One of the aspects of SDIs with a lower progress is cost-benefits estimation. Very few studies of this type have been carried out, probably because their difficulty, due to among others causes: a good part of the benefits are intangible and difficult to quantify; the user of standard and open services becomes anonymous, contact is lost and it is difficult to know all the applications that take place; and economy is a discipline from which technicians who best knows an SDI are often far away. In this article a first, approximate but objective approach is made to estimate the annual benefits and costs of an SDI node. We talk about estimation because only approximations are handled and we can only talk about orders of magnitude. We have tried to evaluate roughly all the benefits of an SDI node indirectly, taking as reference the value per tile of the API of the most used web map provider. On the other hand, the costs of all expenses and investments that involve implementing and maintaining an SDI node in Spain have been quantified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Organizations should include social media marketing as a part of a digital marketing plan. Traditionally the benefits obtained from social media marketing have been associated with not economical ROI, i.e., social ROI (return on influence, return on relationships, return on collaboration, reputation, branding, etc.). This study addresses the use of digital marketing campaigns by libraries for social profitability, i.e., obtaining conversions to more readers and more circulation. Concepts related to digital marketing and social media marketing, and the way different types of organizations, business and libraries use them in order to get ROI, are reviewed. The marketing benefits for libraries are presented, along with three case studies about promotion and marketing campaigns in university libraries in Spain that show how libraries can improve and increase the use of their services and products beyond their expectations with a marketing campaign of only three months.

The wine sector in recent decades is experiencing a vertiginous process of changes and new dynamics that are affecting the performance and strategies of firms in the sector: growing internationalization, the fall in the domestic markets of traditional producing countries, the entrance of exogenous capital, etc. The expertise that a given organization demonstrates to adapt to the new situation will be reflected in profitability, the basic indicator for judging efficiency in business management. Starting from a representative sample of firms from Castilla-La Mancha, the greatest wineproducing region in the world, this paper poses a new econometric model consisting of the performance variables defined by the principal component technique. It is inferred from the results that business profitability comes from three variables. First is company structure with greater profitability for capitalist firms than for cooperatives. Second is size where performance is better the larger the size, taking advantage of scale economies. Third is financial structure with greater cost-effectiveness when the firm's make- up prioritizes its own resources and liquidity. On the contrary, the lack of permanent financing to address fixed assets and a trade dynamic orientated toward the sale of low-priced bulk wine significantly reduce profitability ratios.

The aim of this study is to analyze the profitability of companies forming collective brands in the Spanish wine sector. The central hypothesis is that collective brands may explain the profitability of their member wineries as collective reputation is a sign of quality that reduces consumer risk perceptions. The results obtained show that only some specific collective brands have a positive effect on the profitability of the wineries compared to those wineries that do not belong to these collective brands. Further, profitability is positively related to diversification into two or more collective brands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The implementation of quality systems provides internal and external benefits. This paper examines the relationship between the quality certification from the Institute for Spanish Tourism Quality in the performance and size of the hotel chains operating in Spain. This study shows that certification has a positive effect on the results and the size of the hotel chain is not a relevant factor to be certified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article considers the economic aspects of the tuna fisheries in Spain at the beginning of the 19th century. The author comments on the unreliable nature of the fisheries, many of which often operated at a loss. He analyzes the cases of a few of the successful fisheries, namely the Duque de Medina Sidonia en la Andalucía Occidental, the Rosas, and the Ceuta fisheries, which saw high yields and employed thousands. The impact of the restoration of Ferdinand VII to the throne in 1813 as well as the eventual government ownership of these tuna fisheries is also explored.

The particular nature of Spanish agrarian cooperatives makes it very difficult to carry out an exhaustive analysis of their internal management processes. Nevertheless, the great increase in competition in the European agrarian sector in recent years, mainly from Mediterranean countries, means that these organizations must improve their management information systems. The valuation of products provided by members for processing and marketing by the cooperative is one of the key issues in cooperative management theory. The aim of this study is to review the pricing and payment methods used by Spanish fruit and vegetable cooperatives and to identify the specific characteristics of each one in order to analyze and compare them.

Stock markets develop their activity in an each more competitive environment. The Spanish market, represented by Bolsas y Mercados Españoles (BME) company, is called to play a role of remarkable importance with the primary target of becoming a reference of yield and liquidity for investors and a source of financing for the companies. In this context new products and technological sources will allow the development of more transparent, faster and more effective markets. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
