O paradoxo dos grandes eventos: analisando o comportamento da indústria hoteleira na cidade do Rio de Janeiro durante e após as Olimpíadas
Considering the urban transformations and the development of the hotel sector in the City of Rio de Janeiro driven by the 2016 Olympic Games, this study aims to understand how the hotel industry behaves in terms of organic growth and investments during periods of mega international events. To this end, a qualitative case study research was carried out that included 7 different hotel brands whose results were coded and categorized resulting in a theoretical-conceptual framework responsible for identifying some competitive pressures on traditional hospitality, including 6 different challenges: (1) political institutional insecurity, (2) perceptions of the media, (3) public security, (4) other national and foreign locations, (5) new videoconference technologies, and (6) Online Travel Agencies. It was found that the exponential growth in the number of beds in the city in the years leading up to the 2016 Olympics generated several complications for the industry at that time. The logic of this expansion is discussed throughout the paper during different phases and the aim is to help fill a gap left by empirical research in the area, which has little explored the logic behind the option of investing during Olympic Cycles.Considerando las transformaciones urbanas y el desarrollo del sector hotelero en la Ciudad de Río de Janeiro impulsado por los Juegos Olímpicos de 2016, este estudio tiene como objetivo comprender cómo se comporta la industria hotelera en términos de crecimiento orgánico e inversiones durante períodos de mega eventos internacionales. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una investigación de caso de estudio cualitativo que incluyó 7 marcas hoteleras diferentes, cuyos resultados fueron codificados y categorizados dando como resultado un marco teórico-conceptual responsable de identificar algunas presiones competitivas sobre la hostelería tradicional incluyendo 6 desafíos diferentes: (1) inseguridad político institucional, (2) percepciones de los medios, (3) seguridad pública, (4) otras localidades nacionales y extranjeras, (5) nuevas tecnologías de videoconferencia, y (6) agencias de viajes online. Se encontró que el crecimiento exponencial en el número de camas en la ciudad en los años previos a los Juegos Olímpicos de 2016 generó varias complicaciones para la industria en ese momento. La lógica de esta expansión se discute a lo largo del trabajo durante diferentes fases, y el objetivo es ayudar a llenar un vacío dejado por la investigación empírica en el área, que ha explorado poco la lógica detrás de la opción de invertir durante los Ciclos Olímpicos.Considerando as transformações urbanas e o desenvolvimento do setor hoteleiro na Cidade do Rio de Janeiro impulsionado pelos Jogos Olímpicos de 2016, este estudo visa compreender como a indústria hoteleira se comporta em termos de crescimento orgânico e investimentos em períodos de megaeventos internacionais.

Um debate acerca do padrão decisório em política externa no Brasil
O propósito desse artigo é compreender como se estrutura o processo de tomada de decisões em política externa no Brasil, não a partir da análise de seus microfundamentos, ou seja, como cada temática em particular é decidida no campo da política externa, mas sim conduzir a avaliação para uma abordagem mais macro, estrutural, que possibilite avaliar o comportamento dos atores com capacidade decisória. Após o levantamento de dados qualitativos e quatitativos para o período compreendido entre 1988-2007, as conclusões alcançadas indicaram um crescente aumento da participação de outros atores (Presidência da República, demais Ministérios e Congresso Nacional) em questões de política externa. A participação de um maior número de atores vem levando a uma mudança no padrão decisório dessa área no Brasil, anteriormente caracterizado como insulado e altamente concentrado no Itamaraty
Participação científica da mulher em ciência política e relações internacionais no Brasil
Este artigo mapeia a participação das mulheres na produção científica brasileira nas áreas de Ciência Política e Relações Internacionais, no período de 2006 a 2016. Para isso, foram criados seis indicadores, a fim de medir a participação das mulheres na produção de dissertações de mestrado, teses de doutorado e artigos científicos, bem como sua participação como docentes de programas de pós-graduação e sua presença em conselhos editoriais de importantes revistas científicas brasileiras nesses campos. Os resultados revelaram que, apesar de haver uma crescente participação das mulheres nos últimos anos, o espaço que ocupam ainda está sub-representado, especialmente quando se considera posições estratégicas relacionadas ao ensino e pesquisa.This article maps the participation of women in Brazilian scientific production in the areas of Political Science and International Relations, from 2006 to 2016. To do so, six indicators were created, to measure women’s participation in the production of master’s dissertations, doctoral theses and scientific papers, as well as their participation as faculty members of graduate programs and their presence on editorial boards of important Brazilian Journals in these fields. The results revealed that, despite an increasing participation of women in recent years, the space they occupy is still underrepresented, especially when considering strategic positions related to education and research
CHALLENGES AND UNCERTAINTIES IN RIO’S HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY: THE CASE OF ASTOR HOTELS
for promoting transformations over the years in the cities they pass through whether
through developing economic sectors such as tourism, hospitality, and services or through
transforming their urban spaces. The case of Rio de Janeiro in 2016 was emblematic
above all for the city’s hotel sector, which during the years preparing for the Games
saw its offer in the number of beds increase by 76% in a period of just 5 years, which
