This study investigates the posting strategies of CEOs of Latin American companies on LinkedIn and their impact on engagement. It examines activity levels and types of presence, and engagement rates. Based on a quantitative analysis, the results reveal that executives in this region have a significantly lower frequency of posting on LinkedIn compared to the averages recommended by experts. Regarding the type of presence, CEOs are “content creators” and mainly post their own content. The engagement analysis shows discrepancies between own and hybrid posts. Due to the originality of own content, it receives better engagement rates than hybrid posts. The findings reveal that most Latin American CEOs adopt a “passive funnel” posting strategy on LinkedIn, which is characterized by low activity and own content. It is striking that CEOs with a more passive approach tend to have higher engagement rates compared to those with a more active approach. From these findings it is clear that, although authentic content generates interaction, CEOs should take advantage of the potential of shared publications, which are characterized by fostering dialogue based on content with diverse perspectives, a particular feature of the actors and institutions of the business environment. This research assesses the potential of CEOs as institutional communicators and provides methodological guidelines for academics and professionals in charge of the publication strategies of organizations and managers in the region.

This article addresses the underrepresentation of Global South scholars in Global North journals. In order to explore this issue, we conducted a study on the submission decisions of Global South scholars, with a focus on International Relations (IR). We collected novel data on IR scholars based in Latin America and conducted a conjoint experiment on a sample of 446 scholars. Our study provides the first experimental evidence of journal submission choice in Political Science in the Global South. Our findings indicate that both journal attributes and individual characteristics impact the choice of journal, including factors such as language, editorial location, and acceptance rates. This research has important implications for the discipline and for journal editors in the Global North, as it provides valuable insights on how to promote diversity in academic publishing as well as the limits of such strategies.

In the contemporary world, Decoloniality is both a way of thinking and a practice which contributes in a significant and direct manner to the long struggle of indigenous peoples to free themselves from the colonial order, and to regain their own cultures and ancient territories. Among the many facets of this struggle in Latin America, the native artistic expressions stand out as part of the cultural revitalization movement. This article analyses briefly the theoretical, historical, and ideological contexts of this decolonial movement, focusing on the emergence of a Mayan literature, and with its spirit aimed to transgress the hegemonic literary canon.

The study aimed to compare entrepreneurial self-efficacy and psychological well-being as well as the relationships between these constructs in Brazilian and Argentinean female entrepreneurs. A total of 404 women participated in a survey during a development program at two universities located on the border. The results point to several similarities, which can promote rapprochement and development, and differences, which, if not managed assertively, can lead to conflicts. The results demonstrate associations between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and psychological well-being, thereby expanding the entrepreneurship literature. This study develops the understanding of motivation in entrepreneurial cognition, redefines entrepreneurial success, boaden the scope of women's entrepreneurial role in this border region, and identifies elements to promote cooperation between female entrepreneurs in both countries. From a managerial point of view, the research shows the need for managers to be aware of cultural differences in everyday actions and negotiations within these territories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
