    The Journey of Corporate Diversity in Tribal Times: Corporate Communities of Aspiration in MAPFRE
    (Springer, 2018-05-31) Anca, Celia de; Aragón, Salvador; Iñiguez, Santiago; Ichijo, Kazuo; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    Understanding diversity and its connection with identity in global organizations is particularly relevant at this moment in history, often described as tribal and whose driving force takes the form of a collective mindset, as illustrated by many terms that have recently entered into currency: co-creation, co-working, co-thinking or co-financing, along with working collectively, all key elements in the new forms of economic activity. The first step to correctly manage diversity is to understand what it means, as well as understand the different types of diversity that can be found in global organizations. This is covered in the first part of this chapter. We then move to the relationship between diversity and identity. Understanding identities helps us to use the existing tools correctly to effectively include diversity in corporate life. Next, we define how diversity fits in the new tribal context and how companies can use the emerging collective mindset as a driving force. The concept of collective individualism can help companies balance our desire for community with our individual needs. Finally, we describe the case of Spanish insurance company, MAPFRE, as an illustration of how corporate communities of aspiration can become a powerful tool for companies to channel the power of diversity into innovative energy.

    Diversidad y pensamiento tribal en organizaciones colaborativas
    (Tuners, 2015) Anca, Celia de; Aragón, Salvador; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    Los profesores Celia de Anca y Salvador Aragón examinan cómo la colaboración se ha convertido en una de las consignas de la era digital y cómo cocrear, cotrabajar, compartir, codiseñar y copensar son hoy elementos clave de una nueva modalidad de actividad económica. En esta economía colaborativa, las personas organizan cada vez más sus vidas sobre una base colectiva, mezclando vida laboral y personal y operando en pequeños grupos similares a los clanes tradicionales capaces de funcionar con igual facilidad estando próximos o remotos, como si lo global y lo local fueran un continuum. Esta mentalidad colectiva ha cambiado nuestra visión tradicional de la diversidad, que ahora incluye también identidades culturales nuevas donde lo determinante no es solo el origen, también las aspiraciones. De Anca y Aragón llaman a esto «comportamiento tribal» y sugieren cómo canalizarlo en actividad económica, integrándolo de paso en sistemas que exploran y explotan con éxito nuevos escenarios y modelos de negocio.

    Unveiling the Myth: A Causal Reassessment of Gender Diversity's Impact on Corporate Environmental Performance
    (2025-04-15) González, Ainara; Gabaldón, Patricia; Gelabert, Liliana; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    This study reassesses the impact of gender diversity in corporate boards on firms’ environmental performance, using a panel of 4,950 firm-year observation from Standard and Poor’s (S&P) 500 companies from 2010 to 2020. Using traditional econometric techniques such as Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Instrumental Variables (IV), we initially find strong evidence suggesting that appointing women to corporate boards enhances environmental performance. These results remain robust across different instruments, control variables, and fixed effects specifications. However, when employing a more rigorous causal identification strategy through Staggered and Honest Difference-in-Differences (DID) methodologies, we find no significant evidence supporting a causal relationship. Instead, our findings reveal that firms tend to adopt greener practices before appointing women directors, suggesting that corporate sustainability strategies and board gender diversity evolve concurrently rather than in a causally linked manner. Our results call for a reevaluation of the existing evidence on gender diversity and environmental performance and highlight the need for more robust causal methodologies in examining corporate governance and sustainability dynamics.

    The novel liquid learning system and the online gap in academic performance
    (Routledge, 2021-10-08) González, Ainara; Alegría, Rodrigo; Cárabe, Pablo; Chahoud, Alejandro; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    This research considers the innovative educational strategy known as the liquid learning system, which allows students attending classes either online or face-to-face. This system was implemented for the first time at a private European university in 2020 as a reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic. Emphasis is placed on the effect of the online choice on student academic performance. Using Instrumental Variables to control for self-selection bias, our findings show a significant gap in the form of lower grades for online students. Quantile regressions reveal that those in the lower tail of the grade distribution are the most adversely affected
