Five research themes were selected: learning, citizenship, justice, commitment, and socialization. In total, we analysed the paradigmatic orientations of 276 papers published in high-rank peer review Brazilian journals between 2004 and 2014. The functionalist or the interpretive paradigms predominate, but there are also inter-paradigmatic papers, which indicate the epistemological plurality in this field. More established themes show more paradigmatic diversity in comparison to recent themes. Burrell and Morgan's model was applicable to paradigmatic analysis of empirical studies in WOP; nevertheless, findings corroborate criticism of the assumption of exclusivity between paradigms. Future studies could explore trends in paradigmatic orientations in other themes and investigate the implications of this multi-paradigmatic perspective on knowledge production in WOP. Pesquisa empírica em POT no Brasil: Uma análise paradigmática Resumo Este artigo apresenta uma análise paradigmática da literatura em Psicologia Organizacional e do Trabalho produzida no Brasil, baseada no modelo de Burrell e Morgan (1979). Cinco temas de pesquisa foram selecionados: aprendizagem, cidadania, justiça, comprometimento e socialização organizacional. Ao todo, foram investigadas as orientações paradigmáticas de 276 artigos publicados em periódicos brasileiros qualificados, entre 2004 e 2014. Observou-se a predominância do paradigma funcionalista ou do interpretativo, e a ocorrência de artigos interparadigmáticos, evidenciando pluralidade epistemológica no campo. Temas mais estabelecidos mostram mais diversidade paradigmática em comparação a temas recentes. O modelo de Burrell e Morgan mostrou-se aplicável a análises paradigmáticas de estudos empíricos em POT. Contudo, os resultados corroboram críticas ao pressuposto da exclusividade entre paradigmas. Estudos futuros poderiam explorar tendências nas orientações paradigmáticas em outros temas e investigar as implicações dessa perspectiva multiparadigmática na produção de conhecimento em POT. La investigación empírica en POT en Brasil: Un análisis paradigmático Resumen En este artículo se presenta un análisis paradigmático de la literatura en Psicología Organizacional y del Trabajo, producida en Brasil, basada en el modelo de Burrell y Morgan (1979). Se han seleccionado seis temas de investigación, a saber: aprendizaje, ciudadanía, justicia, comprometimiento y socialización. En total, se han investigado las orientaciones paradigmáticas de 276 artículos publicados en revistas brasileñas cualificadas entre 2004 y 2014. Los resultados han demostrado el predominio del paradigma funcionalista o interpretativo, y la ocurrencia de artículos interparadigmáticos, indicando la pluralidad epistemológica en el campo. Temas más establecidos en el área demuestran más diversidad paradigmática en comparación con temas recientes. El modelo de Burrell y Morgan demostró ser aplicable a los análisis paradigmáticos de los estudios empíricos de POT. Sin embargo, los resultados corroboran las críticas a la premisa de la exclusividad entre paradigmas. Estudios futuros podrían explorar tendencias en las orientaciones paradigmáticas en otros temas y, además, investigar las implicaciones de esa perspectiva multiparadigmática en la producción del conocimiento en POT.

Para isto, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 15 professores e três funcionários encarregados dos programas de transferência de tecnologia na universidade. Como resultado, identificou-se heterogeneidade de posicionamentos dos professores sobre a interação universidade-empresa e propôs-se uma tipologia os dividindo em quatro grupos com características particulares, sendo: 1) Colaboradores Circunstanciais, são professores que têm um contato esporádico com as empresas; 2) Independentes, são os professores que têm foco no desenvolvimento de iniciativas próprias via spin-off, e que têm um contato esporádico com as empresas; 3) Integrados, são os professores com foco na transferência de conhecimentos e pesquisas, que veem nas empresas um parceiro estratégico mas não desejam empreender; 4) Empreendedores Acadêmicos, são os professores com foco no desenvolvimento de iniciativas próprias via spin-off, que veem nas empresas um parceiro estratégico. Recomenda-se que as universidades avancem na criação de programas de inovação e transferência de tecnologia que sejam mais flexíveis e variados, entendendo que os incentivos e as iniciativas que são adequadas para um tipo de professor não necessariamente o são para outros.

Specifically, it examines how the laboratory research infrastructure, team qualification and local incentives influence knowledge and technology transfer in biotechnology. Despite the importance of the research laboratory for an entrepreneurial university and the development of new technologies, few studies have focused on this level of analysis. This research addresses this literature gap with data from two leading laboratories in a highly-ranked Brazilian university. Data were collected through questionnaires on laboratory infrastructure and channels of collaboration with firms, interviews with laboratory leaders and key post-doc fellows, and documentary research. The results show that physical infrastructure, biological samples and qualified teams enabled technology transfer to firms. The main channel of interaction between these laboratories and firms i...

