Editorial
Dear BAR Readers,
As I bring to you six interesting articles, I would like to reinforce BAR’s commitment to a
rigorous, contributive and timely editorial process. BAR’s team of devoted reviewers and editors has
successfully contributed to the improvement of the content and methods of articles by means of close
dialogue between reviewers and editor and between the editor-in-chief and authors.
We are proud of BAR’s contribution to the (domestic and international) dissemination of
academic knowledge.
Now, let me present to you the six articles that compose the present issue.
The first article (“Pro-social Motivation beyond Firm Boundaries: The Case of the Genolyptus
Network”, by Nicolai Foss and Rosileia Milagres) c hallenges the conventional wisdom that pro-social
motivations are manifested only under the realm of firm boundaries. An in-depth study of a single case
– the Genolyptus (a cooperative network of firms in the pulp & paper and the energy industries as well
as of research centers and universities, dedicated to the investigation of the eucalyptus genome) –
provides evidence of how and why pro-social motivations can emerge out of wider organizational and
market delimitations, comprising the joint effort of several actors.
The second paper (“Inhibition and Encouragement of Entrepreneurial Behavior: Antecedents
Analysis from Ma nagers’ Perspectives”, by Marcos Hashimoto and Vânia Nassif) starts from the
observation that entrepreneurial behavior may emerge even in the absence of explicit corporate
incentives. Findings suggest that, while corporate practices can induce the development of
entrepreneurial behavior, managers’ attitudes play a more central role in the manifestation of corporate
entrepreneurship.
The next paper (“Intangible Assets and Superior and Sustained Performance of Innovative
Brazilian Fir ms”, by Márcia De Luca, Anna Beatriz Maia, Vanessa C ardoso, Alessandra de
Vasconcelos and Jacqueline da Cunha) investigated the relationship between intangible assets and
sustained organizational performance. Contrary to expectations, the magnitude of intangible assets
was found to be greater in firms without higher performance.
The fourth ar ticle (“Understanding Supply N etworks from C omplex Adaptive Systems”, by
Jamur Marchi, Rolf Erdmann and Carlos Rodriguez) provides a theoretical rationale for the
application of complex adaptive systems (CAS) to the study of supply networks, by integrating system
and complexity as well as dynamic and holistic elements.
The next paper (“Heterogeneity of Isomorphic Pressures: Intertwining the Resource-Based
View and the Neoinstitutional Approach”, by Silvio Popadiuk, Edward Rivera R ivera and Walter
