The interaction between a company and its stakeholder environment explains a key part of corporate behavior. This is because the level of social acceptance that the company achieves affects consumer trust, employee commitment, and access to credit or support from suppliers. This book examines these relationships to discover the best way to align corporate behaviour with the interests, values and preferences of stakeholders. It features contributions on topics such as marketing, emerging technologies, women in entrepreneurship, sports and tourism.

Religious studies and research have gained a lot of interest and attention from researchers, policy makers, and practitioners over the last few years, but the socio-economic impacts have not been explored. Taking into account the profound economic impact the tourism and hospitality industries can have on regions and cities around the world, further research in this area is critical to analyze the extent of such impact and the ramifications that are associated with it. The Handbook of Research on Socio-Economic Impacts of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the social and economic factors in faith-based journeys. While highlighting topics such as tourist spending, spiritual tourism, and local development, this publication explores religious tourism in the middle age, as well as the methods of modern religious tourism. This book is ideally designed for business managers, cultural preservationists, academicians, business professionals, entrepreneurs, and upper-level students seeking current research on religious tourism and its socio-economic impacts.

This collection of papers, selected from the 3rd International Congress on Economics, illustrates the pragmatic approach of researchers in Ecuador, and provides answers to the main local problems: corruption, environment, access to new technologies, poverty, income distribution, migration, and labour relations.

Communities are one of the most important factors affecting consumer decisions. The final phase of the concept of community with developing technology and globalization is virtual communities. As this book argues, the subject of virtual communities and how they are changing is also now more relevant than ever before for students, as they will be the future managers and business owners who have to grapple with the effects of the changes in behaviour. This text provides detailed information about the definition, features, and types of virtual communities, and will stimulate academics, students and especially business owners to conduct more research in this field.
El exitoso columnista del New York Times Thomas Friedman publicó, en 2005, un provocador libro que tituló La Tierra es plana: breve historia del mundo globalizado del siglo XX. Impresionado por un viaje realizado a la ciudad de Bangalore, en la India, argumentaba que los procesos de globalización habían logrado tal alcance, que ahora era posible innovar sin necesidad de migrar. En consecuencia, concluía, "el mundo se había aplanado", por lo cual la distancia y la localización se convertían en factores totalmente secundarios para los procesos económicos actuales. Esa visión contrastaba con lo que ocurría dentro de las ciencias económicas y, en particular, con uno de sus campos de conocimiento: el de la economía urbana y regional, en el que la distancia, la localización y en general la dimensión espacial de los fenómenos económicos es central para comprender la forma en que operan los procesos de crecimiento y desarrollo.

Tan globales como históricas, las distintas migraciones del nuevo milenio son masivas, diversas y particularmente están ligadas a las guerras e invasiones en Oriente Medio y África. No obstante, también son de índole económica (y laboral), cultural y social. Nuestra América, Asia y Oceanía no son la excepción de la regla, sino más bien la confirmación del fenómeno de migraciones en todo el mundo incluyendo sus impactos en Norteamérica y Europa. Pero, ¿cómo comprender un fenómeno que está generando grandes transformaciones en nuestro tiempo? Tal fenómeno no puede obviarse desde las Ciencias Sociales y las Humanidades. En efecto, en el presente número de Revista nuestrAmérica los lectores tendrán la posibilidad de indagar en las entrañas de diversas interpretaciones que exigen una mirada holística e interdisciplinaria así como el reto de observar varios casos y experiencias que permitan generar enfoques y discusiones teóricas sobre el tema central: migraciones, refugiados y desplazamiento forzado.
