- Understanding the factors that affect the adoption of sustainable entrepreneurship(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2024-11-13) Rojas Cruz, Lilia Raquel; Husted Corregan, Bryan William; emipsanchez; Aguiñaga Maldonado, Eudardo Enrique; Amorós Espinosa, José Ernesto; EGADE Business School; Campus MonterreyThe urgency of grand challenges such as climate change, resource depletion, and social injustice has generated a call for action, leading governments, markets, businesses, and individuals to adopt more sustainable practices and policies. The recognition of entrepreneurship as a solution— rather than a contributor to these issues— has given rise to sustainable entrepreneurship. Although academic interest in this field has grown in recent years, there is still much to learn about the nature of sustainable entrepreneurship in theory and practice. The present dissertation provides a new and broad approach to elements that influence the adoption of sustainable entrepreneurship. Three empirical studies were conducted to examine how microlevel (motivations, intentions, and competencies) and macro-level (state fragility, economic development, and culture) aspects are related to sustainable entrepreneurship. The first study investigates the relationship between entrepreneurial competencies—self-efficacy and social capital—and sustainable entrepreneurship, focusing on how these competencies influence entrepreneurial motivations. The results reveal that opportunity- and necessity-driven entrepreneurship positively affect sustainable entrepreneurship. Moreover, entrepreneurial motivation positively mediates the relationship between self-efficacy and sustainable entrepreneurship. The second study examines the interaction between state fragility, economic development, and sustainable entrepreneurship, focusing on how entrepreneurial motivations, such as opportunity and necessity entrepreneurship, influence this relationship. Findings suggest that state fragility positively affects sustainable entrepreneurship. Additionally, necessity and opportunity entrepreneurship fully mediate the relationship between state fragility and sustainable entrepreneurship. Finally, the third study aims to understand how the elements of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) influence sustainable entrepreneurial intentions and examine the moderating effects of Hofstede's cultural dimensions. The research focuses on Mexico and the USA, utilizing cross-sectional survey data and employing hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) with cross-level interactions to test the hypotheses. The findings suggest that long-term orientation positively moderates the relationship between individual-level attitudes toward sustainable entrepreneurship and sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. In contrast, masculinity negatively moderates the relationship between attitudes and intentions. Together, these studies comprehensively analyze the multilevel factors driving sustainable entrepreneurship. These findings theoretically and practically contribute to the field of sustainable entrepreneurship.
- The social impact of the firm: A geographic perspective(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2023) Tello Bañuelos, Mario Alberto; Husted Corregan, Bryan William; dnbsrp; Flores Segovia, Miguel Alejandro; Huguette Maas, Karen Elisabeth; EGADE Business School; Campus MonterreyThe lack of consensus regarding the definition of social impact in the academic and practitioner setting makes it difficult the identification and measurement of impact. The increasing number of methods and approaches is the result of the different ways in which the concept of social impact can be measured. This dissertation presents a geographic perspective to address the identification and measurement of the impact of firms at the facility level. This dissertation provides theoretical arguments regarding the firms’ effects in their surrounding areas. Based on their effects on people and the natural and physical environments, this research proposes the following parameters: health, crime, real estate, and green spaces. A specific objective was to build an index at the facility level. To achieve that, this dissertation applied a spatial approach to build a social performance index. That is, a geographic perspective allows the use of spatial data and satellite images. This research included specific indicators for each parameter. The social performance index gets a score on a 0-100 scale based on the average of the four parameters. This index is based on a 500m buffer. Based on the impact evaluation literature, this research used a double-difference (DD) method to evaluate impact. This research considers two buffer distances as groups: 500m buffer as the treatment group and 1km buffer as the comparison group. The social performance index at the facility level makes it possible comparisons among facilities and industries. This research has practical implications for business, government, and education. Besides, this research demonstrates that a geographic perspective is built on diverse literatures and techniques.
