In this discussion scenario, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are observed as a broad and necessary field for the use of the microfoundations of sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring, since they play a vital role in the global economy by fostering innovation and economic growth while, at the same time, facing restrictions in their operational and financial resources. When inserted in highly regulated sectors, the limitations of SMEs tend to intensify due to the need for compliance with specific standards and legislation, requiring continuous investments that considerably impact firms. The healthcare sector, particularly clinical laboratories, faces an environment characterized by high regulatory complexity and growing demand for quality, safety, and efficiency.This study aims to investigate the contribution of DCs to the performance of SMEs operating in highly regulated sectors, taking into account the constant evolution of the business environment and the requirements of adaptation to technological changes and strict regulations. Through qualitative research, using a multiple case study approach, the study sought to deepen the findings of the microfoundations that led to performance in laboratories by operationalizing the final categories identified. The results show that regulation, often perceived as an obstacle, is reinterpreted by the laboratories investigated as a strategic lever. Sensing presented the greatest contribution of the study, since from the perception of opportunities by managers, strategies could be designed, and resources reconfigured in the pursuit of performance in an agile and assertive way, favoring organizational longevity. Seizing and reconfiguring, although contributing to performance, are intertwined, making it difficult to identify when the laboratory designs the strategy and when it orchestrates, acquires, measures, or combines resources to implement it, which suggests the absence of specialized departments in SMEs.Therefore, the potential of this study revolves around the responsiveness that SMEs demonstrate through the use of DCs, bringing legitimacy to the role of accreditation and regulatory bodies in the sustainable development of firms through quality. This research has the capacity to share scientific knowledge both with the management sciences and with the health sciences literature, by means of the scientific evidence generated, since the final categories of the microfoundations can provide important tools for operationalization in contemporary laboratory management.

Digital Transformation (DT), driven by emerging innovations, is changing the dynamics, strategies, competitiveness, positioning, relationships and, above all, the Value Proposition (VP) of organizations. The most successful companies in the world are Business Models of Digital Platform Ecosystems, which makes it a contemporary phenomenon of growing interest, which presents gaps that are not yet understood, primarily related to VP. In addition, few studies have focused on Business Models of Digital Platform Ecosystems in developing countries and in the agribusiness sector. This thesis explores the complex dynamics of Business Models of Digital Platform Ecosystems in the context of TD, with the aim of analyzing how the process of creating, sharing and capturing value occurs in a financial sector Business Models of Digital Platform Ecosystems applied to agribusiness in an emerging market. To achieve this goal, a qualitative, deductive, exploratory, single-case study was carried out, analyzing an AgFintech, called “AgroFinX” in this study. Primary and secondary data were collected and analyzed using the content analysis technique. The main results identified that there are different levels of value co-creation, according to each complementor, with some actors co-creating more than others. Business Models of Digital Platform Ecosystems are future trends, with each organization seeking to create its own Business Models of Digital Platform Ecosystems for different audiences. Companies are participating in multiple ecosystems, in a coopetition format. Big players are partnering with smaller players in the quest for competitiveness and continuous value delivery. Regulations such as the LGPD and Banking Secrecy Act affect these MLs, influencing their VP and strategies. Business Models of Digital Platform Ecosystems are affected by external and contextual factors such as political, economic, climatic, geographical, infrastructural, socio-cultural and digital. In the agribusiness sector there are inherent barriers to the activity, which is complex and multifaceted and requires differentiated solutions.

Drawing on Regulatory Focus Theory, it is argued that consumers with a prevention orientation tend to react more intensely to negative brand-related stimuli, expressing hostile emotions and avoidance behaviors. Three experimental studies were conducted, combining self-reported measures with neurophysiological indicators obtained through EyeTracking and FaceReader. This multimethod approach enabled a more accurate capture of the cognitive and emotional processes underlying consumers’ negative reactions to brands, enhancing the understanding of nonverbal responses in consumption contexts. The results indicate that a prevention focus is associated with a higher propensity for brand hate, mediated by negative emotional reactions and unfavorable cognitive evaluations. The thesis contributes to the advancement of the literature on consumer emotions and brand management in crisis contexts, offering theoretical and practical insights for communication strategies and reputation damage mitigation.

Investigating how education can drive the smartness of cities is essential for creating more efficient, sustainable, and inclusive urban environments. Although its importance is widely recognized, the impact of quality education on the development of Brazilian smart cities is still an underexplored field. In this context, this research investigates how educational quality relates to the development of smart cities. The study employs General Systems Theory to analyze cities as complex, dynamic, and multidimensional systems and uses a panel data econometric model to empirically test this relationship. The model utilizes cross-sectional data (from 183 cities) and temporal data (from 2015 to 2023) to analyze the relationship between variables from different urban dimensions and the development of smart cities, considering the smart city ranking score as the dependent variable and educational quality as the variable of interest. To enhance robustness and reduce bias in the analysis, control variables were included in the model. First, control variables derived from the seven urban dimensions previously identified in the literature were used: natural environment, urban infrastructure, economy, people, governance, organizations, and technology & innovation. Then, to measure educational quality, eight education indicators were used as proxies: Enem score, average number of students per class, average daily class hours, age-grade distortion rate, approval rate, dropout rate, adequacy of teacher training, and regularity of the teaching staff. The results show that even when creating multiple panel models and adding new control variables, educational quality remains positive and significant for most quality indicators: a 1% increase in Enem scores indicates a 1.13% increase in city ranking scores; a 1% reduction in the age-grade distortion rate suggests a 0.106% increase in scores; while a 1% increase in school approval rates can raise city scores by 0.34%. The variables for the average number of students per class and average daily class hours, although significant in the initial models, lost significance as new variables were added. The variables for adequacy of teacher training and regularity of the teaching staff were not significant. Regarding the variables associated with urban dimensions, the results indicate that an increase in the number of doctors and a reduction in robbery-related homicides positively impact city development. The findings highlight the complexity of the interaction between education and urban development and indicate that the higher the educational quality, the greater the chances of a city developing as a smart space. The results also suggest that well-structured public policies should comprehensively address multiple dimensions of educational quality in urban development strategies. This study contributes to theory by exploring the effect of educational quality on the smart city index in Brazil. In terms of managerial contributions, this research provides important results for the creation of public policies focused on educational indicators. Future studies may expand the analysis by incorporating a greater number of educational and urban indicators. It is also suggested to investigate the long-term effects of quality education on urban development, particularly regarding the impact of new public policies on smart cities.

Using Design Science Research (DSR) methodology, the DTRA software was developed and validated to map risks associated with value destruction in Digital Transformation. The main findings highlight that, although digital transformation significantly enhances value creation capabilities through personalization and process optimization, it also increases the risk of value destruction due to reduced organizational control over value maintenance. The research identified critical points particularly in the stages of value proposition, communication, and delivery. Additionally, the artifact was validated through practical cases in the education and financial sectors, demonstrating its effectiveness in identifying these risks.

For this purpose, it was analyzed the case of Brazilian migrant STEM workers who have migrated to the United States (U.S.), using a qualitative research approach. Based on secondary data and semi-structured interviews with 41 Brazilian migrant STEM workers, the study analyzes how their personal and professional journeys impact human capital mobility and knowledge flows between U.S and Brazil. Brain drain has been a critical problem to the human capital development of emerging countries, whereas brain circulation offers a potential pathway to mitigate these human capital losses. The results reveal that brain drain and brain circulation are not mutually exclusive phenomena, but rather coexist in a complex manner. The research also identifies four mechanisms for knowledge flows across borders through migrant STEM workers: global networks; ethnic ties and personal connections; scientific and innovative collaboration practices; and diaspora communities. In several situations, informal and relational mechanisms enable knowledge flows, albeit in a non-institutionalized way. As a contribution, the study proposes an expanded theoretical understanding of human capital mobility by incorporating personal and relational dimensions, and recommends the development of public policies that build “bridges” between Brazil and their migrant STEM workers abroad.

