Abstract. The most recognized learning management systems are now accessible through applications for mobile devices. These systems represent an innovative didactic tool that facilitates the teaching-learning process and the communication with “digital native” students through ICT. This study is based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model (UTAUT2) to explore the factors that determine the behavioral intention. The experience of using Google Classroom (GC) is documented among students of three groups of a business course at the Universidad Autonoma de Chihuahua in Mexico. 72 responses to a questionnaire were collected among students who completed the course and used GC for 16 weeks. By means of a structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), the results showed that the performance expectancy, the effort expectancy, and intrinsic regulation positively influence the student´s behavioral intention to continue to use Google Classroom.

Handbook of Research on the Strategic Management of Family Businesses, 2020

Thus, strategic management is the art and science of formulating, implementing, and evaluating cross-functional decisions that enable an organization to achieve its objectives. Strategic management focuses on integrating management, marketing, finance/accounting, production, R&D, and computer information systems to achieve organizational success. In family firms, these business' processes and activities are influenced by the family's involvement in the firm, affecting the behavior and strategic decision-making process in this type of organization. Family businesses are a form of organization that represents an important portion of the business. It is estimated that between 60 percent and 90 percent of firms are family businesses, a portion that varies depending on the different regions in the world. A family business can be recognized theoretically, as a governed and/or managed organization with the intention of shaping and pursuing the business vision in the hands of a dominant coalition controlled by members of the same family or a small number of families in a way that is potentially sustainable between generations of the family or families. Given the complexities of the family business, there is no single definition, which has hindered the study and development of research in this field. In fact, in the development of empirical studies, the researchers adopt an operational definition that covers a wide scope regarding ownership considerations in the hands of the family, or aspects that relate to the intentions of the generational transfer of the firm to the following family generations. However, the development of the literature in family business as a field of research has grown considerably , especially in the context of strategic management. Undoubtedly, what distinguishes family businesses is the influence of the family in the decision-making processes. This familiarity is configured through the unique set of resources and capabilities generated from the interaction of family and business systems. The overlap of family and business systems in the strategic decision-making process would be responsible for the characteristic behavior of these organizations. Research in the field of strategic management in family businesses was initially devoted to studying the differences in behavior between family and nonfamily businesses. However, given the systematic progress of this field of study, in recent times, research has been oriented to the analysis of behavioral differences between family businesses. This has allowed recognizing the heterogeneity of behavior of this type of organization. Specifically, previous research provides evidence that family involvement and influence can affect the firm's performance, signaling the emergence of agency theory and resource-based vision as primary theoretical approaches. Similarly, recent findings suggest that corporate governance, succession, and competitive resources/advantage are the topics that have focused attention on the context of the strategic management of the family business. In this context, new theoretical frameworks have emerged based xxii

However, efforts remain to summarize and systematize the main aspects that affect the behavior of this type of company. In this regard, the topic of strategic management has been developed. In this sense, it is especially important to recognize how the family decisively influences the behavior of the company and also to identify how the existence of the company affects family dynamics. Those who manage family businesses, whether family or not, must reconcile both perspectives (business and family) in the definition of strategic objectives, allowing sustainability and continuity in this type of organization. The Handbook of Research on the Strategic Management of Family Businesses provides emerging research that covers how strategic management in the family business has been developed and identifies the objectives that sustain this strategic behavior, the main areas of analysis (family and business), the definition of strategies, and their implementation. Also, the authors of this book review the different scenarios for family firms and propose strategies to tackle the challenges and seize the possibilities to grow in a competitive and dynamic environment. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as human capital, organizational leadership, and knowledge creation, this book is ideally designed for family firms, managers, advisors, consultants, policymakers, business professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, researchers, academicians, and students.

Senior Entrepreneurship and Aging in Modern Business, 2020

While retirement age is being increased and pension plans appear insufficient, such uncertainty is driving seniors to uphold an economic activity to pursue a better quality of life. Thus, entrepreneurship is becoming a common practice, and senior entrepreneurs have become one of the fastest-growing groups around the world. Senior entrepreneur-ship is recognized to have the potential to affect economic growth, hence carrying social and economic benefits for the economies. Based on data from the Adult Population Survey 2013-2017 from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, the authors of this chapter used binomial logistic regression analysis considering individual factors related to senior entrepreneurial intention in eight countries in Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, and Peru).

A comprehensive systematic search in Clarivate Analytics Web of Science through December 2017 allowed the authors to retrieve 389 peer-reviewed articles. After careful screening, the final sample was reduced to 152 documents from 72 journals. The characteristics of the scientific journals, the diverse topics currently addressed, and the main lines of research were identified. The results revealed the existence of a highly diversified field of research with a wide variety of topics, receiving a growing interest and not limited to specialized journals nor a reduced number of researchers. All of this is indicative of an advance in the field to consolidate innovation as a high potential area of study. This allows researchers to reflect on the current status and research opportunities to contribute to the development of this field.

