A bibliometric analysis of greenwashing research: a closer look at agriculture, food industry and food retail
(Emerald, 2021) Montero-Navarro, Antonio; González-Torres, Thais; Rodríguez-Sánchez, José-Luis; Gallego-Losada, Rocío
Purpose – This paper aims at providing an overview and synthesis of the existing body of knowledge about greenwashing. Special attention is paid to the articles directly linked with agriculture, food industry and food retail. Design/methodology/approach – A bibliometric analysis was performed over 351 documents extracted from the WoS database, using SciMAT and VOSviewer software programs. Findings – Three periods in the academic literature about greenwashing can be distinguished: ground-setting (2003–2010), trail-blazing (2011–2015) and remarkable growth (2016–2020). Along this evolution, a body of knowledge which stemmed from the literature about CSR has achieved a major development, deploying different research lines such as stakeholders’ management, marketing and communication and audit.Aspecific analysis of the academic literature about greenwashing in agriculture, food industry and food retail has been carried out, showing a need for further development. Social implications – The development of scientific knowledge about greenwashing puts this social claim on the spotlight of business management studies, helping to fight greenwashing and, this way, to reduce the environmental impact of corporate activities. Studying greenwashing will help to reduce its frequency and, therefore, heal the planet. Originality/value – Some previous studies have provided systematic reviews of the literature using different approaches, but they did not untangle the intellectual structure and the evolution of the body of research about greenwashing. This article originally provides a thorough analysis of these aspects, as well as a closer look at the impact of greenwashing practices in the academic literature regarding agriculture, food industry and food retail.
Digital financial inclusion. Visualizing the academic literature
(Elsevier, 2022) Gallego-Losada, María-Jesús; Montero-Navarro, Antonio; García-Abajo, Elisa; Gallego-Losada, Rocío
Financial inclusion, which requires granting an affordable, adequate and widespread access to a sufficient range of financial products and services, has often been considered one of the cornerstones of social development, as it can contribute to poverty reduction, narrow the income gap, lead to wiser financial decisions, help to enlarge savings, increase the productive investment and foster a greater gender equality. Information and communication technologies have shown a major potential to contribute to financial inclusion, giving birth to digital financial inclusion. Using bibliometric techniques, this paper disentangles the intellectual structure of the research on digital financial inclusion, revealing the most influential sources, authors and areas inside this research stream. The results of this paper show that we are dealing with a critical demand of current society, which is attracting a growing attention of the academic literature and should be in the spotlight of both private and public institutions.
Investing Time and Resources for Work–Life Balance: The Effect on Talent Retention
(MDPI, 2020) Rodríguez-Sánchez, José-Luis; González-Torres, Thais; Montero-Navarro, Antonio; Gallego-Losada, Rocío
The study of work–life balance has undergone significant development in recent years as a result of changes in society and the growing importance of human resources (HR) for companies. Taking into account that human capital represents a critical success factor for businesses, the current context requires the development and implementation of HR management strategies aimed at attracting and retaining the most talented workers in order to obtain the expected results. The objective of this paper is to present an integrated model of work–life balance strategies, including the impacts of the different policies and practices on the retention of talented HR, which can be a basis for further academic developments on this subject, as well as a roadmap for managers. Hence, we will analyze a case study carried out in a multinational company—a leader in the technology and tourism sectors, and importantly dependent on valuable human capital, for which the HR strategy aims to improve the performance of the firm in the medium and long term through analysis, planning, and flexibility
Is the digitalisation the future of the luxury industry?
