Heterogeneity in Family Firms
Authors: Guillén Gorbe Tomás , Escribá-Esteve Alejandro
Published: May 2021

This research explores in greater depth the importance of considering the heterogeneity between family businesses so as to better understand the differences in their strategic behavior, performance and business results. With this, we attempt to contribute to the theories on the relationship between corporate governance and strategic management in the field of family business research.

Our study identifies the different configurations that may be adopted in the ownership structures and the management and governance bodies of family firms, analyzing how these configurations are related to the firm’s strategic outcomes. Using a sample of 111 family firms, we perform a cluster analysis that allows us to determine distinct types of family businesses based on a set of dimensions regarding the characteristics of their governance bodies, both in business and in the family, as well as their ownership structure and degree of family involvement in management tasks. We then link the different types found with the profiles of managers, the repertoire of strategies used by these companies, and the differences in obtaining results in recent years.

Authors: Díaz-Iglesias Susana , Blanco-González Alicia , Orden-Cruz Carmen
Published: May 2021

In recent years, one of the main priorities of companies has been to adapt their business activity and commercial strategy to be aligned with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations, in its “2030 Agenda”. To overcome this challenge, companies develop and implement Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies. One of the objectives that have generated the most interest is Goal 5 dedicated to promoting gender equality. This study analyzes the gender equality evolution in companies as part of CSR through Change Management (CM). To do this, a longitudinal study was carried in the last ten years with an analysis of the content of various reports from four of the most important banks in Spain. The results corroborate the growing interest of the largest Spanish financial institutions in gender equality. Being women's access to employment, salary gap information, and the presence of women on the board of directors a priority. Likewise, the CM appears as a lever for the achievement of the SDGs by the entities, gaining relevance in recent years, and being linked to the strategic approach and business objectives for the development of CSR.
The Impact of COVID-19 in Social Sustainability
Authors: Toussaint Mariana , Cabanelas Pablo
Published: May 2021

The idea of UN Sustainable Development Goals that no one is left behind is gaining higher importance, especially during the pandemic. Despite social sustainability is a complex topic due to the absence of a clear definition and its subjectivity. It relates with existing social problems, where the COVID-19 pandemic has also increased these problems in the food value chain: poor decent working conditions, lack of occupational health and safety at the workplace, forced labor, and intensive hours of work, among others. As half of the world’s workforce is involved in the food industry, the better understanding of its associated value chains in times of pandemic can contribute to improve social sustainable practices. With this aim the current paper identifies and analyzes current challenges and problems linked to social sustainability in times of COVID-19, identifying key actors and potential solutions and recommendations. The research adopts a qualitative and exploratory method applied through the Grounded Theory analysis combining desk research with inputs from a multi-stakeholder consultation of 35 fishery experts from all over the world. The paper provides new insights and shared experiences about social sustainability in the fish value chain to overcome the crisis times we are living in.

Published: May 2021

Business accelerators provide entrepreneurs with a combination of capital and specific support resources to help them grow rapidly and scale their business idea. Despite their rapid emergence as key role players in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, research is still scant about their impact in new ventures development. This paper examines the effects of business accelerators based on the achievement of positive results from the dynamic capabilities perspective. Specifically, a qualitative and descriptive approach of Y Combinator’s business accelerator methodology has been applied. The analysis shows how Y Combinator contributes to the generation of dynamic capabilities in companies through the implementation of specific actions and resources embedded in its business acceleration program. Findings reveal that business accelerator stimulates dynamic capabilities of portfolio firms. It can help them to gain competitive advantage and superior performance in the market compared to companies that do not participate in an acceleration program.

