Entitlement in the polity: Moral self-licensing and CEO activism
This essay explores the phenomenon of CEO activism through the lens of moral self-licensing, offering a novel theoretical perspective on why CEOs engage in public and political discourse on complex issues outside their expertise. Prompted by observations of CEOs advocating controversial economic and political priorities, the study delves into the psychological rationale underlying such public assertions. It introduces the concept of moral self-li…
Corporate anti-populism: Insights from Instituto Millenium
Recent scholarship has shifted from analysing populist discourses to examining discourses about populism, what we term populism discourse studies, highlighting how the signifier “populism” is mobilised in struggles over political power. Focusing on Instituto Millenium, a business aligned think tank in Brazil, this article examines corporate anti-populism as a dimension of corporate political activity. It shows how corporate actors contributed to …

Public inquiries and (historical) organizational research: Contributions and methodological challenges
Public inquiries offer a valuable data source for management research, particularly in understanding the challenges faced during significant events such as disasters or scandals. This study proposes a framework that positions public inquiries as both data sources and research roadmaps, addressing their results, discursive practices, and power dynamics. It also emphasizes the relevance of studying public inquiries and their reports for scholars co…
Inquéritos públicos e pesquisa organizacional (histórica): Contribuições e desafios metodológicos
Os inquéritos públicos oferecem uma fonte de dados valiosa para a pesquisa em administração, especialmente para compreender os desafios enfrentados durante eventos significativos, como desastres ou escândalos. Este estudo propõe um framework que posiciona os inquéritos públicos não apenas como fontes de dados, mas também como roadmaps, abordando seus resultados, práticas discursivas e dinâmicas de poder. O trabalho também enfatiza a relevância de…
Brazil must be a country for entrepreneurs and workers, not scoundrels’: Personal branding mechanisms underpinning CEO activism
Chief executive officer (CEO) activism literature primarily explores issues in which CEOs engage, and its consequences for consumers and employees. However, a glaring gap lies in how CEOs engage in activism, particularly, through social media. Our study aims to bridge this gap by analyzing the online identity of Luciano Hang, a Brazilian CEO, activist, and billionaire, focusing on the crafting of Hang’s online identity, particularly on Instagram,…
Victory through conquest in 1960’s Brazil: Business interest associations, moral panic, and policymaking
We analyse the impact of business interest associations (BIAs) on policymaking through coordinated efforts. We focus on short films produced in the early 1960s by the influential Brazilian think tank, Institute for Research and Social Studies (IPES; 1961–1972). Founded, funded, and managed by the business elite, IPES aimed to counter the alleged ‘advance of Soviet communism’ by shaping public opinion and destabilising the political landscape, ult…
Los N’gen Y El Inca, Genii Locorum Del Apu Manquehue
Generalmente invisibles, los N’gen son los genii locorum de los elementos naturales, y asemejan al “Chaneque” Náhuatl, el “dueño de casa”, “guardián” o “encanto” de lo silvestre y del hogar, del agua y la piedra. A los N’gen también le dicen “Duende” -que es contracción Hispano-Lusa de la misma noción de “dueño de”, especialmente aplicada a la naturaleza. Tanto Guamán Poma de Ayala como González Holguín acuden al vocablo “Duende” a principios del…

