“…Ora, se as organizações fazem parte de um sistema social mais amplo, cujas atitudes são avaliadas com base em um conjunto de crenças, valores e pressupostos, é provável que o julgamento, a aceitação e a credibilidade dessas organizações perante seus diversos stakeholders condicionem a capacidade de elas adquirirem recursos. Sendo assim, partindo de uma perspectiva organizacional e sociológica da estratégia (KIRSCHBAUM e GUARIDO FILHO, 2011;RUEF, 2003), entendemos que o desempenho das organizações não seja somente resultado de uma combinação de recursos em contextos econô-micos determinados, mas também condicionado pela capacidade de validarem suas atitudes perante suas audiências, tendo como base critérios legitimamente aceitos na sociedade. Em poucas palavras, enfatizamos, neste estudo, que aquelas organizações que incorporam elementos legítimados no ambiente tendem a ser vistas como legítimas (MEYER e ROWAN, 1977), o que, por sua vez, as leva a gozar de maiores chances de sobrevivência e de angariar recursos (PARSONS, 1956;PFEFFER e SALANCIK, 1978).…”

This paper assesses how legitimacy conditions the market value of companies listed on the BM&F Bovespa. We specifically analyze how joining the Novo Mercado moderates the effect of legitimacy on company value. For such, 348 organizations were investigated between 2002 and 2007, which generated a total of 1357 observations. Adherence to the Novo Mercado, the prestige of board members and company reputation significantly affect market value. When the organizations are divided in accordance with the level of governance, cultural-cognitive origins and legitimacy standards are seen to significantly affect market value in groups with a lower degree of governance, whereas among Novo Mercado companies, the influence was not as significant. In face of these results, legitimacy is shown to be an important factor in explaining variability in the performance of publicly traded companies and the presence in differentiated listings of governance conditioned the influence of other origins of legitimacy in market value. keywords Performance, corporate governance, legitimacy, market value, stock exchange.

“…The factors that affect path liberation and how this may influence the potential for change or strategic inertia could be further studied. On the other hand, it may be interesting to investigate the institutional contextual constraints on SP and control ceremonialism, as recommended by Kirschbaum and Guarido Filho (2011) and Ruef (2003), in order to explain, not the adoption but the commitment of the organizational agency in situations in which ceremonialism and decoupling (linked to strategic inertia) are associated with negative effects on the organization's future.…”

“…Understanding strategy phenomenon and the processes associated with choices, formulation, planning, control, and evaluation of strategic performance requires one to consider its nature and social constraints (Clegg et al, 2004;Kirschbaum and Guarido Filho, 2011;Vaara and Durand, 2012), especially regarding informal aspects and non-instrumental motivations of economic action (Chakravarthy and White, 2002;Langley, 1988Langley, , 1991Mintzberg, 1994Mintzberg, , 2004Pettigrew, 1977Pettigrew, , 1992Pettigrew, , 1997. Therefore, for the analysis of this case study, it was considered that the relationship between the trajectory of organizational performance and the pattern of strategic business decisions is conditioned by political, ceremonial, cognitive, and discursive aspects, which act like mechanisms that reinforce the path-dependent process, favoring strategic inertia.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between organizational performance and the pattern of strategic decisions formalized in the planning of a Brazilian heavy construction company between 2006 and 2014. In this period, the company experienced a recurrent pattern of maintaining strategic decisions, despite the systematic decrease in performance and investments in the formal strategic planning (SP) and monitoring of results. The research focus is on strategic inertia and the influence of social determinants on the relationship between performance and the strategic actions negotiated in formal planning. Design/methodology/approach This is a single-case study. The exploratory-descriptive research comprises data collection on performance and strategic decisions from the period between 2006 and 2014. The analysis was guided through documentary material and data collected from 16 interviews conducted with members of the middle to top management concerning performance, goals, and strategic initiatives. The interviewees’ statements were used to apprehend the interpreted dimension of SP expressed in the meanings attributed to this process. The analysis adopts a sociological base, and strategic inertia is the underlying phenomenon that guides this analysis. Findings The results show the interactive effect caused by political, cognitive, discursive, and ceremonial mechanisms obstruct the company’s strategic decisions. This case study illustrates that the conditions for the phenomenon of path dependence were created, reinforcing the strategic inertia observed in the maintenance of a reproduced pattern of strategic initiatives and goals, even though the performance was recurrently unsatisfactory. In this case, strategic inertia showed a complex relationship between the interpreted performance and strategic actions negotiated in formal planning, conditioned by mechanisms of trajectory reinforcement that interfered with the conditions for strategic change. Research limitations/implications Strategic inertia demonstrates a complex relationship between the interpreted performance and strategic actions negotiated in formal planning, conditioned by mechanisms of trajectory reinforcement that interfere with the conditions for strategic change. Future research on social mechanisms from the perspective of strategy-as-practice could be developed to capture the tacit components, language, power games, and other relevant categories in the social interaction of strategy development at the organizational level. In addition, future research could focus on investigating the extent to which path dependence is contingent, assuming that it is a temporary and, therefore, reversible process. Practical implications This work contributes to the view of SP from the social perspective and shows that the relationship between performance and strategy has biases that can compromise performance. The work highlights implications for maintaining strategic initiative patterns, which shape a path whose function is less associated with its effects on performance and more associated with the commitment to instrumental results, due to the social nature of organizations. Social implications This work deals with social mechanisms that influence strategic decisions. Since organizational performance depends on strategic decisions, the social nature of strategic inertia has causal implications to economic and social impact of organizations. Originality/value This work argues in favor of the influence of self-reinforcing mechanisms of path dependence in the relationship between performance and strategic decisions. The results extended the predominantly structural approach of path dependence by considering interpretive aspects related to the political, discursive, cognitive, and ceremonial dimensions of strategic inertia.

“…Chegando-se ao final desse ensaio teórico, analisando o exposto entende-se como necessário recorrer a constructos e teorias ainda pouco consideradas pelo maistream da estratégia também no nível de análise interorganizacional. Assim, não se rejeita a abordagem econômica, mas circunscrevem-se pressupostos mais abrangentes, a exemplo da perspectiva sociológica, como afirmam Kirschbaum e Guarido Filho (2011). Nessa lógica, a sociedade é a base de referência.…”

Relações interorganizacionais: perspectiva sociológica para análise dos microprocessos Resumo: Este ensaio teórico tem como objetivo refletir sobre as relações interorganizacionais, a partir da perspectiva sociológica, contribuindo com o debate sobre a necessidade de considerar racionalidades alternativas à instrumental nos estudos sobre relações inteorganizacionais, resgatando-se pressupostos teóricos críticos dos estudos organizacionais e da estratégia organizacional. Nessa lógica, parte-se da ideia de que as relações interorganizacionais se dão no cotidiano, por meio das interações entre os diferentes agentes, considerando como importante a análise dos microprocessos, como inerentes e complementares a análises em nível meso e macro. A justificativa é a de que a racionalidade instrumental inerente à Ciência Social dominante no Ocidente, necessita de alternativas e novas possibilidades ao mainstream. Portanto, salienta-se a necessidade de se considerar racionalidades alternativas à instrumental nas estratégias interorganizacionais, em favor de uma competitividade sustentável, a qual busca um olhar para além do utilitarismo econômico nas relações interorganizacionais.
