“…Such studies can be classified into four groups. The first group addresses hybrid organizations, focusing on the issue of governance (Bruton, Peng, Ahlstrom, Stan, & Kehan, ; Rocha de Moura & Fernandes, ; Schmitz, ). The second group focuses more specifically on the coexistence of antagonistic logics, such as a developmental logic versus a financial logic (Battilana & Dorado, ; Battilana, Singul, Pache, & Model, ) or a market‐oriented logic versus a human development‐oriented logic (Haigh, Walker, Back, & Kickul, ; Pache & Santos, ).…”

There is no shortage of theoretical or empirical research on mergers and acquisitions (M&A).Knowledge on the subject has grown substantially in recent decades. However, the integration of firms involved in M&A remains a challenging and often unsuccessful process. In addition, there is a scarcity of research on temporal dynamics within integration projects. This article reports on the postacquisition integration of a business school into a university using the concept of organizational hybridization as a theoretical lens. The aim was to identify the microdynamics that occurred during integration. We conducted an inductive case study, interviewing professionals involved in the integration process, analyzing a wide range of documents, and conducting participant observation over 6 years. Field research revealed that different organizational components underwent distinct hybridization processes that were characterized by different degrees of conflict. This study contributes to the understanding of the microdynamics that occur in postmerger or postacquisition integration processes, focusing on the complex adjustments inherent in these developments.

“…Busca descrever um novo tipo de organização que coloca no centro da razão de sua existência a geração de valor socioambiental ao lado da tradicional geração de lucro. São organizações que combinam, de maneira desafiadora e sem precedentes, diferentes lógicas institucionais (Battilana & Dorado, 2010;Battilana & Lee, 2014;Battilana et al, 2012;Dufays & Huybrechts, 2015;Lee & Battilana, 2013;Schmitz, 2015), misturando características do Estado, Mercado e da Sociedade Civil (Brandsen & Karré, 2011). As organizações híbridas são diferentes das práticas de responsabilidade social e de sustentabilidade, pois buscam incorporar a geração de valor socioambiental no mesmo patamar no lucro, ampliando a noção de gestão dos impactos gerados pela atividade organizacional.…”

“…O termo "organizações híbridas" vem ganhando cada vez mais espaço no cenário acadêmico para descrever um novo tipo de organização que também coloca no centro da razão de sua existência gerar valor socioambiental. São organizações que combinam, de maneira desafiadora e sem precedentes, diferentes lógicas institucionais (Battilana & Dorado, 2010;Battilana & Lee, 2014;Battilana et al, 2012;Dufays & Huybrechts, 2015;Lee & Battilana, 2013;Schmitz, 2015), misturando características do Estado, Mercado e da Sociedade Civil (Brandsen & Karré, 2011).…”

“…O movimento ainda está em seu início, mas com crescimento contínuo no total de empresas certificadas tanto no Brasil quanto no mundo, como mostra a Figura 1. Apesar de ser possível notar um crescente interesse na comunidade acadêmica e empresarial, o surgimento das organizações híbridas continua sendo um tópico pouco explorado (Battilana & Lee, 2014;Dufays & Huybrechts, 2015) e com uma ampla variação de entendimentos sobre o conceito (Schmitz, 2015). Ainda há espaço para estudar o cenário com diferentes exemplos de organizações híbridas e suas relações com os conceitos em construção (Schmitz, 2015).…”

O movimento B Corp: significados, potencialidades e desafios

Businesses and enterprises as key elements in the capitalist development model are actually being questioned about their actions in the resolution of society's problems and regarding their traditional focus on financial performance. New organizational models seek to produce articulations capable of creating a bond between profit and socio-environmental interest. Many authors cite the B Corp Movement as one of the main examples of the concept of hybrid organizations. It then becomes a rich object of study to understand the alternatives for reviewing organizational practices. One of its main mottos is "to redefine the success in business". The Movement operates in three main areas: certification, law and impact investment. This descriptive-exploratory and qualitative study, based on an interpretativeconstructivist paradigm, aims to better understand the identity of the B Corp Movement according to the emerging concept of hybrid organizations, following other trends and definitions that seek to treat the socioenvironmental role of business. To answer the research questions-If and how B Corps are a model of organizational hybridity-, this research involved a multi-method approach of information collection, codification and analysis in a combination of two investigation phases. The first phase-A Portrait of the B Corp Movementlooked to comprehend the meanings from their actors' perspective. The fieldwork consisted of 12 interviews with main stakeholders in Brazil and the United States, such as the movement representatives, leaders of certified B Corps and prospect enterprises. The second phase-A Portrait of Certified Companiesenabled to profile the Brazilian certified business through secondary data analysis. The sources for the analyzed material were the websites, made available on the internet by them, and their profiles on the global and regional website of the B Corp Community. From the results of this research, the certification can be perceived as an evolution of social and environmental accountability mechanisms, by including steps of information evidences, auditing, legal commitment and seal/certification identification. The inclusion of the interests of stakeholders in legal documents is one of the key differentiators and symbolic aspect of the movement. However, it is still not possible to say that they represent a new organizational model or an ideal type of hybrid organization, but rather a path on this intention. The studied group of enterprises comprises a larger scope on organizational hybridity levels, placing more emphasis the way businesses are conducted, but not necessarily their core business, main-activities or social mission as a guide for business model. It can be noticed the heterogeneity of certified companies as one of the main characteristics of the movement and, at the same time, one of their biggest challenges to be distinguished. The ideological positioning and impact investment attraction are the main motivating factors for a company to certify. Earning the seal is perceived as a way to ...