generated a new competitiveness dynamic for the region. The case puts the reader in the
role of Federico Gonzales, manager of Astor Mediterranean Rio, a new hotel that opened
near the Olympic Park at the end of 2015 and is currently experiencing serious financial
difficulties given the drop in demand aggravated by the economic crisis and by the effects
of the pandemic. The case is indicated for undergraduate and graduate students from the
hospitality, tourism, and strategy courses interested in discussing themes and concepts
related to the area of strategic transformation of hotel industry, management strategic
decision making, and mega events

DIAMOND OF THE DESERT: THE CASE OF QATAR’S 2022 FIFA WORLD CUP
For the first time in the Arab world, the FIFA World Cup in Qatar 2022 was one of the
main drivers for promoting important infrastructural changes in the country, as well as
for transforming the image of Qatar in order to make the destination more attractive to
foreign tourists. However, despite the great wealth from its Oil & Gas reserves, several
social challenges that historically affect the country began to emerge due to greater
coverage of the international media, threatening the expectations of positive legacies left
on the country\u27s image from the event. Given this context, the case puts the reader in the
role of Ahmed Al-Nasr, then Chairman of the Qatar Supreme Committee for Delivery
and Legacy, as he faces different pressures made by major international brands
sponsoring the event who now see their image threatened by successive controversies
that the country has been involved in and they are threatening to withdraw their support
and investments. The case is indicated for undergraduate and graduate students of
courses in the area of Tourism, Sport Management, and Business interested in discussing
topics and concepts related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG)
responsibility, management of mega events, international marketing, and country
destination image
Elementos que Impactam a Construção de um Modelo de Governança Pública no Brasil: O Caso da Marinha do Brasil
This paper investigated the essential elements for building a public governance model in Brazil, with the objective of proposing an analytical framework with contributions from different theoretical lenses. The concepts and debates emerging from the literature were analyzed along with the normative instruments that guide the principles of public governance in Brazil, and, finally, empirical research was carried out in a Brazilian public organization (Brazilian Navy). The study found that, in the Brazilian context, external control bodies have been playing the role of giving rise to an increase in governance levels within the scope of public administration, restricting at first its application to the perspective of control, and involving, to a lesser extent, the concepts of governance as instruments for achieving political administrative effectiveness. This result corroborates the need to develop more comprehensive proposals related to public value creation involving the structuring of both political and administrative bodies in Brazil.Este artigo buscou investigar os elementos que impactam a construção de um modelo de governança pública no Brasil, com o objetivo de propor uma estrutura analítica (framework) com contribuições de diferentes lentes teóricas. Para isso, foram analisados os conceitos e debates emergentes da literatura, os instrumentos normativos que norteiam os princípios da governança pública no Brasil, e, por fim, foi realizada uma pesquisa empírica em uma organização pública brasileira (Marinha do Brasil). Como resultado, observou-se que, no contexto brasileiro, os órgãos de controle externo vêm exercendo o papel de ensejar um aumento dos níveis de governança no âmbito da administração pública, restringindo, em um primeiro momento, sua aplicação à perspectiva do controle, evoluindo em menor grau os conceitos da governança como instrumento para realização da efetividade político-administrativa. Esse resultado corrobora a necessidade de se pensar em propostas mais abrangentes relativas à criação de valor público, envolvendo tanto a estruturação política quanto administrativa brasileira
SOCIAL NETWORK STRUCTURE AND FIRMS’ INTERNATIONALIZATION: NEW INSIGHTS FROM A WHOLE-NETWORK PERSPECTIVE
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the social network structure of the oil and gas (O&G) cluster in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We explore whether internationalized firms concentrate in specific sections of the social network, and scrutinize whether internationalization is associated with a firm’s attributes and its direct and indirect network ties. Method: This research applies social network analysis, which allows us to identify dense sections, popular nodes, and strategic position. We apply partitioning techniques to determine the extent to which a firm’s internationalization is affected by those to whom it is connected. Main results: Our findings show that internationalized firms concentrate in dense sections of the network, which are characterized by high interconnectedness. Furthermore, there is indicative evidence that interaction among firms and their attributes embedded in the social network structure is associated, at least in part, with the diffusion of internationalization. Relevance / Originality: Most studies targeting the network focus on the so-called ego network. This study applies a whole-network perspective to consider popular communities and central nodes and, ultimately, show how social behavior is diffused within the social network structure. Theoretical / Methodological Contributions: Drawing upon the network theory, we emphasize interdisciplinarity to advance international business (IB) scholarship. In particular, we qualify the Uppsala model’s assumption of network/relational capability, that is, the ability to build, sustain, and coordinate relationships by demonstrating the relevance of the social network structure to the internationalization process