To attract and retain actors while fostering interaction between them, PBEs use governance elements. As more participants enter the network and interact, more value is created and shared, so the governance aims to trigger this network effect. Fair governance will attract and retain participants. Otherwise, PBE participants leave, and value is not created and shared. Notwithstanding, we do not find any governance model for PBE based on justice. The question arises: Why do we need a justice-based governance (JBG) model for platform-based ecosystems (PBEs), and how should it be? We used a qualitative approach through multiple case studies with three delivery platforms: Rappi, the largest platform in Colombia; iFood, the largest platform in Brazil; and AppJusto, a platform that has been gaining prominence for its governance model with minors fees for restaurants and higher pay for couriers. Our data indicates that AppJusto is a fair platform overall. Nevertheless, we identify that couriers like to work in delivery PBE because of the flexibility appeal and the capability to increase value earned by working more, although the flexibility is an illusion since most couriers need to work 12 up to 14 hours. For restauranteurs, the PBE is a marketing strategy to attract customers to the salon but consider the fees extremely high. In general, for couriers and restaurants, there is no chance to negotiate with the platform and no similar alternatives in the market. The network effect created a lock-in of participants in platforms such as iFood in Brazil and Rappi in Colombia. Without a similar alternative, participants feel trapped under an unfair contract. Our JBG model indicates that fairness is individuals' capability to do or be what they value, and whenever they control their environment, they are responsible for their behavior. Otherwise, we state that governance formulators become responsible for the behavior that the implemented governance systems induce. This conclusion has theoretical implications about what justice is and how policymakers could focus on individuals' capability beyond the fair distribution of resources. We inspire jurists to review the responsibility under the contract when there is no chance to change the governance system. Ecosystem competitors can rethink how a JBG can improve and trigger network effects while remaining fair. Finally, our JBG opens the discussion of whether we should still use contracts as a fair mechanism because our data support that the contractarianism perspective about justice is not fair; only because someone signed a contract does not mean it is fair. Second, because a contract does not allow freedom, it may restrict or deny liberties, so capability should be used as a principle in any contract development.

Innovation ecosystems emerge in a scenario of open and collaborative innovations. Global movements, organized in recent decades as urban development strategies, through collective action, articulated by the actors of the quadruple helix - universities, companies, government and the community in general, constitute urban innovation ecosystems, since cities have faced several challenges and socioeconomic difficulties. Managing innovation processes is a complex task that requires the mobilization of actors through orchestration articulated by an orchestrator. In this context, there is difficulty in articulating and orchestrating the actors inserted into the urban innovation ecosystem, identifying as a research gap the need to discuss the approach based on the orchestrator's competence. However, literature does not address this in depth and clarity; in addition, it is not known how to develop this competence in individuals. For that, the theoretical framework on the dimension of individual competence, orchestration competence, innovation ecosystem and urban innovation ecosystem was constructed and discussed, as well as the planning, development and validation of a training method for the development of individual orchestration competence, in the context of urban innovation ecosystems, with the methodological design of Design Science Research (DSR), integrating a set of activities, to provide an immersive learning experience, based on a Training Learning Journey, in the format of a BootCamp, named BootCamp Orchestration Lab, in the Second Life metaverse, inspired by phenomenon-based learning and the Change Laboratory Method. The training method, in addition to the theoretical framework addressed, considered the understanding of the context of the practice of orchestration in urban innovation ecosystems, with interviews with 19 orchestrators from the five territorial regions of Brazil. The implementation of the artifact had the participation of 11 members of the Management Center of the Rede RS Startup, a project initiated by the Secretariat of Innovation, Science and Technology of the State of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), the Alliance for Innovation and the Rio Grande do Sul Network of Innovation Environments (REGINP), integrating 10 Innovation and Technology Managers and the Coordinator. The main results refer to the expansion of the theoretical model of orchestration in networks and innovation ecosystems, organized under the perspective of orchestrator roles and activities and orchestration dimensions, for an approach of individual orchestration competence, with the proposal of the definition of this competence and the identification of 33 attributes in the theoretical framework and 103 attributes from the interviews, the implementation and validation of the training method proposed for the development of individual orchestration competence. Furthermore, the evaluation of the process of developing orchestration competence in urban innovation ecosystems used the critical incident technique, identifying evidence while training activities developed by the participating subjects, generating a learning ecosystem, based on activity theory from an ecosystemic perspective.

Even with the growing number of cases and increasing evidence showing the benefits and value of data collaboration, to this day, most of the initiatives have been one-off, limited experiences, yet substantial in impact. Although studies are emphasizing the straits, there is a gap in research geared toward the solution to the challenges faced by data collaborations. This research uphold that it is necessary to expand knowledge about governance in data collaborations, supporting the thesis that just a broad view of governance is not enough for the long-term sustainability of the initiative. The following research question is proposed: What is the role of governance in sustaining data collaborations for the common good? This thesis proposes that the challenges faced by data collaboration initiatives can be addressed by viewing them through the lens of downstream problems. Additionally, the functions proposed by micro-governance will support the development of a collaborative environment. A qualitative research approach with an exploratory design was chosen, specifically employing the case study method. A single case study was selected due to access and the complexity of the phenomenon, particularly in Brazil. The chosen case was 'Minha Saúde Digital' (MSD), active in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, since 2020. The evidence collected during the research emphasizes the importance of micro-governance functions in promoting a collaborative environment within data collaborations. When effectively performed, these functions substantially contribute to the cohesion and success of the collaborative effort. However, the debate revolves around identifying the appropriate roles and responsibilities within the collaboration. Therefore, three new propositions are put forward regarding the roles of the convener and the orchestrator in the context of micro-governance.

IE's potency lies in fostering information flow, resource transformation, and collaborative networks, yielding tangible outcomes for communities globally. The university emerges as a crucial actor in IE, playing a pivotal role in its functioning, management, and orchestration. Transformative education assumes a key position in reshaping mental models and fostering a paradigm shift. The research, adopting a qualitative approach through a case study of the MBA in Innovation Ecosystem with 19 participants, explores how universities' transformative learning experiences contribute to IE development. It investigates the multifaceted roles of universities in regional innovation, emphasizing leadership impact, diverse university roles, and professors' active engagement in nurturing innovation ecosystems. The study underscores ethical engagement and neutrality, highlighting the interconnectedness of universities, companies, government entities, and civil society within the innovation ecosystem. Strategic insights emphasize the necessity for universities to adopt entrepreneurial and transformative roles, addressing the overlooked role of students as active contributors. The relation between participant diversity and transformative learning underscores broader impacts on academic and career paths. The study concludes by presenting a practical framework outlining the university's central role in IE, serving as a knowledge source and collaboration hub for fostering sustainable regional development.

This strategy aims to gain access to external resources, which may often be unavailable or out of reach for the organization. The purpose of collaboration is to achieve competitive advantages and market survival. Accordingly, corporations engage with startups to facilitate the innovation process and solve problems, while startups engage to access external resources and for the ease of entering markets. However, little is known about the collaboration process from the perspective of startups. It is argued that specific microfoundations are mobilized over time to manage and ensure the outcomes of collaboration. This study aims to analyze how startups establish a specific set of microfoundations to collaborate with corporations. To achieve this general objective, a multiple case study was conducted based on the collaborative relationship between eight startups and an agro-industrial cooperative. The analysis considered interviews with open-ended questions regarding the collaboration process as the primary data source. The compiled data were transcribed and analyzed using content analysis and coding techniques. The main findings highlight different microfoundations mobilized throughout the stages of the collaboration process: (1) Preparation/Initiation, (2) Collaboration, and (3) Outcomes. Additionally, a pre-initial stage was identified, emphasizing the active involvement of individuals within the activities of an innovation ecosystem. It was found that startups develop routines and processes to adapt their technology and solutions based on the needs identified by the established company. Furthermore, multiple characteristics at both the individual and startup levels influence the collaboration and context levels, and the impact of contextual factors (e.g., innovation ecosystem, political and regional incentives) on the process was also noted. Collaboration from the startups' perspective is shaped by their characteristics, which span different levels and phases of the process, as well as by the startup's ability to adapt its structures in response to opportunities and stimuli from the external environment.

The central proposition is to propose and analyze a model that demonstrates how each dimension of innovation capability impacts each performance perspective. Innovation capability is considered a strategic differentiating factor for organizations, leading them to improve their performance. The scarcity of studies that explain the relationships between innovation capability and financial and non-financial performance demonstrates a theoretical gap in the theory of innovation capability, which needs to be better explained. This research presents a quantitative approach and was carried out through a theoretical-empirical study. Based on the literature related to theories on innovation capability and performance, hypotheses were developed and tested empirically, through a survey, applied to 166 industrial companies in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in Brazil. Data was analyzed using structural equation modeling, where the innovation capability constructs are: technological development, operational, transactional and management capability; and the performance constructs are the perspectives: financial, customer, internal processes and learning and growth. Results demonstrated that innovation capability has a positive impact on the financial and non-financial performance of the companies surveyed. Furthermore, it was evident that there are relationships between each dimension of innovation capability with each performance perspective and that non-financial performance has a positive impact on financial performance. Another important result refers to the use of management capability as an orchestrating variable between other innovation capabilities and non-financial performance perspectives, bringing a new dynamic to the construct of innovation capability. As theoretical contributions, it is first highlighted that the different dimensions of innovation capability maintained positive associations with different perspectives of non-financial performance and provide a gradual understanding of these aforementioned relationships, representing an advance in the theory on innovation capability. Another important theoretical contribution is the use of management capability as a mediating variable between other innovation capabilities and business performance perspectives, which brings a new dynamic to the innovation capabilities construct proposed by Zawislak et al. (2012). This adjustment to the model contributes to advancing discussions between innovation capability and performance, as it expands understanding of the relationships between these variables and enables new research horizons on this topic. As a managerial and academic contribution, a framework was developed that demonstrates an integrated model between innovation capability and performance, considering the different dimensions of innovation capability and performance perspectives. of innovation capabilities, representing an advancement in the theory of innovation capability. It is expected that this model will be used to assist managers of organizations seeking to develop innovation capability and obtain better organizational performance, becoming an easy-to-implement performance measurement tool of great strategic importance for leveraging competitiveness and the results of innovative companies.

