Abstract

EditorialDear BAR Contributors and Readers, As we publish the first issue of 2013, it is my pleasure to bring to your knowledge some facts that attest to BAR's dedication and continued progress in internationally disseminating sound research produced by Academics interested in the Brazilian context.The meritorious reclassification of some good journals to the A2 category (Qualis/CAPES) has increased the healthy competition for good papers. In this more stringent environment BAR is believed to still be one of the best outlets for studies about the Brazilian business setting.
