Whereas there are discussions about the pandemic impacts on health care workers, less is known about how it affects police officer's responses. Drawing upon an inductive qualitative research that follows the ethnographic sensibility inspired approach on a major Brazilian police force, we argue that conflicts concerning political, occupational culture, and material dimensions can negatively affect police officers' responses in financially and institutionally constrained settings. By unveiling how the identified conflicts can jeopardize the efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and suggesting that the usual discretion of street-level bureaucrats can be both a blessing and a curse, our work informs existing SLB literature and sheds light on practical issues that police officers in constrained settings face when dealing with the pandemic.

A pesquisa abarcou três experiências nas áreas de saúde, saneamento e esporte/cultura e avaliou todas as fases do ciclo de vida de cada PPP, da etapa inicial de enquadramento da proposta à execução contratual, passando pelas fases de financiamento e construção. Os principais resultados apontam que os diversos tipos de stakeholders (deliberantes, demandantes, controladores e financiadores) apresentam padrões de convergência e de divergência de interesses ao longo do ciclo de vida das PPP. De igual sorte, os achados da pesquisa revelam que os diversos stakeholders aparentam estar menos preparados para as etapas mais avançadas dos projetos. Tais resultados contribuem para os atuais debates sobre a aplicação da teoria de stakeholders no âmbito do setor público ao fornecer uma visão em perspectiva acerca dos padrões de atuação de grupos distintos de stakeholders ...

A atividade policial enfrenta inúmeras dificuldades. Além de restrições orçamentárias e resistências a uma atuação conjunta de diferentes forças policiais, o contexto da sociedade, com crises econômicas e desemprego, por exemplo, pode levar ao aumento dos índices de criminalidade, independente de aumento do esforço policial. Sendo assim, escolhas realizadas por gestores da área não são suficientes para atingir os resultados desejados nos indicadores finalísticos. A despeito disso, os desafios da área exigem ações gerenciais rápidas e inovadoras. Ao colocar os alunos no papel de um gestor recebem empossado em um governo estadual fictício, porém utilizando referências de experiências reais, este caso propõe uma série de reflexões sobre mensuração de desempenho, incentivos e governança no setor público.

We highlight striking differences between these countries and argue that the explanation for these differences requires an understanding of the incentives provided by the distribution of property rights as well as the incentives resulting from other factors like decision and revenue rights distribution and institutions. The theoretical literature normally analyzes these blocks separately. We argue that the main driving factors for efficient arrangements do not rely on one particular element but rather on the way these elements are combined, giving rise to a superior governance structure.

Enquadramento teórico: Utiliza-se, como suporte para a análise, a literatura sobre governança colaborativa e inovações em governos, com destaque para a sua aplicação na área de segurança pública. Metodologia: Por meio de regressões logísticas e análise de clusters espaciais, analisamos dados referentes a 319.487 veículos subtraídos no município de São Paulo entre 2015 e 2017.

Fragmented information may affect people’s perceptions and behaviors, especially in times of governmental miscommunication, potentially jeopardizing efforts aimed at containing the spread of the disease. To test whether and how people have been sensitive to broken information during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, we performed a randomized survey experiment on a sample of 571 respondents. We found that more pessimistic or more optimistic fragmented messages about the pandemic have no overall significant average effect on perceptions and planned behavior of the respondents. The exploratory analyses showed that particular sociodemographic groups are more sensitive to these fragmented messages. While less educated people react to more pessimistic messages with an increased likelihood to intensify prevention measures, people aged 60 or older - the high-risk group for COVID-19 complications - react to more optimistic messages with ...

The capacity to invest in several distinct CSR categories at varying levels (e.g., environmental innovation, diversity, community) leaves firms with a multitude of patterns from which to choose. However, the question of whether market returns to CSR are defined by individual-level positioning choices or by industry-level conditions––particularly the materiality of distinct categories of CSR investment––remains unresolved. Drawing from literature on the uniqueness of strategic choices, we theorize that unique CSR strategies are likely to be more effective in helping firms explore complementarities and gain access to valuable resources provided by key stakeholders. Using a novel measure of uniqueness of CSR strategies and a database containing environmental, social, and financial information of 2,093 firms between 2002 and 2017, we find a strong positive association between the uniqueness of a firm’s CSR position and market value. Yet we also show that uniqueness is constrained by materiality: market returns to unique CSR positioning are negatively associated with the number of CSR categories that comprise material issues to a given industry. To shed further light on the mechanisms driving the role of materiality, we examine the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Design/methodology/approach The authors build a unique data set with 296 contracts signed between a major firm supplying petrochemical goods and its 128 customers between 2013 and 2016. They use Insider Econometrics as their methodological approach. Findings The econometric results suggest that contracts involving higher volume of trade, higher levels of dedicated assets representing seller’s specific investments in each transaction, and contracts comprising more than one product present an increased likelihood of being renewed. Research limitations/implications Although limited to a single organization, this paper contributes to management theories focused on buyer–supplier relationships in which coordination between interdependent parties is required. Practical implications Practitioners engaged in B2B relationships may benefit from the findings to shape their ba...

Findings The authors demonstrate the subjects involved in Insider Econometrics realm and provide a framework to guide management scholars to successfully engage in research involving strong partnerships between academia and real world organizations.