Green innovation, which encompasses the development and implementation of green prod-ucts, processes and management practices aimed at environmental sustainability, has become an important approach for organizations seeking not only to meet market demands, but also to reduce their environmental impact. and promote long-term sustainable development. Within this context, the aeroagricultural sector emerges as a relevant field for analyzing the influence of ESG practices on performance and promoting green innovation. Given the need to face challenges in the relationship between environmental sustainability and productivity, under-standing how the CEO's innovation capabilities influence this dynamic becomes a relevant topic. Thus, the objective of this thesis was to analyze the influence of ESG practices on green innovation in aeroagricultural companies in Brazil, mediated by the CEO's innovation capabili-ties. To achieve this objective, quantitative research was conducted to test the proposed theo-retical model, to measure the influence of ESG practices on green innovation, mediated by the CEO's innovation capabilities. A questionnaire was applied to a sample of 90 companies in the sector, using descriptive statistics methods to analyze the data collected. The respondents to the questionnaires were CEOs (executive directors or business people of aeroagricultural com-panies). To test the proposed model, three constructs were analyzed (ESG practices, green innovation and individual innovation capabilities of the CEO), which totaled 60 statements. The previous theoretical framework served to develop and test the hypotheses, and out of four, one of the hypotheses was rejected. Among the results, the research revealed that ESG practices have a positive influence on green innovation in aeroagricultural companies, corrobo-rating previous studies. This influence was observed both in direct analysis and in mediation by CEOs' individual innovation capabilities. However, no mediation of CEO innovation capa-bilities was identified between ESG practices and green innovation, suggesting that other fac-tors may influence this relationship. Companies demonstrated a high commitment to sustaina-ble practices, especially in the environmental and social dimensions, reflecting a growing con-cern with corporate responsibility. The lack of mediation of CEOs' individual capabilities indi-cates the need to consider other organizational and contextual aspects in promoting green in-novation in the aeroagricultural sector.

IE literature is vast and portrays recent new structures of economic relations. Literature has matured in recent years and considers ecosystems an actionable new structure of economic relationships that requires specific management. IE is a fertile field for the emergence of uncertainties of different natures and different levels because they grow in a non-linear way, with the development trajectories being emergent rather than strictly controlled. The literature has already shown the source of several different types of uncertainty at the project and organizational level (Pich et al., 2002; Rice et al., 2008; Huchzermeier & Loch, 2001; Huber et al., 1975), but studies of uncertainty management at the ecosystem level are relatively scarce. We know much less about how emerging ecosystems deal with uncertainty. Based on this research gap, this research presents an analytical framework of uncertainties that affect innovation ecosystems' emergence. To do that, we conducted a qualitative multiple case studies methodological approach in one aircraft-related global IE. Based on 164 interviews and 506 technical reports and white papers, we identified an emerging ecosystem based on multiple criteria and mapped and explained all its components according to ecosystem theory. We found 262 main events in a 7-year global trajectory evolution of the ecosystem and grouped them into 6 phases of the ecosystem. We inductively identified, named, and ranked 45 uncertainties and 50 strategies that emerged from the data. Finally, we analyzed the relationship between uncertainties and strategies employed by decision-makers, identifying patterns of uncertainty management and showing a visual map explaining the coevolution during the IE growth trajectory. We finish this study by presenting a set of propositions. This study contributes to the emergence of the IE as a structured research field. This study also contributes to public policymakers by depicting elements that inhibit innovation ecosystem emergence. Based on these findings, practitioners may strategize paths for better dealing with situations of different natures in these contexts.; La literatura sobre ecosistemas de innovación (EI) está experimentando un crecimiento vigoroso (Shiplov y Gawer, 2020). La literatura de EI es vasta y retrata nuevas estructuras económicas de relaciones. La literatura ha madurado en los últimos años y considera que los ecosistemas son una nueva estructura de relaciones económicas procesable que requiere una gestión específica. Los EI son un campo fértil para la aparición de incertidumbres de diferentes naturalezas y diferentes niveles, ya que crecen de forma no lineal, con trayectorias de desarrollo más emergentes que estrictamente controladas. La literatura ya ha mostrado el origen de varios tipos diferentes de incertidumbre a nivel de proyecto y organizacional (Pich et al., 2002; Rice et al., 2008; Huchzermeier & Loch, 2001; Huber et al., 1975), pero los estudios sobre gestión de la incertidumbre a nivel de ecosistema son relativamente escasos. Sabemos mucho menos sobre cómo los ecosistemas emergentes lidian con la incertidumbre. Basándonos en esta laguna de investigación, esta investigación presenta un marco analítico de incertidumbres que afectan la aparición de ecosistemas de innovación. Llevamos a cabo un enfoque metodológico de estudios de casos múltiples cualitativos en un EI global relacionado con la aeronáutica. En base a 164 entrevistas y 506 informes técnicos y documentos, identificamos un ecosistema emergente según múltiples criterios, mapeamos y explicamos todos sus componentes de acuerdo con la teoría del ecosistema. Encontramos 262 eventos principales en una trayectoria evolutiva global de 7 años del ecosistema y los agrupamos en 6 fases del ecosistema. Inductivamente identificamos, denominamos y clasificamos 45 incertidumbres y 50 estrategias que surgieron de los datos. Finalmente, analizamos la relación entre las incertidumbres y las estrategias empleadas por los responsables de la toma de decisiones, identificando patrones de gestión de la incertidumbre y mostrando un mapa visual que explica la coevolución durante la trayectoria de crecimiento del EI. Terminamos este estudio presentando una serie de proposiciones. Este estudio contribuye a la aparición del EI como un campo de investigación estructurado. Este estudio también contribuye a los legisladores públicos al representar elementos que inhiben la aparición de ecosistemas de innovación. En base a estos hallazgos, los profesionales pueden trazar estrategias para lidiar mejor con situaciones de diferentes naturalezas en estos contextos.; La literatura sobre ecosistemes d'innovació (EI) està experimentant un creixement vigorós (Shiplov i Gawer, 2020).

Els EI són un camp fèrtil per a l'aparició d'incerteses de diferents naturaleses i diferents nivells, ja que creixen de forma no lineal, amb trajectòries de desenvolupament més emergents que estrictament controlades. La literatura ja ha mostrat l'origen de diversos tipus diferents d'incertesa a nivell de projecte i organitzacional (Pich et al., 2002; Rice et al., 2008; Huchzermeier & Loch, 2001; Huber et al., 1975), però els estudis sobre gestió de la incertesa a nivell d'ecosistema són relativament escassos. Sabem molt menys sobre com els ecosistemes emergents tracten la incertesa. Basant-nos en aquest buit d'investigació, aquesta investigació presenta un marc analític d'incerteses que afecten l'aparició d'ecosistemes d'innovació. Per fer-ho, vam dur a terme un enfocament metodològic d'estudis de casos múltiples qualitatius en un EI global relacionat amb l'aeronàutica. Basant-nos en 164 entrevistes i 506 informes tècnics i documents blancs, vam identificar un ecosistema emergent segons múltiples criteris, vam mapar i vam explicar tots els seus components d'acord amb la teoria de l'ecosistema. Vam trobar 262 esdeveniments principals en una trajectòria evolutiva global de 7 anys de l'ecosistema i els vam agrupar en 6 fases de l'ecosistema. Inductivament vam identificar, vam anomenar i vam classificar 45 incerteses i 50 estratègies que van sorgir de les dades. Finalment, vam analitzar la relació entre les incerteses i les estratègies emprades pels responsables de la presa de decisions, identificant patrons de gestió de la incertesa i mostrant un mapa visual que explica la coevolució durant la trajectòria de creixement de l'EI. Acabem aquest estudi presentant una sèrie de proposicions. Aquest estudi contribueix a l'aparició de EI com un camp d'investigació estructurat. Aquest estudi també contribueix als legisladors públics en representar elements que inhibeixen l'aparició d'ecosistemes d'innovació. Basant-nos en aquestes troballes, els professionals poden traçar estratègies per tractar millor situacions de diferents naturaleses en aquests contextos.

