- Uma abordagem da gestão da qualidade para as PME : os quatorze pontos de DemingPublication . Jacquinet, MarcÉ importante contextualizar o trabalho de Deming, e nomeadamente os seus 14 princípios. A seguir o chamado “milagre japonês”, muito saliente nas publicações dos anos 1970 em adiante, aparecem um conjunto de obras sobre a crise ocidental e do seu modelo produtivo. O livro de Deming, Out of the Crisis de 1986 é a interpretar neste contexto de transformação do modelo produtivo estadunidense e centra-se na questão da qualidade como variável competitiva crucial. Para a qualidade e para a competitividade o autor propõe catorze princípios que vamos estudar a seguir.
- Act-now: fairness revisitedPublication . Iazdi, Oz Solon Chovghi; Pooe, Keletso; Jacquinet, MarcThe present global pandemic crisis has revealed the strengths and weaknesses of the institutional frameworks of contemporary societies. These institutional structures are solidly grounded upon the belief systems that have been dominant for the last five hundred years, both in the Northern and the Southern hemispheres. No matter the contradictions and contrasting characteristics, certain epistemic, methodological and paradigmatic traits can be identified across national cultures, political regimes, ideological doctrines, social traditions and historical processes. In other words, no matter the opposition and dissimilarity across subjective and objective human realities, nevertheless, it is possible to argue that the last few centuries have created a powerful overall zeitgeist, the spirit of time, that unites local and global, individual and collective, and internal and external realities across the globe. These under currents help to interpret present day paradoxes, ambiguities and contradictions, all of which are at the core of latent and explicit conflicts and antagonisms, blocking eventual possible solutions to emerge and develop.

- Agrarian migrant workers in times of Covid-19 pandemic: the cases of Spain and PortugalPublication . Jacquinet, Marc; Bussotti, LucaThe research addresses the impact of the pandemic on rural migrant workers in two Southern European countries that are at the center of a restructured supply chains of fresh vegetables: Portugal and Spain, where a new political economy of agriculture emerged in the last decades. These two well-known countries for wine produce also olive, olive oils, almonds, tomatoes, oranges, grapes, and other fruits and vegetables. Traditionally, the workers were still in the 1990s mostly coming from local places. Now, immigrants from Sub-Saharan and Northern Africa and from Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are a large part of the agrarian labor force. The vulnerability, discrimination, and difficulties of livelihood of these migrants workers are common currency and, despite contradictory economic incentives, the pandemic has made matters worst, especially for women and individuals not speaking the local languages. After describing the historical evolution and differences of the agrarian sectors of the two countries for fresh fruits and vegetables, we discuss the impact of the pandemic with a focus on gender. Whereas the situation before the pandemic was precarious and slowly improving on some counts, namely the increase of worker organization, the current process is one of recess. The paper identifies questions neglected by the literature on the pandemic in rural areas, in particular the vulnerability of immigrant workers to hunger, austerity, gender divide and discrimination, health risks, heavy constrained work, deportation, joblessness, and the lack of policies to ease social and economic ills beyond the focus on temporary normalization and repression.
- Análise custo benefício - ACBPublication . Jacquinet, MarcExistem duas abordagens tradicionais à avaliação dos custos e benefícios na ciência económica (economia política ou economics): a primeira é a abordagem neoclássica que foca o preço de mercado e os critérios de mercados concorrenciais ou quaisquer equivalente de estimativa de um benefício ou custo monetário. A segunda é o método do cálculo do rendimento social ou estimativa do custo/benefício ou valor social. Além destas duas categorias de abordagens, existem (novas e não tão novas) abordagens heterodoxas —constituindo uma terceira categoria — que consideram ou irem além do mercado ou do custo social ou ainda de ir além de ambos. A questão do impacto, do valor de serviço ambiental encontra-se em todas as três categorias de abordagens.
- Análise do incumprimento do diploma ministerial nº 93/2005 de 4 de Maio sobre as boas práticas da aplicação de fundos consignados ao Comité de Gestão de Recursos Naturais (CGRN) da Comunidade Nhaúnga do distrito de Macossa – Moçambique entre 2017 e 2021Publication . Jacquinet, Marc; Cardoso, Damião; Saize, Artur NdaluzaO presente artigo pretende, analisar a implementação do diploma ministerial nº 93/2005 de 4 de maio relativo aos fundos consignados ao Comité de Gestão de Recursos Naturais (CGRN) da comunidade Nhaúnga do distrito de Macossa – Moçambique entre 2017 e 2021, por se registar incumprimento de boas práticas de gestão apoiadas por esse diploma. O incumprimento em alusão, tem dado resultados que são óbvios, nomeadamente, não existência de uma contabilidade organizada na comunidade, falta de promoção da exploração sustentável dos recursos faunísticos e florestais presentes na comunidade bem como a não realização de iniciativas que garantem a proteção e conservação desses recursos, existência de lacunas na fiscalização da gestão dos fundos, desconhecimento dos dispositivos legais que regulam o funcionamento do CGRN pela comunidade, desconhecimento dos direitos no seio dos membros comunitários em relação aos recursos florestais e faunísticos disponíveis e uma gestão de fundos alocados que é questionável para o bem do CGRN e da comunidade Nhaúnga.
- Artificial intelligence, big data, platform capitalism and public policy: an evolutionary perspectivePublication . Jacquinet, MarcThe present paper aims to discuss the change in political economy when considering the new context and complexity of social, environmental and economic issues today, and more recently all the debates around artificial intelligence, big data and platform capitalism. First, it is important that the reflection be situated in the new and latest phase of transformation of the capitalist system, either globally or locally. Second, the convergence between artificial intelligence, big data, computer science and platforms is not fortuitous and there is more than buzzwords, but new real economic processes emerging. Third, the evolutionary perspective adopted here is based on complexity theory and the recent developments in the study of innovation, technological change and institutions, from a rather heterodox view mixed with economic history. Fourth, the historical dimension of change and the need to adopt a long view of historical processes, namely because of uncertainty, ignorance and constraints on economic agents. Finally, the problem of framing political issues and measures is tackled and is related to the level of complexity of what is at stake with the digital transformation of capitalist economies and different types of democratic societies.
- Beyond Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and shareholder theory: contesting the relevant context of sustainabilityPublication . Jacquinet, MarcCorporate social responsibility (CSR) has not just become mainstream practice for multinational corporations, it has also become the dominant discourse of responsibility and social obligation on the behalf of private firms, conflating the deeper questions of moral obligation into a management tool, both for communicating and compensating the impact of business as usual. Related to CSR and the literature on sustainable development, the notion of sustainability has two opposite conceptions, one weak, maintaining the practices and objectives of corporations unaltered, with a marginal technological fix, in a context of global warming and growing ecological footprint, and the other, called strong sustainability, that considers that technological progress is not enough. In the latter the very purpose of corporations, their responsibility and their actions have to be thoroughly reconsidered. This paper starts with a characterization and criticism of the concept of corporate social responsibility and business ethics.
