Sustainable Business Models Innovation and Design Thinking: A Bibliometric Analysis and Systematic Review of Literature

Leer artículo

 

 

The process of integrating sustainability into businesses and processes is still recent, both in startups, small and medium-sized companies and even multinationals. Sustainable business models became a phenomenon of global interest and Design Thinking has been increasingly used as a strategy to support this process. In this context, the aim of this article is to improve the understanding of how Design Thinking (DT) and its set of tools and methods contribute to the creation and innovation of sustainable business models (SBM). The analysis of frameworks indicates that the main methodologies linking Design Thinking and Sustainable Business Models are Workshops, Brainstorming, Co-creation and Prototyping. Also, approaches such as Circular Economy, Business Models and Product-Service System models are emerging as a means of enabling the collaborative consumption of products and services and with positive results for sustainable business. The analysis of the articles reveals that user-oriented innovation and analysis of stakeholder needs is present in practically all evaluated frames, but prototyping and experimentation represent a gap that should be better explored in the frameworks.

Structural and longitudinal analysis on dynamic capacities in publicity agencies and social media

Leer artículo

 

 

Objective: In this study, we aim to analyze the scientific production of publications on dynamic capacities in advertising agencies and social media. Methodology/approach: The methodology used was a systematic review of the literature. The period used was articles published between 2008 and 2017. In total, 244 articles were analyzed which were enumerated and quantified about the main authors, journals, databases and year of publication. Originality/Relevance: This integrative literature review of the dynamic capabilities adds to the categorization of the RBV literature as it relates dynamic capabilities to social media research and advertising agencies, providing favorable guidance for future research. The theoretical gap in the literature on the subject is surprising because it is surprising that advertising activity, which is anchored in knowledge and creativity, is not a field explored by investigations in the area of Resource-Based View (RBV). Key Findings: The findings point to a trend toward qualitative publications focusing on social media and big data, few investigations focusing on advertising agencies, and a wide range of studies related to dynamic capabilities with performance and innovation themes. Theoretical/Methodological Contributions: There is a need for further investigation into the creative industry, its resources, and capabilities, especially the rise of social media. Social/Management Contributions: Managers, marketers, and communications professionals should focus their efforts on big data analytics (BDA) which is a rich source of consumer information at their touchpoints

Decoding the Trends and the Emerging Research Directions of Digital Tourism in the Last Three Decades: A Bibliometric Analysis

Leer artículo

 

 

Digital technologies have radically changed the tourism industry and gaining a lot of attention from the stakeholders. At present, there is voluminous but fragmented research to cover the various aspects of digital tourism, but a consolidated “big picture” of the extant research is missing. By performing a bibliometric analysis of 827 papers on digital tourism, an attempt has been made to fill this void. The investigation revealed that the management of smart destinations, the internet as a communication and marketing channel, technology and sustainability, and consumer behavior are emerging research directions in digital tourism. Observations regarding little scientific interest and collaborations in regions like Russia and Africa present an opportunity for researchers and businesses to set directions and strategies for the future.

Innovation management in small and medium enterprises: A bibliometric analysis approach between 1985 and 2019

Leer artículo

 

 

Many changes have come over the business with the onset of globalization and the digitization of the economy, including the last two years. In addition, relevant changes have been caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating the relevance of innovation management (IM) within organizations as a process to face these new realities. This article aims to present the main contributions on innovation management in small- and medium-sized enterprises (IM in SMEs). To determine the state-of-the-art innovation techniques, the study systematically reviews articles related to this subject using a bibliometric study approach between 1985 and 2019 using the Web of Science (WoS) database. The study analyzes and presents the most cited articles, the main authors, institutions, countries, and the most productive journals. Additionally, VOSviewer was used to provide a more in-depth analysis of the data obtained from the search. Among the main results, it is clear that the most productive universities and the most influential and productive authors are in the United States, leaving a relevant possibility of taking this analysis to different countries, mainly developing countries, to adjust adequate innovation processes according to the specific realities of each country.

Cultural tourism: bibliometric and social network analysis of Brazilian tourism field, 1990‑2018

Leer artículo

 

 

We present a bibliometric and social network analysis of the Brazilian field of tourism, taken as the articles of 16 Brazilian tourism journals. Utilizing keywords, we describe and evaluate its trajectory (1990‑2018), with focus on the cultural tourism cluster. We study the authorship (authors, institutions and geographic distribution), journals (dispersal of publication), impact and intellectual structure of the cluster. It is clearly delimited, and includes “expected” keywords that orbit around cultural tourism, culture and heritage. Authorship is relatively fragmented; there is an overrepresentation of the Northeast Region of Brazil. In the references, there is a distinct social sciences orientation; there are relatively few authors and texts concerned with cultural tourism as a market segment. Margarita Barretto’s dominance and centrality in the intellectual structure is clear. Concerning the impact, the cluster has an average of actual citations per article just below that verified for the field.