A microstructural approach Vizzoto, Andrieli Diniz Collaborative networks development, as a competitive strategy and form to deal with complex society problems with many diverse members working towards common goals, have become recurrent. Although these configurations follow steady theories for organizations, they present particularities that need to be comprehended from a network perspective, considering its own uniqueness. Network governance as an organizational and planning tool needs studies that interpret it from downstream, examining the routine activities of governance in a processual way, micro governance. Besides, networks present a dichotomy between authority and autonomy, a space where members are interdependent, sometimes it is imperative that some authority acts to take decisions, mediate conflicts and control situations. Literature presents some theories yet not deep studied about network micro governance practices. Therefore, this study has aimed to understand the processes of micro governance that act as authority source and their role in the network governance. So, a qualitative research was held, using observation, documents analyses and interviews (17) with members of a public healthcare network in Brazil, Conass. Using a process data analysis, searching for patterns along time, the evidence was analyzed. The empirical field was chosen based on it dealing with a complex social problem, public health. The network was formed in 1982, and it has a large structure with technical chambers, commissions and committees that debate and take decisions on how to organize the capillary and budgetary issues towards results for public healthcare in the country. Thus, many activities and governance processes work, and these are the objects of this study. Among the results, it was evident that micro governance functions play a critical role so that the network performs. Some functions were more highlighted within the evidence such as align, organize, monitoring and arbitrate. Based on those, propositions were created for these network micro governance functions, revealing their applicability and enhancing the theories with empirical evidence. The results have shown that functions of align and organize help to balance expectations and offer continuity for the network, considering the constant possibility of entry and exit of members. The function of monitoring legitimizes the network governance processes, since it is used to control results and offer feedback about the goals. Also, the evidence conveys that the function arbitrate supports the collaborative environment promoting consensus, the way the network decides on how to conduct the decision process and solve conflicts. Finally, the network micro governance functions become part of the structure and depicts a reality by playing the role of authority. Consequently, no member or leadership role is responsible solemnly to emphasize or force no one in the network to use the micro governance functions, they work on their own. The evidence demonstrates that micro governance functions offer authority and authenticity to processes, fostering a collaborative and horizontal environment among network members.

However, a subfield of innovation studies, innovation capabilities, has not yet been explored in depth within the scope of innovation ecosystems, especially regional ones. Therefore, this doctoral thesis aims to analyze how the actors of the quadruple helix, especially the university, assist in developing the innovation capabilities of a regional innovation ecosystem by considering the dimensions of the ecosystem. From a narrative literature review, four innovation capabilities were identified at the firm level that are compatible with the ecosystem level: collaboration capability, orchestration capability, networking capability, and R&D capability. A new definition was then proposed for these capabilities at the innovation ecosystem level. Through qualitative empirical research, characterized as a case study, the regional innovation ecosystem of the municipality of Rio Verde – GO (Brazil), which has agribusiness as its economic vocation, was analyzed. The analysis identified which capabilities have the greatest potential to develop the four dimensions of the regional innovation ecosystem. The results demonstrated that the networking capability impacts the network collaboration dimension, the orchestration capacity impacts the interdependence dimension, the collaboration capability impacts the value co-creation dimension, and the R&D capability impacts the innovation objectives dimension. These results were compiled into four theoretical propositions that form a theoretical model of innovation capabilities of the regional innovation ecosystem. Furthermore, the results helped to identify the elements of both the four dimensions of the regional innovation ecosystem and the four capabilities, which can help managers of the quadruple helix in building both capabilities and dimensions. Specifically, the elements of capabilities were grouped into skills, resources, and routines. Finally, the results showed that academia, represented by the University of Rio Verde (UniRV) in the ecosystem investigated, has greater prominence than the other actors of the quadruple helix in building the innovation capabilities of the regional innovation ecosystem.

To test the proposed model and achieve the research objectives, a quantitative-descriptive study was carried out, through the application of a survey with a sample of 923 respondents, professionals in the area of human resources from Brazilian organizations. The results highlighted the importance of sustainable and inclusive human resource practices for employee well-being and for establishing a more responsible and sustainable organizational culture. Inclusive Policies also demonstrated a positive link with Job Satisfaction, indicating that promoting diversity and equality is related to employee engagement. The postulated a positive link between Sustainable Human Resources Practices and Job Satisfaction was confirmed, highlighting the need to understand the individual perspectives of employees when implementing such practices. On the other hand, the study reinforced the importance of Sustainable Practices of Human Resources for the Quality of Life at Work, pointing out that sustainability encompasses actions aimed at human development and employee appreciation. Finally, the adoption of sustainable HR practices and inclusive policies aligned with the Stakeholder Theory, benefiting both employees and the image and organizational performance as a whole, by reinforcing a position of responsibility and sustainability is related to satisfaction and the quality of life at work.

URCs act as seedbeds for NTBFs by providing essential knowledge and resources. Due to their limited resources, NTBFs often need to establish knowledge flows with URCs to complement their resource base and ensure growth. Despite the significance of URC knowledge transfer for NTBFs, it is still unclear how URCs support the development of ordinary capabilities in these firms through various knowledge transfer processes and how these capabilities affect business performance. To address this gap, this study focuses on agtechs, a specific type of NTBF that provides innovative technologies and solutions in the agribusiness and food sectors. This research examines how different knowledge transfer mechanisms assist agtechs in building the ordinary capabilities they require and how these resources are configured to improve firm performance. The study analyzes NTBFs from Brazil and France, two significant players in the agribusiness industry, with different institutional environments that can influence knowledge transfer and entrepreneurial activities. Based on a sample of 48 agtechs from Brazil and 52 from France, the study’ results contribute to the literature in two ways. Firstly, it demonstrates that URC knowledge transfer cannot be considered a homogeneous entity, as it takes place through multiple knowledge channels, each producing different outcomes at the firm level. Despite agtechs in both Brazil and France relying less on URC knowledge than initially anticipated, two knowledge transfer channels proved to be effective for agtechs in Brazil, while five were effective in France. Secondly, the research identified various combinations of capabilities that improve NTBF performance in both countries, underlining different growth strategies. The study's results highlight the significance of the interplay between capabilities, as no ordinary capability alone can lead to higher levels of performance. By identifying the most effective knowledge transfer channels and the combinations of ordinary capabilities that lead to superior performance, this study provides valuable insights for the Resource-Based View (RBV) and the Knowledge Spillover Theory (KST).; Les écosystèmes de connaissances sont des environnements collaboratifs qui rassemblent les universités et les centres de recherche (UCR) ainsi que les nouvelles entreprises à base de technologies (NEBT) pour développer des innovations dans un cadre précompétitif. Les UCR agissent comme des pépinières pour les NEBT en fournissant des connaissances et des ressources essentielles. En raison de leurs ressources limitées, les NEBT ont souvent besoin d'établir des flux de connaissances avec les UCR pour compléter leur base de ressources et assurer leur croissance. Malgré l'importance du transfert de connaissances des UCR pour les NEBT, il reste encore flou comment les UCR soutiennent le développement de compétences ordinaires dans ces entreprises à travers différents processus de transfert de connaissances et comment ces compétences affectent la performance de l'entreprise. Pour combler cette lacune, cette étude se concentre sur les agtechs, un type spécifique de NEBT qui propose des technologies et des solutions innovantes dans les secteurs de l'agroalimentaire et de l'alimentation. Cette recherche examine comment différents mécanismes de transfert de connaissances aident les agtechs à développer les compétences ordinaires dont elles ont besoin et comment ces ressources sont configurées pour améliorer la performance de l'entreprise. L'étude analyse les NEBF du Brésil et de la France, deux acteurs importants de l'industrie agroalimentaire, avec des environnements institutionnels différents qui peuvent influencer le transfert de connaissances et les activités entrepreneuriales. Basée sur un échantillon de 48 agtechs du Brésil et de 52 de France, l'étude contribue à la littérature de deux manières. Tout d'abord, elle démontre que le transfert de connaissances des UCR ne peut pas être considéré comme une entité homogène, car il se produit par le biais de multiples canaux de connaissances, produisant chacun des résultats différents au niveau de l'entreprise. Bien que les agtechs au Brésil et en France dépendent moins des connaissances des UCR que prévu initialement, deux canaux de transfert de connaissances se sont avérés efficaces pour les agtechs au Brésil, tandis que cinq l'étaient en France. Deuxièmement, la recherche a identifié différentes combinaisons de compétences qui améliorent la performance des NEBT dans les deux pays, soulignant différentes stratégies de croissance. Les résultats de l'étude mettent en évidence l'importance de l'interaction entre les compétences, car aucune compétence ordinaire seule ne peut conduire à des niveaux de performance supérieurs. En identifiant les canaux de transfert de connaissances les plus efficaces et les combinaisons de compétences ordinaires qui conduisent à une performance supérieure, cette étude fournit des perspectives précieuses pour la Resource-Based View (RBV) et la Knowledge Spillover Theory (KST).

