SUGGESTED FORMATTING FOR TEACHING CASES

TEACHING CASE TEXT

INTRODUCTION: Text aiming to elucidate who the case is for, for example, company or sector (commenting briefly on the same) and containing a contextualization of the chosen theme (the content that led to the construction of the case).

CASE DESCRIPTION: The information may be subdivided into topics, as the author deems convenient. Report the primary information about the case, such as the market in which it operates; products and services offered; brief history; location and organizational structure; mainly competitors; customers and suppliers, etc., according to the theme of the case.

TEACHING NOTES

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
The case may include more than one theme to be worked on in a class, depending on the information contained in it. In this sense, it is essential to comment on which themes will be worked on in a class in which the case will be used. What disciplines does the case fit into? Level of students for whom the case is intended (graduation? Master? Executive training?).

DATA SOURCES
Comment on the methodological procedures in terms of sources (primary and secondary), instruments, and forms of data collection.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
At least 02 questions should be proposed that encourage discussion in the classroom and that are based on the main theoretical content described in the educational objectives.

LITERATURE REVIEW and ANALYSIS
This item should include a review of the current literature on the theoretical foundations on the topic and sub-themes addressed in the case, as well as the analysis of the case (discussion). They can be separated into sub-items depending on the theoretical content to be explored.

REFERENCES
List the works used in the Case and the Teaching Notes using the current APA rules

RECOMMENDED BIBLIOGRAPHIES
Include references that are interesting for the student to be able to have enough information from the theoretical framework to solve the case.

APPENDICES AND ANNEXES

 

PHASES OF EDITORIAL PROCESS

The editorial process is composed of the following phases:

1- Editorial review (desk review): The editors of RASI evaluate the submitted content regarding the adequacy of the policies and strategies of the journal. Then an editor is assigned to follow the evaluation process.

2 - Revision 1 of version 1 (R1 -> V1): The responsible editor appoints evaluators until he obtains at least two complete evaluations. Then it can: 1) reject the article; 2) approve for publication; 3) request adjustments/changes/improvements in the article, within a defined period (usually 30 days), always subsidizing the authors with adequate and relevant information.

3 - Revision of version 2 (R2 -> V2): Upon receiving V2, the editor must evaluate the adjustments and can refer back to the evaluators of V1. Then you must approve or reject the work.

4- Publishing: A step made by the editors and the supporting team in which the manuscript undergoes final adjustments besides being verified in anti-plagiarism software (currently the magazine uses the Copy Spider and Plagius). This final version (VF) is sent to the authors for approvals and adjustments. Finally, this version is transformed into Acrobat Reader (pdf) and published in the online session first. During this process, the authors must pay R$ 300,00 (three hundred reais) as Article Processing Charge (APC). The Editor-in-Chief will send the information about the payment to the primary author in a specific email.

Obs.: Papers published in English will have the APC value covered by the journal. The manuscripts could be submitted in Portuguese and after approval be traslated to English to be published in two languages. The translation can be done by specialized companies, professional translators or the authors themselves. RASI will evaluate the final text and may refuse the English version.

5- Online first: Temporary file, without page numbering and DOI published on the RASI website.

6- Final publication: In the process of launching the magazine edition, the DOI and the page numbering are assigned according to the order of articles. Finally, all material is published.

Scientific papers

This category covers papers that report on any type of research undertaken by the author(s). The research may involve the construction or testing of a model or framework, action research, testing of data, market research or surveys, empirical, scientific, or clinical research.

Technical papers

Work focused on the use of theoretical models as a way to present and unveil knowledge, knowledge, and praxis about organizations. It is important that this paper presents one of the following points:

Focus on innovation: the authors' develops new solutions to new problems;
Focus on improvement: the authors' develops new solutions to known problems;
Focus on extrapolation: the authors' extends known solutions to new problems.

Literature review

Paper with the main objective of identifying, organizing, analyzing, and/or criticizing the literature on a specific topic. It should cover the main contributors to the development of a theme and explore its different views.
Papers with bibliometric analysis techniques are accepted as long as they bring some additional contributions to the studied field. Preferably the construction of an analytical framework, model, or method that can be explored by other authors.

Teaching Cases

Although there is no strict and unique structure for Teaching Cases, we recommend that the papers submitted in this section be structured under two broad axes (or parts): the case in question; and teaching notes (essential for their application in the teaching-learning environment).


The structure proposed for the Teaching Case:
- Introduction that exposes the problem situation to be debated;
- Presentation of the case (history itself), with the description and/or profile of the organization and conduction to the problem situation;
- References


Proposed Structure for Teaching Notes:
- Teaching Objective
- Sources and Methods of collection
- Relations with the objectives of a course or discipline
- Disciplines suggested for the use of the case
- Possible tasks and/or issues for implementation
- Possible organization of the class to use the case
- Suggestions for bibliography

Theoretical Essays

Paper focused on the discussion and development of theories. It should not be confused with "bibliographic review". The theoretical essay must, necessarily, advance in relation to the literature employed, bringing clear contributions to the field of knowledge.
