PurposeA literature gap has triggered a discussion on the influence of relational pluralism in the adoption of new practices of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Based on this literature, this paper aims to understand how relational pluralism influences small companies in the development of their collective CSR strategies.Design/methodology/approachThis study used the case of a Brazilian hotel network called Charm Routes, which comprises 66 members. The study adopted a qualitative approach based on qualitative comparative analysis (QCA).FindingsThe results show that relational pluralism influences small companies in their collective CSR strategies. This is especially because of the relationships among different actors within the network.Research limitations/implicationsQCA does not explain the correlation between variables, but rather the logical relations among them. The adoption of multivariate techniques is suggested for future studies to evaluate the correlations among the variables and not only the possible causal conditions.Practical implicationsThe results bring added clarity to the collective CSR strategies of networks composed of small companies.Social implicationsThe findings may be of use to networks of small companies working collectively to develop initiatives aimed at providing social and environmental benefits.Originality/valueInstead of a framework, the study generated the expression RPN*(INT+LON) → CSR_CS. This means that relational pluralism within the network, enhanced by the intensity and the longevity of the relationship, influences small companies in the development of their collective CSR strategies.
In studies on tourism and hospitality, the sustainable aspect has been continuously treated. A current approach that expands the concept of sustainability is the circular economy, considered a closed economic model that aims to maintain the most significant utility and value of products, components, and materials at all times. This issue has been addressed not only in the productive sphere but also in the area of services. In this sense, the objective of this research was to understand how the circular economy is being treated in the tourism and hospitality sectors. A review of published articles accessed across four databases—Spell, CAPES Portal, SciELO, and Web of Science—was carried out. The main results indicate that studies in this area are still incipient, with a greater number of publications starting in 2019; European studies prevail; the publications are still theoretical, with little empirical research; and address the benefits of the circular economy, and the economic, social, and environmental aspects.
A EDUCAÇÃO A DISTÂNCIA (EAD) VEIO AO ENCONTRO DE TODAS AS NECESSIDADES EMERGENTES DESTE NOVO MUNDO QUE CONTEMPLA O AVANÇO DAS TECNOLOGIAS, A VELOCIDADE DAS INFORMAÇÕES E A ROTINA CADA VEZ MAIS INTENSA. COM ISSO, SURGE O PERFIL DE UM NOVO ALUNO, NO QUAL DEMANDA NOVAS METODOLOGIAS, NOVAS FERRAMENTAS E NOVAS TEORIAS DE APRENDIZAGEM PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO INTELECTUAL. PARA QUE ISSO OCORRA AS INSTITUIÇÕES DE ENSINO ESTÃO UTILIZANDO FERRAMENTAS DE TECNOLOGIA DE INFORMAÇÃO E COMUNICAÇÃO E OS AMBIENTES VIRTUAIS DE APRENDIZAGEM – OS AVAS. NESTE CONTEXTO ESTE ESTUDO TEVE COMO OBJETIVO REALIZAR UM COMPARATIVO ENTRE A INTERAÇÃO E DESEMPENHO DOS ALUNOS DE CURSOS DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO EM DOIS AMBIENTES VIRTUAIS DE APRENDIZAGEM, A PLATAFORMA NETAULA E O AMBIENTE AULA. TRATA-SE DE UMA PESQUISA DESCRITIVA, TENDO COMO BASE DADOS SECUNDÁRIOS DISPONIBILIZADOS EM CADA AMBIENTE VIRTUAL INVESTIGADO NAS SALAS DE AULA DE DIFERENTES DISCIPLINAS DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO. OS RESULTADOS FORAM ANALISADOS ATRAVÉS DE ESTATÍSTICAS DESCRITIVAS, COMO PRINCIPAIS RESULTADOS DESTACA-SE A IMPORTÂNCIA DE UM AMBIENTE VIRTUAL MAIS AMIGÁVEL, COM TECNOLOGIA MODERNA E RECURSOS QUE PERMITAM MAIOR INTERAÇÃO ENTRE PROFESSOR E ALUNO, UMA PLATAFORMA COM MAIOR VARIEDADE DE FERRAMENTAS, MAIS MODERNA E INTERATIVA REDUZIU SIGNIFICATIVAMENTE O PERCENTUAL DE REPROVAÇÕES NAS DISCIPLINAS INVESTIGADAS.