Drawing from existing literature, this thesis investigates how the six fundamental governance functions - aligning, organizing, mobilizing, integrating, arbitrating, and monitoring - complement each other in the context of these networks. The main objective is to understand the complementarities between these governance functions in associative pharmacy networks. Specific objectives include: Identifying and characterizing the complementary relationships between governance functions; Analyzing the implementation of governance functions in the daily operations of networks; investigating and describing specific interactions that generate complementarity between governance functions in associative pharmacy networks. The justification for this study lies in the significant growth and relevance of associative pharmacy networks in the Brazilian pharmaceutical sector, which have proven to be strategic for both small and large companies. Therefore, the research aims to fill a gap in the literature on how governance is exercised in practice within these networks, offering new perspectives on the relationships of complementarity and substitution between different governance functions. The central research question is: "How do governance functions complement each other in the context of associative pharmacy networks?" With a qualitative methodological approach using Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) and Content Analysis, during interviews, four out of the six functions were more positively cited. Thus, the study explores the interplay of mobilization, monitoring, organization, and arbitration functions. Three key propositions were identified: 1) Mobilization and monitoring functions contribute to the network's legitimacy; 2) Arbitration facilitates conflict resolution and promotes justice, while organization regulates the distribution of power; 3) The complementary adoption of these four functions fosters the construction of a trusting and collaboratively learning environment.Methodologically, the research contributes with a practical example of using QCA and Content Analysis together, providing a more comprehensive theoretical model. From a managerial perspective, the results offer guidelines to enhance the effectiveness of governance in associative networks.

Thus, the goal of the present study is to analyze the influencing factors in adopting Big Data Analytics (BDA) in agriculture organizations. The research was made using a qualitative approach, encompassing multiple cases, collecting the experiences participants had, trying to understand the manifestation of the phenomena where they took place and, from different perspectives. Through this study it was possible to validate the attributes of adopting innovation (BDA) in the agriculture sector under Roger’s theoretical DOI lens (1971), identifying and discussing emerging subcategories in the sense of adopting BDA, thus contributing to new discussions regarding the topic. Based on these attributes, seven propositions were generated in order to evaluate the adoption of BDA in agriculture organizations, five of which, through this research, have been confirmed. The propositions are: technological compatibility as a positive influence in adopting BDA in such a sector, the technological complexity in a sense of negatively influencing the decisions of adopting BDA in agriculture, the relative advantage perceived as a positive influence in adopting BDA instruments in agriculture organizations, the possibility of experimenting and observing as previous evaluations positively influencing the adoption of BDA in these organizations, while only two were not confirmed. They are: willingness in the sense of the pressure made by suppliers positively influencing to adopt BDA and the talent capability in BDA analysis also as a positive influence in deciding to adopt BDA solutions in the agriculture sector. It was noticed that the factors of adopting BDA solutions in agriculture are aligned with the DOI features presented by Rogers (1971), apart from presenting, in the approaches, subcategories that have come to complement them. The non-confirmed propositions were exactly the ones based in complementary features to the DOI specifically for this study.

Considering that most innovation ecosystems in territories do not emerge spontaneously, but as a result of deliberate experimentation by different actors, the present study has the general objective of proposing a conceptual framework on the dynamic capabilities necessary for the development of innovation ecosystems in their different ways. Life stages. To respond to this objective, a comparative qualitative analysis was carried out on the five dynamic capabilities of innovation ecosystems identified in the literature: human and entrepreneurial capability, structural and financial capability, relational capability, governance capability and competitive capability. This analysis was developed at each of the four stages of innovation ecosystem development. The results suggest, among other conclusions, that the birth stage is the “orchestration stage”, since in this first stage a greater synergy between the capabilities of innovation ecosystems is essential, with the need for a greater presence of these, together, for achieving success. The growth stage is characterized by the “structural-agent” strategy, as its best results are combinations that rely on human and entrepreneurial capability and structural and financial capability. Stage III, maturity, can also be characterized by the “governance stage”, considering that the combinations that adopted strategies with this capacity presented more satisfactory results. In the last stage, renewal, the strategy that proved to be the most effective is the “relational strategy”, as the municipalities that adopted it showed better performances. Finally, this study contributes to the literature by deepening the studies on the evolution of the life stages of innovation ecosystems, as well as making the application of dynamic capabilities more comprehensive for an ecosystemic logic. From a managerial point of view, this study contributes to managers by proposing strategies to achieve success in the different stages of life of innovation ecosystems, with a focus on contexts of developing countries.

This research explores how Big Data Analytical Capability (BDAC) is developed in agricultural organizations and what is its relationship with Green Innovation. The theoretical approach adopted is the Resource Orchestration View (ROV). The method is a single case study of a multinational agricultural organization, from the forestry sector, to understand the resources and orchestration processes that led to the creation of BDAC and how this capability contributes to Green Innovation. The results show that the BDAC is built through the orchestration of several resources, including technological, human, financial and intangible. This capability allows the organization to make strategic decisions generating insights for Green Innovation. BDAC thus positively influences Green Innovation by helping to promote sustainable practices in forestry, with the use of big data. Relevant points were raised in relation to the orchestration of resources to create the BDAC, such as data democratization, data governance, open innovation, among others. The research contributes theoretically by offering an expanded view on how BDA resources are developed and used for Green Innovation. In addition, the study brings practical contributions to managers and professionals in the agricultural sector, showing how the orchestration of BDA resources can maintain sustainability and competitiveness, while promoting environmental responsibility.

Within this context, studies on entrepreneurship education (EE) in universities emerge as a means of fostering entrepreneurial behavior, referring to actions that can influence individuals' attitudes, aspirations, and intentions in recognizing or creating opportunities. Thus, as a means of investigating the aforementioned topic, this research aims to analyze how EE actions in universities influence the development of entrepreneurial cognition (EC) in individuals. Methodologically, this research centers on a single case study of qualitative nature, based on a university that implements EE initiatives. Primary data was collected through interviews with faculty members, students, professors, technicians, and university partners. Secondary data was also gathered from websites, institutional documents, videos, articles, among others. The findings underscore the significance of integrating the university into an Entrepreneurial Education Ecosystem (EEE) as a means of implementing an active learning approach, thereby enhancing the prospects of learning, controlling the environment, achieving objectives, and attaining positive outcomes for EC development. The EE actions within the university reinforced the inclination toward entrepreneurship, revealing that engagement in the academic context influences the evolution of entrepreneurial behavior. Consequently, the case reveals that entrepreneurial cognition is dynamic and situated, cultivated by specific individuals operating within diverse environments, with varying degrees of thought dissemination through artifacts, tools, physical surroundings, and social agents.

Thus, in order to diagnose the tendency to adopt technology in the higher education sector, a major problem in the administration area, the author of this thesis decided to elaborate a meta-analysis, a rigorous statistical method of synthesis, which offers the opportunity to visualize the context of the research. Combining the quantitative results of several empirical studies. In academic terms, this research will mainly contribute to provide a theoretical review of the real effect of propensity to technology adoption in the student's context, through relational constructs associated with the referred behavior and the analysis of antecedents, consequents and moderators. Therefore, in the first part of the analyses, 240 studies were included and, after the final application of the accepted criteria for screening primary research in this meta-analysis, 55 (fifty-five) studies with participation of over 25,062 respondents, published until September of 2020, were used. It is worth noticing that no meta-analytic study was found, without a time interval, from the student's perspective. The results reveal that most research environments on TAM in the educational context come from Asia, America and Europe. From the statistical analysis, ten antecedent and four consequent constructs were identified. To make the meta-analysis even more robust, possible effects were tested to verify the possible influences of the cultural aspect of Power Distance, Individualism, Masculinity, Uncertainty Aversion, Long-Term Orientation, in addition to economic (HDI) in the previously mentioned relationships. The results will allow managers to make more accurate decisions to minimize potential barriers to the adoption of new technologies, especially in the educational context. Future research could explore environmental attributes to drive technology adoption growth from a student perspective, analyze gender in technology adoption, and metaverse adoption and acceptance in education.

To achieve this, a single case study was conducted with multiple units of analysis of collaborative R&D projects in the Manaus Industrial Pole. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews based on predefined categories, content analysis, and data triangulation. The results provide contributions to the Relational View that assist researchers and managers in understanding how, where, and when knowledge sharing routines can be adopted during the innovation process. Types of uncertainties that may arise during the Research and Development (R&D) project phases and how knowledge sharing routines can deal with these uncertainties were identified. Market uncertainty is addressed by ICT managers through the mobilization of knowledge transfer routines that provide technical support to partner industries. In managerial uncertainty, knowledge transfer routines help structure talent access tools and build connections to overcome the lack of qualified human resources. In the face of institutional uncertainty, knowledge transfer routines are adopted to present data that justify the need for market-aligned policies. Technological uncertainty, perceived through low technical knowledge, involves the recombination of internal knowledge to solve technological incompatibility. Environmental uncertainty is overcome through knowledge creation routines that ensure proper elaboration of technical and legal justifications when there are supplier delays. Acceptance uncertainty is addressed through knowledge creation and transfer routines that help educate partners about the benefits of innovation. Social uncertainty is mitigated through standards and methods that reduce conflicting interests and clarify the stages of the innovation process. Time uncertainty is addressed through the mobilization of transfer, recombination, and creation routines to clarify requirements, rectify failures, and ensure project quality and deadlines. It is also tackled through knowledge transfer and recombination routines to monitor and adjust the scope of innovation, ensuring timely technological transfer. Finally, this study focused on understanding the evolution of knowledge sharing routines in R&D alliances, considering environmental dynamism. Further research is encouraged to explore other determinants of relational income and how they change throughout the life cycle of joint R&D projects, considering interdependence between partners. Other studies may adopt the Theory of Dynamic Capabilities to investigate how R&D organizations mobilize their resources in the face of risks and uncertainties, as well as adopt a processual approach to analyze the different knowledge sharing routines throughout the project development process.