COVID-19 in Business, Management, and Economics: Research Perspectives and Bibliometric Analysis

Leer artículo

 

 

This document aims to analyze co-citations with computational tools to identify the research perspectives related to COVID-19 in the areas of business, management, and economy. In addition, a bibliometric analysis is carried out that includes annual productivity, the most relevant authors, countries and institutions, the most cited documents, collaboration networks, and co-authorship. Information obtained from the Web of Science database found 4,347 documents published between the years 2020 and 2021 that were scientifically mapped in this field. An analysis of the research perspectives was carried out. The perspectives were determined through an analysis of co-citations from the application of a clustering algorithm using Gephi. In addition, tools such as Bibliometrix and VOSviewer were used for the development of bibliometric analysis. Through open-access tools, five perspectives related to the impact of COVID-19 on business, management, and economics were found. The first analyzes the effects on financial markets; the second presents the effects on tourism and consumer behavior; the third indicates the socio-economic effects of applying policies; the fourth presents the environmental and public health impacts; and the fifth shows the impacts on gender.

The Wine Effects in Tourism Studies: Mapping the Research Referents

Leer artículo

 

 

This research provides an empirical overview of articles and authors referring to research on wine tourism, analyzed from 2000 to 2021, and what they contribute to deepening the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 8. The articles were examined through a bibliometric approach based on data from 199 records stored in the Web of Science (JCR), applying traditional bibliometric laws, and using VOSviewer for data processing and metadata. The results highlight an exponential increase in scientific production without interruptions between 2005 and 2020, with a concentration in only 35 highly cited authors, where the hegemony is held by Australia, among the co-authorship networks of worldwide relevance. The main topics observed in the literature are local development through wine tourism, sustainability and nature conservation, and strategies for sustainable development. Finally, there are six articles with great worldwide influence in wine tourism studies that maintain in their entirety the contribution made by researchers affiliated with Australian universities.

What are the real environmental impacts of Antarctic tourism? Unveiling their importance through a comprehensive meta-analysis

Leer artículo

 

 

Human activities in Antarctica were increasing before the COVID-19 pandemic, and tourism was not an exception. The growth and diversification of Antarctic tourism over the last few decades have been extensively studied. However, environmental impacts associated with this activity have received less attention despite an increasing body of scholarship examining environmental issues related to Antarctic tourism. Aside from raising important research questions, the potential negative effects of tourist visits in Antarctica are also an issue discussed by Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties. This study presents the results of a meta-analysis of scholarly publications that synthesizes and updates our current knowledge of environmental impacts resulting from Antarctic tourism. A first publication database containing 233 records that focussed on this topic was compiled and subjected to a general bibliometric and content analysis. Further, an in-depth content analysis was performed on a subset of 75 records, which were focussed on showing specific research on Antarctic tourism impacts. The main topic, methods, management proposals, and research gaps highlighted by the respective authors of these 75 publications were assessed. The range of research topics addressed, the methods used – including the application of established research designs from the field of environmental impact assessment –, and the conclusions reached by the study authors are discussed. Interestingly, almost one third of the studies did not detect a direct relationship between tourism and significant negative effects on the environment. Cumulative impacts of tourism have received little attention, and long-term and comprehensive monitoring programs have been discussed only rarely, leading us to assume that such long-term programs are scarce. More importantly, connections between research and policy or management do not always exist. This analysis highlights the need for a comprehensive strategy to investigate and monitor the environmental impacts of tourism in Antarctica. A first specific research and monitoring programme to stimulate a debate among members of the Antarctic scientific and policy communities is proposed, with the ultimate goal of advancing the regulation and management of Antarctic tourism collaboratively.

A Bibliometric Analysis of the Scientific Research on Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining

Leer artículo

 

 

Mineral resource exploitation is one of the activities that contribute to economic growth and the development of society. Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) is one of these activities. Unfortunately, there is no clear consensus to define ASM. However, its importance is relevant in that it represents, in some cases, the only employment alternative for millions of people, although it also significantly impacts the environment. This work aims to investigate the scientific information related to ASM through a bibliometric analysis and, in addition, to define the new lines that are tending to this field. The study comprises three phases of work: (i) data collection, (ii) data processing and software selection, and (iii) data interpretation. The results reflect that the study on ASM developed intensively from 2010 to the present. In general terms, the research addressed focuses on four interrelated lines: (i) social conditioning factors of ASM, (ii) environmental impacts generated by ASM, (iii) mercury contamination and its implication on health and the environment, and (iv) ASM as a livelihood. The work also defines that geotourism in artisanal mining areas is a significant trend of the last decade, explicitly focusing on the conservation and use of the geological and mining heritage and, in addition, the promotion of sustainable development of ASM.
