Item type:Publication, The quintuple helix of innovation model and the SDGs: Latin American countries’ case and its forgotten effects(MDPI AG, 2021-02-02)The sustainable development of countries is associated with a set of actions that must be implemented in the long term. In this process, society must be a valid partner in the decisions that are made. Studies show the interrelationship between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which increases uncertainty and makes decision-making more difficult. On the other hand, the Quintuple Helix of Innovation Model (QHIM) provides an analytical framework to explain the sys-tems’ interactions. The motivation of the study lies in knowing the relationships between the variables that affect SDGs. The manuscript aims to broaden the discussion on sustainable development and propose two models to support decision making. The first one suggests 20 indicators linked to the QHIM with the SDGs in Latin American countries. The second identifies the forgotten effects through the application of a Fuzzy Logic algorithm. The main contribution is to know these effects and to support decision-making. The research carried out can be classified as applied, with the ex-planatory objective and the combined approach (quantitative-qualitative), modeling and simula-tion, and case study methods. The QHIM results indicate that Chile leads the ranking, followed by Brazil, Mexico, Peru, and Colombia. Also, it reveals the importance of correctly identifying cause-effects by seeking harmony between systems. A limitation would be the number of variables used. The study indicates promising lines of research. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Business school model of social responsibility and sustainability and its impact on small- and mid-sized enterprises(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2022-03-28)Purpose This study aims to define a business school model of social responsibility (SR) and sustainability and describe how the implementation of this model impacts on small- and mid-sized enterprises (SME) and stakeholders in the chain. Design/methodology/approach The model was built based on a conceptual analysis about the literary and documentary review in recognized databases of scientific publications and models of SR, accreditations and impact and quality report systems of business schools. The implementation of the model was based on a project that involved Peruvian SME. Data were collected through surveys administered to the study population. The results were confirmed through in-depth interviews. Analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive-analytical methods were used to present the SR model. Findings This model focused on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), partnerships and solved relevant social and economic problems. It also allowed the growth of the micro entrepreneur, the family, the company, the society and other stakeholders in the chain. Research limitations/implications The model was validated in one business school but generated more results than the expected. It is recommended to replicate it in other organizations. It has been developed in pandemic and post-pandemic situations. Practical implications The model was based on many impact models that considered the SDGs and relevant alliance generation that involved stakeholders in the chain. It also contributed to the development of entrepreneurs and the society. Social implications The model benefited people, society and companies. The program aimed to train and formalize entrepreneurs and generate social and economic development. Originality/value This study allowed moving from theory to practice in topics of SR and sustainability. The main original aspect is that the model was based on the Unión de Responsabilidad Social Universitaria Latino Americana model; the Business Graduates Association, European Quality Improvement System, Business school Impact System, Global Reporting Initiative standards, the Responsible Business Conduct and the SDGs. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Palgrave Handbook of Social Sustainability in Business Education(Springer, 2024-03-13)This book provides a holistic conceptualization of social sustainability, going beyond the topics of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and showcases how the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasizing social sustainability can be integrated into business studies' curricula in different parts of the world. A unique collection of literature comprising educational principles, content, activities, and cases will guide educators, managers of business study programs, and higher education leaders in developing engaging, high-impact educational experiences that enable students to solve grand societal challenges and grow as ethical, inclusive leaders. This handbook features a wide-range of tested teaching innovations. These cover education models addressing newest trends, such as utilizing artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies in education about-and-for socially sustainable business or skill development for enabling circular economy and sustainable production and consumption patterns. The classical, impactful yet underutilized in business studies instructional techniques such as storytelling and theatre are also discussed comprehensively. A cross-disciplinary approach of the handbook speaks to scholars aiming to research and implement business education, which connects social, environmental, and economic dimensions in quality education that promotes sustainable development. