While many researchers have examined how organizations acquire, manage, and leverage legitimacy in urban ventures, there is still a lack of consensus on the role of different types of legitimacy in rural ventures. This paper distinguishes between two types of legitimacy, political and market legitimacy, and utilizes ANOVA to identify variations in these types of legitimacy based on venture factors such as the leader's education and the venture's age. Our findings suggest that rural ventures tend to have stronger market legitimacy than political legitimacy, and that younger ventures exhibit stronger market legitimacy compared to older ones.

This study aims to analyzed the development of open innovation research knowledge and its application in the tourism sector during the past 17 years, with the aim of understanding the scientific activity and impact of existing research. In addition, this research identifies trending thematic lines and provides recommendations for future research on this topic.
Design/methodology/approach
A bibliometric analysis was carried out from the Scopus database, in which 110 studies related to open innovation in tourism were identified. The analysis of the papers was done with the Bibliometrix and Vosviewer tools.
Findings
The results show that there is a recent and growing interest among academics, especially since 2017. Moreover, four main lines of work were identified: overtourism and sustainability, value cocreation, open innovation and competitive advantage and its impact on organizations belonging to the hotel sector and the relationship between external knowledge and internal sources in innovation management and open innovation performance.
Originality/value
The relationship with other stakeholders involved in the customer experience value creation in the tourism sector depends to a large extent on the joint offer that hotels, restaurants, tour operators and tourist offices, can provide in a tourist destination. Therefore, having external sources to innovate from will improve their innovative and organizational performance. However, there are no bibliometric analyses on the application of the open innovation paradigm in this sector. Thus, this research contributes to fill this gap, as well as to identify the most recurrent themes that show how open innovation is developing in tourism, providing academics and researchers with guidelines for future research.

Little is known about the operational performance of new rural ventures, which is a fundamental aspect for the competitiveness of any business. This research evaluates operational performance outcomes in rural entrepreneurship-Delivery, Flexibility, Production Cost, Product Quality. The results show that the ventures have a high performance in delivery and product quality, and medium performance in flexibility and cost of production. These findings can be useful to rural entrepreneurs and policy makers to improve operational performance and competitiveness. This article sheds light on the understanding of operational performance in rural entrepreneurship and provides valuable findings that can direct future research.

While many businesses worldwide have adapted to working from home or home-based offices, this is impractical in this sector as building activity is conducted on-site, which creates difficulties for employees in adapting to the post-pandemic setting. OBJECTIVE:This article analyzes how the pandemic has changed and affected construction firms’ human management control systems dimensions. We addressed, amidst the pandemic, how work is being performed and its effects on employees and businesses. METHODS:In this analytical research, we used chain referral sampling to perform an in-depth interview study with top administrators of different construction firms in Colombia, and we used inferential statistics for our data analysis. RESULTS:Results showed potential sources of low efficiency and minimal control of resources, including lack of communication with employees, lack of recognition systems, centralized decision-making, and disconnection between business objectives and financial requirements. CONCLUSIONS:Construction firms must ensure workers understand the project goals adequately and be empowered to make on-site decisions provided a training program is offered. Organizations ought to connect their strategic business goals with financial requirements; these must be regularly updated and modified as the economic and labor force scenario evolves.

The study is grounded in the conceptualization of project management and MCS and builds upon an interview study conducted with managers of residential construction firms in the country. Our findings revealed that the economic dimension is the least developed, indicating a need for improvement. The project's specific objectives include enhancing the MCS's economic dimension, refining evaluation methods for goal fulfillment, implementing incentive programs, fostering decentralized decision-making, and nurturing human potential within residential construction firms. By addressing these objectives, the proposed EcoMCS application seeks to facilitate efficient and effective project management practices in the residential construction industry, ultimately contributing to more sustainable and cost-effective construction projects.

The evaluation focuses on a sample of 8602 patients collected by the SEER program from 2007 to 2012 in Atlanta. We developed a logistic regression model to measure the level of concordance for the occurrence of radiotherapy after lumpectomy surgery. We calculated the accuracy evaluation to estimate the model's pathway concordance measure. Our study determined that multiple factors, encompassing surgery type, age, cancer stage, and if radiotherapy was implemented as part of the first course of treatment combined with tumor grade and behavior, are essential for the decision to include radiotherapy in patients' clinical pathway after surgery.

