Economic development depends on business education for a thriving and secure society. A skilled workforce that can create, innovate and increase business opportunities fosters an environment of prosperity that provides jobs and enhances the quality of life among its citizens. This study examines the environment, content, and delivery of business education in Peru. It analyses curriculum content and students' perceptions of its value. Moreover, it discusses school of business strategies in aligning their curricula to incorporate international business as an integral subject to reflect the market needs. The paper aims to highlight the importance of the strategic alignment for the academicians as well as practitioners to understand the methods, techniques and activities that are being used to prepare the future of business workforce.

The micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) sector occupies a prominent position in Indian economy. This sector offers some unique features like high employment generation capacity, significant contribution to the GDP and foreign exchange earnings of the nation. However, in spite of such benefits, the units in the MSME sector suffer from certain inherent limitations which, coupled with adverse factors external to the units, bring about business failures. The ownership of the MSME units in India is predominantly proprietary and the proprietors are persons with limited resources, knowledge, experience and capability. Such limitations, often coupled with certain external adversities like thin margin, inadequate and delayed financial assistance completion from large industries etc. of the MSME units which exposes the MSME units to a greater threat by adversely affecting the key success factors (KSFs). Where traditional risk management approach cannot meet the mitigation level, there KSFs solving approach can be useful.

This paper reviews the academic literature on sustainability marketing, compile, classify and analyse the papers to understand the role of sustainability as a marketing strategy and provide a comprehensive bibliography. A range of databases from 1960-013 were researched. One hundred and fifty one articles were selected and each of these was further reviewed and classified according to various criteria. The content analysis led to classification of literature into three broad categories - environmental, social and economic sustainability which were further segregated into 15 sub-categories. The study identifies various untapped areas for further research in terms of sustainable product development process, sustainable supply chain management, sustainable consumer behaviour, etc. The findings relate to the field of marketing from selected online databases for the given time period, but not to the larger universe of literature on sustainability from other disciplines.

Unintended consequences are at the heart of a dilemma for firms acting on corporate sustainability. On the one hand, corporate sustainability encourages businesses to take bold, timely and ethical action to address society's grand challenges. On the other, due to the complexity and unpredictability of our world, action brings with it a higher risk of unintended consequences. This paper makes the case that unintended consequences are real and an important consideration for businesses taking action to improve their sustainability in complex environments. This paper develops a framework which positions unintended consequences among other business concepts. Further, I demonstrate fear of unintended consequences is a challenge that can further hinder corporate action on sustainability. However, developing tools and processes to detect unintended consequences, learn from them and respond innovatively provides an opportunity for businesses to better manage in uncertain and complex environments. This paper demonstrates why, in a complex world, a strategy for unintended consequences is needed to empower action on corporate sustainability strategy.

Research on the financial benefits of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has proliferated in recent years but generated mixed results. Rather than asking if CSR helps or hinders firm performance, it might be more worthwhile to explore conditions impacting relations between CSR and firm performance. That is, given the potential trade-offs between investments in CSR and those in other value-creating activities, it is necessary to examine their interactive impacts on corporate financial performance (CFP). Toward this end, this study explores if, and how, investments in innovation capabilities, branding capabilities and managerial capabilities moderate the effect of CSR on CFP. Testing the hypotheses with a sample of 579 US firms from 1991 to 2010, we found that the positive effect of CSR on CFP is weaker in firms that are more innovative and better at branding, and stronger in firms that spend more on acquiring managerial capabilities.

Change and reform in the healthcare system, and policy determination to reduce costs has now necessitated a rethink and more innovation for this sector. Leadership needs to strengthen professionals who have the dual responsibility for ensuring the quality and effectiveness of healthcare and this requires new organisational forms beyond the traditional hierarchical structures. Drawing upon strategic management and leadership discourse to underpin the study into sustainable and high performing healthcare systems, we present seven key lessons (propositions) from a mixed-methods study of a city-wide collaboratives in Leeds, UK. Our study suggested that the sustainability of such collaboratives, requires a more effective structure that could be local city-wide collaborative in contrast to national/regional collaboratives. However, there are also several unknowns in such novel organisational structures. The study also finds that both an energetic strategic leader and promotion of professional learning cultures are vital for the sustainability of such collaboratives.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is increasingly a competitive advantage for multinational corporations (MNCs), and it has become more popular among academicians and practitioners. Previous research has shown that CSR differ among countries and corporations. Therefore, developing an evaluation tool to assess the readiness and responsiveness of MNCs to implement CSR procedures is valuable and important for decision makers. In this study, we developed a model that applies a fuzzy rule-based model to evaluate CSR enablers for MNCs. We review the literature on CSR, stakeholder theory, and MNCs to extract four enablers, namely, stakeholder engagement, environmental context, organisational structure and firm strategy. The presented model thus utilises expert knowledge and fuzzy logic to overcome the imprecision of pertinent criteria and enable managers to evaluate MNCs' readiness to perform CSR initiatives. The illustrative example shows that the introduced model provides an applicable tool for managers in MNCs to assess the effects of different enablers in different 'what-if' scenarios without the need for other probabilistic models and in a reasonable time. This study reveals and re-confirms that the fuzzy rule-based approach is an encouraging decision tool in the context of sustainable development and in the presence of uncertainties.

This research examined the factors that contributed to use of information from a business intelligence system (BIS) in management decision making and the relationship to organisation and business process performance. Business intelligence (BI) is a timely topic, as organisations continue to invest in systems to leverage big data and gain sustainable competitive advantage. Few studies have examined whether organisational performance benefits result from management use of information from the BIS in decision-making processes. This research surveyed 259 managers with access to a BIS for use in their decision-making processes. A partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach was used to analyse the results. The global model indicated that use of information from the BIS in management decision making contributed to organisational performance benefits. Information content quality, information access quality, and analytical decision-making culture contributed to use of information in the global model.

The business of non-aeronautical activities in airports has evolved into a particularly dynamic and competitive industry during the last decades. Indeed, the intense competition within the airlines' sector and changes in airport ownership patterns have led to the reduction of profits derived from aeronautical activities. As a consequence, attention has been shifted towards commercial returns and non-core airport services. According to this preamble, this paper aims to offers an analysis of the business model concept in the airport industry by considering the specific case of non-aviation revenues (NARs). In addiction, the paper tries to present a theoretical analysis on the relationship between business strategy and business model in the specific context.

The purpose of this article was to provide an overview of cultural factors affecting organisational leadership in Mexico. A comprehensive review, analysis, and synthesis of the literature on cultural aspects that affect or could affect organisational leadership in Mexico were conducted. The findings of the study suggest that there are certain cultural values such as low acceptance of ambiguity, feeling comfortable with rules, avoiding risk, and willingness to accept uneven power distribution, which could influence leadership practices in Mexico. Effective leadership styles in Mexico are those that take into consideration the particularities of the Mexican culture. This article has implications for expatriates assigned to leadership positions in Mexico. It is important that expatriates managing a Mexican workforce be aware of the cultural factors that could impact Mexicans' expectations about leadership. By being aware of the cultural factors influencing leadership in Mexico, human resource professionals of MNCs can facilitate management development programs to better prepare expatriates for leadership positions in Mexico.
