Every year the GEM Spain team prepares a report on entrepreneurial activity in the country. After 23 years, it would seem unnecessary to explain why this report has become a fundamental tool for understanding the entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem in our country. Or to have to explain why it is a vital reference for researchers, policy makers, entrepreneurs or anyone interested in business development. It is also well known that the GEM Spain Report analyses with scientific rigour the entrepreneurial phenomenon, activity, characteristics and context. It would be redundant to emphasise that its importance lies in the information it provides annually, giving a complete, detailed and up-to-date vision for designing effective policies and strategies to support and promote entrepreneurship in the country. However, it is important to remember how it is done year after year. In our country, the GEM report is developed in the Spanish Entrepreneurship Observatory through a network of 27 regional teams representing the entire Spanish territory, without whose effort and commitment all this would be impossible.

Industrial and organizational psychology (I-O psychology) contributes to an organization’s success by improving the job performance, wellbeing, motivation, job satisfaction, and the health and safety of employees. Given the extent to which organizations today are increasingly comprised of employees from different cultural and language backgrounds, studying the cultural aspect of I-O psychology has become a necessity. The post-pandemic world in which the remote or hybrid workplace is becoming increasingly common adds importance to the multicultural perspective in the discipline due to the distances involved between employees and management. Examining Applied Multicultural Industrial and Org...

En el 70 aniversario del fin de La Guerra Civil, el emocionante testimonio de las víctimas más inocentes de la guerra, los niños. En 1937, una España dividida en dos sufría los efectos de un conflicto que se preveía largo y cruel.

Otros muchos tuvieron que huir. Alrededor de 30.0...
