Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to analyze whether or not the reputation of a region/country in the international wine market depends on a region/country’s efforts to specialize in a specific grape variety.
Design/methodology/approach
Data on 19,959 bottles of wine corresponding to six vintages across ten wine producing regions worldwide are used to estimate a hedonic price model that measures consumer valuations of the different wine attributes.
Findings
The results of this study show that although variety specialization has successfully underpinned the reputation of some New World regions, such as the Napa Valley (with its Cabernet Sauvignon) or Oregon (with its Pinot Noir); in others, such as Australia (with its Shiraz), this has not been successful.
Practical implications
Over the last ten years, the exponential growth of Australian bulk wine exports has seriously harmed the reputation of Australian wine. With respect to the Napa Valley wines, price discount received by Australian wines increases between the 1997 and 2007 vintage from 33 to 61 percent. Thus, in order to successfully build a collective reputation of an entrant (New World) country, an institutional framework that mediates differences of interest between the large and small vineyards and, above all, that regulates the free-rider problem in the wine market is required.
Originality/value
This paper empirically illustrates how cooperative (and non-cooperative) behavior between firms can help to build (and to destroy) collective reputation of wines that come from the same region or country.
Propósito
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar si los esfuerzos de una región/país por especializarse en la producción de una misma variedad de cepa sirven o no para construir la reputación de una región/país en el mercado internacional del vino.
Diseño/metodología/Enfoque
Se utiliza un modelo econométrico de precios hedónicos sobre la base de 19.959 mil observaciones provenientes de 6 cosechas y 10 zonas productoras de vino del mundo.
Resultados
Los resultados de este estudio muestran que aunque la especialización por cepa ha impulsado la reputación de algunas regiones del Nuevo Mundo, como la del Valle de Napa (con su Cabernet Sauvignon) o la de Oregon (con su Pinot Noir); en otras, como la de Australia (con su Shiraz), no ha sido una estrategia exitosa.
Implicaciones prácticas
En los últimos diez años, el crecimiento exponencial de las exportaciones de vino a granel australiano ha dañado seriamente la reputación del vino de dicho país. Respecto a los vinos de Napa, el castigo de precios de los vinos australianos ha crecido desde un 33% en la cosecha 1997 a un 61% en la cosecha 2007. Así, si se desea construir con éxito la reputación de un país entrante (del Nuevo Mundo) al mercado mundial del vino, se requiere de un marco institucional que medie las diferencias de interés entre las grandes y pequeñas viñas, y que, por sobre todo, regule las conductas no cooperativas (free-rider) que surgen al amparo de la reputación colectiva asociada a los vinos que provienen de una misma región o país de origen.
Originalidad/Valor
Este paper ilustra de manera empírica cómo las conductas cooperativas (y no cooperativas) entre productores pueden ayudar a construir (y a destruir) la reputación colectiva de los vinos que provienen de una misma región o país.

Abstract
The multidimensional nature of well-being is now widely recognized. However, multidimensional poverty measurement is still an expanding field of research and a consensus about the “best” composite indicator has not yet emerged. In this chapter, we provide an empirical analysis using three existing methodologies: Bourguignon and Chakravarty (2003), Alkire and Foster (2007), and Lemmi (2005); Chiappero Martinetti (2000). We present an empirical study of the convergence and divergence of poverty profiles for children in Uruguay considering the following dimensions: nutritional status, child educational achievement, housing condition, and household income. Our data gather information of 1,185 children attending public schools in Montevideo and the surrounding metropolitan area, and were specially gathered to carry out a multidimensional analysis of poverty.
Our results indicate that the three families of indexes yield very different cardinalizations of poverty. At the same time, the correlation coefficients among the three groups of measures for the generalized headcount ratio also highlight important differences in the children labeled as “more deprived.” For the generalized severity and intensity indexes the correlation coefficients increase significantly suggesting a high level of concordance among the three measures, particularly among the Bourguignon and Chakravarty methodology and the Alkire and Foster one.

