Abstract(s)
The 1st International Conference on Management, Technology, and Tourism: Social Value Creation (ICOMTT2020), which took place on 6 and 7 of February, 2020, emerged as an outcome of the Volto Já Project - Senior Exchange Program, developed by Instituto Politécnico de Santarém, Instituto Politécnico de Beja, and Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Santarém.
During those two days, the ICOMTT2020 provided an opportunity for national and international researchers, academics, experts, entrepreneurs, and community leaders, to exchange and share their experiences, results and deepen the debate on social value creation.
Value creation is a cornerstone of corporate sustainability, but it is not enough. The challenges of the next decades require a change in the dominant paradigm for the creation of social value that is the guarantee of the regions' sustainability. This paradigm shift will be analysed and debated thoroughly according to the major areas of ICOMTT2020: Management, Technology, and Tourism.
This e-book presents diverse articles, all outputs from the Volto Já project and ICOMTT2020.
The first article, entitled Volto Já - Senior Exchange Program: From idea to implementation, aims to present the main outputs of the Volto Já project. In this article, the authors organize the results obtained in the project around the three areas, management, technology, and tourism, with special emphasis on the participation of 24 seniors and six social economy organizations in the test of senior exchanges.
The second article, entitled The role of social tourism in the satisfaction of elderly customers: the case of the Volto Já project, seeks to capture the perceived value given by the elderly to participation in social tourism programmes, and the link between the social tourism experience and their satisfaction as customers of social welfare services.
The third article, entitled Industry 4.0 and Knowledge Management practices, has as main objective to highlight the role of the technologies that support Industry 4.0 in facilitating the knowledge management process. The article outlines how Industry 4.0’s components are useful to overcome several stages of the process and improve the performance of the organization.
The fourth article, entitled A systematic literature review of the quality of working life and employee outcomes, presents a systematic literature review regarding the consequences of quality of working life. The results show how a higher level of quality of life at work can improve several relevant employee outcomes at work. Organizational commitment was found to be the most relevant employee outcome. Other core outcomes are job satisfaction, turnover intention, and burnout.
The fifth article, entitled Comparison of the level of disclosure of elements of statement of financial position of the PSI-20 entities, aims to analyse the levels of disclosure of the components of the statement of financial position following International Accounting Standard 1, through the compliance indices found for the companies of the Portuguese Stock Index (PSI 20).
The sixth and final article, entitled Youth's education for social entrepreneurship: Outcomes and pitfalls of an applied project, aims to analyse the impact of an educational project aiming to create social value through governance mentoring. The project consisted of designing an original programme for the curricular unit “Citizenship and Development” and applied it to a Portuguese group of students enrolled in a school of basic education.
Social value creation can be achieved in various ways, mainly by integrating contributions from different scientific areas, such as management, technology, and tourism. In this e-book three of the articles show how to increase social value through applied projects. In this context, the role of the Volto Já project is highlighted, not only for proposing a social business model, but also for contributing to active ageing, reducing social inequalities, and improving the quality of life of the elderly.
