Responsible Management in the Hotel Industry: An Integrative Review and Future Research Directions

Abstract

In this study, we map the fast-growing body of knowledge on responsible management in the hotel industry. We aimed to provide scholars with guidance on navigating the rich and diverse scholarship on this topic, and where to engage to develop it further. Using a mixed-method review approach encompassing quantitative and qualitative elements, we reviewed the last decade of publications in journals specializing in research on hotels. On this basis, we identify critical areas as well as potential gaps in research on responsible management in the hotel industry. By scrutinizing research contexts, methods, theoretical approaches, levels of analysis, and findings, we synthesize and profile current scholarship, identify established and emerging trends, and discuss implications for scholarship and management practice, with critical or even provocative observations to guide possible theoretical and empirical extensions as well as fruitful avenues for future research.

Digital Gold or Digital Security? Unravelling the Legal Fabric of Decentralised Digital Assets

“…The first decentralized digital asset, Bitcoin, is certainly a cryptocurrency in that it was established to serve as a medium of exchange. Smart contract capable layer one chains, such as Ethereum, may be intended both as a medium of exchange and as a platform for smart contracts and web3 for a variety of commercial and non-commercial purposes [63][64][65][66][67][68]. Ether has been called "ultrasound money", and in addition to its currency aspects, has utility in that it can be used to fund transactions, such as minting NFTs, beyond the limits of a traditional currency.…”

Universal skepticism of ChatGPT: a review of early literature on chat generative pre-trained transformer

“…When reviewing publications for this paper, we followed usual procedures recommended for literature reviews in new and emerging fields of research (Gancarczyk et al, 2022 ; Liang et al, 2022 ). Having set the scope of the research to only Scopus-indexed publications published between November 2022 and April 2023, we first identified papers which contain the name “ChatGPT” either in the title, abstract, or keywords.…”

The role of foreign venture capital and foreign business angels in start-ups’ early internationalization: The case of Polish ICT start-ups

“…In the theoretical part, we will conduct a literature review presenting the potential relationship between venture capital and business angels and start-ups' early internationalization. In this part, we will apply a similar approach as Liang, Watters, and Lemański (2022) to identify the abovementioned relationship. The empirical part will present the results of empirical research conducted on 220 Polish start-ups.…”
