This article has two main objectives. First, it reviews the different theories about Mobile Communication over the most recent decades, observing their evolution from those clearly anchored in technological determinism to those that begin to take into consideration social influences. Second, it aspires to present a new model for analyzing mobile communication, inspired in the ideas of Erving Goffman and Randall Collins, and using the previously presented proposals of Richard Ling and others, centered on the idea of the "ritual of interaction." The author shows how different rituals of interaction (both in person and at a distance) are used simultaneously in mobile communication and how "rights to communicational preferences" are negotiated in differing ways according to the characteristics of the social context in which the interaction takes place.

ABSTRACT: The main distinguishing feature between conventional capitalist enterprises and cooperatives is that the purpose of the latter is based on specific values and principles that can be the key factor in business success. However, are they still the cornerstones in the management of large-scale cooperatives like those of second or third degree, or are they being distorted? This paper focuses on a case study, analyzing the application of the co-operative principles by a successful cooperative, Hojiblanca Sociedad Cooperativa Andaluza, to illustrate and clarify the key elements of participatory management in larger cooperatives.

Currently, there is great interest in the participation of women in decision-making, as different studies show that the presence of women in management influences the improvement of the company's sustainability. This paper contributes to a better understanding of the characteristics of female leadership in agri-food cooperatives through a reference case study in Spain. The aim has been to analyse the process of women's access to the board of directors, the characteristics of their leadership and the influence that their leadership has on business sustainability, measured through its three ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) components. The results indicate that women join the board after demonstrating their professional skills to the members. Their leadership can be defined as transformational and is supported by the cooperative culture. It also shows that there is a positive relationship between women in leadership positions and the improvement of sustainability in agri-food cooperatives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The human resources management plays an important role in the search for the company's competitiveness. Career management is among the department's main roles, a task that has become quite a challenge recently for staff due to changing patterns in the sector. Traditional designs based solely on internal promotion have given way to new models such as the Protean Career, Kaleidoscope and Boundaryless Career models. In these models, development is seen from a broader and more complex perspective. This paper analyses these three models and performs an empirical study of the Boundaryless Career model on a sample of 560 Spanish companies to compare its effectiveness. The results show a positive effect of this model on the professionals and organisations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