Published: May 2021

Implementing an efficient corporate communication strategy has become a priority for all hospitals interested in building a meaningful brand. To do that, most of these organizations resort to social media such as Facebook, Twitter or Youtube. Thanks to these platforms, hospitals improve and dynamise their relationships with stakeholders, especially patients, employees and media companies. This literature review paper aims to better understand how hospitals should manage these platforms in order to build a meaningful brand based on human values. To do that, we conducted a literature review about different concepts such as corporate communication, brand, social media, and reputation; and, based on this research, we proposed an online communication model aiming to help hospitals build meaningful brands (Medpac Reputation Model). We concluded that hospital organizations should implement professional protocols to analyze the information gathered from social media, prioritize a public relations approach and ban all marketing-related initiatives, and, finally, conduct constantly different research initiatives about the health market.
Insertion of Emerging Countries Exports in Global Supply Chains
Authors: Padilla Julio , Mendez Christiam
Published: May 2021

The objective of this research is to create a reference model to help an emerging country prepare a strategic and tactical plan for its export potential using information from digital media. Countries’ economic planning has to evolve using current knowledge of international business and global supply chains—areas that dominate commerce in the world today. Linking the foreign trade approach and the supply chain approach for the model development allows structured planning of the insertion of a country’s companies into global supply chains and the reorientation of export sectors towards more sustainable benefits. The research demonstrates the possibility of applying and adapting knowledge from supply chain models to develop a model of global supply chain management supported by computerized tools designed from the perspective of suppliers. The modeling and planning of the coffee export chain in Peru illustrates this potential. The paper proposes the integration of two knowledge areas, international trade and supply chain management, to form a new field of interest. Knowledge in both areas is solid, but its integration across the two fields is not. Although there are several studies on this topic, very little has been achieved in terms of the creation of a reference model and even less in terms of the development of computerized support for adequate strategic and tactical planning.

Authors: Okot Tom , Campos Guilcrits Mariana , Monge Navarro Enrique
Published: May 2021

The main objective of this investigation is to describe the current landscape of Industry 4.0 in Costa Rica. Industry 4.0 is a combination of technologies, such as robotics, big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI). Latin America has mostly focused on the development of IoT technology. Costa Rica ranks second in terms of IoT implementation, with a strong focus on environmentally sustainable innovations.

New technologies emerge daily, and the IoT is among these technologies. Thus, after comparing Costa Rica with other countries and regions, there are several areas of opportunity to upscale these revolutionary technologies beyond the IoT. The government of Costa Rica and local businesses should work on a joint roadmap to upskill the population on using these technologies. Additionally, this research provides resources and opportunities for experimentation through design thinking, allowing more innovation creation based on trial and error to find the best solutions to implement to add value.
Product placement as an efficient marketing tool within the media mix
Authors: Martín García Alicia
Published: May 2021

Product placement has existed in its most primitive form since the dawn of cinema. Now, due to the saturation of conventional advertising, this technique has reached its zenith, with brands appearing in an environment without competition, as a natural element of the plot. The automotive sector has been present from the beginning and soon understood the expressive possibilities that were offered. General Motors began its journey in the film industry in 1933 following an agreement with Warner. Since then, the General Motors group has had a growing presence in the film industry, which reached its peak in Transformers (2007), an unprecedented type of product placement. It is possible to identify a clear cause-effect relationship in the company’s sales, with product placement being an efficient marketing tool within the media mix, as we will show throughout this investigation. The study begins with a historical review of brand placement in North American cinema (1933-2014), then proceeds with a content analysis, following the methodology proposed by Méndiz (2001), of advertising placement in film and a structured interview with Norm Marshall, the director and founding partner of Norm Marshall & Associates, responsible for GM’s product placements.
New Corporate Coordinates
Authors: Vargas Portillo Patricia
Published: May 2021

One of the keys to the intangible value of companies lies in having a good reputation. Reputation is projected in the traditional or physical world but also emerges strongly in the virtual space. In fact, the importance of reputation has led to the creation of tools to quantify and, if necessary, monitor it. There are decisions that can have a significant impact on it, for example, the integration of self-discipline systems that, depending on the circumstances in each case, may lead to a substantial improvement in virtual reputation. However, these systems can also have a negative impact on it, undermining the levels initially achieved.

