Promoting hotel innovation with social media use
Service innovation has turned to be essential for hotels, to cope with current turbulent environment and quickly adapt to customers changing needs. To maintain competitiveness, hotels need to differentiate from competitors, improving existing services or offering new ones, creating memorable experiences for customers. To enhance innovation, hospitality firms are increasingly engaging customers in co-creation activities, to capture valuable knowledge, and crowdsource ideas. Additionally, absorptive capacity is emphasized as a significant antecedent of innovation activity in the tourism and hospitality industry. It is defined as the firm’s ability to identify, acquire, and use external knowledge to generate competitive products. Consequently, this organizational capability is emphasized as a key driver of service innovation. Moreover, today travel has become inherently technological, and tourism activity is powered by social media tools. These platforms facilitate connectivity, information sharing, and consumer generated content. The emergence of social media not only has transformed customer relations but is also changing internal firm processes such as innovation. However, despite the relevance of the topic, as tourism is one of the main economic activities in Spain, empirical evidence about the main antecedents of service innovation in hotels remain scarce. To extend knowledge on the issue, in the current study we empirically examine how social media use can foster service innovation, analysing also the role of customer co-creation and absorptive capacity in this phenomenon. Results confirm how service innovation has become a strategic priority for hotels to face current changing markets. Findings provide a holistic understanding of the chain of effects that leads to innovativeness when using social media, and offer relevant implications for academics and hotel managers.Universidad de Málaga.

Optimum control of broadband noise by arrays of cylindrical units made of a recycled material
[EN] We report acoustic barriers that are designed to attenuate efficiently broadband noise. The barriers are structures consisting of only three layers of cylindrical units containing rubber crumb, a sound absorbing material obtained from recycling used tires. An optimization algorithm is developed to obtain the material distribution and dimensions of the building units giving the best attenuation properties for traffic noise, which is here chosen as an example in which the design procedure is applied. A good agreement is found between predictions and measurements for a 3 m height barrier that has been characterized in a transmission room. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Social Media Use, Corporate Entrepreneurship and Organizational Resilience: A Recipe for SMEs Success in a post-Covid Scenario
This work work was supported by projects from the University of Granada (Spain) [grant number:
PP2022.PP.11]; the Andalusian Regional Government [grant number: P20_00568]; and the European Regional
Development Fund [grant numbers: B-SEJ-042-UGR18, A-SEJ-192-UGR20].The strategic use of social media tools facilitates firms' entrepreneurial capabilities, enabling them to
become more innovative, increasing their proactivity, and helping them to renew themselves
internally. In today's turbulent landscape, organizational resilience has emerged as a key variable for
responding to external challenges and facing uncertainty. In this context, our study aims to analyze the
role of social media use as an antecedent of corporate entrepreneurship and firm performance in
Spanish SMEs, while also examining the mediating role of organizational resilience in this process.
Analyzing data from a sample of 259 firms, we tested our proposed hypotheses using structural
equation modeling. The results confirm that use of social media tools positively impacts the
entrepreneurial capabilities of the SMEs examined. The findings also stress the strategic relevance of
organizational resilience, which exerts a perfect mediating impact on firm performance. These
findings have significant implications for managers, as they show the path managers must take to
benefit from social media use, become more entrepreneurial and resilient, and achieve business
success in these turbulent times.University of Granada (Spain) PP2022.PP.11Andalusian Regional Government P20_00568European Regional Development Fund B-SEJ-042-UGR18, A-SEJ-192-UGR2
Fostering Corporate Entrepreneurship with the use of social media tools.
The strategic use of Social Media can leverage innovation, relationships with customers, and the
entrepreneurial orientation of the firm, as it provides useful knowledge to find new
opportunities for innovation. Despite the relevance of this phenomenon to current hypercompetitive
environments, empirical research on the topic remains scarce. To advance
knowledge of this issue, the main purpose of the paper is to examine how Social Media use
impacts the different dimensions of Corporate Entrepreneurship. Building on a sample of 201
technological firms, findings confirm that the use of Social Media tools impacted all dimensions
of Corporate Entrepreneurship and enhanced firm performance. This paper contributes to the
literature by empirically confirming how Social Media use helps to create business value. The
study results also have important implications for managers, as they show the pathway
managers must follow to harness the benefits of Social Media use to become more
entrepreneurial.This work was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Competitiveness

The missing link: Creating value with Social Media use in hotels
Social Media has transformed the way firms relate to the market. Hotels all over the world are increasingly
using these tools, integrating them into their Customer Relationship Management (CRM) strategies to
engage customers in active conversations. The use of Social Networking and Review Sites like Tripadvisor
has become all pervasive, and hotels are investing large sums of money in engaging customers via Social
Media. However, there is a certain degree of skepticism about how these technologies can help to create
value. To shed light on the topic, based on a sample of 222 Spanish hotels, this study examines the real
impact of Social Media use, showing the key role played by Social CRM capabilities in the process of value
creation with these tools. By building on the Resource-based theory, the proposed model shows the pathway
between Social Media use and organizational performance, in terms of profitability, sales and customer
retention.We thank the anonymous reviewers for their valuable input in the review of this article and the public funding of the projects P11-SEJ-7988 and ECO2017-88222
Juegos Educativos en matemáticas. Análisis de su idoneidad didáctica.
En este trabajo se mostrarán las principales características para la introducción del juego como metodología en un aula de educación primaria, especialmente en el ámbito de las matemáticas. Para ello, se presentará el concepto de Juego Educativo de Matemáticas (JEM), justificando la importancia, beneficios y pertinencia o no, de estos en el sistema educativo actual.También, se presentan seis diferentes JEM, donde se explicitan todas sus características fundamentales; normas, objetivos, contenidos curriculares, etc. Además, utilizaremos una serie de criterios que permitirán conocer cada juego a fondo con la intención de poder llevarlos al aula de modo correcto.El núcleo del trabajo, se basará en analizar los diferentes JEM, utilizando como herramienta el análisis de los mismos atendiendo a su idoneidad didáctica (Godino, Batanero y Font, 2007). Esta herramienta presenta seis diferentes idoneidades; epistémica, cognitiva, afectiva, interaccional, mediacional y ecológica y una serie de componentes e indicadores que cada JEM deberá cumplir para poder ser adecuado.Posteriormente, se analizará la idoneidad de seis JEM cuyo resultado queda mostrado finalmente en forma hexagonal.Por último, se exponen las conclusiones obtenidas, comparando los objetivos previamente marcados y una breve reflexión global de lo que ha significado este trabajo personalmente. <br /