(Elsevier, 2024-11-15) Sanz-Lopez, Francisco; Gallego-Losada, Rocío; Montero-Navarro, Antonio; García-Abajo, Elisa
In the context of the fourth industrial revolution, this study examines the digital transformation of the luxury industry through a bibliometric analysis of 236 articles (1991–2022) and a bibliographic coupling of research from 2022 to 2024. The analysis identifies key trends, including the use of digital tools to enhance customer engagement, the growing role of review-based feedback in the tourism sector, value creation through innovative products and promotional strategies, and the advances in sustainability via digitalization. Despite these hot trends, many firms in the luxury sector have not yet involved in a real digital transformation, as they have only digitalized specific aspects of their operations. The findings suggest that while luxury firms are embracing digital tools to meet the expectations of digitally native consumers, they face the challenge of balancing innovation with the preservation of their core values. The study concludes that digital transformation is not merely an operational shift but a strategic imperative for the future competitiveness and profitability of the luxury sector
Mapping the intellectual structure of microfinance and women's empowerment: A bibliometric analysis
(Elsevier, 2024-10-30) Maldonado-Castro, Jenny; Gallego-Losada, Rocío; Montero-Navarro, Antonio
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasize promoting and protecting women's rights and privileges. As a result, an increasing body of academic literature describes the various actions taken by different stakeholders to empower women. Amongst the initiatives implemented in many nations, microfinance and financial inclusion programs play a major role. This article aims to present an overview and synthesis of the research on the notion and practices of microfinance and its influence on entrepreneur women's empowerment. In order to do so, this study uses bibliometric techniques over a selection of papers extracted from the Web of Science database, to disentangle the knowledge structure of this academic field. According to our findings, the study of microfinance and women's empowerment is growing, with 470 publications, 963 authors, 67 nations and 36 research areas. Research topics include poverty reduction, gender issues in entrepreneurship, microfinance and women empowerment, and women in microcredit. An additional bibliographic coupling analysis has revealed the hottest research topics, showing the main gaps in the literature that suggest potential directions for future research
Measuring financial divide in the rural environment. The potential role of the digital transformation of finance
(Springer, 2024-06-10) Gallego-Losada, María-Jesús; Montero-Navarro, Antonio; Gallego-Losada, Rocío; Rodríguez-Sánchez, José-Luis
Financial inclusion, which means the promotion of an affordable, timely and adequate access to a wide range of regulated financial products and services, as well as its use by all the segments of the society, is a high potential tool that may contribute to the development of the rural environment, while its absence could in turn cause a major harm. The availability of a sufficient level of financial literacy, which can be defined as the ability to understand financial concepts and risks, as well as the motivation and trust to use it when making financial decisions, is frequently deemed to be a need to reach financial inclusion by the academic literature. Financial literacy is, in turn, influenced by different variables, such as the degree of rural or urban predominance, the level of education and the available income in the household. This paper analyses the impact of such factors on financial literacy. The degree of financial literacy tends to be lower in rural environments, with limited incomes and poorer educational backgrounds, which creates a vicious circle that potentially worsens the situation of what has been called the empty Spain. Considering the importance of financial literacy to reach financial inclusion, we remark the potential of digital transformation as a valuable tool to break this negative trend in the less populated Spanish regions, and so, a cornerstone for the regenerative development of the Spanish rural areas.

The Opportunity Presented by Technological Innovation to Attract Valuable Human Resources
(MDPI, 2019) Rodríguez-Sánchez, José-Luis; Montero-Navarro, Antonio; Gallego-Losada, Rocío
Technological innovation fostered by the use of the Internet and social networks in the business context requires the modification of the human resources (HR) management process to use the opportunities to obtain a sustainable competitive advantage. This paper analyzes the opportunities provided by technological innovation, which allows for the development of a new e-recruitment and selection process to access and attract valuable HR regardless of their geographical location. Adapting the traditional selection process, companies can incorporate new 2.0 selection techniques that generate an extraordinary improvement opportunity in human resource management. Given the need for members of the human resources department to master new technologies in order to maximize the benefits of e-recruitment and selection, the aim of this work is to carry out a case study in a leading company in the mechanical engineering sector. To this end, we will start by reviewing the literature. Then, the work o ers a model of HR management considering the influence of technological innovation on the attraction of valuable human resources, integrating the previous theoretical contributions of experts in the field. Based on the observation of the case study, the results show the main factors, human resource practices, and management results and behaviors undertaken by a multinational company. The case study allows researchers to learn from professionals and business leaders and presents a roadmap that can be used to manage e-recruitment and selection.
Visualizing Research on Industrial Clusters and Global Value Chains: A Bibliometric Analysis
(Frontiers Media, 2020) González-Torres, Thais; Rodríguez-Sánchez, José-Luis; Montero-Navarro, Antonio; Gallego-Losada, Rocío
In the current digital era, the borders amongst firms are getting blurred when it comes to value creation. Therefore, the traditional configuration of the value chain is frequently replaced by other ones which include the collaborative participation of different agents. Within this context, global value chains, where the value activities are located in different countries, and industrial clusters, which combine competition and cooperation, are attracting a growing attention of both business leaders and scholars in the recent years. Through a bibliometric analysis, this paper disentangles the intellectual and conceptual structure of the research topic of industrial clusters and global value chains. Results show the multidisciplinary character of the topic, including papers published in different areas, such as business, regional studies and world development, as well as its close link with aspects like innovation, regional development, governance or organization. Finally, this study remarks the research lines that could attract more attention in the immediate future.
