Creativity, Brazilian “jeitinho,” and cultural practices: A behavioral analysis.

Abstract: This theoretical interpretive essay aims to provide a radical behaviorist analysis of operational and ethical aspects of the Brazilian "jeitinho." It can be defined as a behavioral variability shown and maintained by the Brazilians in a context of historical material deprivation as well as governmental and social control. The same behavioral pattern was observed during the first efforts of starting behavior analysis in Brazil. In the 1960s, Professor Keller and his Brazilian colleagues from the University of S… Show more

“…In India this is called "Jugaad" or cleverness with which Indian managers try to circumvent obstacles and are supposedly more agile in seizing opportunities (Prabhu & Jain, 2015).
