Quantitative research was carried out, having been used as data collection technique, a survey with the supplier companies of the Federal University of Goias - Brazil in 2020. The interpretation of strategic responses to the shock caused by the pandemic in the light of the behavioral theory of firm allowed to conclude that the concept of organizational slack is useful for understanding the associations found between the effects of the pandemic on companies and the strategic answers. By performing a multiple correspondence analysis, it was possible to verify the formation of three distinct groups involving categories of pandemic effects and strategic responses of companies. The association between the negative effects of the pandemic and strategic response of retrenchment can be interpreted as the search for a solution to a deterioration of the organizational slack. The association between the positive effects of the pandemic and the strategic response to innovation illustrates the role played by the organizational slack, allowing flexibility in the face of uncertainty.</p>2023-10-30T19:43:51-07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Aldemy de Souza Silva, Paulo Cesar Bontempo, Bento Alves Costa Filhohttps://macrothink.org/journal/index.php/jmr/article/view/21681Institutional Contexts and Corporate Diversification Strategy2024-02-23T18:53:12-08:00Kong-Hee Kimkkim@stcloudstate.edu<p>There has been a great deal of controversies concerning the performance implications of conglomerate (business group) strategy, often prevalent in emerging economies. The aim of this research is to develop a theoretical model that prescribes the viability of corporate diversification strategy in relation to institutional contexts. The theoretical model suggests that conglomerate strategy will be positively related to firm performance in institutional contexts where the functions of formal market controls and informal normative controls are inefficient, whereas focused/related diversification strategy will be positively related to firm performance in institutional contexts characterized by efficient market and normative controls. The framework synthesizing major theoretical perspectives will contribute to better understanding of the connection between institutional contexts and corporate diversification strategy.</p>2024-02-22T19:15:29-08:00Copyright (c) 2023 Kong-Hee Kimhttps://macrothink.org/journal/index.php/jmr/article/view/21648Unraveling the Materiality Analysis of the Brazilian Health Industry Players: Proposal of a Reference Table2024-02-22T19:47:31-08:00Hong Yuh Chinghongyuhching99@gmail.com<p>The current study proposes a practical and structured approach for performing materiality analysis that results in a reference table with 8 dimensions and 13 material topics. The models of SASB Standards and Sustainable Development Goals as well as requirements of the health industry key players were used as references for this reference table. The key players were divided into producers, intermediaries, and providers besides the regulatory agency. This reference model takes into account a breakdown of the dimensions and topics that are transversal to all groups of players and classifies those that have an impact and are relevant under each group of players. In unraveling the materiality analysis of Brazilian health industry players, it becomes evident that success in this competitive landscape requires a holistic understanding of factors influencing decision-making. The contribution of this article is to delve into the intricate details of the materiality analysis, shedding light on its significance and impact within the Brazilian health industry.</p>2024-02-22T19:26:47-08:00Copyright (c) 2023 HONG YUH CHING