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Creating social value through problem-based learning: Using podcasts in business education(Springer, 2024-03-13)This chapter presents how utilizing problem-based learning (PBL) enhanced by podcasts-audio files distributed periodically with varying thematic content-as an educational resource aids the development of undergraduate learners' competencies such as critical thinking, ethics, sustainability awareness, and the ability to solve sustainability-related business challenges. To illustrate the functionality and benefits of using podcasts to teach social sustainability in business education, we provide a case example from Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú in which the podcast "Relatos de gestión" ["Management Stories"], based on a storytelling technique, has proven to connect the learners with social and environmental problems. This podcast series helped to activate learners' emotions since listening to it enabled them to explore true stories from a first-hand perspective and the latter learning experience enhanced their agency to participate in creating sustainable business solutions. Moreover, learners significantly deepened their understanding of creating social and public value for businesses whose mission and strategies contribute to specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This chapter specifically focuses on the podcast episode developed to target SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), in which learners develop empathy with the problem; SDG 5 (Gender Equality), in which learners reflect on new opportunities for women; and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), in which learners analyze the new work conditions of women. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Marine Fisheries Management in the Eastern Central Atlantic Ocean(Elsevier Ltd, 2023-10-01)Marine fishing is crucial to the socio-economy of West Africa fishery. However, the sector has many challenges, which have increased the call for an integrated approach that provides links among human needs, activities, changes in the state of the environment, and the resultant effect on ecosystem services for sustainable management in fulfilment of the Conservation on Biological Diversity and the Sustainable Development Goals. This study uses a socio-ecological framework (Drivers (D), Activities (A), Pressure (P), State (S), Impact (I) on welfare (W), and Response (R) as a Measure (M); DAPSI(W)R(M)) to assess the marine fishery sector of Ghana. Data were systematically sampled and analysed from vessel logbooks, fish manifests, observer reports, and relevant publications. Results show that Drivers, including livelihoods and revenue, food, and social status, contribute to industrial tuna and trawl fishing, and marine artisanal fishing activities. Where illegal fishing methods such as small mesh-size nets (less than 25 mm), lights, poisonous substances, among others, are used. These activities have contributed to the pressures of selective fishing of juvenile and adult pelagic and demersal fish species. This has contributed to (changes in the State) the decline and vulnerability of Sardinella spp., and Engraulis encrasicolus, among others. The Impact on welfare includes Ghana becoming a net importer of marine species with increasing idleness of fishers due to reduced catch. Several management measures, including the Fisheries Act 625 of 2002 and Fisheries (Amendment) Regulations L.I. 2217 of 2015, and quotas in the tuna sector, among others, have been instituted to curb the effect of anthropogenic activities. Management measures, including influencing consumer behaviour for a sustainable fishery, enforcement, and data-driven management, have been recommended, in response to the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals, the United Nations Decade of Ocean and the Convention on Biological Diversity. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, STEM enabling digital skills for women microentrepreneurs in Peru(Springer Nature, 2026-12-01)Women-led microenterprises play a central role in local economies, yet many remain excluded from digital and STEM-related opportunities. This study examines how a University Social Responsibility (USR) training program in Peru supports the development of digital skills that enable women micro-entrepreneurs to progress toward STEM pathways. The objectives were to identify current digital practices, barriers and opportunities for adoption, typologies of digital users, and priority actions to strengthen USR–STEM programs. A qualitative design was used based on six focus groups conducted across six regions. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis with a deductive–inductive approach, supported by predefined categories linked to the study objectives and refined through emerging patterns. Findings show increasing use of social networks, management tools, and generative AI, often stimulated by the training received. Barriers include financial constraints, limited time due to care responsibilities, and gaps in technical skills. Opportunities arise from growing confidence, demand for practical and progressive training, and the role of partnerships with universities and local actors. Two adoption profiles emerge: (1) high-adoption users integrating diverse tools for management and innovation, and (2) transitioning users whose basic digital engagement is shaped by structural constraints. The study proposes a cost–time priority matrix and aligns the findings with SDG-tech indicators to guide scalability. The results highlight the need for differentiated training pathways and multisector partnerships to reduce digital gender gaps and advance women's technological inclusion. The findings offer practical guidance for institutions and policymakers designing scalable digital and STEM-oriented programs for women micro-entrepreneurs.Scopus© Citations 1 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Evaluating sustainable development goals through market capitalisation: where we are half way and future research ahead(Inderscience Publishers, 2025-01-01)The study shows the situation of the 2030 Agenda halfway between 2015 and 2030. The empirical study aims to determine which SDGs are positively correlated with market capitalisation of publicly listed companies. Through a multiple linear regression between the 17 SDGs and market capitalisation in 26 developed and 48 emerging countries, the study finds that, for the most part, SDGs are inversely correlated with the market capitalisation of the countries studied. Therefore, companies would tend to undertake initiatives only associated with those SDGs that are positively correlated (2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12 and 17) with market capitalisation. This worrying inconsistency reflects a merely transactional implementation of initiatives, which becomes more acute depending on the type of country (developed or emerging). Seven potential factors are proposed as an explanation based on the rigorous literature review, and four relevant fields of future research are opened as a result of the study.2
