RAM. Revista de Administração Mackenzie Is a scientific journal published by the Post-Graduate Program in Business Administration sponsored by the Social and Applied Sciences Center (Centro de Ciências Sociais e Aplicadas - CCSA) at the Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie (UPM), São Paulo, SP, Brazil. It is classified as Qualis A2. Its goal is to promote scientific research in the form of high-quality theoretical and empirical papers that generate new knowledge in the field of Business Management. RAM was launched in 2000. Its papers are published in different issues identified by volume and number. The volume of each issue corresponds to the sequential calendar year numbered as from the year of its establishment. The issue number corresponds to the sequential number of the issue for each volume. Currently, RAM publishes six annual issues, each of them containing six articles. Of the six annual issues, there may be one or more special issues. This Journal used to produce hardcopy issues for the period encompassed by v. 1, n. 1, through to v. 6, n. 1. Since then, it has been published solely in electronic format. It is important to detach that all its issues from v. 1, n. 1, onwards are also available on the website of the Journal. The Journal periodicity in the years 2000 to 2004 was six-monthly. From 2005 to 2007 publication became quarterly. Then, in 2008, the Journal changed its periodicity to bimonthly, which is maintained since 2018 in the format of continuous publication. Dossiers may be presented once a year. The abbreviated title of the Journal is Rev. Adm. Mackenzie, which can be used in bibliographies, footnotes, bibliographical references, and strips. The title in English is Mackenzie Management Review. |

Editorial Policy The Revista de Administração Mackenzie (RAM - Mackenzie Management Review) is a scientific journal whose mission is to contribute to the excellence of academic activities in the field of business management, and to the development of administrative action in organizations through the disclosure of scientific research works in the form of unpublished high-quality theoretical and empirical articles that generate new knowledge in the field. Articles can be empirical, theoretical or measurement oriented. Conceptual articles should provide new theoretical insights capable of advancing our understanding of management and organizations. Empirical articles should have well-articulated and strong theoretical foundations. All kinds of empirical methods -quantitative, qualitative or combinations - are acceptable. RAM is structured into three sections. The first section, Human and Social Management in Organizations, publishes papers on organizational development focused on social and human issues, thus contributing to the creation of innovative management processes in organizations, based on relations of respect and reliance with stakeholders, values, organizational culture, diversity and organizational learning. The second section, Strategic Finance, includes works covering the issue of how companies and individuals make decisions on funding and allocating resources (whether or not financial), based on parameters of the notion of creating shareholder/owner value. The third section, called Knowledge, Strategy and Innovation (KSI), publishes works related to the development and performance of organizations of different sizes and segments of the economy, emphasizing modern technologies for managing their internal and external resources (tangible, intangible or technological). Research is focused on contemporary themes, such as knowledge management, intra and interorganizational dynamics, industry structure, sources of competitive advantages, evolutionary theories, dynamic capacity of organizations, strategic operations, logistics and supply chain management, business models and innovation strategies, aiming at understanding and proposing adjustments for the organization in its organizational capacities in order to satisfy the demands of the sectors in which they operate, focusing on the creation, capture and appropriation of value, and on strategic performance and competitive. There are five acceptance requirements for submissions:
This Journal’s target public consists of professionals and students in the academic universe specialized in administration, as well as managers of public, private and third sector organizations interested in the development of administration. Peer Review Process This Journal’s Editorial Process involves three eliminatory stages as described below: 1. During the first stage an article is received and examined by the Editor-in-Chief and subsequently by the Editor of the Section to which it was submitted for an admission review (desk review). Editors may occasionally request a double-blind opinion by a Scientific Editorial Body member (specialized in the article’s area) in order to support their decision. During this process the editors will ensure that the article complies with the basic requisites for approval by the editorial process:
Articles not in accordance with these basic requisites or with the criteria and technical features required by RAM (see editorial policy, policies by subject area sections e guidance to authors) will be rejected by the Editor-in-Chief or by the Section Editor. 2. The second stage consists of an anonymous review of papers submitted for publication and the double blind review system. These papers will be forwarded by the Section Editors to the ad hoc reviewers, selected on the basis of their fields of specialization and availability, whose affiliations are in States other than those of the States of the authors. The Section Editors coordinate this phase of the editorial process. Papers approved will be forwarded to the Editor-in-Chief with a suggestion for publication. The Section Editors may request a double blind expert opinion from a member of the Scientific Editorial Body (specializing in the field of the paper) in order to support their decisions. 3. During the third stage of the review process, the Editor-in-Chief takes the final decision on publication. The Editor-in-Chief may also request a member of the Scientific Editorial Committee to validate the previous stages, through a double blind review process. In this case, the paper approved during the previous phase and the respective expert opinions of the ad hoc reviewers (not identified) are forwarded to a member of the Scientific Editorial Committee (specializing in the field of the paper) for analysis and validation. Approved papers are presented and recommended for publication to the Editor-in-Chief by the Scientific Editorial Committee member. Approved articles are published with the name of the Editor in charge. Following approval for publication, the authors should sign the “Free Copyright Assignment” document, a draft of which will be remitted by email to the authors, with the reservation of rights, including for translation, to RAM. The authors should sign the letter singly or jointly and forward it by conventional mail to RAM within two weeks from receiving by email. The criteria employed for assessing articles are as follows:

