“…Resource-Based View (RBV) originates primarily from the work of Wernerfelt [55]. However, its origins can be traced back to 1959 in the work of Penrose [56], who described the organization as a tool and the role of management in the manufacture and use of existing equipment to generate financial outputs. He argues that the resources are a guarantee of strong growth.…”

The topic of corporate social responsibility (henceforth referred to as CSR) has been a central topic during the last decade, but the majority of the existing literature discusses CSR relationship with large organizations. Whereas, its contribution in small and medium enterprises (henceforth referred to as SME) sector has received little attention. There have been some studies that focused on CSR activities in SME sector quantitatively in the context of developing economies like Pakistan, but the fact is, to date, SME sector of Pakistan is not participating actively in CSR-related activities due to some constraints. The present study is a pioneer attempt, to explore CSR barriers that restrict SME sector of Pakistan from practicing CSR initiatives. For this reason, the present study explores these barriers qualitatively in order to gain in-depth knowledge of different CSR barriers. In doing so, we conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews from 9 SMEs in Lahore city of Pakistan. We performed thematic analysis, which produced five relevant themes of CSR barriers, including: Lack of resources, lack of regulations, lack of top management commitment, lack of CSR knowledge, and passive customer behavior. Our analysis further showed that lack of resources is the most related barrier that hinder SMEs to be engaged in CSR activities. This paper contributes to CSR literature in emerging economies’ context. Through an increased awareness of barriers, policy makers and practitioners may take necessary steps to improve CSR practices in SMEs.

“…The decrease in visitors could be due to the two Malaysia Airlines crashes in 2014, Malaysia being blacklisted by China, the kidnapping at Sabah, and the Covid-19 pandemic, all of which were crises that caused uncertainty in travellers visiting Malaysia. Crises are one of the important issues that must be avoided in the travel industry Foo et al, 2020;Som et al, 2015;Valeri, 2016;Valeri et al, 2020;Valeri & Baggio, 2020a).…”

The aim of this research is to analyze the factors influencing visit intention and destination image in post-Covid-19 crisis recovery. In post-crisis recovery, the factors influencing visit intention are physical, sociopsychological and financial factors. A total of 426 respondents were selected and analyzed using correlation and multiple regression analyses. The findings demonstrate that physical factors are the main factors that influence tourists' visit intention. Additionally, destination image significantly affects visit intention and significantly mediates the relationship between the factors and visit intention. All this inevitably affects the organizational structure of the tourist destination.

“…As all social phenomena, the tourist sector has been going through a deep evolution over the years (Valeri & Baiocco, 2012;Valeri, 2016). In our current complex context of changes, the governance and management of tourist enterprises are responsible for the promotion of sustainability through the development of new tourist products/services that need to be economically advantageous, socially acceptable by the hosting communities and respectful of the local environmental resources (Schianetz et al, 2007).…”

The purpose of the paper is to analyze the strategic role of relational capital for the achievement of sustainable development in Italian micro and small tourist businesses run by women. The paper focuses on the tourism enterprises because that sector constitute 10 % of the Italian GDP. The qualitative research methodology that has been used is that of case study research (Yin, 2009). Such process consisted in a survey with an ad-hoc questionnaire developed to analyze the distinctive features of a woman-owned micro and small enterprise that can be identified with the CAOS model (Paoloni, 2011). The paper applies the CAOS model examining the personal characteristics of the female entrepreneur (C); the environment in which the in SMEs operates (A); organizational and managerial aspects (O); and the motivations for manage a new business (S).
