The trio of defaulters from Americanas have been removed from Harvard's references, "where they should never have been listed," says Miola.
According to the journalist, the American educational institution lacked "academic rigor" when it published two studies about the retail chain that were retrieved from the internet.
247 - Journalist Jeferson Miola used Twitter, this Sunday (16), to comment on the removal of two studies about the Americanas retail chain from the Harvard Business Review website, a publication linked to Harvard University, in the United States. “The swindlers and fraudsters of Lojas Americanas were removed from the references of Harvard University, where they should never appear, if the institution had academic rigor instead of being an incubator of crooked neoliberal and ultraliberal recipes,” posted Miola.
The post refers to a note published by journalist L.Aurora GardenFrom O Globo, which highlights that "those who click on 'Americanas: we always want more', from 2021, or on 'Americanas: DNA of the project and the people machine', from 2020, receive the information that the link has been removed".
The Americanas retail chain, whose main shareholders include billionaires Jorge Paulo Lemann, Marcel Telles, and Carlos Alberto Sicupira, has filed for bankruptcy protection after announcing a fiscal shortfall that resulted in debts exceeding R$ 40 billion.