In this environment, where more and more social relations are taking place digitally, many organizations have been using social media in their most diverse routines. Given the diffusion of the internet and the use of these digital tools, this study aims to propound and test a theoretical model that measures the importance of social media and dynamic capabilities to improve innovation performance. This model analyzed three dynamic capabilities: internal collaboration capacity, absorptive capacity, and organizational agility. These capabilities were defined through a literature review. The study focused on startups, that is, innovative companies with scalability potential. The startups analyzed are Brazilian and operate in the agribusiness sector. Therefore, this study analyzed AgTech. The focus on this type of organization was because they are companies that operate in environments with a high level of environmental uncertainty, where low levels of innovation performance can negatively affect the development of competitive advantage and, in more critical cases, lead to bankruptcy. The region chosen for the study was Brazil due to the importance of agribusiness in that country's economy and given the Brazilian relevance in the production and export of food. The study is quantitative in nature, and data were collected through questionnaires sent online. Respondents are people who occupy management positions in AgTech, including CEOs, directors, and managers in general. Each AgTech analyzed was represented by a single respondent. Given this, the sample of this study refers to 237 AgTech. Descriptive statistics measures were used to measure the characterization of the sample. Among the results, the most used social media are WhatsApp, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Google Meetings. To test the proposed theoretical model, structural equation modeling with partial least squares estimation (PLS-SEM) was used. The model developed and analyzed consists of six hypotheses and comprises four first-order constructs: social media, absorptive capacity, organizational agility, and innovation performance. The model also presents a second-order construct, named internal collaboration capacity, which is formed by three constructs: communication, trust, and commitment. The six hypotheses are tested and all of which were not rejected. In general, it was identified that the use of social media positively affects innovation performance and contributes to the internal collaboration capability. This dynamic capacity, in turn, positively influences the absorptive capacity and organizational agility of AgTech. Finally, these two dynamic capabilities positively impact innovation performance. As additional analyses, the existence of serial mediations in the relationship between social media and innovation performance was also verified. The results show that the internal collaboration capability and absorptive capacity, and the internal collaboration capability and organizational agility, partially mediate this relationship. The results also indicate that the explanatory power (R²) of innovation performance is higher in the proposed theoretical model compared to the direct effect of using social media. The developed and validated model allows an analytical understanding of how to improve innovation performance, indicating that there are dynamic capabilities (internal collaboration capability) that precede other dynamic capabilities (absorptive capacity and organizational agility). This and other research findings allow researchers and managers to understand the sequence and mechanisms behind innovation performance, the relevance of using social media as organizational tools, and the importance of dynamic capabilities. About dynamic capabilities, we highlight their importance both for fostering new capabilities and as drivers of innovation performance in AgTech.

A investigação dos resultados da UIC sob a perspectiva das empresas tem atraído a atenção de estudiosos nos últimos anos. As empresas que colaboram com universidades podem se beneficiar do acesso a recursos valiosos, como acesso a conhecimento científico e recursos humanos de ponta, patentes, novos métodos e infraestrutura universitária e equipamentos técnicos. Por sua vez, o acesso aos recursos é vital para a construção da capacidade de inovação, que é essencial para o desempenho da inovação. No entanto, os estudos que analisaram os benefícios da colaboração U-I para as empresas pouco exploraram a questão das capacidades. Assim, a seguinte questão de pesquisa é proposta: quais são os recursos das universidades e os canais de interação U-E mais benéficos para a capacidade de inovação e desempenho inovativo das empresas industriais? Em 2021, foi aplicada survey com 176 empresas industriais brasileiras que colaboraram com universidades. Para medir a capacidade de inovação das empresas, foi utilizado o modelo de Zawislak (2012). Esse modelo divide a capacidade de inovação em quatro capacidades: gestão, transação, operação e desenvolvimento. Os dados foram analisados por meio das técnicas de modelagem de equações estruturais (SEM) e regressão múltipla. Os resultados mostraram que o uso de recursos das universidades para inovação de produtos e processos baseados na infraestrutura de conhecimento é mais benéfico para a capacidade de inovação e desempenho das empresas do que a ciência aplicada. Especificamente, o uso de resultados de pesquisa, laboratórios e infraestrutura física, novos designs e instrumentos e equipamentos são os tipos de recursos mais benéficos para a capacidade de inovação. Por sua vez, o uso de canais de interação U-E baseados na transferência de conhecimento para conduzir as atividades de inovação das empresas é mais benéfico para a capacidade e desempenho de inovação do que as redes de inovação. Especificamente, tecnologia licenciada, publicações e relatórios e treinamentos estão entre os canais de interação U-E mais benéficos para melhorar a capacidade de inovação das empresas. A presente tese apresenta duas contribuições teóricas. Em primeiro lugar, o presente estudo contribui para a literatura analisando o impacto da interação U-E na capacidade e desempenho de inovação da empresa dentro de uma abordagem holística. Nesse sentido, combina a mensuração da influência do uso de 4 recursos de diferentes universidades e canais de interação U-E sobre as empresas. Em segundo lugar, o estudo contribui para a literatura ao sugerir opções para melhorar a capacidade de inovação das empresas.

Unlike most publications on sharing economy, which focus their studies on the consumer behavior (Pang et al., 2020), this research proposes to investigate the reasons that encourage people to want to share their goods or to carry out activities through these sharing platforms. The balance between the demand and supply of these services is fundamental for the sustainable success of this market in the long term (Acquier et al., 2017), therefore providing theoretical and managerial knowledge about these users, hitherto little explored (Täuscher & Laudien, 2018), is highly necessary. Two experimental studies were conducted to investigate these relationships through 5 hypotheses, 3 of which were supported by the results. As expected, Study 1 shows that risk perception is negatively correlated with the intention to provide, while value perception acts as a mediating variable in this relationship, with positive effects on the intention to supply. The statistical significance was not found for the model through institutional mechanisms (evaluation systems and pricing strategies). Through Study 2, it was possible, in addition to revalidating the findings regarding the perception of risk and value, to add the regulatory focus theory as an explanatory factor to the model. The regulatory focus was relevant as a moderating variable in this relationship, where individuals under a preventive focus show less intention to provide sharing platforms. The results of this research have important implications for understanding the intent to provide on sharing economy platforms, as well as for managers, regulatory policymakers, and designers of platforms that aim to promote sharing behavior. Overall, this thesis contributes to the sharing economy literature, advancing the understanding of the role of providers for the success of platforms and the viability of this business model.

Researchers have recommended that companies improve the responsiveness of the innovation process to improve both the process and the results of innovations. However, many companies have failed to improve responsiveness in their innovation processes. Studies indicate that this challenge can be overcome with the support of new approaches, including the development of dynamic capabilities. However, even though it is important, the academic literature still does not explore, in the necessary detail, the effects that dynamic capabilities can have on responsible innovation. Furthermore, the contributions that dynamic capabilities and their microfoundations can offer to facilitate the development of the responsible innovation process still require further investigation. This study aims to analyze how dynamic capabilities can contribute to enhance the responsiveness dimension of the responsible innovation process. Through qualitative research, with a case study approach, we sought to deepen the understanding of the contributions of dynamic capabilities to improve the development of the responsible innovation process. The research results show that distinct microfoundations of the dynamic capabilities sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring can strengthen attributes of the responsible innovation process responsiveness, contributing to enhance its impact on innovations. These findings expand knowledge about the impact of dynamic capabilities on the responsible innovation process, deepen knowledge about how dynamic capabilities and their microfoundations can influence the development of the responsiveness dimension of the responsible innovation process. The results contribute to overcoming business challenges aimed at strengthening their innovative activities, refining the understanding of processes, skills, routines and organizational procedures necessary for identifying and taking advantage of new opportunities, as well as so that the realignment of internal processes has a greater chance of success.

A gap was identified in the TS regarding the creation of value in organizational contexts marked by unfamiliar situations. In view of this gap, the main objective of this study was to analyze how an organization creates value in unfamiliar situations. The Covid19 pandemic provided the context for carrying out this study, characterized as unfamiliar. To carry out the research, the case study strategy was adopted in a company recognized for its trajectory in the management of multiple Stakeholders. Primary and secondary data were used. It was found that in the researched context, the definition and management strategy of Stakeholders were affected, prevailing short-term actions and with attention to Stakeholders with survival vulnerability. Thus, the study contributes to studies on defining the relevance of Stakeholders, revealing that unfamiliar situations affect management strategies with Stakeholders. The research also contributes to its managerial implications, pointing to the necessary attention of managers to the composition of the portfolio of Stakeholders and their vulnerabilities.

