La Farga Yourcoppersolutions is a bicentennial Catalan company that manufactures semi-finished copper products. As copper is a 100% recyclable material, much of the sector’s production comes from secondary copper, scrap, not from mined copper. In the case of La Farga, not only a good part of its output comes from recycled copper, but it is also a world leader in copper-recycling technology. The objective of the paper is to describe La Farga’s business model from the point of view of sustainability and the circular economy. What have been the causes and effects of recycling on the business model? Regarding the methodology, the work follows the research strategy of the case study. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from a variety of primary and secondary sources. Economic, social and environmental sustainability of the firm was assessed through financial and non-financial indicators; value-added generation and distribution were calculated from accounting data; and the circular business model was analysed via a thematic analysis: its components, innovation, enablers and barriers. Results show that the presence of barriers forces the implementation of circularity to be gradual and to combine linear and circular models to maintain competitiveness.

Los objetivos son analizar los artículos publicados en Cuadernos de Turismo y valorar la evolución de la revista. Se estudian los hitos históricos, la distribución de frecuencias de los artículos y las autorías, el origen geográfico e institucional de las autorías, las temáticas y los territorios investigados, el impacto científico, el origen de las citas recibidas y el destino de las citas emitidas. A pesar de la concentración de autorías de España, la revista ha ganado influencia en Iberoamérica. Las temáticas están globalmente en sintonía con la investigación turística internacional. Entre las causas del creciente impacto de la revista, se encuentra la adaptación a los notables cambios que se han producido durante las dos últimas décadas en el entorno de las publicaciones académicas. The objectives are to analyse the articles published in Cuadernos de Turismo and to assess the journal's evolution. The historical milestones, the frequency distribution of articles and authorships, the geographical and institutional origin of authorships, the subjects and territories researched, the scientific impact, and the main cited and citing publications are studied. Despite the concentration of authorships from Spain, the journal has progressively gained influence in Latin America. The subjects are globally consistent with the international tourism research. Among the causes of the journal’s growing impact, there is the adaption to the remarkable changes that have occurred in the environment of the academic publishing during the last two decades.

The fundamental goal of this article is to show the implications that place branding has for regional public management through a case study of the brand “Vic, a city with a human dimension” [Vic, ciutat a la mesura humana, in Catalan language], a project commissioned by the city council of Vic and carried out by the city’s university (University of Vic-Central University of Catalonia). Vic is the capital of the Osona region, in the centre of Catalonia, with a population of 45,040 inhabitants. Methodologically, this research utilised 14 focus group discussions, two in-depth interviews and a survey addressed to citizens and answered by 855 people. In regards to results, the research shows that the practice of place branding transcends the traditional action areas of place marketing and place promotion, in order to be fully integrated in the region’s overall management policies, that is to say, its urban governance. The article also concludes that the processes of conceptualisation and implementation of new place brands must be framed within a bottom-up approach, integrating all the stakeholders (public–private cooperation) in the decision-making process.

Innovation ecosystems enable small- and medium-sized enterprises to compete with innovations that include the knowledge of others. Integrating external knowledge in innovation is however a complex process, and there are many pitfalls to consider. This chapter analyses a small company that leverages its innovation ecosystem to compete in a dynamic global industry characterized by rapid technological change. The company faces the challenge of creating and commercializing a breakthrough innovation for digital education, with educational content for teachers and easy-to-use authoring tools for modifying this content. As the company attempts to benefit from lead-user experiences, home bias towards knowledge from local users appears as an unexpected hurdle. The analysis of the case encompasses the firm, the industry, and the ecosystem levels, and indicates key concepts for innovation in ecosystem settings.

This teaching case considers the situation of a small Catalan company without the support of a local cluster, which is competing in a dynamic global industry characterized by rapid technological change. The company faces the challenge of creating and commercializing a breakthrough innovation for digital education, with educational content for teachers and easy-to-use authoring tools for modifying this content. The case analysis includes an internal and external analysis of the company and the industry, and introduces concepts associated to rapidly changing markets such as lead-user innovation, first-mover advantage, and transient advantage. The case is therefore adequate for courses on technology management, innovation, competitive strategy, or marketing management.

Catalan universities scientific collaboration in tourism is analyzed, from 2000 to 2010. Through coauthorship data, simple collaboration indicators are calculated and the collaboration network is examined. Collaboration among researchers, institutions and territories is investigated. Results show an increase in collaboration, differences among journals, and absence of relationship between collaboration and multidisciplinarity. The collaboration network presents a low density and several subnetworks.

Resum L’objectiu del present article és analitzar la col·laboració científica en el camp del turisme aCatalunya: caracteritzar els grups d’investigació; estudiar la col·laboració de grups, institucions i països; explorar l’efecte de la multidisciplinarietat i les revistes, i identificar-ne investigadors clau. Es va elaborar un catàleg de grups i es va analitzar la producció entre 2000i 2010 mitjançant el càlcul d’indicadors bibliomètrics i l’anàlisi de xarxes socials. Es vandetectar 20 grups, els quals es van classificar en quatre tipus. Els grups van col·laborar demanera interna i externa a parts iguals. La col·laboració va ser més elevada en les revistes més prestigioses, però no va quedar clar que la multidisciplinarietat augmentés la col·laboració. La xarxa de coautories va ser poc cohesionada, és a dir, hi va haver molts investigadors aïllats i subgrups desconnectats. I la col·laboració nacional i la internacional van ser les que van créixer més, tot i que la local va ser la més freqüent.
