The VI Research Workshop on Institutions and Organizations is an effort by five research-oriented schools in Brazil (Fundação Getúlio Vargas, Insper Ibmec São Paulo, Federal University of Bahia, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and University of São Paulo) to discuss relevant academic and practical issues of institutions and organizations in an interdisciplinary way. Seminar participants will discuss recent developments in the analysis of institutions and organizations through the lenses of several disciplines (economics, management, sociology, and so forth). Instead of focusing on the contributions of specific disciplines dealing with institutions and organizations, workshop presenters and discussants will try to emphasize differences and commonalities among distinct approaches, leading to potential advances and refinements in the field. Although the Workshop will be jointly organized by four schools in Brazil, we encourage the participation of scholars from all over the country, as well as from abroad.

The VI Research Workshop on Institutions and Organizations will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on October 3rd-4th, 2011