Despite the importance of laboratory infrastructure for an entrepreneurial university and the development of new technologies, there are few studies focusing on this level of analysis. This study explores this literature gap with data from two leading laboratories in a high-ranked university in Brazil, the Federal University of Minas Gerais. This case study includes the application of two questionnaires to describe laboratory infrastructure and its firm collaboration, five interviews with laboratory leaders and key post-doc fellows, and documentary research. Results show that physical infrastructure, biological samples, and qualified people enabled technology transfer to firms. The channels of interaction between the laboratories and firms were identified. Spin-offs are a channel for technology transfer in the two laboratories, performing a bilateral hybrid function of disseminating university research results and brokering patent licensing to firms. Spin-offs also contribute to the absorptive capacity of other firms and, above all, allow laboratories to disclose results to the community and potential end-users. Findings present a new perspective on spin-off technology transfer in Brazil and in other developing countries.

Acting as enabling brokers, incubators facilitate the public-private interaction through policy and planning (Helmsing 2006), and play the role of development policy agent to prevent high rates of closure in start-ups (SEBRAE 2007). Nevertheless, the incubators’ brokerage, and the potentialities this brings to local development processes, are scarce. Consequently, this implies a poor understanding and management of these networks.

It discusses the potential of ICH to generate frugal innovations, contributing to improving communities’ quality of life and enhancing the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage. A type of innovation constrained by limited resources, frugal innovation means the development of processes, products or services reduced to core functionalities with optimised performance levels, addressing the needs of the bottom of the pyramid market. When implemented at community level, it aims to create a novel solution from the scarce resources available to respond to the needs of the communities concerned. This paper presents two case studies - the Indian Mitticool, and the Australian WALFA project - to illustrate the transformation of specific traditional knowledge into frugal innovations, and their impact on their respective communities. The analysis will build on the conceptual framework proposed by Soni and Krishnan (2014) that defines the dimensions of frugal innovation in terms of mindset, process and product. This paper then analyses the institutional framework provided by the 2003 Convention, especially its Chapter VI on ‘Sustainable Development’, to legitimise and leverage ICH-related frugal innovations, as well as to ensure that this transformation is fair and collectively beneficial.

Tem-se em vista o desafio de ampliar a concepção de ciência, ainda muito associada ao modelo positivista, para incluir a perspectiva de epistemologias emergentes. Esse debate requer a contextualização do conhecimento produzido, especialmente no Brasil de hoje, marcado por um histórico de exclusão social e posturas antagônicas. Com o propósito didático de gerar e fortalecer a consciência dos discentes acerca da diversidade de vozes sociais e da necessidade de se engajar politicamente para promover os Direitos Humanos, a disciplina é estruturada para abarcar o surgimento e os aspectos éticos de métodos qualitativos nas Ciências Humanas e na Psicologia, a relevância da pesquisa para os psicólogos e os principais aspectos de algumas modalidades e técnicas de coleta e análise de dados. Algumas estratégias didáticas consistem na elaboração de um projeto de pesquisa, avaliação de painéis em eventos científicos locais e entrevistas com estagiários em Psicologia. Essa pluralidade de atividades fomenta a formação metodológica dos estudantes, aproximando-os da complexidade e do dinamismo das abordagens qualitativas, bem como refletindo a policromia das epistemologias emergentes.

The literature, however, also highlights the methodological difficulty to unpack learning. With the support of cognitive-behavioural theories of learning and the use of a multi-method approach, this study investigates the evolution of business start-ups and interactions between markets, institutions and learning strategies. In retrospective interviews, entrepreneurs-founders of 43 Brazilian start-ups reconstructed the storyline of the first three to five years of their firms, focussing on critical learning episodes. Analyses of the narratives resulted in 207 critical learning episodes, based on the analytical framework, empirical content, expert evaluation and the literature. These episodes were clustered in five categories. Quantitative descriptive analysis showed the cross-cutting dynamics of these episodes. Then, relationships between episodes were in...

A framework that combines individual learning processes with the Penrosian resource-based theory of the firm, and the concepts of search and routines from evolutionary economics provides the theoretical ground on which this study is developed. Multilevel factors, ranging from entrepreneurial agency to the institutional setting of business development services, represent different levels of analysis. These levels are connected through critical learning episodes, which are triggered by endogenous or exogenous factors and culminate in the creation of new or in the change of current organizational routines. These episodes were narrated by 43 entrepreneurs-founders through semi-structured interviews. Their business start-ups were operating for an average of 4 years (s.d.=1,9) and were linked to business incubation programmes in the two most resource-rich regions in Brazil. These start-...

Os dados foram coletados entre fevereiro e julho de 2007. Um questionário eletrônico foi enviado aos coordenadores de 58 programas em funcionamento nesse período. Destes, 32 (55%) responderam à pesquisa, e informaram as relações do próprio programa com os demais 57 programas, em sete atividades: pesquisas conjuntas, produção intelectual compartilhada, realização de eventos científicos, disciplinas compartilhadas, intercâmbio de professores, intercâmbio de estudantes, e participação em comissões examinadoras de dissertações e teses. Os atributos dos programas foram identificados nas páginas eletrônicas da CAPES e de cada programa. Os resultados mostram que: (1) a rede pesquisada é pouco densa, com relações esparsas e, na maioria das vezes, fracas entre programas; (2) a localização geográf...