The never-ending advances in new information and communication technologies (ICT) have more than ever changed the way in which we live, communicate, and process information. This has reshaped our habits to cope with a world constantly demanding new daily virtual experiences. People of all ages are in need to grip these experiences in one way or another. Regarding the advances in ICT, the internet alongside digital and social media have created whole new possibilities to gather real-time data and store valuable information while being virtually connected at all times. This postulates an evident challenge for companies to capitalize on the possibilities of digital marketing media and an opportunity to reach customers effectively using metadata and other resources virtually available. In this chapter, the authors used OLS regressions using Google Trends query data from 2008 to 2016 to measure the growing interest in digital marketing and other related topics and the monetization of such interest in the Spanish media sector.

Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) are among the topics that have lately aroused the interest of FF related research. EO is considered a significant issue for firms´ survival and growth as it may help businesses to develop competitive advantage and lead to better performance. This chapter aims to shed light on the relationship between the EO of FF and their commitment to CSR as a source of competitive advantage. For this purpose, this chapter analyzes how the CSR concept has evolved and positioned in Spain. Thus, an overview of the EO construct is presented. Finally, an analysis of the EO-CSR interface is described with a particular focus on Spanish FF. Even though the focus in this chapter is on FF, the conclusions could be to some extent generalized to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The conceptual model was validated based on the responses of 135 directors of Chilean family firms by using a partial least squares–structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) methodology. The results show a relationship between the three components of KI and their impact on the organisational performance of data analytics, in addition to the moderating effects of both the quality of information and the information alignment within the proposed model. Our findings contribute data analytics to the family business literature and support organisational management by encouraging cooperation and the sharing of information and expertise among family members.

The purpose of this study is to show an overview of the recent evolution of the gaming market in representative countries in Eastern Asia, Western Europe, and North America during 2017-2019, and the corresponding growth projections for the next five years. For this purpose, descriptive, correlational, and forecasting analyses were used to assess the relationships among key variables associated with the growth of the gaming industry and to show different possibilities to address the data using data analytics. The games market revenues, total number of players, Google trends data, GDP per capita and online population were studied as possible key influencers to explain the industry's growth. Predictive analytics with MS Power BI revealed a positive correlation between GDP per capita and market revenues and players in European and North American countries, while in Asia was just the opposite. Also, a positive relationship between Google trends in esports and the games market revenues is noted. Forecasts showed significant growth for each region. Practical implications and future research directions are discussed.

Based on the dynamic capabilities theory, the main goal of this paper is to address this research gap and to explore the relationships between both internal and external knowledge accumulation, and ordinary organizational capabilities. This research also contributes to analyzing the complex effect of the family firm essence, influenced by both family involvement and generational involvement levels, as an antecedent of internal and external knowledge accumulation. Our analysis of 102 non-listed Spanish family firms shows that the family firm essence, which is influenced by the family involvement, strengthens only the internal knowledge accumulation but not the external one. Furthermore, our study also reveals that both...

However, the achievement of such results in the family SME depends mainly on the unique characteristics of this type of organization, which in turn represent the most widespread kind of business worldwide. Therefore, the objective of this article is to analyze how the composition of the management team, and the factors related to the capabilities –cognitive factors, absorptive capacity, and innovative trajectory- and the attitudes –preservation of SEW legacy and intra-organizational behavior- of the decision makers, mediated mainly by the influence of the family, affect when designing and implementing collaborative innovation processes in a successful way.

In an attempt to deepen the understanding of social capital, the authors proposed an examination of its dimensionality. Hypotheses were formulated building upon three dimensions—cognitive, structural, and relational—embedded in both contexts as determinants of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and intention. Implications are discussed promoting an appropriate social capital dimension and favorable environment for individuals to access information, resources, and support, with the purpose to foster and motivate their entrepreneurial spirit. Structural equation modeling was used considering 399 undergraduate students from universities in Mexico and Spain.

The need to create and preserve SRI represents a key argument in investment decision-making, which leads other firms and investors to make strategic decisions beyond financial logic, based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. Within this framework, this paper aims to further clarify the understanding of potentially profitable strategies for firms during a global crisis such as a pandemic. Both primary and secondary data were gathered, and descriptive analyses were conducted. In Spain, several IBEX-35 companies announced donations amid the COVID-19 crisis. First, companies were classified into two groups based on donations made. For this, we searched for ESG online news. Then, profitability records amongst companies were identified and compared. In the trading session after the announcements, we found 12 of the 35 companies that made donations had ...