Abstract
Learning outcomes
In entrepreneurship courses, the case would allow discussing the contribution of social innovation. On the other hand, in strategy courses the case would allow proposing the business model for a social enterprise, to evaluate the creation, delivery and capture of value of a social enterprise. Depending on the course and approach you want to give to the case discussion, it can serve as support for the following objectives: arguing the contribution of social innovation to solve problems in a region; propose the resources and value proposition of the business model of a social enterprise; and attitudes promotion: understand the importance of ethics and responsibility in the development of social enterprises.
Case overview/synopsis
The case addresses the opportunity of the school “Brillo de Luna,” when developing social entrepreneurship, which requires projection, evaluation and management support. In this context, the director of the school must propose a business model that is sustainable in the long-term in the market and that generates shared value. The institutional relationship of the school “Brillo de Luna” with the Cristalchile company, through the social entrepreneurship of glass recycling, could generate economic, environmental and social value to the school community and the company.
Complexity academic level
Courses in which the case could be applied: entrepreneurship and strategy.

Abstract
Purpose
This article aims to analyse the spatial and temporal evolution of multidimensional poverty in Brazil's North Region and its relationship with territorial, economic and population dynamics.
Design/methodology/approach
A multidimensional poverty index (MPI) was calculated using the Alkire-Foster method and a spatial econometric model was estimated. The data come from population censuses conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) for the years 1991, 2000 and 2010.
Findings
The results show a decrease in multidimensional poverty over the period analysed. However, they show this reduction occurred in a heterogeneous way in time and space, with emphasis on microregions in which, despite a reduction in the rate, the percentage of the population considered multidimensionally poor remained high during the 30 years of the study.
Research limitations/implications
The quality of available data.
Practical implications
It is possible to point out that public policies focused on improving infrastructure in medium-sized locations tend to have two positive effects: first, making production and consumption more accessible and sustainable for local communities, given that currently the cost of transport and logistics are factors that hinder socioeconomic development; second, to reduce the pressure of demand that this population of small and medium-sized locations exerts on public services currently offered only in larger locations. Although the logic of concentrating most public services in the largest cities makes sense in terms of economic efficiency, the particularities of the northern region and the recognition of its environmental importance point to the need for incentives for more spatially distributed economic activity.
Social implications
From the paper results, it is possible to think about more local public policies which are able to improve people's lifes without to damage the environment.
Originality/value
This is the first study on multidimensional poverty that covers the entire North region of Brazil (Amazon region) and that contemplates both the temporal and spatial dynamics of poverty.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore how senior managers of independent hotels perceive the notion of corporate social responsibility (CSR) through a holistic analysis of motivations of undertaking both social and environmental initiatives.
Design/methodology/approach
This study conducts qualitative interviews with 22 Malaysian senior hotel managers together with ethnographic observations.
Findings
Emergent themes show that CSR is a dynamic concept involving complex struggles and trade-offs between fulfilling business objectives, paying heed to personal ethical values and considering cultural norms when making decisions regarding the adoption of a range of environmental and social initiatives.
Research limitations/implications
This study contributes to legitimacy theory by highlighting that in the absence of pressure from key stakeholders for responsible initiatives, managers still proactively engage in CSR initiatives. More surprising still is that they set expectations instead of simply aligning or responding to the key stakeholders’ pre-set demands. Meanwhile, the uniqueness, size and purposeful selection of the sample limit the applicability of the findings to wider geographical and cultural locations.
Practical implications
While Malaysian hotel managers are willing to use CSR practices to demonstrate their commitment to their employees and the local communities where they operate, it is equally important that they utilize other media (such as their websites or social media) for both promotional and legitimacy building purposes. Within the context of growing tourism for economic development, the Malaysian Government can develop more effective strategies, rewards or incentives for encouraging businesses to undertake and improve CSR adoption for sustainability of this industry.
Originality/value
By extending the scope of CSR studies beyond firm performance issues, we attempt to show the wider set of motivations and contexts considered important in determining hotel engagement in CSR programs.