Batteries play a vital role in Electrical Vehicles (EV). In a battery pack, voltage differences always exist due to charging and discharging cycles. It leads to an imbalance in the State of Charge (SoC) of Li-Ion battery packs. State of charge is the level of charge of an electric battery relative to its capacity. The voltage imbalances lead to the degradation of the cells by reducing their life span and usage time. Thus, a balancing circuit is necessary to maintain the same voltage level in all the cells. Also, a reconfiguration of the battery cells depending on their SoC levels and the requirement of the load can increase the usage time and life span of a battery pack. In this paper, a circuit for reconfiguration and active equalization is proposed based on a coupled inductor and switch network which can dynamically transfer charge from the cells with higher voltage to the ones with lower voltage while simultaneously delivering the load. Thus, the SoC of the cells can be balanced with an advantage of the coupled inductor ensuring faster equalization time than other balancing techniques.

EKİPMAN ETKİNLİĞİNE FARKLI BİR YAKLAŞIM: GENEL OPERASYON ETKİNLİĞİ
Authors: ÇELİK Hakan
Published: May 2021

Makine ve ekipmanların etkinlik düzeylerini hesaplamada en önemli unsur, performans göstergelerinin kısıtlarıdır. OEE (Toplam Ekipman Etkinliği), makine ve ekipmanların etkinlik düzeyini belirlemede kullanılan en yaygın performans göstergesidir. OEE değeri, kullanılabilirlik, performans ve kalite oranlarına bağlı olarak hesaplanmaktadır.

Kullanılabilirlik değeri, brüt çalışma süresi yerine planlanan üretim süresi üzerinden, gerçekleşen üretim süresini hesaplamaktadır. Brüt üretim süresi ile planlanan üretim süresi arasındaki fark, planlı duruş süresi olarak tanımlanmaktadır ve hesaplamaya katılmamaktadır. Bu durum, bir yılın sonunda önemli duruş süresine sebep olan unsurların değerlendirilmemesine ve gerçek etkinlik düzeyinin hesaplanamamasına neden olmaktadır. Ayrıca, bu duruşlar planlı olarak değerlendirildiğinden olağan kabul edilmektedir ve çoğu zaman iyileştirilmesi düşünülmemektedir.

Çalışmanın amacı, planlı duruş süresinin önemini vurgulayarak ekipman etkinliğinin hesaplanmasına yönelik alternatif yaklaşım belirlemektir. Bu doğrultuda, OEE’ye alternatif olarak OOE (Genel Operasyon Etkinliği) tanımlanmıştır. OOE, kullanılabilir süre kavramını vardiya süresi üzerinden değerlendiren ve herhangi bir sebeple kaynaklanan duruşu etkinlik kaybı olarak değerlendiren performans anahtarıdır. OEE ile OOE arasındaki farkın açıklanabilmesi için, bir vasıflı çelik işletmesinde üretim hattının bir yıllık verilerine dayalı hesaplama gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, OOE ile hesaplanan etkinlik düzeyi % 6,17 düşük hesaplanmış ve OEE’nin gerçek tesis etkinliğini yüksek gösterdiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Introdução: Na atualidade, a hidratação cutânea é fundamental para a manutenção da aparência jovem, saudável e viçosa das mulheres. O processo de hidratação dos tecidos é executado pelas funções do nosso próprio organismo, juntamente com a água ingerida. A água é responsável por promover a hidratação da pele através das camadas inferiores – da derme para epiderme – sendo transportadas através dos queratinócitos pelos canais proteicos. Estes canais responsáveis pelo transporte de água pelas camadas da pele são conhecidos como aquaporinas 3, que se trata de uma proteína, estando presente na membrana plasmática dos queratinócitos. Objetivo: Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre os benefícios das Aquaporinas 3 aplicadas a cosmetologia em região de face de mulheres. Método: Para tal objetivo, foi elaborado um estudo com base em artigos científicos, a partir de 2010, com bases de dados eletrônicos PubMed e Google Acadêmico, onde foram consultados artigos originais e de revisão sobre o tema Aquaporinas. Resultados: A partir da revisão realizada verificou-se que a descoberta dos canais de aquaporinas 3 trouxe importantes contribuições para compreender os mecanismos envolvidos na hidratação da pele, proporcionado um aspecto saudável através da passagem de água mediada por esses poros. Evidenciou-se, também, que houve um grande avanço tecnológico, existindo a necessidade de desenvolver princípios ativos que atuam na manutenção destes canais aumentando a expressão e as atividades das aquaporinas 3 na membrana celular, restaurando a hidratação da pele e revitalizando-a.  Conclusão: Observou-se que as aquaporinas 3 contribuem de maneira significativa para a hidratação da pele, porém se faz-se necessário o uso de ativos que favorecem seu aparecimento nas células cutâneas, melhorando a hidratação devido o envelhecimento cutâneo.
Senior high school students’ usage of time and its impact on their academic achievement in Northern Ghana
Authors: Yidana Peter
Published: May 2021

