Abstract: This article analyzes how the perception of risk moderates the relationships between social influence and the characteristics of personal innovativeness (PI), perceived utility (PU) and trust, leading to an increase in the adoption process for mobile banking. A quantitative study was developed, using partial least squares SEM. It was identified that social influence is antecedent of PI, PU and trust in the adoption of mobile banking and perceived risk moderates these relations described. Collapse

Abstract: Blockchain is a recent certification technology with high transformative power in many business models, having a social impact by offering solutions that involve governance and sustainability. However, most articles in this area address the use of blockchain in the private trading of cryptocurrencies. This paper is a case study on a pioneer blockchain application in the management of the Green Treasure Program, which operates through an online platform for negotiating Forest Credits, a title issued from environmental services. The context of this analysis is the management of the Green Treasure in the State of Amapá, the Amazon region of Brazil, which has a complex and interesting reality for research: on the one hand, this region faces difficulties in attracting resources due to its socioeconomic isolation; in contrast, more than 90% of its territory is totally preserved. The purpose of this study is to discover the different objectives that can come from the perception of value, among the public and the private sector, during environmental services negotiation on a blockchain based platform. For this, we conduct qualitative research on the case study using the theory of public value and an interpretative perspective, seeking the understanding of the different objectives among the actors involved. The main contribution is to present the use of blockchain in government projects that promote sustainability, the main research gap identified. The results suggest that blockchain can provide security, transparency, and traceability in operations, critical factors for the government, and especially for attracting investors with different profiles.

Abstract: There is a growing interest in many cities around the world in incentivizing startups because they often stimulate the city’s economic growth. In order to better support these startups, it is crucial to understand their needs and the local environment in which they are located. To understand these aspects, we have conducted a mapping study to understand the tech startup ecosystem of the city of Belém, located in the Amazon Region in Brazil. These startups were mainly related to software development with products like software platforms and mobile apps. This mapping study was conducted using a qualitative research approach through interviews with local startups and organizations that support and influence them. Collapse

Abstract: Based on Fligstein's (1990) work on ‘conceptions of control’ (broad managerial paradigms), this paper provides an analysis of the ways in which information technology (IT) artefacts shape and are shaped by institutional contexts. Specifically, we report on primary and secondary empirical data that spans a 44-year period pertaining to the uses made of the Amazon rainforest monitoring system (a set of satellite-based geographic information systems). This paper argues that: (1) the process of institutional change is conflictual, emergent and contested; (2) the design and use of IT artefacts tend to reflect the currently dominant conceptions of control; (3) that IT artefacts that emerge within a specific conception of control can be later reconfigured to serve the interests of other conceptions of control; (4) and finally, IT artefacts might unintentionally reinforce alternate conceptions of control and lead to institutional change.