The underlying theories for the themes are the theory of legitimacy in the approach of social responsibility to withstand the voluntary disclosure of information, and the groupthink theory to underpin the group cohesion approach. Using an econometric regression model with fixed effect's panel data, the objective was achieved after operationalizing the empirical variables and testing the proposed hypotheses. A sample of 104 publicly traded companies listed on the São Paulo Stock Exchange ([B]3), which voluntarily disclosed sustainability or annual reports, was used. The results indicated that only the social cohesion dimension had a significant impact on the decision-making process, while task cohesion had no significance in the model. Only reporting assurance, size, complexity, and age of the organization were significant of the control variables. The thesis provides new evidence that greater social cohesion among members of the board of directors may not be beneficial for organizations, not improving the disclosure of voluntary information, specifically those of a social disclosure. However, different types of social cohesion can exist, depending on the combination of beliefs, values, and previous experiences of the members of the board of directors. This can impact the decision-making process in different ways.

In its architecture, the attributes of decentralization, encryption (security), consensus mechanism (trust), immutability, etc. thus, in order to investigate the factors which impact the intention of adopting this technology in supply chains, this thesis aimed to analyze the barriers to the intention of adopting Blockchain technology in Supply Chains in the context of emerging markets. For this purpose, a quantitative and qualitative study was chosen, carried out in two stages. In the quantitative stage, a theoretical model was tested, conceived in the thesis, based on structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). While in the qualitative stage, a study was carried out with a focus group in order to verify how the relationships of the developed model are established. The focus group stage was carried out with 7 experts between Supply Chain (SC) managers and Blockchain project managers. The results achieved in the quantitative stage, from the analysis of 336 complete questionnaires through the modeling of structural equations, showed that three hypotheses of the study are supported and one is rejected. Notably, it was identified that the predictor variables Interorganizational Barriers, Intraorganizational Barriers and Legislation Barriers explain 34.2% of the variance in the dependent variable Intention to Adopt Blockchain Technology in Supply Chains in the context of emerging markets. Regarding the focus group, some evidence corroborated the factors that constitute the barriers analyzed in the quantitative phase of this study. In the analyzed barriers, it is highlighted the fact that the intraorganizational barriers presented the highest value for the path coefficient, indicating that it is the construct with the greatest explanatory power of the dependent variable. In general, it was observed that the lack of trust between the members of an allied supply chain and a fear of sharing the data constitute some of the main factors that form the barriers to the adoption of BC technology in SC according to the participants of the focus group. Regarding the contributions of this thesis, some of the contributions of this work are highlighted below. First, the results suggest that the Intra and Interorganizational factors constitute the main barriers to the adoption of BC technology in SC. In addition, it was identified that some factors that constitute barriers may present differences between developed and emerging markets. Finally, several research paths are presented for future research.

However, there are major barriers related to scaling a social innovation, especially in regions characterized by institutional voids. In the face of these challenges, the Dynamic Capabilities theoretical lens and its Microfoundations adapted to the social context can contribute to and support the process of scaling social innovations. In this regadr, this thesis has the main objective of understanding the contribution of Dynamic Capabilities to the scalability of Social Innovation in initiatives developed in remote regions of Brazil characterized by institutional voids. Through a case study in a remote territory of Brazil located in the State of Amapá, with difficult access and precarious infrastructure where Traditional Peoples and Communities live. This territory scaled a methodology of social innovation as a way of developing its territory and overcoming social problems. Aiming to understand how this process took place, this PhD dissertation used the qualitative research method with a scientific approach considered exploratory, using an interpretive paradigm based on this single case study. Data collection consisted of online interviews with different local actors and supplemented by documents. Content analysis was used to analyze the data, resulting in four methodological steps. Among the main results, the theoretical contribution of capabilities in the scaling social innovation stands out, constituting the first theoretical contribution of this thesis: to demonstrate a set of Dynamic Capabilities and specific Microfoundations that were necessary to scale a methodology of social innovation in the context of traditional communities, demonstrating endogenous and exogenous social practices, these results demonstrate that Dynamic Capabilities and their Microfoundations constituted the operationalization of the scalability process. Furthermore, Dynamic Capabilities were the orchestration of a set of endogenous and exogenous social practices resulting in the development of the territory. This thesis further advances the theory by identifying four dimensions, specifically by including the educational dimension as an important element to analyze the development of a territory characterized by institutional voids. Another highlight was the last theoretical contribution demonstrating that the concept of social innovation goes beyond a new social practice, validating the inclusion of process and result logic, proving to be a concept with an integrated view of practice, process, and result.

In a scenario dominated by the advent of information and communication technologies, it is important to discuss the nature of innovation in family farming, understanding that technology alone is not capable of providing operational or financial results, but is an instrument to be added to the model. according to the needs and capabilities of the rural producer, with a focus on productivity and sustainability of the family business. Thus, this research has as its central object of study innovation in rural areas, more specifically in family farms. The general proposition of the study is that innovation in family farms takes place managerially, not by the massive application of technological elements, but by changing the business model, where the rural property, understood as a firm, autonomously, innovatively, proactively, aggressive and taking risks scrutinizes the environment, perceives changes and internalizes information, adapting its strategy through the integration of external elements to its routines, in a process of elaborating alternatives to reconfigure its resources and transform its routines, adapting or changing its business model in a process of disruption or transformation, creating, delivering and capturing value. The study is characterized as explanatory, seeking to answer the question: What is the nature of innovation in family farms? The methodology used is quantitative, the independent variables analyzed in the study are dynamic capabilities and entrepreneurial orientation and the dependent variable is innovation in the business model. Two hypotheses were proposed, the first one affirms that Dynamic Capabilities are positively and significantly related to Innovation in the Business Model. The second states that there is a positive and significant relationship between Entrepreneurial Orientation and Innovation in the Business Model in family farms. The study sample consists of 260 family farms in the southern region of Rio Grande do Sul, more specifically in the Functional Planning Region 5 - RF5, where there are 31,098 agricultural establishments distributed in 21 municipalities. The sample was obtained through indications and references, using the non-probabilistic sampling technique called Snowball Sampling Technique. The composite reliability of all constructs was tested and the hypothesis test was performed using a multivariate regression analysis. The hypothesis that in the analyzed rural properties there is a positive and significant relationship between Entrepreneurial Orientation and Innovation in the Business Model was confirmed. The hypothesis that there is a relationship between Dynamic Capabilities and Innovation in the Business model was rejected, not being proven. However, the literature brings Dynamic Capabilities as an antecedent to innovation in the business model, so a third hypothesis was proposed, that dynamic capabilities are positively and significantly related to entrepreneurial orientation and this hypothesis was confirmed. Thus, the initial theoretical model of this thesis was partially rejected and another one emerged at the end, explaining business model innovation through entrepreneurial orientation and indirectly through dynamic capabilities that are related to entrepreneurial orientation. Therefore, it is concluded that for there to be innovation in the business model, it is not enough that the rural property has dynamic capabilities, but it is also necessary that it has an entrepreneurial orientation.

The thesis objective was to investigate how paradox management contributes to the relationship value in interorganizational networks. In particular, the research explored how tensions emerged from paradoxical elements in interorganizational networks, the role of paradox management in preventing and managing tensions, and the effects of paradoxical tensions on the relationship value in interorganizational networks. A systematic literature review that combined the interorganizational and the paradox literature showed research gaps that guide this study through an inductive approach. Multiple case studies were conducted to meet the objectives. The theoretical sample was composed of two R&D Networks and two Retail Networks. Through within-case analyses and cross-case analyses, the study could present propositions regarding the paradox management contribution to the relationship value in interorganizational networks. Data from the empirical field showed that: (a) contextual factors influence the strength of paradoxes’ poles, which indicates the best response to prevent latent tensions from escalating; (b) paradox management practices may prevent tensions by reframing paradox poles to network members; (c) tensions may emerge when a paradox pole fail to meet network members’ expectations; (d) paradox management may mediate the conflicts to keep paradoxes in an equilibrium state, where tensions may not emerge; (e) effective paradox management may prevent paradoxical tensions from harming relationship value in interorganizational networks. These findings contribute to the literature by a paradigm break, which expands the knowledge of previous models and answers a call by the literature regarding which conditions would guide the choice of the best response to paradoxes. Managerial contributions were presented, as well as recommendations for future studies, which may enable the management of paradoxes.; La presente tesi è incentrata sui i temi: la gestione del paradosso, delle tensioni paradossali e del valore relazionale. L'obiettivo di questo studio era di rispondere alla domanda su come la gestione del paradosso contribuisce al valore della relazione nelle reti interorganizzative. Inoltre, la ricerca ha esplorato come le tensioni emergono degli elementi paradossali nelle reti interorganizzative, il ruolo della gestione dei paradossi nella prevenzione e gestione delle tensioni e gli effetti delle tensioni paradossali sul valore della relazione nelle reti interorganizzative. Una revisione sistematica della letteratura che ha combinato la letteratura interorganizzativa e paradossale ha evidenziato lacune nella ricerca che guidano questo studio attraverso un approccio induttivo. Sono stati condotti studi di casi multipli per rispondere alle domande di ricerca. Il campione teorico era composto da due Reti R&D e due Reti Retail. Attraverso analisi interne dei casi e analisi incrociate, lo studio potrebbe presentare proposte riguardanti al contributo della gestione del paradosso al valore della relazione nelle reti interorganizzative. l´analisi dei dati ha permesso evidenziare che: (a) che i fattori contestuali influenzano la forza dei poli dei paradossi, che indica la migliore risposta per evitare che le tensioni latenti diventino salienti; (b) le pratiche di gestione del paradosso possono prevenire le tensioni riformulando i poli del paradosso ai membri della rete; (c) possono emergere tensioni quando un polo paradosso non riesce a soddisfare le aspettative dei membri della rete; (d) la gestione dei paradossi può mediare i conflitti per mantenere i paradossi in uno stato di equilibrio, in cui le tensioni potrebbero non emergere; (e) un'efficace gestione del paradosso è in grado di impedire che le tensione possono dannegiare il valore della relazione nelle reti interorganizzative. Questi risultati contribuiscono alla letteratura con una rottura di paradigma, che espande la compreensione dei modelli precedenti e risponde a una domanda della letteratura su quali condizioni guiderebbero la scelta della migliore risposta ai paradossi. Sono stati presentati contributi manageriali, che possono consentire la gestione dei paradossi. Inoltre, vengono presentate raccomandazioni per studi futuri.