Research studies have investigated the influence of institutional characteristics on student academic achievement. However, relatively little research focuses on time utilisation and its impact on student academic achievement. The current study investigated students’ utilisation of time in public senior high schools in the Northern Region of Ghana. The study aimed to determine how students utilisation of time on self-study, group study, religious activities, and classroom instructional activities predicted their academic achievements. A total of 500 students sampled from 7 public senior high schools in the Northern Region of Ghana participated in the study. The research design employed was the cross-sectional survey research design. The instrument used to collect the data was a questionnaire. Analysis was done using multiple regression analysis with the aid of the SPSS (Version 16) software. The results suggest that the time students spent attending classes positively and significantly influences their academic achievement. Class attendance, group studies and self-studies times were found to be positively related. The study recommends that students group study and self-study activities should be made compulsory and that adequate time should be allotted within study hours for students to engage in meaningful self-study and group study activities.

Social Media and The COVID-19 Response: A Case Study of Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) in New Zealand
Authors: Ali Zarqa Shaheen , Liu Wen Jiao
Published: May 2021

COVID-19 pandemic is spreading across the globe, causing huge losses to humans and changing people’s lifestyles. New Zealand has also suffered from this fatal virus outbreak. Social media has been used by governments from many countries for communication about COVID-19, but the research on social media used in COVID-19 remains limited. This research aims to study how the leading New Zealand business agency, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), used Facebook to disseminate COVID-19, and how businesses and the public benefitted from it. Facebook posts from MBIE published over two months from March 18, 2020, to May 12, 2020, as well as user reviews were collected and thematically analysed. Before the research was conducted, an Official Information Act request was submitted to MBIE and an approval confirmation was received for using any publicly available information released by MBIE. The findings indicate Facebook was used by MBIE as a comprehensive channel to address COVID-19, as well as being an avenue to interact with businesses and people, and businesses and people benefitted from it in multiple aspects.

The Effect of Real Effective Exchange Rate Changes on China’s Import Trade Structure
Authors: Yang Grant G. L. , Li Amy
Published: May 2021

The real effective exchange rate (REER) has a double effect on the value of imports. The appreciation of the real effective exchange rate directly reduces the price of imports and expands the quantity of imports, but the increase in the quantity of imports will stimulate the rise of import prices and indirectly restrain the quantity of imports. Using ADF unit root test, cointegration analysis and Granger’s causality test, this paper empirically studies the relationship between the real effective exchange rate of RMB and the consumption trade imports, total trade imports and import trade structure from 1997 to 2019. The conclusion shows that the appreciation of the real effective exchange rate of RMB will reduce the total trade imports and increase the proportion of consumption trade imports, but the effect of that on consumption trade imports is not clear. Results of this study provide evidence that the price effect of RMB’s real effective exchange rate is greater than the income effect of GDP growth. The price elasticity is 0.96 times the income elasticity for consumption trade imports, 2.45 for total trade imports, and 15.24 times for import trade structure.
The Objectification of Miranda in The Collector
Authors: Chang Hong
Published: May 2021

The objectification of women is the crime impossible to obliterate committed by the patriarchal society. It is essentially the denial of human equality. The Collector of John Fowles presents a tragedy of human nature, in which the interweavement of explicit and implicit objectifications reduces women to an inhuman condition and deprives them of life and freedom. This novel implies strong awareness of social criticism and bears realistic significance.
Deconstruction of Traditional “Equivalence” in the Translation of Chinese Classics
Authors: He Yong-Mei
Published: May 2021

