Item type:Publication, Crises conducting stakeholder salience: shifts in the evolution of private universities’ governance in Latin America(Emerald, 2021-01-01)This study aims to build on embedded approaches to stakeholder management and examines how organizational decision-makers consider social responsibility toward proximal stakeholders in crises that encompass an entire system of stakeholder relationships. Design/methodology/approach: Within a criterion-based sample of eight Latin American private universities, this paper develops in-depth exploratory case studies to examine the prioritization of stakeholders in higher education institutions’ decision-making during the outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis. Findings: Contrary to the notion that during crises organizations prioritize stakeholders that provide resources that are critical to survival, this study finds that in contextual crises stakeholder management is informed by social responsibility. In addition, the findings suggest that crises may be tipping points for changes toward mission-driven approaches to governance. Practical implications: Acknowledging the roles of social responsibility and proximity in stakeholder management during contextual crises allows for more informed governance of organizations that face disruptions in their system of stakeholder relations. Originality/value: This study contributes unique insights into the decision-maker’s prioritization of stakeholders during the COVID-19 crisis. The uncertainty associated with the emerging “new normal” allowed for an extreme test of socially embedded versus resource-oriented approaches to stakeholder management. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, COVID-19 and higher education: responding to local demands and the consolidation of e-internationalization in Latin American universities(Emerald, 2021-10-22)This paper aims to provide insights into the internationalization strategic responses to the COVID-19 pandemic by higher education institutions (HEIs) in Latin America. Design/methodology/approach: This study is based on information from eight leading Latin American private universities. The data were obtained from official sources such as institutional communications and university administrators. Findings: The authors identify two main issues that HEIs should consider while responding to the pandemic. First, greater attention and resource allocation to the universities' main local stakeholders can affect traditional internationalization activities. Second, a focus on revitalizing foreign partnerships and strengthening “virtual internationalization” can help maintain and eventually increase international presence. Research limitations/implications: While this study analyses how these Latin American HEIs responded during the initial stages of the COVID-19 outbreak, it is important to conduct follow-up studies to shed light on how HEIs are adapting to the COVID-19 crisis as it continues to unfold. Originality/value: This study is based on unique information gathered from leading private, not-for-profit HEIs in Latin America, which, contrary to state-owned HEIs or other private institutions in developed economies, have exhibited different means and conditions to respond to the coronavirus outbreak. Finally, the authors contribute to the literature on the internationalization of HEIs by discussing the role of a significant disruptive event on the internationalization of higher education and, particularly, business schools. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Looking back to look forward: Learnings from the past to achieve sustainable recovery after upcoming global crises(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2022-01-01)This study identifies measures to recover economic growth and build sustainable societies and markets in post-COVID-19 scenarios-with a perspective of resilience and adaptability to climate change and massive biodiversity loss. Additionally, this study uncovers the interventions implemented to address economic, environmental and social consequences of past crises based on a systematic literature review. Specifically, this chapter provides answers to the following six questions: (1) What has been done in the past to rebuild social, economic and environmental balance after global crises? (2) Where (geographical region) did the analysis on measures taken concentrate? (3) When have scholars analysed past measures to rebuild business and society after a global crisis? (4) How did the past measures to rebuild business and society after the global crisis take place? (5) Who promotes the measures to rebuild business and society after a global crisis takes place? (6) Why is it important to study the previous literature on past measures to rebuild business and society after a global crisis takes place? Finally, this chapter identifies future research opportunities to rebuild business and society after the past global crises. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Climate-resilient and regenerative futures for Latin America and the Caribbean(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-09-01)Few events have had an impact as the global crisis caused by COVID-19. However, prior to the pandemic, Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries already had severe problems in terms of inequality, environmental degradation, and dysfunctional political systems. Added to this are the growing challenges that climate change poses for this highly vulnerable region. This historic turning point represents a new call to consider future studies to re-imagine and reinvent alternative futures for the LAC region . For this paper, we conducted an in-depth qualitative futures study to identify how Latin American and Caribbean countries could build long-term resilience, focusing on adaptability to climate change risks, considering existing sustainable development challenges and the detrimental effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economic, environmental, and social aspects. This study's findings provide recommendations for policymakers and decision-makers to achieve sustainable futures for LAC. Finally, it reflects on the value of collective action for a future-proof region. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, From sci-fi to reality in the new space economy: Unlocking the potential of sustainable interplanetary supply chains(Springer Nature, 2024-01-01)Interplanetary supply chains (IPSCs) are transitioning from science fiction to reality, presenting unique challenges and opportunities. This chapter aims to discuss IPSCs from a business and management standpoint, focusing on sustainability. Challenges in outer space supply chains, including planetary positioning, outsourcing, and space logistics, are explored. Even though Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to enhance IPSC resilience and efficiency by predicting risks, optimizing operations, and supporting financial services, trust in AI and Internet of Things remains a challenge too. Adapting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for space activities is crucial, considering environmental, ethical, and resource-specific challenges. Consequently, regarding opportunities, AI can assist in resource management and environmental sustainability in space. Hence, socio-economic impacts and equitable resource distribution in space activities are discussed, emphasizing the need for robust and sustainable AI systems for space’s harsh environment. Also, international collaboration and governance are vital, while future sustainable IPSCs would need to incorporate blockchain integration, efficient modeling, and scalability tools. In conclusion, this chapter contributes to the evolving discussion of IPSCs, the potential for new SDGs, and the multifaceted challenges and opportunities of sustainability in interplanetary business. Also, it underscores the importance of responsible and sustainable space exploration for humanity’s future.