El Collasuyo Truncado: Ensayo Sobre La Evolución Geopolítica Y Proyecciones Cartográficas Del Poblamiento Histórico De Atacama, Guatacondo, Lípez Y Tarapacá
Este ensayo explora cómo a lo largo del período colonial, el Virreinato del Perú fue cercenando la costa de Arequipa y Atacama (Urcosuyo meridional), quitándole paulatinamente a la Audiencia de Charcas el gobierno de la misma. El avance colonial de Lima hacia el sur por la costa, influyó en las adscripciones étnicas regionales poniendo en entredicho la existencia de una identidad o complejo cultural “tarapaqueño” o “pica-tarapaqueño” para el Perí…
Brazilian businessmen movements: Right-wing populism and the (dis)connection between policy and politics
We advocate for the relevance of taking Brazilian past experience and theorization of populism into account to understand present-day challenges. We depart from Weffort’s conceptualization of populism to discuss the role of businesspeople movements in supporting and taking control of the political agenda through think tanks. According to Weffort, populism is built over precarious alliances that tend to favor policy or politics in different moment…
La memoria de los senderos andinos. Entre huacas, diablos, ángeles y demonios
Los geoglifos y petrogligos en el sendero entre Tamentica y Quebrada de Los Pintados (Guatacondo, Tarapac), nos invitan a formular algunas hiptesis etnohistricas y arqueolgicas sobre cmo los pueblos prehispnicos andinos inscriban su poltica de la memoria en los senderos. Aunque con influjos europeos, las tcnicas nemnicas y representativas andinas empleadas en su composicin sirvieron para activar las geografas de la memoria y las huacas, en trmino…
Organizational archives and historical narratives: Practicing reflexivity in (re)constructing the past from memories and silences
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the role of reflexivity in relation to archives and narratives. Design/methodology/approach The authors problematize the concept of “archive,” by engaging with debates in philosophy and the archival theory. The authors also revisit historical theories and debates on the role of the narrative within historiography. Finally, the authors consider reflexivity as a methodological attitude taken by the re…
Decoloniality, geopolitics of knowledge and historic turn: Towards a Latin American agenda
In this paper, we explore how a decolonial framework can inform management and organizational knowledge (MOK) with the objective of fostering a decolonized historic turn (HT) agenda from Latin America. MOK and the HT are demarcated by the predominance of Anglo-Saxon knowledge in which time fosters a colonizing effect. The HT has not promoted the inclusion of authors, theories, concepts, objects, and themes from other geographies. Hence, we have t…

Pondera-se sobre a responsabilização das empresas no que concerne ao respeito e à proteção de direitos humanos, discutindo as complexidades do tema. Nesse sentido, é apontada a necessidade de se ter cautela em relação à aceitação das corporações co…
Assédio moral e a violência inata: Contribuições freudianas aos estudos das organizações
O presente ensaio teórico pretende contribuir com a reflexão sobre o assédio moral nas organizações produtivas, compreendendo-o como uma questão estrutural das relações de trabalho. Defende-se aqui que a violência no trabalho é fruto de afinidades eletivas entre a conjuntura específica da sociedade contemporânea e as demandas pulsionais dos sujeitos, vinculadas à pulsão de morte, que encontram vazão em demandas da vida hodierna, principalmente, n…
Revolución chilena, litoral boliviano: La Patria, la Compañía de Salitres y los prolegómenos de la Guerra del Pacífico en el Desierto de Atacama (1870-1879)
En octubre de 1876 se constituye en Antofagasta la Sociedad de Socorros Mutuos 'La Patria' como reacción a la situación social y económica imperante en Bolivia bajo la dictadura de Hilarión Daza, especialmente difícil para los colonos asentados en la costa árida del Departamento litoral de Atacama y en el pujante mineral de plata de Caracoles, en su mayoría chilenos. La Patria reunió a la casi totalidad de los patrones y obreros residentes extran…
Monopolios sobre la infraestructura del transporte en la región del salitre y de la sal: El Caso De Patillas
La actual disputa judicial por el control de los puertos de Patache y Patillas sirve de pretexto para analizar esfuerzos pasados por construir y explotar una línea de ferrocarril que uniera la Caleta de Patillas a los distritos salitreros del sur tarapaqueño (1871 y 1903). A finales de la década de 1880, Montero Hermanos aporta sus privilegios ferrocarrileros a dos compañías constituidas en Inglaterra, la Nitrate Railways Company y la Patillas Ra…

Esas disputas, principalmente expresadas en términosde posiciones contrapuestas respecto de quién debiera tener control sobrelos recursos locales: agua, tierra, subsuelo, paisajes, revelan las divergencias conceptuales y epistemológicas que subyacen a dichos conflictos.