Most traditional translation theories advocated that translation should strive to achieve “equivalence” between the target text and the original text. Deconstructive translation theory points out that the purpose of translation is not to seek common ground, but to preserve differences. Therefore, translation should try to reflect the differences between languages. This paper is intended to combine deconstruction theory of translation with linguistic theory in the translation of Chinese Classics. It analyzes the problems in the traditional translation theory in the translation of Chinese Classics from the perspective of seeking “equivalence” and tries to give some possible solution to the problems.
Universidad creativa: narrativas, interdisciplinariedad e interacciones en el aprendizaje
Authors:   CUA - Medellín, Sepúlveda Jovanny
Published: May 2021

¿Por qué es necesario discutir sobre la universidad y la creatividad? Hablar de universidad creativa implica posicionarse en un lugar del conocimiento que desmonte los paradigmas establecidos. La universidad como la hemos entendido tiene un fuerte afianzamiento en las posiciones racionalistas que la instituyeron como logro de la civilidad y del pensamiento científico; así, la universidad como estamento de educación se ha reconocido como receptáculo de conocimientos transmisibles que, bajo el imperio de un deber ser, marcado por concepciones eminentemente objetivas, ha dejado de lado la comprensión de la creatividad como factor transversal de todo acto de conocer. Así las cosas, hablar de universidad creativa implica reformular las bases epistemológicas de lo establecido, para entender que todo proceso educativo inicia en las subjetividades y se construye mediante las intersubjetividades. En esta órbita, la universidad no será urna de conocimientos especializados y compartimentados, sino, en cambio, escenario de aprendizaje de la complejidad, de la condición humana y del reconocimiento, en tanto reunión de narrativas diversas de todos los actores que conforman la praxis académica. En este sentido, la compilación de prácticas narrativas y de investigación que en adelante se expone, forma parte de una iniciativa del Laboratorio de Narrativas de la Corporación Universitaria Americana, para dar un viraje en las prácticas convencionales y reconocer el acto dialéctico de la educación, el cual debe cimentarse en la estesis; esto es, en el convencimiento de que es la sensibilidad del sujeto, en relación con el ambiente y las otras subjetividades, el punto de partida para la formación integral de los estudiantes y para la reformulación de los criterios tradicionales del deber ser docente. Las prácticas narrativas en el interior de los procesos universitarios permiten avizorar una universidad creativa, creadora, que se vuelca sobre su entorno para comprenderse, no como un todo aislado, si no como una parte que nace y alimenta la totalidad del tejido social.
No-­Billag-­Initiative –ein Lausbubenstreich?
Authors: Saxer Urs
Published: May 2021

Ein Journalist, der sich als Flüchtling ausgab, um verdeckt über Zustände in einer Empfangssta-tion für Asylbewerber zu recherchieren, blieb kürzlich trotz Verstosses gegen eine Strafnorm wegen Wahrung be-rechtigter Interessen straflos. In einem früheren vergleichbaren Fall hat das Bundesgericht mit einer problematischen Begründung gegenteilig entschieden. Der Beitrag befasst sich mit den Gründen, die dazu führen, dass Regelungen, die es im Einzelfall ermöglichen, von einer Bestrafung abzusehen, ziemlich selten zur Anwendung gelangen und un-einheitliche Entscheidungen begünstigen. Gefragt wird ferner, ob der Rechtfertigungsgrund der Wahrung berechtig-ter Interessen stärker aktiviert werden könnte.
Die Vorratsdatenspeicherung führt zu einer weiteren Gefährdung des journalistischen Quellenschutzes
Authors: Reinle Michael
Published: May 2021

