Since this is a publicly traded company, there is a significant volume of public and updated information available. </p> <p><strong>Relevance/Originality:</strong> The post-pandemic context, global wars, and other events have generated challenges that have a widespread impact on global consumption. In this scenario, retail companies, especially publicly traded ones, have been pressured to achieve efficiency in their results more quickly and assertively. This case study promotes discussions on the importance of data-driven companies making decisions based on business sustainability and meeting the interests of stakeholders, emphasizing the need for efficient and effective execution.</p> <p><strong>Main results: </strong>At the end of the discussion, students should understand that data-driven culture is essential to the success of organizations and that their effectiveness is directly linked to good governance practices and alignment with the ethical interests of stakeholders. In addition, they will realize that effective governance goes beyond formal documents, manifesting itself in genuine behavior and practices in daily business, capable of boosting significant results. </p> <p><strong>Theoretical/methodological contributions:</strong> Any course or discipline focused on organizational governance and a culture of results based on reliable data can use this case as discussion material in class. With the teaching notes and suggestions for organizing the content, teachers will be able to lead debates on the relevance of a data-driven culture. The proposal allows exploring the importance of combining good corporate governance practices with ethics and financial health, especially in a scenario of large volumes of data circulating inside and outside companies, ensuring benefits for both business and society.</p> 2025-06-20T00:00:00-03:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Patricia Prado, Daielly Mantovani https://rmr.emnuvens.com.br/rmr/article/view/66 Digital Maturity in Financial Services: An Application of the Berghaus and Back (2016) Model in Brazil. 2025-06-18T15:40:45-03:00 Yasmin Conolly Carolino yasminconolly@gmail.com Pedro Paulo Santos Cavalcante santoscavalcante@hotmail.com Thelma Valéria Rocha tvrocha@espm.br Marcelo Gabriel marcelo.gabriel@espm.br <p><strong><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Objetivo do estudo:</span></span></strong><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"> Mensurar a percepção de maturidade digital por gestores do segmento de intermediação financeira.</span></span></p> <p><strong><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Metodologia/abordagem:</span></span></strong><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"> Foi realizada uma pesquisa com 305 gerentes, diretores e executivos de nível C de empresas de serviços financeiros que operam no país.</span></span></p> <p><strong><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Principais resultados:</span></span></strong><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"> O artigo sugere que o segmento de intermediação financeira se percebe como digitalmente maduro, com os bancos, especialmente seus executivos, tendo uma visão mais otimista sobre sua digitalização.</span></span></p> <p><strong><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas:</span></span></strong><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"> O artigo avança a literatura sobre escalas ao validar a aplicação da escala de maturidade digital de Berghaus e Bach (2016), que havia sido testada no setor hoteleiro e de franquias e, com algumas considerações, a escala também funciona para empresas do setor financeiro.</span></span></p> <p><strong><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Relevância/originalidade:</span></span></strong><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"> O estudo demonstra a jornada que as empresas devem percorrer, seja para permanecer ou se tornar líderes na digitalização.</span></span></p> 2025-05-14T00:00:00-03:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Yasmin Conolly Carolino, Pedro Paulo Santos Cavalcante, Thelma Valéria Rocha, Marcelo Gabriel