The concept of innovation ecosystems helps to understand this process, because it brings a holistic and systemic view of the phenomenon. Given that most innovation ecosystems do not emerge spontaneously - but by the result of deliberate experimentation by different actors - the research approaches the theme through the governance structure and the elements that form it. Based on theoretical and conceptual evidence, the study proposes to generate a framework, with seven supporting propositions, of the evolution of the governance structure throughout the different stages of development of an innovation ecosystem in territories. The evaluation in the field is done through multiple case studies, with innovation pacts projects in the territories of Barcelona, Medellin and Porto Alegre. The study points "how" the evolution of the governance structure happens, considering governance contexts. The results show, among other aspects, the importance of using innovation pacts in territories with fragile government contexts, bringing a lower preponderance of the government in relation to the other actors in leading the ecosystem, and a lower tendency of discontinuity over time. A general understanding of these relationships and dynamics can support the processes of shaping new ecosystems in territories and generate insights for policy makers.

Identifying the presence of this environment is complex, as it is associated with other benefits. Literature has contributed to the understanding of these two phenomena – governance-management functions and collaborative environment – separately. So far, five intermediate outcomes that emanate from collaborative environments have been identified: trust, legitimacy, power, justice, and learning. However, the strategic idiosyncrasies among the participants of interorganizational networks make governance-managing necessary to enable an environment conducive to collaboration in these networks. This governance-management can be conducted through the six governance functions illustrated in the literature: alignment, arbitration, organization, mobilization, integration, and monitoring. In this sense, it is necessary to conduct research that enable the association of these functions to the collaborative environment characterized by intermediate results. The present research focuses on filling this gap, analyzing the possible configurations of governance functions that produce this desired collaborative environment. To this end, thirty inter-organizational networks, called State Committees of Hydrographic Basins (CBHs), established by the National Water Agency (ANA) for the management of water resources, located in seven states in three regions of Brazil, were surveyed. These networks are relevant because they were established by the federal government to manage a public good and consist of entities from three different segments: public authorities, users, and communities. To fill the gap, the research method chosen was the Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA). The results showed four configurations of governance functions that favor the presence of a collaborative environment. These configurations demonstrate that by combining the presence of some functions and the absence of others, it is possible to obtain a collaborative environment. This study also presents theoretical contributions through practices identified in the CBHs related to governance functions that favor the collaborative environment in networks aimed at a common good. These practices can be used by the leadership of other CBHs to encourage collaboration. Additionally, recommendations for future studies on the investigated topic are indicated.

Its main objective was to investigate the moderating effect of the type of virtual community, brand or interest, on the engagement and behavioral intention of the consumer participating in virtual communities. This work also added to this context the investigation of the effects of incongruent stimuli when used in virtual community environments. Incongruity was inserted in this work through the Schema Incongruity Processing Theory (SIPT), Mandler (1983). The theory seeks to understand the ways of processing incongruence, determining levels of incongruity and its responses to affective levels according to the resolution by assimilation or accommodation of information and, until then, it had only been used in offline advertising contexts. The objective of this work was reached after a survey operationalization, the final sample of 328 respondents was obtained. The measurement model was verified and validated through the technique of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and analysis of convergent and discriminant validity. The structural model and the generated hypotheses were tested through structural equation analysis (SEM). The model analysis showed a positive relationship between incongruity and the trust, however, it did not show a direct relationship between incongruity and the engagement and commitment constructs. On the other hand, the relationships between the trust and commitment constructs showed a positive relationship with the engagement construct. Finishing the analysis of the proposed direct relationships, the engagement construct showed a positive relationship when analyzing its direct impact on behavioral intention and also on the word-of-mouth construct. Finally, the analysis of the ‘community type’ moderating effect was not considered significant.

Innovation ecosystems are a promising field of study, especially regarding the articulations and contributions of their potential actors. This study analyzes how military organizations work in research and innovation projects and contribute to the formation of innovation ecosystems. The study is justified, considering that the concepts and approaches related to the theme are in evolution; that no academic studies were found addressing how the articulations of military organizations with other actors occur and that the research, considering its originality and differentiated approach, has the potential to contribute with theoretical and empirical results. Concepts on innovation ecosystems, studies on the relationship between the public sector and the private sector in innovation, empirical studies on three consolidated innovation ecosystems in terms of innovation, in which military organizations play a prominent role in generating innovation, form the theoretical basis of the research, value and contribution to economic and social development. As a research method, the case study strategy is adopted. The case of the Brazilian Army (EB) in innovation processes was investigated, considering three incorporated cases, the Management and Technological Innovation Agency (AGITEC), the Defense, Industry and Innovation Academy System (SisDIA de Inovação) and the Integrated Border Monitoring System (SISFRON). Data are collected through document analysis, interviews and observation and analyzed in terms of content. Preliminary analysis categories are considered based on the theoretical framework and the data collected indicated additional subcategories. The results indicate that the processes of knowledge generation aimed at scientific and technological innovation have guided processes of transformation of the EB; that the articulations between actors in innovation contribute to the formation of innovation ecosystems; and that the importance of the public sector in encouraging innovation transcends the creation of infrastructure for innovation and the regulatory apparatus. It is also highlighted, as results, that the performance of the public sector in encouraging innovation has favored the performance of actors, among them, military organizations; that the generation of value in shared activities enables organizational transformations; and that military organizations have the potential to contribute to the generation of value in the formation of innovation ecosystems with economic and social gains, as long as they transcend their primary missions and articulate with other actors in initiatives aimed at conducting scientific and technological innovation processes.

Both themes present gaps identified in previous research. The gap on Dynamic Capabilities points to the incipient explanations on how Dynamic Capabilities are formed. This gap also provides an opportunity to understand the relevance of research that seeks to understand the elements that shape organizational strategy. This search occurs from the theoretical lens of Dynamic Capabilities, which is distinctive because it seeks answers that have not been sufficiently presented by the RBV, especially with regard to obtaining sustainable competitive advantage. As for the controllership theme, the gap lies in the divergences about the actualization of the organizational function of the controllership. To this end, the capabilities of the controllership are proposed, based on the previous studies on the evolution of the functions of the controllership and the basic theory of capabilities. The basic theory of capabilities contributed to the support and alignment of the concepts with the capabilities of the controllership. As the thesis deals with the development of the capabilities of the controllership and its connection to strategy, it proposes a path that helps to fill both pointed gaps. This path is paved by the research objective, which is to identify the impact of the controllership on the foundations of Dynamic Capabilities. The methodology that guides the research was divided into two stages: exploratory and descriptive. The exploratory stage dealt with the research theme and the development of the theoretical framework, the formation of the constructs, the validation of the scales, the formation of the hypotheses and the development of the research instruments and sample selection. The descriptive stage dealt with data collection, the validation procedures of the Dynamic Capabilities scale, ending with the analysis of the information collected and the hypothesis test. The sample included 120 Brazilian companies and two different respondents, responsible for the controlling and strategy areas. The results of this study show that the hypotheses were supported and that new relationships bring together the areas of controlling and strategy and open up a new field of research. Furthermore, it provides a potential managerial contribution that is aimed at the managers responsible for strategy and for the repositioning of the controllership within the organization, in such a way that they can take into account the effects of the analytical, planning and control capabilities of the controllership, updating the organizational function to a level of strategic support.
