by organizations operating in Ibero-America. Scholars are invited to explore how firms
respond to issues such as climate change, inequality, resource scarcity, macroeconomic
volatility, and community development pressures. Research examining corporate

This track examines how academic research can meaningfully inform managerial practice
and support evidence-based decision-making in Ibero-American organizations. It
invites submissions that bridge theory and practice, offering insights into how research
findings can be effectively transferred to firms, policymakers, and communities. Topics
may include mechanisms for knowledge dissemination, collaborations between

This track focuses on the interplay between entrepreneurial activity and the networks
that enable business creation and growth within Ibero America. Given the diversity
of economic conditions and institutional frameworks across the region, networks—

knowledge, and opportunities. Submissions are encouraged to investigate how
entrepreneurs navigate these ecosystems, how social and professional ties influence
entrepreneurial outcomes, and how regional dynamics stimulate or constrain new
venture creation and scaling.

By analyzing the strategic, emotional, and relational dynamics embedded in family firms, this track aims to deepen understanding of how these enterprises innovate, adapt, and contribute to regional development.
