- Enabling factors and strategies for the transition toward a circular economy (CE)(2018) de Mattos C.A.; de Albuquerque T.L.M.© 2018 by the authors.This study aims to identify and analyze the enabling factors and strategies for the structuring and diffusion of a circular business model. Circular model structuring involves several actors, challenges, and barriers. In this context, the present study allows discussion of the business structure in line with the principles of circularity and can contribute by mapping the factors and strategies to be worked for business development in the circular context, providing an overview and guidance for academics, businesspeople, and professionals. Through a case study method, the research allowed identification of the factors and an in-depth understanding of the strategies and drivers of circular business models; from the empirical research, it will be possible to identify opportunities that align with what is already known, but also what may be specific to the context of emerging countries to enable the circular model.
- The role of information technology for building virtual environments to integrate crowdsourcing mechanisms into the open innovation process(2018) de Mattos C.A.; Kissimoto K.O.; Laurindo F.J.B.© 2018 Elsevier Inc.Information technology enabled the development of the virtual environment, allowing collaboration with external agents and leveraging the open innovation process. Crowdsourcing is an example of this new environment, using collaboration to enhance capabilities and relationships and as a way to accelerate innovation. However, companies are still searching for the best way to apply the crowdsourcing to internal processes to create value. Based on this context, the general objective of this research is to analyze how Brazilian companies have integrated crowdsourcing mechanisms into the open innovation process. To achieve the objectives, case studies conducted in two Brazilian organizations from different sectors were applied. The results contribute to a better understanding of the adopted crowdsourcing mechanism and the adequate technological aspects that enable the operation of the open innovation process.
- Principles of sustainability and practices in the heavy-duty vehicle industry: A study of multiple cases(2017) Hilsdorf W.D.C.; de Mattos C.A.; de Campos Maciel L.O.© 2016 Elsevier LtdSustainable development is challenging the thinking of organizations, starting to interfere directly in formulating their business strategies. The automotive industry is part of a global context that involves a complex supply chain in which economic, social, and environmental pressures have caused the issue of sustainability to become a competitive edge. Despite its importance, studies point out inconsistencies in the adoption of sustainability practices as broader discussions are not found on the alignment between sustainability principles models in the literature and organizational actions implemented in practice. This research aimed at identifying how the principles of sustainability outlined in the academic literature are aligned with organizational policies and practices in the heavy-duty vehicle industry in Brazil. The study was conducted in three industry companies based in the state of São Paulo, which represent about 74% of jobs in the sector. In general, it is concluded that the environmental dimension is in a more advanced level than the other dimensions with regard to the adoption of sustainability practices. However, there was no evidence that the actions aimed at sustainability are addressed in an integrated manner with regard to investments and generated impacts on environmental, social, and economic dimensions.
