Cooperação, estratificação e perfil da pesquisa em estratégia no Brasil

Abstract

COOPERAÇÃO, ESTRATIFICAÇÃO E PERFIL DA PESQUISA EM ESTRATÉGIA NO BRASIL RESUMOA análise documental de publicações permite identificar características e tendências expressas em determinada área do conhecimento científico. Tendo em vista a área de Estratégia em Organizações, este estudo analisou 765 artigos, publicados entre 2001 e 2006, nos anais dos EnAnpad e 3Es, objetivando avaliar quantitativamente os delineamentos de pesquisa utilizados e analisar tendências acerca dos padrões de estratificação e cooperação na área. Por meio de procedimentos estatísticos e da técnica multivariada de análise de correspondência múltipla, verificou-se a predominância de uma produção científica voltada para artigos empíricos apoiados primordialmente em estudos de caso e análises quantitativas tipo surveys. Observou-se também que, ao longo do período investigado, houve crescimento da área no que concerne ao número de artigos, autores e instituições, com ocorrência de maior cooperação na produção acadêmica, além de alterações nos padrões de estratificação regional e institucional.

Assessing the Methodological Differences Between Brazilian Journals and Top Journals in Strategy

“…In the same way, in Brazil, the interest in studying strategy has increased in the last decades. It can be perceived by significant growth in the volume of academic publications in strategy, by the number of researchers working in this field, and by the intensification of the ties of co-authorship among researchers (Saraiva & Carrieri, 2009;Rossoni et al, 2010;Walter, Bach, Lanza, & Sato, 2013;Guerras-Martín et al, 2014). Such increase also reflects other aspects as the growth of the number of graduates and the rigor of those programs, and of Brazilian governmental institutions for better results (Saraiva & Carrieri, 2009).…”

“…Such increase also reflects other aspects as the growth of the number of graduates and the rigor of those programs, and of Brazilian governmental institutions for better results (Saraiva & Carrieri, 2009). In the same vein, the creation of thematic tracks in the Brazilian meeting of research in management and the creation of the 3Es, a Brazilian meeting of studies in strategy contributed to expand the research in strategy in the country (Rossoni et al, 2010). Regarding the general content of the Brazilian research on strategy, it is a ISSN 1678-6971 (electronic version) • RAM, São Paulo, 19(3), eRAMR180009, 2018 doi:10.1590/1678-6971/eRAMR180009 tendency to select problems and other aspects that better express the strategic reality of national firms.…”

“…Such indicators as new theoretical directions in the field and the emergence of new and important topics of investigation increase consensus to basic notions, growth of the research methods used and improvement of their sophistication, and growth of the academic community dedicated to the field according to Guerras-Martín et al (2014). The present growth of the strategy field suggests the necessity of comparing scientific publication as a way and resource to establish the present limits of the field and to know its possibilities of evolution (Rossoni et al, 2010).…”

“…Thus, the analysis of publications in an academic field is an important device frequently used to evaluate its development, to compare with development in other fields and to throw light on its present limitations and future possibilities (Saraiva & Carrieri, 2009;Rossoni et al, 2010). Brazilian researchers have performed review studies in strategy, mainly after the year 2000, but studies which focus on methodological procedures are still rare.…”

“…To our knowledge, methodological reflections in the strategy field in Brazil have been limited 1. to compare papers with the methodology literature (Oliveira et al, 2012) or 2. to summarize the methods used in papers (Rossoni, Guarido Filho, Francisconi, & Albuquerque Filho, 2010). Although the definition of the best research method based on research problem is effortless, lack of resources and barriers to access primary or secondary data constrain the implementation of research, resulting only in satisfactory procedures.…”
