The field of strategic management is facing new challenges, as two phenomena, sustainability, and information and communication technologies, have altered the classic pillars of business strategy. These far-reaching changes require companies to make rapid adaptations in order to achieve optimal situations, which can no longer be developed as they did in the past. To help academics and managers understand the new fields of study and research within strategic management, Javier Martínez-Falcó, Assistant Professor at the University of Alicante, has written a groundbreaking book, New Perspectives and Possibilities in Strategic Management in the 21st Century: Between Tradition and Modernity.

A pesar del elevado grado de globalización de la economía, el desarrollo acelerado de nuevas tecnologías y las amplias redes logísticas existentes a nivel internacional en la actualidad, la localización parece posicionarse como un factor clave para la competitividad de las empresas. En este sentido, la especialización territorial genera un ambiente cooperativo-competitivo particular que, por una parte, presiona a las empresas a realizar esfuerzos continuos para incrementar su competitividad, y por otra las impulsa a cooperar en la consecución de objetivos compartidos. El presente libro profundiza en el estudio de los efectos derivados de la aglomeración industrial sobre las capacidad...
El presente libro tiene como objetivo contrastar si los distritos industriales zapateros de las comarcas españolas del Vinalopó siguen teniendo vigencia en la actualidad, o si, por el contrario, la actividad zapatera desarrollada en dichas aglomeraciones empresariales ha perdido relevancia en favor de otras actividades económicas. Además, se analiza cómo dichos distritos actúan como polo de atracción de la inversión extranjera. De acuerdo con los resultados, es posible afirmar que los distritos industriales zapateros del Vinalopó identificados en trabajos previos, siguen teniendo vigencia en la actualidad. Lo cual implica que, tras dos décadas después, estos territorios mantienen su especialización productiva en torno a la industria del calzado, superior a la media nacional. Del mismo modo, es posible afirmar que el 66,67% de la inversión extranjera en la industria de calzado español reside en las comarcas del Vinalopó, constatando la importancia del territorio como polo de atracción de la inversión extranjera.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected global trade. While factories have stopped production worldwide due to COVID-19, global trade has also been adversely affected by the pandemic. The international trade of the world’s top exporting countries has begun to decline. Although it is too early to judge the impact of the pandemic on world trade, as the virus has not yet been eradicated, research into the cause-effect relationship between these two phenomena is necessary to understand the magnitude of its impact as well as possible solutions to the problem. The Transformation of Global Trade in a New World provides relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest findings in the field of i...
Después de leer este libro el lector tendrá claro que el paisaje económico y social en España se caracteriza, entre otros aspectos, por la presencia de distritos industriales alimentarios. Una parte importante de las actividades productivas desarrolladas en estos distritos industriales alimentarios dan lugar a productos típicos e incluso, en muchos casos, difícilmente reproducibles en otras zonas geográficas. Ello proporciona a las empresas allí localizadas un entorno especializado que favorece el desarrollo de productos de calidad y reconocidos internacionalmente, lo que redunda en última instancia en su mayor competitividad. Algunos ejemplos de estos productos elaborados en distri...
In an increasingly changing and complex environment, sustainable development, corporate social responsibility, effective knowledge management, and intellectual assets represent the basis of today’s innovations and therefore the new ways for organizations to compete in the marketplace. In this regard, organizations need to incorporate a sustainable approach to their operations because there is a growing awareness of environmental issues among customers. They are faced with increasingly stringent environmental regulations, and the development of sustainable practices can lead to sustainable competitive advantages over time. Intellectual Capital as a Precursor to Sustainable Corporate Social ...
As the world grapples with the pressing issue of natural resource depletion, the global beverage industry finds itself at a crossroads, thrust into the spotlight as a significant contributor to environmental challenges. The dire consequences of climate change and resource exhaustion necessitate a fundamental shift in the industry's practices. The alarming increase in plastic waste, water consumption, and carbon emissions associated with beverage production and distribution has prompted a profound reassessment of its impact on the planet. In this context of environmental urgency, Economics and Environmental Responsibility in the Global Beverage Industry dissects the challenges faced by the in...
In the wine industry, sustainability is an extremely important issue for two main reasons: Firstly, the industry faces serious threats as a consequence of climate change, as well as water and energy scarcity. Secondly, proper sustainable management of wineries can mean obtaining a competitive advantage by allowing them to increase market share and organizational innovation processes. In this sense, previous work has shown that customers tend to select wines that have been developed following sustainable practices, despite not knowing what this means in practice. The Handbook of Research on Sustainability Challenges in the Wine Industry serves as a guide for study, reflection, and critique to...
