Resumen
This research studies the international competitiveness of three Caribbean islands: Puerto Rico (PR), Dominican Republic (DR), and Haiti (HT). The methodology used was Cho’s nine-factor model, which evaluated 38 competitiveness indicators for each country divided into human and physical factors. Weighted average analysis was used to give more relevance to the values related to the time of covid-19. This is pioneering work for the Caribbean, serving as a consultative tool for politicians, entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, and professors. We found two indicators with opposite trends between PR and DR, starting with the factor of female employers, where PR holds the first place, followed by GDP growth, where DR dominates. PR turned out to be the best economic system to have companies adapted to the remote work modality. In contrast, HT turned out to be the nation with the greatest competitive disadvantage.

Resumen
The Digital Revolution (or Fourth Industrial Revolution) has caused a lot of changes throughout the 21st century in the labor market. These modifications were taking place gradually and went unnoticed until Covid-19 accelerated them and made them more visible. The main objective of this paper is to conduct an updated research on the effects that Covid-19 and the Digital Revolution have caused in the labor market, using appropriate tools to obtain valuable information that serves as an effective reference and guide for organizations and companies. This paper is composed around four fundamental axes: the need for continuous training of workers, the implementation of teleworking, the automation of processes, and the four-day workweek. These changes are studied from the work environment and applicable to any free market economy.

Resumen
In a world that is constantly changing, organizational success is not guaranteed. This study explored how organizations pertaining to the food industry in Puerto Rico adapted to change and overcame the most recent events on the island, such as hurricanes Irma and María, the chain of tremors in January 2020, and the COVID-19 pandemic. After performing several in-depth interviews, findings show that four out of the five characteristics of adaptive leadership were present in at least 50% of the participating companies, which resulted in a successful adaptation. Differences within company sizes were found, and a profile of adaptive leadership in the context of Puerto Rico was developed.

Resumen
The covid-19 crisis has had a strong impact on entrepreneurship activity worldwide. This exploratory study analyzes the effects of the pandemic in an economy with a particularly low rate of entrepreneurial activity, Puerto Rico, using data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). The impact here has been very pronounced, both in the indicators of new entrepreneurial activity and in those of business closures. Similarly, the new initiatives respond to a growth in identifying opportunities and a fall in household income. The conclusions point to issues that need to be addressed in future research, to understand if these changes are only circumstantial and the effect of specific public policy measures.

Resumen
The bitcoin appeared in 2008, to transfer value at a low cost and decentralized from some authority, which is exchanged over the internet through technological devices that are commonly used worldwide. Today, its use has been popularized, with constant changes in its price. However, this has not been the case in Latin America since few people know about it and use it. For this reason, two strategies obtained from a documentary review are shown, which can boost its popularity in Latin America. First, position it among the public through acquiring minimum units of bitcoin, called satoshis by preferring to handle whole numbers than decimals; and the other, to consolidate it to transfer value to other actors located in different parts of the planet, at low cost, immediately and regardless of the local currency among the participants.

Resumen
This study examines the scope and determinants of firm registration among employer firms of White-owned businesses (WOBs) and Latino-owned businesses (LOBs) in the US. The primary data is derived from the 2020 Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative nationally representative survey of 3,500 WOBs and 4,145 LOBs. The determinants of firm registration are derived from entrepreneur demographics and firm characteristics, utilizing a binomial logistic regression to predict the odds of group membership of (un)registered employer firms. The scope of firm registration reveals about 80% of employer firms are registered. LOBs and immigrant-owned firms outpace registration levels of WOBs and native-owned businesses. Larger employer firms by annual sales and number of employees are more likely to be registered than their smaller business counterparts.

Resumen
There is an interest from scholars and practitioners in understanding how nonprofit organizations (NPOs) can design and implement practices to enhance desirable volunteer attitudes and behaviors (Alfes et al., 2017). One important attitude is volunteers’ organizational commitment (OC). This research aims to identify factors that diminish volunteers’ OC and suggest effective ways to deal with them, which lead to NPOs performance improvement. This is achieved through a single case study in a Puerto Rican non-profit organization, which consists of in-depth interviews and self-administered questionnaires on psychological contract violation Five categories of factors that negatively affect volunteers’ OC were identified and analyzed: organizational structure, communication, recognition, strategic planning, and conflict management. General actions were provided to help NPOs deal with similar issues.

Resumen
The connections between companies called board interlock allow to obtain resources and create relationships. This practice, whether intentional or not, generates connections that involve the strategic core of the company. Thus, there is a channel for the flow of strategic information, even between competitors. Previous studies have identified the creation of these connections, but without exploring them at the level of individuals. Through an analysis of social networks (n=2184), results have been presented that help to identify different national contexts (the United States and Germany), where interpersonal networks have similar structures, although inter-organizational networks are structurally different. This finding is essential to map the control over the flow of strategic information. Finally, a new role of intermediation in triads is identified from the contextual analysis of the figure of the broker in a board interlock relationship.

Resumen
This work aims to update the attributes of the Benjaminian flâneur, taking into account the aesthetic experience of contemporary urbanism, which is characterised by the consequences of neoliberal urbanistic policies implemented between the second half of the XX century and the present day. The deregulatory measures enforced on urban land have led to the expansion of gentrified downtown lanscapes in every global city and a suburbial periphery occupied by the middle class’ residences. By analizying a compilation of landscaping films produced between 1980 and 2005 - works that fit somewhere between the categories of experimental cinema and documentary film - this article intends to define what effects this new type of architecture has in the psyche of the new “neoliberal” flâneur, the essence of which cannot possibly be the same as that Walter Benjamin defined when he rescued the archetype from Baudelaire about a century ago, since the capitalist invasion of social gathering centres has nowadays reached entirely new heights.