- Corporate Nonmarket Strategy in Emerging Markets: The Case of Mexico(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2021-02-05) Palomares Aguirre, Itzel; Husted Corregan, Bryan William; tolmquevedo; Rocha González, Jorge Miguel; Briseño García, Arturo; EGADE Business School; Campus MonterreyNonmarket strategy has always been an integral part of the firm’s strategy. However, as scholars have studied nonmarket strategy, they have acknowledged its increasing relevance as part of the firm’s strategy. Managers have become more interested in complementing the traditional market strategies focused on how to improve firm performance with either corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives or corporate political activity (CPA) actions. Even the government and the general public pay more attention to the firm’s nonmarket actions. For business, the use of CSR and CPA seeks to reduce uncertainty by creating social and political goodwill. However, most of what we have learned about nonmarket strategy in general is based on studies carried out in developed economies, which have strong institutions that provide a system of checks and balances and a set of guidelines. I contend that emerging markets such as Mexico have different “rules of the game” and thus nonmarket strategy will have different results when implemented in firms operating in such emerging contexts. The present dissertation aims to explain how firms in emerging markets use corporate nonmarket strategy to obtain a strategic advantage. Specifically, three studies have been conducted to understand the use of nonmarket strategy in an emerging economy such as Mexico. The first paper aims to look at the influence of country level characteristics on the likelihood of engaging in earnings management. Results show that emerging economies differ from developing economies in the effect of board characteristics CEO duality and board independence on the likelihood of earnings management, requiring that current theories adapt to the reality of these differences between both sets of countries. The second paper looks at the inner circle of firms listed in the Mexican Stock Exchange. This is a descriptive study that maps fifteen years of board members and their relationships, concluding that the disappearance of the inner circle that has been documented on other developed economies is not happening in Mexico. Finally, the third paper uses a foreground/background metaphor to explore how influence payments can be performed in the foreground (e.g. political donations) or in the background (e.g. questionable payments) and the effect of such in financial performance. We found a mediation mechanism between political donation and firm performance consisting of the firm’s power in the network of board interlocks. Together these three studies show both the complexity and importance of nonmarket strategy for securing a competitive advantage. However, results also show that strategies regarding board composition and its monitoring functions that are successful in developed economies might not translate with the same effect in emerging markets. Thus, the importance of conducting research in emerging contexts for testing our knowledge on nonmarket strategy. Results of the studies make contributions to the field of strategic management.
- Influencia de la imputabilidad en la intención inmoral del agente social : Aproximación exploratoria mediante métodos cualitativo y cuantitativo a la construcción de la intención de consumo de piratería digital en la Ciudad de México(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2009-10-14) Martell Sotomayor, Michel J.; Husted Corregan, Bryan William; Arriola Miranda, María Angelina; Hernández Baqueiro, AlbertoEl vocablo corrupción nos remite a descomposición y no especifica parte sin embargo, la mayoría de los estudios sobre corrupción como fenómeno se ha centrado en los procesos y las personas del servicio público y sus efectos, y esta concentración dejó de lado el estudio de la participación de la persona del agente social. Este enfoque olvidó que el servidor público también es, la mayor parte de su actividad y de su vida, un agente social. La descomposición social que puede asociarse a la corrupción es fundamentalmente resultado de un conjunto de fuerzas en las que contribuye el agente social así que, si se pretende comprender la corrupción y a partir de esto combatirla, se requiere estudiarla como un fenómeno social. El sistema integral más socorrido para atacar a la corrupción plantea el accountabilitycomo un constituyente esencial. Este elemento no sólo no tiene traducción al español, buscar describirlo en este idioma resulta complejo. Entre otras cuestiones, en este trabajo se propone que uno de los elementos del accountability que no se ha reconocido en el idioma español es la imputabilidad y se plantea la hipótesis de que la imputabilidad juega un papel en la intención de actuar fuera del marco que establece la ley. En una muestra de la población del Distrito Federal y mediante el empleo de la teoría del comportamiento planificado como aproximación de construcción de la intención, en esta investigación se estudia cualitativamente al problema de la piratería digital como una manifestación de la corrupción social y se demuestra cuantitativamente que la idea que tenemos de lo que nos es imputable actúa como moderador de la intención de actuar pasando por alto a los marcos regulatorios. Además, se prueba la factibilidad de ampliar la fortaleza del constructo de los referentes que influyen en la construcción de la intención de la teoría del comportamiento planificado. Los hallazgos de esta investigación pueden resultar de utilidad para aquellos que conforman los programas educativos de nivel elemental y básico y para aquellos que estudian y proponen las regulaciones y mecanismos de control en materia de propiedad intelectual