In seinem Urteil vom 2. März 2018 unterscheidet das Bundesgericht zwischen der Speicherung der Kommunikationsranddaten durch die Telekommunikationsdienstleister und der Weitergabe und Bearbeitung dieser Daten durch die Strafverfolgungsbehörden. Diese Aufteilung überzeugt den Kommentator des Entscheids nicht. Die beiden Phasen liessen sich nicht einfach trennen. Durch die Vorratsdatenspeicherung würden die Tele-kommunikationsdienstleister gesetzlich zu Hilfspolizisten, was rechtsstaatlich umso problematischer sei, als die Te-lekommunikationsdaten anlasslos von jedem Bürger gespeichert werden. Die Vorratsdatenspeicherung führe auch zu einer weiteren Gefährdung des journalistischen Quellenschutzes. Die Masse der mit der Vorratsdatenspeicherung gespeicherten Daten könne die Identifikation von Quellen erleichtern.
Abschuss von zivilen Drohnen unter dem Aspekt des Persönlichkeitsschutzes
Authors: Sebastian Kaufmann Jascha Schneider-Marfels und
Published: May 2021

Zivile Drohnen sind im Trend. Hobbypiloten, Privatdetektive und Paparazzi verwenden sie, um Gebiete und Personen zu überwachen bzw. auszuspähen. Die h.L. gelangt zum Schluss, dass in solchen Fällen bei der Abwehr Zurückhaltung geboten erscheint. Dieser Auffassung folgen die Autoren nicht, insbesondere wenn die Droh-nen als Angriff auf die Persönlichkeit zu qualifizieren sind. In solchen Fällen ist von einem unmittelbaren, rechtswidri-gen Angriff auf die Persönlichkeit auszugehen, weshalb sich der Betroffene in einer Notwehrlage befindet. Das Einfan-gen oder Abschiessen einer Drohne erscheint einer solchen Situation gerechtfertigt, weil die Abwehr eines Angriffs auf die Persönlichkeitsrechte eines Menschen mittels Sachbeschädigung oder Zerstörung von Eigentum angemessen und alles andere als missbräuchlich erscheint. Der Drohnenpilot, der widerrechtlich in fremde Sphären eindringt, muss hiermit rechnen und trägt das entsprechende Risiko.
Diffamationen focus de la jurisprudence fédérale
Authors: Mazou Miriam
Published: May 2021

LeTribunal fédéral suisse a estimé que la possession d’ordinateurs utilisés pour administrer des serveurs d’un site internet destiné à critiquer une personne déterminée et contenant des propos diffamatoires fait du possesseur de ces ordinateurs un coauteur de diffamation. De même, notre Haute Cour a jugé que donner son feu vert à l’envoi d’une lettre ouverte diffamatoire, fait de l’intéressé un auteur de l’infraction de diffamation. Les juges de Mont-Repos se sont encore prononcés en faveur de l’ouverture d’une enquête pénale contre l’auteur de propos, diffusés à la radio, faisant apparaître quelqu’un comme un être belliqueux. En matière procédurale, le Tribunal fédéral a estimé que l’ex-position médiatique, dans la presse locale, d’un prévenu par la suite acquitté ne donne pas droit à une indemnisation particulière. Enfin, les juges fédéraux ont souligné que les enquêteurs suisses peuvent effectuer des recherches en ligne sur Facebook. La Cour européenne des droits de l’hommes a quant à elle jugé que la condamnation d’un journa-liste pour violation du secret de fonction ne viole pas la liberté d’expression.
Die Anforderungen an den Ausschluss der Öffentlichkeit sind streng
Authors: Saxer Urs
Published: May 2021

Der Beschluss der Beschwerdekammer des Bundesstrafgerichts (BK 2019.12) macht zu Recht deutlich, dass die Öffentlichkeit der Verhandlung die Regel, der Ausschluss der Öffentlichkeit dagegen die Ausnahme darstellt und es im Licht der involvierten Interessen geboten sein kann, zum Schutz bestimmter Interessen wohl die Öffentlichkeit auszuschliessen, nicht aber die am Gericht akkreditierten Medienschaffenden. Die Beschwerdekammer befand, dass auch das Beschleunigungsgebot im vorliegenden Fall keine Beschränkung der Medienfreiheit rechtfertigen konnte, u.a. da der Beschuldigte nicht in Untersuchungshaft sass.