Design/methodology/approach-The authors collect indications from two stylized examples, prisons and defense, to develop propositions as a step toward assessing the potential role of hybrids as alternatives to direct public provision or full privatization in the delivery of critical services. Findings-This paper examines the conditions under which hybrid arrangements outperform the polar cases of public bureaus and full privatization in the delivery of a specific subset of public goods that the authors identify as "critical services". Originality/value-The authors suggest that there might be comparative advantages in relying on hybrid arrangements rather than the usual solutions of fully private or fully governmental provision. However, they also submit that these advantages are conditional to the capacity of hybrids to reconcile competing interests to achieve socioeconomic cohesion, to combine capabilities dispersed among partners to benefit from positive externalities and to satisfy legitimacy concerns with respect to the role of government.

O presente estudo tem por objetivo investigar o comportamento das PPP e suas variações contratuais na provisão de arenas esportivas para a Copa do Mundo Fifa Brasil 2014 numa perspectiva comparada às modalidades de provisão pública tradicional e estritamente privada. Para tanto, utilizou-se uma abordagem metodológica qualitativa, inserida numa perspectiva exploratória por meio de estudo de casos múltiplos. Os resultados sugerem que os projetos de PPP geraram value for money para a administração pública brasileira, sobretudo referente aos aspectos de prazo, custos, receitas diversificadas e processo licitatório em decorrência das estruturas de incentivos oriundas dos contratos de PPP e da própria flexibilidade gerencial inerente aos atores privados.

After presenting an adherence analysis between the suggested model and PMBOK, we apply the proposed instrument in a real case study: an ERP implementation at the largest Brazilian mail service and logistics organization. The main results show that the proposed model was largely successful because it identified and classified risks. Furthermore, the model helped to document the strategies and action plans needed to respond to these risks.

Assim, como forma de discutir novos instrumentos para formulação de políticas públicas para o setor prisional, o presente trabalho busca compreender o potencial analítico da Nova Economia Institucional (NEI), no que se refere ao estudo dos limites de atuação do setor público na construção, gestão e operação de estabelecimentos penais no Brasil. Para tanto, após uma breve explanação sobre o quadro atual do sistema prisional brasileiro, com base nos ferramentais fornecidos pela Nova Economia Institucional desenvolvem-se proposições teóricas relacionadas à participação de atores privados no setor penitenciário.

Para tanto, primeiramente, discute-se as PPPs e seus riscos. A presença de riscos associados às PPPs suscita a incorporação da teoria de opções reais - instrumental capaz de lidar com situações de incerteza quando da análise de investimentos. Tendo como pano de fundo as discussões em torno da candidatura da cidade de Salvador como sede à Copa do Mundo de Futebol de 2014 no Brasil, realizamos um exercício que ilustra as condições em que as PPPs são adequadas para a viabilização de uma nova arena esportiva apta a atender os padrões estipulados pela FIFA. Para operacionalizar o problema, estabelecemos uma metodologia de cálculo para o prêmio de um seguro a ser contratado para situações de baixa demanda. Ao final do artigo conclui-se que, em função das incertezas de demanda associadas à bilheteria de jogos de futebol, em parte cond...

Contractual approaches, mainly derived from Transaction Costs Economics, offer some plausible explanations for reintegration originating from outsourcing failure. These explanations are mainly related to asset specificity, poor contractual design, and deficient monitoring. The study of a real case of outsourcing interruption in industrial maintenance illustrates these different factors. However, some other determinants might complement the contractual and strategic background, namely bandwagon behavior and institutional pressure exerted by external actors. Finally, we propose an integrative framework that combines micro-and macro-levels of organizational analysis. We argue that some existing complementarities between the different theories we use here can shed some light on real organizational problems. Besides the implications for theory, our work can help managers to understand the dynamics of organizational boundaries, thus allowing them to make better choices in both outsourcing and reintegration decisions.

We contribute to this debate by focusing on the so-called "guarding the guardians" dilemma: monitoring commissions made up of public officials who may refrain from punishing their peers and turn a blind eye to certain deviations. In the police, this is the case of internal affairs divisions (IADs), which are organizations crafted to monitor the behavior of police officers. We expand the existing literature by proposing a set of hypotheses that are tested using a distinct dataset containing detailed information on investigations against police officers performed by an IAD. We assess the organizational performance of the IAD by examining how various factors influence competing hazards of acquittal, mild and harsh punishment of the implicated officers. We find that high-ranking, high-tenured officers are less harshly punished with termination of duty, while the opposite effect is found with respect to cases with extensive media coverage. We also find that cases judged by specialized investigation officers increase the likelihood of punishment compared to cases assigned to temporary, rotating commissions, especially for cases with a long time span.

We also find that cases judged by specialized investigation officers increase the likelihood of punishment compared to cases assigned to temporary, rotating commissions, especially for cases with a long time span.

After presenting an adherence analysis between the suggested model and PMBOK, we apply the proposed instrument in a real case study: an ERP implementation at the largest Brazilian mail service and logistics organization. The main results show that the proposed model was largely successful because it identified and classified risks. Furthermore, the model helped to document the strategies and action plans needed to respond to these risks.
