Objectives: This study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities of sustainability within the sharing economy (SE) model in the post-pandemic Latin American business landscape. It focuses on identifying how companies adopting sustainable practices can contribute to the region’s sustainable development. Methodology: Following the PRISMA reporting guidelines, a systematic literature review was conducted to uncover the current state of research at the intersection of SE and sustainable development in Latin America. This approach highlighted the scarcity of focused studies and set the groundwork for further empirical research. Results: The findings reveal a significant gap in the literature regarding SE entrepreneurship’s role in sustainable development in Latin America. Despite the challenges related to informality and uncertainty, enterprises prioritizing sustainable practices within the SE model show strong potential for impactful growth. The proposed growth model emphasizes the synergy between sustainable thinking and Industry 4.0, fostering resource efficiency and competitive advantage. Originality/Value: This study makes a unique contribution by focusing on the underexplored area of SE and sustainability in Latin America, presenting a novel growth model that integrates Industry 4.0 with sustainability principles. Practical Implications: The findings suggest that adopting sustainable SE models can assist Latin American entrepreneurs and businesses in overcoming post-pandemic challenges while aligning with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12, leading to more resilient business models. Social Implications: This study underscores the potential positive social impact of adopting sustainable SE models in Latin America by promoting a more inclusive and collaborative economy to drive regional sustainable development.

Strategic Lessons in Corporate Governance from the Inca Empire

2025-04-23T09:47:45-05:00

One of the most powerful cultural influences in the past 500 years in South America has been the legacy of the Inca Empire. Many of the management techniques, business ideologies, and organizational systems that thrive today in South America, particularly in the Andean region that stretches from Colombia to Chile, have strong undertones of the prevalent indigenous values that dominated during the reign of the Incas. In this paper core managerial principles of the Incas are identified and explored based on an examination of the guiding organizational ideology that led this civilization to its zenith of greatness just prior to the arrival of Europeans to the Americas. The state of these values in organizational thinking today in Andean South America is assessed, examined, and discussed. Implications for the relevance of Inca principles to foreign firms, thus those not based in Andean South America, are also discussed and future research directions are identified.

This study offers a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the academic literature on the wine industry, aiming to identify key research streams, emerging trends, core topics, and potential avenues for future investigation. It provides a structured and in-depth overview of the current state of research in this field, laying the groundwork for future scholarly contributions. Methodology: The analysis combines co-authorship network exploration and keyword co-occurrence mapping using VOSviewer software, based on literature published between 2000 and 2022. It identifies the most prolific journals, articles, authors, and countries, while also mapping the thematic structure of research collaborations. Results: The findings indicate that recent research focuses primarily on wine industry performance, innovation, quality, knowledge management, and collaborative networks. Future research directions, inferred from articles with low co-occurrence rates and early access publications, highlight topics such as sustainability, entrepreneurship, female leadership, and alternative business models (e.g., cooperatives). Originality: Despite the growing interest in the wine sector, there remains a lack of focused studies addressing the areas of Management, Strategy, and Economics. This paper contributes to filling that gap by offering a comprehensive understanding of these dimensions and identifying underexplored opportunities that may guide future research agendas.

Factors that Influence Student Satisfaction in a Hybrid Higher Education Context: The Mediating Effect of Student Experience

2025-04-23T09:42:17-05:00

Objective: To determine the effect of teacher technological and pedagogical knowledge perception (TPK) and perceived usefulness and ease of use of the technological tool (PUEU) on student´s experience (EX) and student´s satisfaction (LS) in hybrid learning in higher education, using the TAM and TPACK models. Methodology: The study, with a positivist perspective and quantitative approach, employed Partial Least Squares Method Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Survey data from 179 higher education students were analyzed using Smart PLS 4. Results: TPK and PUEU significantly impacted EX (H1 and H2). EX positively influenced LS (H3), and TPK was found not to impact LS directly (H4) but through EX (H6). PUEU had a significant impact on LS (H5), and the mediating effect of EX between PUEU and LS was confirmed (H7). Originality/value: This study addresses the influence of PUEU and TPK on EX. As well as the mediating effect of EX on the relationships between PUEU and LS and TPK and LS. Practical implications: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted new modes of higher education in the world, such as hybrid education. The results are relevant for designing hybrid education programs that consider factors that enhance student´s experience and satisfaction.

Objectives: The primary objective of this research is to explore the impact of sustainable leadership (SL) and knowledge leadership (KoL) on sustainable performance (SP) within the hotel industry. Specifically, the study examines how these leadership styles influence the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs) and green capabilities (GC). Methodology/Design: A quantitative methodology was employed, using a meticulously designed questionnaire to collect data from 323 hotel proprietors in Peru. Data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), allowing for the simultaneous examination of measurement and structural components to validate the proposed hypotheses. Results: The findings reveal that SL positively influences SP and significantly impacts the achievement of SDGs. Similarly, KoL significantly impacts SDGs. However, GC did not significantly mediate the relationship between SL and SP or KoL and SP. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by highlighting the critical role of SL and KoL in enhancing hotel performance through sustainability initiatives. It underscores the importance of integrating sustainability into leadership strategies to achieve outstanding performance outcomes. Practical Implications: The research provides practical insights for hotel managers in Peru, emphasizing the need to adopt leadership styles that prioritize sustainability. By aligning strategic objectives with SDGs, hotels can enhance their performance and gain a competitive advantage. It also suggests that, while governance compliance is important, it should be complemented with proactive leadership initiatives to drive meaningful performance improvements.
