Shaping subjects of globalisation: at the intersection of voluntourism and the new economy
2016
Volunteer tourism is one of the latest branches of the ever expanding globalised tourism. The initiative Workaway, an expression of this trend, was established in the late 90s with the aim of promoting “cultural understanding between different peoples and lands throughout the world”. The figure of the workawayer as a new cosmopolitan subjectivity started to take shape. With the growth of the tourism industry, the Workaway scheme has started to be of interest also to tourism entrepreneurs, especially in the global peripheries such as northern Lapland, home to the indigenous minority language community of the Sámi. By signing up as a volunteer in a heritage tourism resort, the workawayer, the…
Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Sports Entrepreneurship
2020
Sports entrepreneurship has been considered an important part of sports organisations when overcoming crisis situations. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of the crisis derived from COVID-19 on sports entrepreneurship and whether there are differences in the prediction of entrepreneurship on service quality in non-profit sports clubs. To this end, 145 sports clubs were analysed before and after the outbreak of the virus in society. Paired sample-t tests were carried out to determine the differences in variables studied before (Time I) and after (Time II) the COVID-19 outbreak, and correlations and hierarchical linear regressions were used to analyse the relationship between t…
Animació i motivació per a l'autoocupació: l'esperit emprenedor a l'escola
2012
El sistema educatiu pot contribuir enormement a l'impuls de l'esperit emprenedor, a la creació d'una cultura emprenedora tot començant pels més joves i a l'escola. Perquè impulsant les actituds i les capacitats emprenedores es beneficia la societat, fins i tot més enllà de l'aplicació d'aquestes capacitats a noves iniciatives empresarials. En un sentit més ampli, l'esperit emprenedor s'hauria de considerar com una actitud general que pot resultar útil en totes les activitats laborals i en la vida quotidiana. Qualsevol pot necessitar, i de fet necessitarà en algun moment de la vida, convertir-se en empresari o adoptar un comportament empresarial. Per tant, entre els objectius de l'educació, …

Using Crowdsourcing to Overcome Barriers to Women Entrepreneurship
2015
This chapter presents crowdsourcing as a novel way of overcoming barriers facing women entrepreneurs, offering alternatives to conventional solutions. The study analyzes three barriers to women entrepreneurship: access to financing, access to specific management knowledge, and access to information and communication technologies (ICTs). For each barrier, a different form of crowdsourcing is proposed: crowdfunding, crowd wisdom, and crowdfunded media, respectively. Using these crowdsourcing tools, women entrepreneurs can overcome major difficulties when starting businesses.

2015
AbstractDuring the last few years, entrepreneurship has gained an important role in many economic and social policies, with the consequent growth of entrepreneurial research in many social areas. However, in the Spanish psychometric context, there is not an updated scale including recent contributions to entrepreneurship attitudes literature.

Data comes from a cross-sectional survey of 524 high school and undergraduate students, from Valencia (Spain). Tw…

The origin of strong ties: the role of weak ties in the evolution of alliance networks
2017
Studies on the structure of alliance networks have explained how the formation, maintenance, and decay of local within cluster ties and shortcuts with semi-distant and distant organizations drive the emergence and evolution of small world architecture in such networks. Interorganizational ties are distinguished into strong and weak on the basis of their strength. Nonetheless, by focusing mainly on strong alliances ties, previous research has fallen short to explain the role of weak ties among organizations for the evolution of alliance networks. With the aim of scrutinizing the role of weak ties in the establishment, maintaining, and transforming of alliance ties, we develop a conceptual fr…
A future of journalism beyond the objectivity-dialogue divide? : Hybridity in the news of entrepreneurial journalists
2019
As pioneers of new ideas and practices, many entrepreneurial journalists spearhead the change of journalism towards hybridity. By applying appraisal theory, this article examines a hybrid of objectivity and dialogue in daily news articles by five entrepreneurial journalism outlets – Axios, MustRead, National Observer, The Skimm and the Voice of San Diego. For comparative purposes, a dataset from three legacy media outlets was also analysed. The results show that the entrepreneurial journalism outlets employ journalistic dialogue in otherwise stylistically objective news texts notably more often than do legacy media outlets. Dialogic registers provide subtle, non-partisan assessments of eve…
