies and encouraging managers in the relationship between the departments. The scale was validated, indicating its consistency and adequacy to the South-Brazilian context. It also became clear that ACAP has four really different dimensions.

Thus, this research proposed the replication and testing of a theoretical model, considering the constructs: Perceived Value, Reputation of the Service Provider, Trust and Exchange Costs as determinants of Customer Retention. The method used was descriptive and quantitative, by means of the application of the same survey to two different contexts of service providers. The sample of Study 1 consisted of 269 client companies of the business health plan groups in the region of Caxias do Sul (RS). In Study 2 the sample of mobile telephony was made up of 471 customers of one operator. For data analysis, multivariate statistics were used, including Structural Equation Modeling, so that the hypotheses proposed in the study could be tested and analyzed. The results showed that the value perceived by customers positively influences the reputation of the service provider; the reputation of the service provider positively influences customer trust in the service provider and the reputation of the service provider positively influences customer retention. Moreover, it was found that the value perceived by customers does not positively influence the exchange costs in both environments investigated. Besides, it was evident that there are differences in the validation of some hypotheses because of the different contexts of services analyzed.

The results showed that accounting information has marginal implications for stock prices in all countries; however, the determinants of ERC vary along time and across countries as context-specific components. The results also show that (i) the nonlinear effects of unexpected earnings in ERC are a common trend in all evaluated countries but Russia; (ii) the negative earnings effects on ERC are documented in Brazil, India and Russia, whereas they do not hold true for China and South Africa; and (iii) only in China a significant effect of firm size is observed in the way market agents incorporate earnings information in the long run.

However, previous studies suggest that this issue is little understood and explored, in terms of identifying and organizing the content already developed, as well as in providing reflections and alternatives for its appropriation in the organizational environment. This work sheds light on these issues and aims at systematically mapping the international scientific production on collaboration in supply chain. Bibliometric methods were used by means of structured mapping and systematic analysis of publications found on the Web of Science – Social Sciences Citation Index (WoS-SSCI) database up to 2014. As a result, 173 were retrieved, which were published in 68 journals and written by 380 authors associated with 226 institutions of 32 countries. The bibliometric analysis allowed us to identify the journals that stand out because of the high count of citations and number of articles, which could be used as reference for future studies in this area; among them is the Supply Chain Management an International Journal. From the systematic analysis of highly cited papers and recent papers, we observed a predominance of quantitative studies using surveys and some using structural equation modeling. Based on the paper analysis, we identified some gaps and opportunities for future research. It thus follows that collaboration within the supply chains context is a relevant matter with increasing academic interest, which needs to be further studied for theoretical development and practical implications.

To achieve this objective, a survey with 1.572 inhabitants of the state of Rio Grande do Sul was done.

With these three constructs in hand, two clusters were obtained by means of cluster analysis. The first cluster represents individuals who have low financial literacy and the second one those who have high financial literacy. Based on the squared Euclidean distance in relation to the center of each cluster, the proposed indicator allows us to classify any individual as having low or high level of financial literacy. The results also suggest that the majority of respondents have a low level of financial literacy. Such findings ratify the urgent need to develop effective actions in order to reduce financial illiteracy and thus minimize the problems associated to it.

Regressions were applied considering the technique of Panel Data on a sample of 15 oil companies integrated and listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) during the period from 2001 to 2012, totaling 180 firms-year. Eight models were tested, each of them having the Naperian or natural logarithm (ln) of the average share price as dependent variable, considering the closing prices of November, December, January and February. Equity (PL), net income (LL), capitalized costs (CC), volume of gas and oil reserves (RPO&G), components of the change in reserve value, and discounted future cash flow (FCD) of the reserves were tested as independent variables. The results indicated that the market value of an oil company is a function of the PL variable and accounting information related to proven oil and gas reserves. This finding reinforces the idea that the accounting data are incomplete for determining the value of an oil company, and information related to proven oil and gas reserves contributes to increase the relevance of accounting variables measured at historical values. As a result, additional information in the notes on the oil reserves is relevant and necessary, besides traditional information already disclosed in the financial statements.
