A Latin American Perspective of Digital Transformation and Innovation in Organizations: An Introduction
(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2025)
Velázquez-Salazar, Marisol
;
Terán-Bustamante, Antonia
Digital transformation is a key component of an organization’s transformation strategy. The right technologies, people, processes, and operations allow organizations to respond faster to a changing market, adapt, take advantage of opportunities, innovate, and generate value and competitive advantages. This paper discusses the Digital Transformation (DT) in Latin America, highlighting its accelerated growth due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the digital divide and inequalities between sectors, with some industries advancing faster than others. The document emphasizes the need for human-centric approaches to DT and the importance of public policies to ensure equitable access and protection. It also examines different authors’ definitions and perspectives on DT, emphasizing the importance of data-driven processes and the role of digital capabilities in organizational success. ©The authors ©Springer.

Intersection of Banking, Social Welfare, and Digital Transformation: The Mexican Case, a Latin American Perspective
(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2025)

The banking system has been instrumental in developing economies throughout history, as it has effectively directed the funds collected from their clients’ savings and investments into productive activities of individuals and enterprises, financed consumer goods and current expenditures, housing and infrastructure projects, and provided market liquidity. However, in Latin America and amid digital transformation, banks face the dual challenge of modernizing operations while addressing socio-economic disparities. This study shows that fluctuations in operational measurements of top Mexican banks significantly affect changes in the widely used global measure of social welfare, the Human Development Index. We evaluated findings by using a machine learning prediction model and a panel data estimation, and underline how digital transformation in banking using emerging technologies to increase public access to financial services, especially credit loans for marginalized populations, can improve customer experience and financial inclusion to exploit this correlation. This approach provides a framework for understanding the potential of digital technologies to drive competitive advantages and social benefits across Latin America. ©The authors ©Springer.

Promoting Identities: An Overview of the Development of Nation Branding in Latin America
(UK Zhende Publishing Limited Company, 2024)
Azpíroz, María-Luisa

Rodríguez-Espínola, Amanda
;
Jiménez-Martínez, César
This study analyzes and compares nation branding strategies implemented by Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, since their first initiatives until 2020. Literature on nation branding in the countries under study is explored. The strategies implemented by each country were analyzed and compared. Argentina maintained a strategy focused on tourism but underwent logo and institutional changes. Brazil sought to stand out as a technological and innovative country. Chile focused on promoting investments and exports while creating a national identity. Colombia promoted international and domestic tourism, aiming to improve its international image and citizens self-esteem. Mexico maintained its logo and strategy of promoting tourism, investments, and exports until the dissolution of ProMexico under López Obrador’s administration. Peru maintained a strategy focused on tourism and gastronomy. During their first two decades, nation branding in Latin America has been characterized by, firstly, being strongly associated with the interests of governments in power. Secondly, by having authorities as main actors, often to the detriment of citizens’ perspectives. Finally, nation branding strategies in Latin America have privileged limited versions of national identity that have been perceived as appealing for international markets. ©The authors © Review of Communication Research (RCR) - All Rights Reserved.

Self-Enhancement in Latin America: Is It Linked to Interdependence?
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2025)

Although individuals of Latin American heritage ( Latin Americans in short) are considered interdependent, they also value traits like uniqueness and positivity, like individuals of European American cultural heritage, who are considered independent. It remains unclear whether this inclination toward positivity extends to a bias in self-perception known as self-enhancement. Moreover, if Latin Americans are indeed self-enhancing, it is uncertain how these tendencies align with their interdependent cultural orientation. In this article, we report three studies ( N = 1,246) with three operationalizations of self-enhancement. We found that Mexicans, Colombians, and Ecuadorians show self-enhancement that is mostly similar in magnitude to European Americans. Notably, Study 3 found that self-enhancement is related to interdependence in Latin America: Unlike European Americans, Latin Americans in Ecuador exhibited stronger self-enhancement when interdependence is primed rather than independence. Our findings suggest that among Latin American individuals, self-enhancement not only exists but also reinforces interdependence. ©The authors ©Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin

Transpacific Integration and Open Regionalism: The Case of Singapore as Associated State of the Pacific Alliance
(Nurimedia Co. Ltd., 2024)
Fonseca, Fabricio A.
;
Sanchez Orozco, Miriam L.
The Transpacific integration process is entering its third decade, and it encompasses a vast number of economic agreements and a wide range of actors on both sides of the Pacific. In the side of Latin America, the Pacific Alliance (PA) and its member states have been identified as using the concept of open regionalism to maximize their integration efforts, not only between themselves, but also with their counterparts in the Asia-Pacific. With the introduction of the category of Associated State, the PA founding members (Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru) have been able to add a new dimension to this Transpacific integration process. In 2022, Singapore was the first country to receive that category after finalizing negotiations for a free trade agreement with all the Alliance members. Other candidates are Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and more recently, South Korea. This article intends to trace the process of Singapore’s partnership with the PA, exploring the different motivations and features of economic ties between both sides of this new development. Therefore, through the observation of qualitative data and descriptive statistics, we suggest that it is possible to move beyond material incentives and drives, and emphasize elements such as shared values and ideas, in order to better comprehend the decision of those actors in coming together and continue promoting notions associated with a liberal and multilateral trading system, as a preferred model for Transpacific cooperation. ©The authors ©Nurimedia Co.

Malcher, Flavio
Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula is a severe complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy. Using an externalized pancreatic stent is a potential mitigation strategy not previously studied in Latin America. Methods: Pancreaticoduodenectomies performed in a single center between 2006 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical variables were collected with a 90-day follow-up according to stent intervention: externalized stent (ES), internal stent (IS), or no stent. Before and after ES implementation (2016) periods were also compared. ©The authors ©The American Journal of Surgery (AJS) © Elsevier.

Darwinism in the Second Half of the Nineteenth Century in Latin America
(2014)
Velázquez Fernández, Héctor
The chapter explains about the Darwinism in the second half of the nineteenth century could be framed according to Thomas Glick's models. Glick suggests that the main attitudes of scientific communities or other social groups towards new ideas could be: a combination of anxiety and opposition, or a combination of acceptance and adaptation. It is important to mention from the outset, that the circumstances of the reception of Darwinism in Peru reflect the Latin American environment in the second half of the nineteenth century: a lack of resources, a small scientific community and a low esteem in scientific fields. Since no detailed studies in favour of or against Darwinism appeared before the twentieth century, press articles were the space for the discussion of Darwinism in Mexico during the late nineteenth century. Thus the chapter briefly explains and analyses the characteristic features of the Darwinism in several South American countries, ending with a short reflection on the attitudes towards Darwinism. © Routledge

Early surveys in Latin America and transnational communication research, 1941–1945 : Cantril's discontinued legacy in the Americas
(2019)
Navarro Arroyo, Mariano
;
Ortiz Garza, José Luis
This article examines the history of survey and communication research in Latin America. Aiming to contribute to a more robust transnational history of communication research in the American continent we examine the works of Nelson Rockefeller's OIAA (Office of Inter-American Affairs) and Hadley Cantril in several Latin American countries. We argue that, despite the importance of these early studies, they are not considered in the official history of communication because they failed to leave institutional traces in Latin America and also due to the fact that transnational archival work has only seldom been considered an important source in Latin American history of communication. © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
