Evoking and provoking Bourdieu in educational research

This paper provides an introduction to this special issue of the Cambridge Journal of Education on ‘Evoking and provoking Bourdieu in educational research’. In the course of providing a critical synopsis of each paper, we consider how and why the authors work with and after Bourdieu, both evoking and provoking his thinking tools (particularly field, capital and habitus, but also doxa, misrecognition and illusio) and his methodological disposition that rejects ‘epistemological innocence’. We note that Bourdieu himself invited such provocation and that this is especially needed as the social continues to change, given the new spatialities of globalisation and growing social and economic inequalities. That is, we acknowledge that the empirical and the theoretical are always imbricated in each other, a theme pursued throughout the collection.

Book-to-market ratio, default risk and return implications: from a negative perspective

A paradox is created by the common practice in stock evaluation models of excluding stocks with a negative book equity (BE). If we interpret the book-to-market ratio as a proxy for distress risk, it makes no sense to exclude these negative BE stocks since they are, prima facie, most prone to distress risk. This paper reassesses the relationship between default risk, return and the book-to-market ratio by incorporating negative BE stocks into the study. We find that negative BE stocks carry higher default risks than their positive BE counterparts and that these risks are not totally offset by higher returns. This suggests that a default risk filter can be used in the investment universe selection process through which the portfolio return can be enhanced.

Mothers and sons: feminist maternal practice with boys

As práticas e o processo de diferenciação estratégica no surgimento de novas capacidades organizacionais: uma análise no lançamento de novos produtos

O processo de lançamento de novos produtos e serviços possui etapas significativas caracterizadas por atividades, rotinas e práticas que a define, e busca explorar a estratégia de diferenciação como processo-chave e determinante de sucesso (DEEDS; DECAROLIS; COOMS, 1999). Este estudo investiga como surgem novas capacidades organizacionais a partir do lançamento de novos serviços em busca de diferenciação no mercado. As práticas foram escolhidas como canal para entender de que forma as atividades e competências são direcionadas dentro da organização em atendimento a uma demanda emergente do mercado, fazendo com que a organização se diferencie das demais em um ambiente competitivo e demarcado por rápidas mudanças. O conceito de capacidades dinâmicas se encaixa à medida que o setor em que a organização pesquisada está inserida é carregado por informações que, por sua vez, está exposto a mudanças constantes, o que exige adaptação a todo o momento. A metodologia, qualitativa, foi realizada através da análise de trechos de documentos, vídeo e reportagens disponíveis no mercado a respeito do assunto, complementado por entrevistas em profundidade realizada com os responsáveis pela operação e lançamento deste novo serviço. Como resultado, foi encontrado que as práticas permitem a seleção das melhores atividades, rotinas e do que funciona ou não na organização. Permitem a criação de novas capacidades e a expressão das capacidades absorvitiva, adaptativa e inovativa, envolvidas na criação de um novo serviço para atender a demanda emergente do mercado.
