Various literatures state that the influence of company performance to strategy does not stand alone, but is
affected by a variety of external and internal contingency factors. The discussion in this paper begins with a
description of the two major strategic management theories in the theory of MBV and RBV. So both theory of
RBV and MBV theory indeed complement each other and have an important role in explaining the influence of
strategy to the company performance. This research aims to prove which theory is much more instrumental in
explaining the influence of strategy on performance is not important to do, because this is futile effort

In the context of Batak culture, the term Boto Lungun is known in Indonesian, standing from the word Boto, which is "Know", and Lungun "Long" or "Sad." The meaning to be conveyed in Boto Lungun does not refer to knowing longing or knowing sadness, but the understanding of the Batak people regarding Boto Lungun is a message for children to understand the expectations of their parents. Therefore, Boto Lungun is a message from parents to their children to be aware of their existence as a child so that they do not forget their background.

Not only that, the spirituality of Boto Lungun from Batak children who live away from home in Kemiri Salatiga grows and develops due to experience, tradition and ratio.

"De volta ao Picaresco": Literatura e política em a Resistível ascensão do boto tucuxi de Márcio Souza
No full textThis study aims to analyze the book The Resistible Rise of Boto Tucuxi by Márcio Souza
seeking to understand the position taken by the author against the context of the book's
production and how the same context is projected in the novel, becoming a decisive element
of the composition. The theoretical basis was mainly based on Bourdieu (1996) and Candido
(2000), and the methodology was based on the readings of novels and essays by Márcio
Souza, as well as the interviews, critical reviews and studies about his work. What
conclusively closes this analysis is to recognize that the continuation of the creative project
of Márcio Souza in Boto Tucuxi is devoted to establishing the signs representative of a
modernist posture of Amazonian literature in counterpoint to the passadist’s, while using
themes related to Amazônia and the ways of "reading" these themes as the chance to launch
into the group of Amazon classifiers and be recognized by them.Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o livro A resistível ascensão do Boto Tucuxi, de
Márcio Souza, buscando compreender as tomadas de posição do autor frente ao contexto de
produção do livro e de que modo esse mesmo contexto é projetado no romance,
transformando-se em elemento decisivo da sua composição. A fundamentação teórica
ancorou-se, sobretudo, em Bourdieu (1996) e Candido (2000), e a metodologia foi pautada
nas leituras dos romances e ensaios de Márcio Souza, bem como nas entrevistas, resenhas
críticas e estudos sobre sua obra. O que fecha de modo conclusivo esta análise é reconhecer
que a continuação do projeto criador de Márcio Souza no Boto Tucuxi está devotada a
estabelecer os sinais representativos de uma postura modernista da literatura amazonense em
contraponto às passadistas, ao mesmo tempo em que se utiliza de temas relacionados a
Amazônia e das formas de “leitura” destes temas como a chance de se lançar ao grupo dos
classificadores de Amazônia e ser reconhecido por eles