DISCUSSION - FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
LIMITATIONS - FUTURE STUDIES

PUBLISHING
The opinions, ideas and concepts contained in the papers are the sole responsibility of their author(s). The Institution or any editorial entities related to this Journal accept no liability for them. The papers submitted must be unpublished in Brazil and elsewhere in the world. This Journal does not publish papers from guest authors or papers translated from foreign scientific periodicals. However, papers that have already been disclosed at congresses, seminars and similar events may be submitted, provided that there are no constraints imposed by the organizers of these events. All papers submitted, including those that have already been disclosed at congresses, seminars and similar events will undergo the review process described above. This Journal believes that the quality of the expert opinions underpinning publication decisions for each issue of this periodical must reflect a solid, transparent and meticulous review process whose purpose must be to further knowledge in the field while also fostering researchers’ development. Activities by reviewers are seen as part of an ongoing collective process for constructing knowledge that must underpin content enhancement and the manner in which research projects are conducted. In order for this intention to materialize in the publication of papers whose excellence is acknowledged at domestic and international levels, reviewers engaged by this Journal must follow the guidelines listed below, grounded on the document entitled Good Scientific Publication Practices issued by the National Association for Graduate Studies and Research in Administration (ANPAD):
Prospective candidates wishing to apply for positions as ad hoc reviewers must forward an email to this Journal necessarily stating: the section of this Journal for which they would like to work; five keywords outlining their field of specialization, certified by registration in the Lattes résumé of their degrees and scientific bibliographic output in Qualis periodicals and at events acknowledged as high quality in the field of Management knowledge; the number of papers they are capable of reviewing each year; the State and country in which they live; and the internet address (URL) of their résumé (for Brazilian candidates the Lattes résumé URL on the website of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development - CNPq). These applications from candidates will be assessed by the Editor-in-Chief and Section Editors. The members of the Scientific Editorial Committee are recruited through invitations issued by the Journal Editor. The activities of the members of this Committee are voluntary and not remunerated. The pre-requisites for participation are the same as those established for the ad hoc reviewers. Additionally, the members of this Committee must have held PhD degrees for at least five years, with significant scientific and technical biographical output, acknowledged as high quality by the editorial staff in their specialty fields. Conflicting Interests Policy For the Mackenzie Administration Journal, a conflict of interest is any interest of a financial, professional or personal type that actually or potentially interferes in the preparation, review or publication of a paper and the work giving rise to it. Authors and their employers (academic institutions or not), sponsors, reviewers and editors may have conflicting interests. Conflicting interests may be rated as hidden or explicit, real or perceived. In order to pursue its mission, this Journal feels that it is important to ensure that the research project presented in the papers are bias-free, the greatest possible extent. Thus, the Journal Editor may decide not to accept papers that he believes may be adversely affected in some way through a conflicting interest declared by their authors. Any conflicting interest by the author or co-authors related to the paper and the work giving rise to it and that are relevant and arise within five years as from the start of the work must be disclosed. During the submission process, the first author must state on his / her behalf and on behalf of other co-authors the existence of any financial, personal and professional interest that might actually or potentially influence the paper’s work and preparation. Examples of conflicting interests include but are not limited to: research grants received from any sources, travel grants or attendance at meetings, providing paid services, relations with this Journal’s editorial staff, relations with the organizations involved and participation in Government agencies. All sources of financing for the work must be described, including their role and involvement in the decision to submit the paper for publication. Grants received by institutions or organizations financing the paper from other institutions or organizations that are known to the authors must also be declared. The Editor will take the final decision on the relevance of any conflicts of interest declared by the authors and their possible influence on the work or paper. If necessary, this matter will be discussed with the ad hoc reviewers and the editorial staff. The decision will be based on the conflicting interests declared by the authors. The ad hoc reviewers of this Journal must also declare conflicts of interest before starting to review any paper. Should any reviewer feel unable to review a paper due to conflicting interests, the Editor must be advised. Copyright Declaration Once the papers have been approved, the authors assign their copyrights to this Journal. The Copyright Assignment Conditions include:
