Nothing is more powerful than a phenomenon whose time has come. What is the macroeconomic empirical context of growing mobile banking? Perhaps one of the deepest empirical hollows in the financial development literature has been the equation of financial depth in the perspective of money supply to liquid liabilities. This equation has put on the margin, a burgeoning phenomenon whose time has come: mobile banking.

The rise of the service economy has redirected the research agenda towards the potential of services firms to adopt innovation activity. Here we analyze the determinants of innovation activity in the tourism industry, which is one of the fastest growing service industries in the world. Our analysis builds upon the theoretical notion of entrepreneurial culture in order to suggest that entrepreneurs possess such culture when they actively and consciously seek information in order to underwrite the risk and ambiguity inherent in actions such as innovation activity. At the empirical level, entrepreneurial culture is approximated by active engagement in networking activity. Our results indicate that both internal and external to the firm social capital generation processes, determine innovation activity in tourism and provide evidence over the selective nature of information networks.
