Purpose Network analysis is a well consolidated research area in several disciplines. Within management and organizational studies, network scholars consolidated a set of research practices that allowed ease of data collection, high inter case comparability, establishment of nomological laws and commitment to social capital motivation. This paper a...

Brazil is widely known for its high levels of social inequality and poor rates of education. In the late twentieth century, it was still among the nations with the highest income inequality and lowest average educational levels among the poor in the world. This chapter shows that the standard model of supply and demand for skills appears useful whe...

Rescaling might be a response to network failure. In order to describe a network’s modes of governance, this chapter borrows the idea of ‘disciplines of control’. This framework is applied to the Brazil Grows Together (BCJ) case, a policy aimed at pregnant women and early childhood care in a state in Brazil. Constituency pressures at state level le...

Extant literature on organizational fields has relied widely on social network analysis to understand how individual actors are related to each other and located at relational positions. In tandem, social network analysis has also been deployed to explore individual trajectories. In this chapter the author articulates both approaches, while explori...

We explore the relationship between network role, territorial location and the adoption of transgressive styles on jazz music between 1950 and 1969. Our study contributes to the literature on the role of networks in the adoption of innovations, employing the following analytic strategies: (1) we use regular equivalence to identify clusters hierarch...

The DPaschoal case is an example of realignment of various elements of organizational architecture in order to adapt to external contingencies. The case focuses on the best incentive structure to be used to match the concept of creating value for the client. DPaschoal has been in the market since 1949, and is a leader in the automotive industry, se...

Based on the Theory of the Convention (Boltaski and Thevenot, 1991), I present the "project order" developed by Boltanski and Chiapello and use it as a parameter to assess the primary studies of intra-organizational social networks. I recover from the book "The New Spirit of Capitalism," the Order of Projects' main features. I show how the theoreti...

I suggest that rescaling might be a response to network failure. In order to describe a network's modes of governance, I borrow the idea of 'disciplines of control'. This framework is applied to the Brazil Grows Together (BCJ) case, a policy aimed at pregnant women and early childhood care in a state in Brazil. I show that constituency pressures at...

Durante o debate sobre o atentado ao Charlie Hebdo no início deste ano, houve um grande número de artigos que se alinhavam em dois polos: “ir contra os ataques, mas mostrar como o C.H. era imoral”,2 ou “defender a liberdade de expressão, enfatizando que algo deveria ser feito em relação aos fundamentalistas”.3 De uma forma ou de outra, o foco era o...

This paper expands on Peterson's process model for historical changes in jazz. Peterson suggests that, given certain circumstances, musical genres migrate from ‘low-brow’ to ‘high-brow’. I test this proposition for jazz by investigating whether bandleaders were associated through the same sidemen (‘sidemen overlap’) across time, and the underlying...

Ametáfora do Jazz foi introduzida nos Estudos Organizacionais com o objetivo de estimular a adoção de práticas que levassem a um maior grau de improvisação. Essa apropriação foi feita assumindo-se um alto grau de cooperação, em oposição a organizações altamente formalizadas onde as rotinas se apresentariam como rígidas e geradoras de inércia. Esse...

Several studies have addressed how forms of coordination are conditioned by social mechanisms such as trust, reciprocity, control, cooperation and copying. This level of analysis is a critique of the utilitarian tradition, which assumes economic behavior is only minimally affected by relationships and social structure. On the other hand, from the i...

A major problem of the music industry is dealing with consumers who download music from the internet without paying royalties. The aim of this paper is to explore what factors could lead the undergraduate students to increase the legitimacy of their music downloads.

Decision in favor of quali or quanti methods is traditionally mediated by the debate between paradigms of knowledge construction. In general, the text-books on methodology of the research associate the quali methods to the constructivist-phenomenological paradigm, whereas the quanti methods are usually associated to positivist pretensions. This art...

An “organizational field” might be depicted as a social network of actors who are engaged in reciprocal monitoring. Our major goal is to probe the extent that social actors devote similar cognitive attention depending on the social categories they share. We interviewed 35 rappers in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Throughout the interviews, we sh...

The Game Theory approach has been fruitful in analyzing strategic contexts, while its assumptions have attracted important criticism from the sociological field. Specifically, the sociological criticism portrays GT as failing to explain trust among individuals. In addition, social dilemmas seem to obscure the explanation of how cooperation is possi...

Ateoria de Clusters, com origens na teoria marshalliana de distritos industriais, ganhou um novo impulso com os estudos publicados recentemente por Porter. Em sua teoria, aspectos de economia geográfica, complexos industriais e dinâmica competitiva fundem-se para caracterizar o cluster porteriano. O construto do cluster, entretanto, ainda necessita...

A teoria Neo-Institucional define Campos Organizacionais como espaços onde atores compartilham regras, esquemas interpretativos e consentem com as instituições estabelecidas. A partir dessa perspectiva, espera-se que as formas sociais sejam adotadas e difundidas pelos membros do campo. Essa visão de campo tem sido expandida para dar conta dos confl...
