Foi utilizada a estrategia de investimentos de Lopes e Galdi (2007), para separar as empresas no mercado de acoes em alto e baixo Score e analisar se apresentavam retornos anormais positivos. Utilizou-se tambem o embasamento teorico de Kanagaretnam et al. (2007), Galdi (2008) e Kahyaoglu e Bozkus (2010), os quais afirmam que a utilizacao da analise fundamentalista pode proporcionar retornos anormais mais altos para empresas com baixo nivel de governanca corporativa, uma vez que a assimetria informacional e maior nas empresas com nivel mais baixo de governanca comparativamente a empresas com alto nivel de governanca corporativa. Estudaram-se 320 empresas listadas na BM&FBovespa, das quais 47 empresas compuseram o ISE no periodo de 2005 a 2011. Por meio de uma pesquisa empirica, foi utilizada analise de regressao em pooled e em painel. Os resultados encontrados mostram uma relacao positiva entre o retorno anormal e a interacao entre o alto BrF_Score e empresas que nao compoem o ISE, confirmando que a contabilidade pode ajudar na busca de carteiras de acoes mais lucrativas entre empresas com baixo nivel de governanca.

To achieve this objective, a survey with 1.572 inhabitants of the state of Rio Grande do Sul was done. Based on the answers to the survey, a confirmatory factor analysis was used to build the financial attitude and financial behavior constructs. Next, the financial knowledge construct was calculated. 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.

This study proposes a model to measure international performance that contributes to reduce some of these gaps. The proposed model was tested with 190 Brazilian companies. It has been used exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and structural modeling equation to evaluate the data and the model.

The theoretical background involves: first, culture and consumption are represented by symbolic production and cultural reproduction, second, the innovation adoption that is categorized into early and late, third, the innovation intensity that is categorized into radical and incremental. A total of 390 low-income consumers were surveyed and the data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling. The results show that early adopters prefer radical innovations instead of the incremental one, favoring those products that have higher sophistication and technology. On the other hand, late adopters prefer incremental innovations, because they are more cautious and uncertain about the risks that innovation can cause.

Adopting an integrative perspective, research on the process of organizational learning must take into account the cognitive, behavioral and social aspects that support and enable the understanding of the phenomenon, as well as the assimilation of levels of analysis in which learning can occur. Analyzing and operationalizing the concept of organizational learning process, relating it to rare events, seems to be a viable alternative to enhance the processes of change in the way organizations and understand the dynamics by which new routines are formed and new knowledge base is created, used and institutionalized, which confirms the adoption of integrative perspective. The conceptual model can reveal, in simplified form, the complex process by which organizations learn when they can review their repertoire of responses in order to improve their performance. The repertoire of responses means the set of routines, habits, roles (potential or realized) taken for granted and that are able to reformulate when influenced by a singular event.

In this article, we considered as social responsibility criteria actions in health, environment and safety (HES) and management used by Petrobras in supplier selection. The research is a qualitative study of multiple cases, and the units of analysis are the companies Alpha, Beta and Gamma. The main results indicate that, in the aspect of social responsibility, Petrobras influences the companies studied differently. It can be seen that the Petrobras’ criteria for HSE and managerial influence superficially management practices of suppliers in business research. Companies Alpha and Beta have a coercive isomorphic behavior, while Gamma has no framework in the isomorphic categories because its performance was developed independent from the relationship with Petrobras. Finally, it is believed that if Petrobras intended to disseminate the practices present in its criteria for HES and management along the supply chain, this public firm needs to reconsider its selection process on issues aimed at improving the scope of the requirements in addition to how it directs the propagation of these guides along the supply chain.

The study is as a descriptive-explanatory research using the quantitative approach guided by the adapted Barth et al. (2008) model to estimate the level of earnings management. The study analyzed 143 Brazilian companies and 30 Portuguese companies taken from the website of Thomson Financial Worldscope and analyzed them in two different periods – post and pre-convergence. The data analysis was performed using multivariate statistical techniques, panel data analysis, logistic regression, variance ratio test and spearman correlation (rho). The results of the four earnings management measures were not statistically significant to attest the effect of international accounting standards issued by the IASB on earnings management levels in the post-convergence period.
