This study aims to address the question of why the efforts of family Small and Medium Enterprises (family SMEs) to develop international partnerships fail. In particular, it draws on the network theory of internationalisation and SEW perspective and explores how family managers’ interpretation of the behaviour of potential international partners can lead to the failure of the attempt to develop an international partnership in the context of family SMEs internationalisation. To do so, it conducts a multiple case study of four internationalised Greek family SMEs in the food and beverages sector. The findings suggest that family managers set strict criteria, regarding their expectations about international partners’ behaviour when evaluating the potential international partners, which emerge from family managers’ effort to fulfil family goals (e.g., the preservation of family harmony and family reputation), and reveal that the family managers’ priority on the fulfilment of family goals can hinder the international partnership development process. These findings build upon the limited, yet important, family SMEs literature on international partnership failures and enrich previous networking theories about family SMEs’ internationalisation.

Based on the author's own experience as an external and independent director of several boards of directors of family-owned companies, the objective of this paper is to show the responsibilities that these directors must assume and how they should preserve their qualities as "external" and "independent" directors. In this way, it is expected that this commentary can help to shape the procedure of incorporation and evaluation of external and independent directors.

This article offers a conceptual discussion about the relationship between wealth and wellbeing of the business family. It provides a psychological perspective on ownership that explains the effect of wealth on individual and collective dimensions relevant to business families, namely psychological ownership, socioemotional wealth, and ownership competences. The study provides an integrative framework and offers propositions that illustrate the theoretical and practical implications of the model as regards the relationship between wealth and wellbeing of the business family.

Os periódicos científicos cumprem inúmeras funções de divulgação na sociedade, principalmente, entre a comunidade científica. A divulgação baseia-se não somente em artigos enviados por seus autores, mas em também apresentar as inovações reunidas em renomados eventos. A ReBraM tem recebido artigos que não seguem rigorosamente o padrão da escrita científica, como consequência do impacto sofrido pelas instituições científicas no momento pós-pandemia, despertando na Comissão Editorial a percepção da necessidade de interação mais próxima com tais eventos, permitindo aos nossos leitores a atualização por meio das novas edições da Revista. Na atual edição dois eventos foram contemplados na composição deste periódico, sendo eles o 7º Meeting da ABOD (Associação Brasileira de Odontologia Digital) e o Congresso de Ciências Aplicadas à Farmácia – CONCAF que selecionaram, respectivamente, os melhores resumos apresentados, bem como os mais relevantes trabalhos completos divulgados no evento...  

 The text “The Declaration of Barbados I” (1977) marked a significant impact in the history of the relationship between committed anthropology and Latin American indigenous peoples, generating the emergence of a political, ethical and moral code on how anthropology had to fight alongside ethnic minorities. However, there have been few indications of how the anthropological’s theoretical tools were to act from within the indigenous movement. Can ethnographic writings describe ethically ambiguous political dynamics within indigenous social movements to which they are witnesses or allies? Is there a space for analysis and self-critique of the multiple linkages present in the relations between activism and indigenous leaders, as anthropology often suggests it should do? A case study of a lawsuit developed in Peru in 2012 will provide an opportunity to reflect on the relationship between anthropology, activism and writing and its ethical problems over time.

The work aims to analyze some of the performative works included in the bodista proposal of the Guatemalan artist Regina José Galindo. Starting from the expression "violencias desbordadas", used by Casaús Arzú, an attempt will be made to embed performative actions in the detailed forms of respectively gender, symbolic and systemic violence, to understand how the logic of violence permeates the Guatemalan context and produces subordinate subjectivity.
