Abstract
Challenge-based learning (CBL) is a didactic technique that aims to increase the knowledge and skills development of higher education students. The different situations that humanity faces make educational models evolve and adapt to reality and force faculty to be increasingly prepared and open to face current problems. The Tecnológico de Monterrey, the highest ranked private university in Mexico and the 155th in the world (QS World University Rankings, 2021), has implemented the Tec21 Educational Model based on four fundamental pillars: (1) CBL; (2) flexibility; (3) inspiring faculty; and (4) integrated and memorable education experiences. In this chapter, we describe the experience of implementing this education model. Our conclusions so far are that students acquire more knowledge in CBL classes than in face-to-face classes; however, faculty require an adequate training program, and there must be a prior design of the competency assessment instruments. Testing of various assessment instruments found that checklists and rubrics are the most accepted, appropriate, objective, and transparent in CBL courses, based on faculty and students' surveys. Finally, in the opinion of employers, students educated with CBL as a didactic technique have greater acceptance in the working world.

Abstract
Purpose
Borrowing stewardship theory and self-determination theory as the theoretical lens, this study aims to develop a conceptual model for engendering distributor’s stewardship-oriented behaviors (SOBs) in manufacturer–distributor relationships.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper utilized primary dyadic data collected from 237 key informants of manufacturers and distributors in the Indian Pharmaceutical and FMCG industry to evaluate the study hypotheses using a structural equation modeling approach.
Findings
Findings indicate that key elements of intrinsic and identified motivation play a pivotal role in fostering distributor’s SOBs which in turn generate higher relationship performance outcomes for the manufacturer. Moreover, the effect of antecedents was moderated by manufacturer’s effective communication with the distributor.
Research limitations/implications
Results of this study document four factors as antecedents to distributors’ SOBs, which manufacturers can strategically incorporate in their relationship strategies with distributors.
Originality/value
The study introduces the concept of SOBs to marketing channel literature, thereby extending channel theory by drawing attention to the distributor’s intrinsically motivated positive behaviors that are in the best interest of manufacturers.

Abstract
Purpose
This study provides a new look at the late 19th-century university issue in Spain. Loss of self-government among universities and the state’s centralization brought a conflict between science and religion to the fore in the process of the secularization of knowledge.
Design/methodology/approach
We first delve into the anti-Darwinian framework associated with the scientific professionalization process, focusing on the case of the jurist Antonio Hernández Fajarnés (1851–1909). Secondly, we study the idea of the university that emerged from the Ateneo de Madrid, analyzing key speeches from the jurist Francisco Fernández de Henestrosa (1855–s.d.) given in 1887/88 and from the pharmacist José Rodríguez Carracido (1856–1928).
Findings
The study concludes that the Restoration Era in Spain was characterized by a generalized desire – shared by neo-Scholastics, conservatives and liberal rationalists – to improve the public university system. In this context, French influence was no doubt decisive; however, the Humboldtian university idea had already begun to have notable influence.
Originality/value
This article analyzes sources yet unknown to international research, such as the Ateneo de Madrid debates and Spanish university rectors’ inaugural speeches. It opens up a critical examination of the so-called displacement of educational principles in Spain toward a state-centered system of doctrinal moderantismo as opposed to the nation-centered system of the Cádiz liberalism. At the same time, it identifies key pockets of resistance relative to Spanish university transformation toward increased methodological secularization.
