When studying entrepreneur’s intentions, researchers have mainly relied on the theory of planned behaviour model developed by Ajzen (1991. “The Theory of Planned Behavior.” Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes 50 (2): 179–211) which includes personal variables such as subjective norms, attitude and perception of behavioural control. However, it may be affected, mediated or moderated by other variables or situational factors that influence the relationships between these predictors and intention. The aim of the present study is to analyse the moderating effect of attitudes on the link between the perception of behavioural control and intentions. For this purpose, Partial Least Squares Structural Equations Modeling (PLS-SEM) were used in a sample of 654 last year students from an Spanish University. The results highlight the important role that attitudes play as moderator of business intentions, since the direct effect of perceived control behaviour on intentions increases as attitudes increase. It is also worthy to stress the positive effect that the learning process and subjective norms have on entrepreneurs perceived control behaviour.
Purpose: This paper aims to analyse through a bibliometric study the academic literature that relates entrepreneurship to foods.Design/methodology/approach: A database of 1,300 papers published in the ISI Web of Science was generated. The bibliometric techniques allowed us to describe scientific literature evolution, most productive authors, institutions and countries, most relevant sources and documents, trend topics and social structure.Findings: The results illustrate an upward trend, more accentuated in the last four years, in publishing papers relating entrepreneurship to the food industry.Originality/value: This research is novel because although numerous articles relate the food industry to entrepreneurship, no bibliometric articles that analyse the scientific production that relates both terms have been found in the literature.
Increasingly, the literature highlights the importance of implementing and developing socially responsible behaviours by all stakeholders in the tourism sector. This paper describes the evolution of research on social responsibility in the tourism sector until July 2020. We compiled a database of 846 articles focused on the field and published in academic journals in the ISI WoS database. Bibliometric methods and techniques were used to describe the evolution of scientific activity, countries and active institutions, most productive authors, most relevant sources, most influential documents, trend topics, and social structure researched. This determined the state of the art and described the evolution of the literature in this field, and will help scholars refine existing and initiate new research agendas. A total of 846 papers were identified and the results showed an upward trend in scientific production relating corporate social responsibility (CSR) to tourism. Based on these analyses, possible forms of future research are proposed to advance towards the consolidation of this scientific discipline.

El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar un análisis sistemático de la literatura para mostrar el estado del arte en la investigación sobre los Sistemas de Gestión de Procesos de Negocio (BPMS, por sus siglas en inglés). Los BPMS representan una tecnología que automatiza los procesos de negocio, conectando a usuarios con sus tareas. Para ello, se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura de los últimos diez años, utilizando trabajos científicos indexados en las principales bases de datos del área de conocimiento. Los trabajos generados por la búsqueda fueron posteriormente analizados y filtrados. Entre los hallazgos de este estudio destaca el interés académico y el carácter multidisciplinar de la materia, identificándose este tipo de estudio en distintas áreas de conocimiento. Este estudio sirve como punto de partida para futuras investigaciones en este ámbito que servirían para desarrollar una teoría más robusta y ampliar el interés del tema por su impacto económico en la gestión por procesos.

In ports, businesses processes can be improved through the use of more efficient technologies. In this regard, Business process management systems (BPMS) may be considered the best tool for this purpose since it helps users to coordinate and automate critical processes such as cargo manifests, customs declaration the management of scales, or dangerous goods, traditionally supported by EDI technologies. The aim of this work is to demonstrate, through a systematic analysis of the literature, the state of the art in BPMS research in the port industry. For this, a systematic review of the literature of the last ten years was carried out. The works generated by the search were subsequently analysed and filtered. After the investigation, it is discovered that the relationship between BPMS and the port sector is practically non-existent which represents an important gap to be covered and a future line of research.
