“…Future studies could explore how diverse suppliers perceive the benefits of SD programs and their impact on their trajectories. Finally, Cavalcanti (2021) highlighted the difficulties to map emerging practices when using a practice-based view. Thus, a longitudinal case study could add more robust knowledge on SD journey.…”

“…To accomplish this purpose, a multiple case study was conducted in Brazil, which is a good context in which to explore SD initiatives, as there are huge economic and social disparities between large LPOs and diverse suppliers (Miguel & Tonelli, 2023) and in terms of gender and classes (Cavalcanti, 2021). Besides, Brazil has no regulations for boosting SD that could result in less engagement from LPOs (Miguel & Tonelli, 2023).…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate how purchasing organizations implement supplier diversity (SD) initiatives over time. Design/methodology/approach A multiple case study approach was conducted. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with participants from purchasing organizations, intermediary organizations and diverse suppliers. Findings The research suggests that the SD journey encompasses three different, but interrelated stages before full implementation is achieved: structuring, operation and adaptation. The findings also provide evidence that SD implementation in Brazil is highly influenced by the lack of a consistent knowledge base and the lack of legitimized intermediary organizations. Research limitations/implications Using a temporal approach to understand how different practices suggested by the literature have been managed by practitioners over time, this study contributes to the understanding of the path to effective SD implementation and how intra- and interorganizational context influences this journey. Practical implications By identifying which practices should be adopted during different phases of SD implementation and proposing ways to overcome some of the inherent challenges, managers can better plan and allocate resources for the adoption of a successful SD initiative. Social implications This research demonstrates how organizations can promote diversity and reduce social and economic inequalities by buying from diverse suppliers. Originality/value Using a temporal approach, the research empirically investigates how different purchasing organizations have implemented and managed the known practices and dealt with the challenges faced when trying to adopt SD.

“…Social entrepreneurship can be applied to the public sector because the government must improve governance performance. Practicing social entrepreneurship contributes to social transformation (Cavalcanti, 2021 ). In Ukraine, for example, social entrepreneurship has been used by the state in developing its rural development strategy (Pechenuik, 2021 ).…”

“…In “Social entrepreneurship and social change: a practice-based study in non-governmental organisations,” Cavalcanti (2021) examines how practices of social entrepreneurship (SE) lead to social change. Drawing on practice theory, the author refines the understanding of SE by proposing an original definition that comprises political aspects of SE (that had not been embraced in previous definitions).…”

Writing the Discussion section of an academic article is a challenge for most scholars, especially beginners. Upon reaching this research stage, authors often run out of steam, facing the Discussion as an obligation rather than a chance of strengthening their contribution and relevance (Geletkanycz and Tepper, 2012). Consequently, it looks more like a summary of the results than a forum in which authors address the "so what?" question and explain in-depth the implications of their manuscripthow it advances knowledge and practice related to a theme.We call the authors' attention to the difference between the presentation of the resultsa section in which they describe what the data showand the discussion of the results and their implicationswhich encompasses a deep and reflective text that enlightens the effects/ utility of the research for theory and practice. In contrast to the Results section, Discussion "explains why the results are meaningful in relation to previous, related work and the research question that was explored [. . .] it deals with the claims that might be made, especially new knowledge claims" (Swales and Feak, 2012, pp. 309, 365).Every top-tier journal requires a discussion of the implications, which can be presented within several sections, such as the Discussion of the results, Discussion, Implications, Conclusion/Final remarks and so on. The term used is just a detail of journals' or authors' style. Most important is to be aware that any complete discussion is constituted of several elements (e.g. theoretical/practical implications, study limitations and future research) and that the discussion of the implications is indispensable (Geletkanycz and Tepper, 2012). In this sense, research implication is a necessary condition for a fruitful discussion. Building a discussion without thinking about how the results may generate implications for different domains can be counterproductive. However, in our experience as associate editors of the RAUSP Management Journal, we have noticed that authors have difficulty showing how the research implications articulate with the study's results and research domain.This editorial offers suggestions to help authors build a more critical and reflective discussion of implications. Our focus is on theoretical, practical and social implications, mandatory for manuscripts submitted to RAUSP Management Journal. First, we define these types of implications. Then, three articles published in RAUSP Management Journal are presented as examples of insightful discussions. We finish by offering bits of advice for building substantial discussions and delivering guiding questions that can help authors to gauge whether the crucial elements of the discussion have been covered.
