- Morality and modeling of intention to use Chatgpt technologypor André Torres Urdan el abril 24, 2024 a las 3:00 am
Research Objective: the main objective in this article is to identify new variables that can improve a Proposed Integrative Model (PIM) for ChatGPT adoption. PIM, in turn, is based on three consolidated theories: TAM (Technology Acceptance Model), DIT (Diffusion of Innovation Theory) and TCMD (Theory of Cognitive Moral Development). Methodology/Approach: the approach in this study is qualitative, with interviews from experts who use ChatGPT in their areas, including three journalists, two technology professionals and three teachers. The interview guide involved the three theories. Textual data is analyzed with AtlasTi. software. Originality/Relevance: the research address doubts and fears about ChatGPT, an emerging technology highlighted in several fields, including Education. The results describe and interpret several influences (for example: psychological, social and technological) on the use of ChatGPT, in a nation (Brazil) with one of the largest populations in the world. Main Results: we identified 16 new variables potentially influential in the use of ChatGPT: accessibility, access to connectivity, trust in technology, creativity, entertainment, expectations, previous experience, feedback and continuous improvement, perceived innovation, integration with existing systems, time saving, customization, reduction workload, perceived risk, satisfaction and safety. Three aspects emerged around morality: intrinsic relationship between morality and ChatGPT: (i) attributing responsibility to the company OpenAI; (ii) intimate nature, intrinsic and individual characteristic of morality as an independent element of any technology; (iii) practice of reproducing content, historically considered illegal, which does not represent anything new from a legal point of view, regardless the technological era. Theoretical/Methodological Contributions: the identified variables not only broaden but also improve the general understanding of ChatGPT adoption.
- Elements and practices of managing digital transformation projects to support Business Agilitypor Geovane Soares Galvão Junior el abril 23, 2024 a las 3:00 am
Objective of the study: to present the elements and practices of Digital Transformation project management capable of supporting the Business Agility process in organizations. Methodology: Systematic Literature Review of 112 articles in the academic databases Scopus and Web of Science. Originality/relevance: transitioning from traditional to digital means can take organizations to a new level of efficiency, with the incorporation of Business Agility, supported by the management of Digital Transformation projects. Main results: the results identified five categories that contribute to the relationship between Digital Transformation projects and Business Agility: Operational Impact, Digital Technologies, Organizational Agility, Project Management, and Business Processes. Theoretical/methodological contributions: the results obtained from the systematic literature review confronted with empirical research will allow to advance the discussions on Digital Transformation and Business Agility. Contributions to society: organizations mainly seek to position employees as protagonists of the change arising from Digital Transformation and Business Agility. Another practical contribution is the relevance of leadership in managing Digital Transformation projects, which must be close and participative with the project teams.

- Critical success factors in digital transformation projects in the brazilian automotive industrypor Egon Ferreira Daxbacher el abril 2, 2024 a las 3:00 am
Objective of the study: To clarify the critical success factors in the management of digital transformation projects in the Brazilian automotive sector, given the challenges and changes imposed by the digital economy and national economic crises. Methodology: A qualitative study with analysis of semi-structured interviews of 12 executives from four major vehicle manufacturers in Brazil by using MAXQDA software for qualitative data analysis. Originality/relevance: This study addresses a gap in academic research focused on critical success factors for digital transformation projects, particularly in the context of the Brazilian automotive industry (BAI), in order to provide significant insights for future research and contribute to the scientific knowledge base on digital transformation. Main results: Identification of common critical success factors in the management of digital transformation projects in the BAI and proposal of a model enabling its implementation in future projects for increasing their chances of success in the current competitive market. Theoretical/methodological contributions: This study contributes to the specialized literature by integrating theory and practice on digital transformation, highlighting the importance of factors such as leadership, strategy, and organizational innovation, and providing a practical model based on the results obtained for application to future initiatives. Contributions to society: This study suggests a model for digital transformation in the BAI which can enhance the company’s competitiveness and efficiency, while contributing to the economy’s and society's sustainability by fostering innovation and creating specialized jobs.
- Can innovation predict regional resilience? An econometric exploration of Brazilian municipalities during the Covid-19 pandemicpor Luiz Fernando Câmara Viana el abril 2, 2024 a las 3:00 am
Objective: This article examines the relationship between innovation and regional economic resilience in an emerging economy. Method: This is a quantitative and descriptive research that uses a logistic regression based on socio-economic indicators of the 101 most populous Brazilian municipalities and considers regional resilience through employment data. Originality/relevance: Although innovation has been identified as a source of regional economic resilience, the context of emerging economies has often been overlooked, resulting in a narrow view of this relationship. Results: The findings show that innovation did not act as a classification variable for (non‑)resilient regions. Municipalities characterized by greater proximity to ports, greater per capita Internet access, and the presence of technology parks showed less resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic compared to the national average performance, which is counterintuitive. In addition, a positive relationship was found between lower tax burden and regional resilience. Theoretical contribution: The empirical research conducted helps to understand the specific impact of a crisis such as the pandemic in an emerging economy. The results also suggest that innovation is not a sufficient condition for regional resilience in the short run. Practical contributions: The article points to the need to strengthen innovation capacities in regions of an emerging economy, which, if underdeveloped, are unable to act as an immune system in the face of a pandemic shock.