To develop product innovations, companies require different knowledge sources. This research aims to identify the effects of both internal and external sources on product innovation. Using logistic regression, we test the proposed model using data from the Colombian Manufacturing Industry Technological Development and Innovation Survey (TDIS). The results suggest that internal, market and free access sources have a significant positive impact on the probability of companies developing product innovation.

Managing business processes that integrate information systems is a critical issue in big-box stores nowadays. Commercial initiatives have focused on optimizing internal processes to enhance productivity and react to fluctuating business environmental forces. This research proposes a comprehensive business process management (BPM) design and application for the importations process on a big-box store located in Colombia, highly integrated with basic and advanced information systems. Big-box stores use advanced information systems that synchronize with multiple essential internal processes. We modeled the importations process phases with a robust graphical framework for BPM methods and flexible automation. We evaluate the actual process time performance and contrast its current state with the novel BPM model implementation benefits. The application of the proposed BPM model contemplates a 43% reduction in the execution times of process activities with a projected 30% decrease in default costs.

The deficiency in hospital parking facilities causes drivers to spend more time getting a parking spot, causing delays for patients and physicians. We develop and validate discrete-event simulation models upon other parking configurations in a Saudi Arabian hospital to assess smart parking benefits. We find that technology implementations are not advantageous for condensed parking areas. Our results indicate that the improvements in drivers' time will depend on the various factors of the parking configuration and aspects such as the car arrival rate, car flow, and parking visibility.

The design and implementation of strategies related to education for entrepreneurship and articulation of these with the universities' substantive functions would support students' entrepreneurship culture, promoting different capacities to face occupational contexts. We developed a questionnaire under the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students' Survey (GUESSS). The sample consisted of 224 students belonging to higher education institutions from the surgical instrumentation programs in Barranquilla, Colombia. The research results showed that the entrepreneurial intention increases in students to the extent that they have an adequate perception of business entrepreneurship and their confidence in managing and exploiting their capacities upon graduating from the academic program.

In Phase 3 of the plan, populations between 16 and 59 years with a set of specific comorbidities will be vaccinated. Our study aims to evaluate the comorbidities incidence in the survival probability to assess the population at most risk if infected and assist in the assignation on this phase. In this study, multivariate Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier curves were performed to determine risk predictors of mortality for 610 reports of up to 15-day decay non-survivor SARS-CoV-2 infected in Colombia. After implementation, higher hazard ratios were associated with diabetes. Kaplan-Meier curves indicate that patients with diabetes that have an older age and hypertension are at a higher risk of earlier death.

The analysis is carried out from a theoretical perspective and highlights the need to study the business unit (micro-unit) and the regional/local scope (meso-unit) as an indissoluble whole in which value creation and competitive advantages are reinforced and sustained, thereby creating winning regions. Likewise, this paper helps us understand the systemic aspect, nature, and dynamics of innovation, and the influence of the historical, social, economic, and technological contexts that affect it. Finally, this paper highlights the study of the micro- and meso-areas of innovation, including their main schools and research.

Moreover, we propose a new way of operationalizing ambidexterity, under a holistic vision, including the synergies between exploration and exploitation. The study has been developed in the Spanish organic agro-food industry; a total of 239 usable responses were received from two respondents from each company-the general manager and the quality manager. The findings show that enabling formalization and organizational trust are positively related to ambidexterity, but contrary to our predictions, we found no evidence to show that coercive formalization is related to ambidexterity. In turn, we found different results for trust as a moderating factor on the types of formalization and ambidexterity.

Some studies have suggested that formalization is beneficial for organization performance, but others have generated contradictory results. In this research, we try to analyze the relationships between formalization, operational performance, and business performance. To test these hypotheses, the structural equation technique was used on data from a survey carried out on organic agro-food Spanish industrial firms. The results obtained show that operational performance fully mediates the relationship between formalization and business performance. Our findings contribute to the organizational literature, providing theoretical and empirical explanations of formalization implications.
