PurposeThis article explores the influence of education and experience on the time to the top in family and non-family CEOs who work for Latin American family firms.Design/methodology/approachIn order to achieve these objectives, this study draws upon human capital theory as well as career and family firm literature. The careers of 129 CEOs of family firms who form part of the América Economía ranking were analyzed and quantitative methods were used.FindingsIn Latin American family firms, family CEOs reach the top faster than their non-family counterparts. In addition, the influence of human capital variables on the way to the top differs between the two groups. For family CEOs, obtaining a graduate degree delays the way to the top, while for non-family ones, it reduces the time to the top. As regards experience, for promoted family CEOs, the greater the percentage of the career spent in the organization they lead, the shorter the time to the top. No support was found for either the influence of having worked for just one firm or having had elite graduate education abroad, in multilatina CEOs.Practical implicationsIndividual career management suggestions for future CEOs as well as specific guidelines for talent managers are proposedOriginality/valueThis is the first study to explore the influence of human capital indicators on the time to the top in Latin American family firm CEOs.

This paper proposes that widening participation in higher education might distinctively be conceptualised beyond economically driven human capital outcomes, as a matter of widening capability. Specifically, the paper proposes forming the capability of students to become and to be 'strong evaluators', able to make reflexive and informed choices about what makes a good life for each of them. Evaluating equality and justice in higher education, and specifically the case of 'widening participation', is then greatly advanced by considering the conceptual tools provided by Amartya Sen's capability approach. The paper therefore elaborates on Sen's ideas and demonstrates their applicability in relation to widening participation student voices gathered in research interviews. Important though Sen's ideas are, there are barriers that stand in the way of taking up these ideas educationally. While three such barriers are acknowledged in the paper, four resources of possibility for recovering widening participation as capability formation from neoliberal and other forms of instrumentalism are also sketched.

This article examines Michel Foucault’s critical investigation of neoliberalism in the course published as Naissance de la biopolitique: Cours au Collège de France, 1978-1979. Foucault’s lectures are interrogated along two axes. First, examining the way in which neoliberalism can be viewed as a particular production of subjectivity, as a way in which individuals are constituted as subjects of “human capital.” Secondly, Foucault’s analyses is augmented and critically examined in light of other critical work on neoliberalism by Wendy Brown, David Harvey, Christian Laval, Maurizo Lazzarato, and Antonio Negri. Of these various debates and discussions, the paper argues that the discussion of real subsumption in Marx and Negri is most important for understanding the specific politics of neoliberalism. Finally, the paper argues that neoliberalism entails a fundamental reexamination of the tools of critical thought, an examination of how freedom can constitute a form of subjection.

ResumoO advento da globalização, especificamente, no que se refere à esfera empresarial permitiu a adoção de importantes mudanças em se tratando da gestão administrativa das empresas. Tais mudanças se referem, principalmente, à forma como se encaram as pessoas que compõem as empresas. Acredita-se que sejam as pessoas a parte essencial de todas as empresas. Este artigo pretendeu discutir sobre a importância das pessoas, bem como de saber qual a forma de lidar com elas e como isto pode influenciar, positiva ou negativamente, nos resultados das empresas. Assim, observa-se que para gerir as pessoas não se deve ter apenas visão mecanicista ou mesmo metódica, é necessário que se discuta e compreendam as diferenças existentes entre técnicas obsoletas antigas e as modernas, que atuam conjuntamente com uma gestão eficaz. Precisa ser resgatado o papel que o ser humano representa dentro das organizações quanto a sua atuação nas atividades que executa como colaboradores dentro das empresas. Tal atitude, por parte das organizações, lhes permitirá ver que o capital humano poderá ser o seu grande diferencial em se tratando de competitividade. Diante do exposto, o artigo foi desenvolvido baseado em diversas literaturas bibliográficas, apresentando uma análise da importância da gestão de pessoas para as organizações, bem como demonstrar o quanto elas possuem um reflexo positivo nos resultados finais das empresas. Afinal, quando uma gestão de pessoas é eficaz, aliada ao processo de gestão da inovação e conhecimento terá condição de garantir muitas vantagens competitivas, que podem ser difíceis ou mesmo impossíveis de serem copiadas pelas empresas concorrentes. Palavras-chave: Empresa. Gestão de Pessoas. Globalização. Resultado. AbstractThe advent of globalization, specifically regarding the business sphere, has allowed the adoption of important changes in the companies administrative management. These changes are mainly related to the way the people who make up the companies are viewed. It is believed that people are the essential part of all businesses. This article aimed to discuss the people’s importance as well as to know how to deal with them and how this can influence positively or negatively in the companies' results. Thus, it should be noted that in order to manage people one should not only have a mechanistic or even methodical view, it is necessary to discuss and understand the differences between old and modern obsolete techniques that work together with effective management. The role needs to be rescued that the human being represents within the organizations as to their performance in the activities that perform as collaborators within the companies. Such an attitude on the part of the organizations will allow them to see that human capital can be their great differential when it comes to competitiveness. Considering the above, the article sought based on several bibliographical literatures, present an analysis of the importance of people management for organizations, as well as demonstrate how they have a positive reflection on the companies' final results. After all, when people management is effective, allied to the process of managing innovation and knowledge will be able to guarantee many competitive advantages that may be difficult or even impossible to be copied by the competing companies.

AbstractHuman capital has an impact on economic growth by several channels. This study presents a conceptual research model that we built starting from the economic increase models which explain the way in which the revenue per inhabitant was created taking into account mechanisms, channels and influence factors. I applied this model to the member states of the European Union and the results obtained confirmed the existence of some positive effects of human capital - expressed through education - on economic growth.

Abstract Communities of nationals living abroad are attracting the interest of sending countries, which are paying increasing attention to the way in which emigrants connect with their origin and the potential benefits of it. Focusing on the case of Colombia and analysing the initiatives under the Colombia Nos Une Program, this article examines the role that the proactive attitude of institutional actors is playing in the potential engagement of migrants with their country of origin and the creation of a transnational citizenship. Colombia, as a sending country, is looking at their emigrants in an attempt to take advantage of their economic and human capital in order to improve its development through networks of knowledge, entrepreneurship and socio-cultural initiative. An increasing knowledge of the way policies of origin are implemented and the impact they have on the migrants’ lives will give a more comprehensive framework to understand the effects of a transnational life and to conceptualize a transnational citizenship.

This chapter identifies the drivers and challenges of the fourth industrial revolution. The fourth industrial revolution consists of artificial intelligence, big data, robotics, and many others technological innovations. The recent transformation in the global environment is affecting the way businesses are conducted, managed, and the way governments and societies are run. Today, business analysts are faced with the challenge of managing both human and digital workforce effectively without making any stakeholder in the business environment worse off. Hence, human capital management in the fourth industrial revolution involves effective development and deployment of human resources, artificial intelligence, and robotics to achieve organisational goals and objectives. It is expected that the principles underlying human capital management—planning, staffing, development, compensation, and investment in digital workforce—will become more intense and complex.

AbstractThe problem of extended fusion and identification can be approached from a diachronic perspective. Based on our own research, as well as findings from the fields of social, political, and clinical psychology, we argue that the way contemporary emotional events shape local fusion is similar to the way in which historical experiences shape extended fusion. We propose a reciprocal process in which historical events shape contemporary identities, whereas contemporary identities shape interpretations of past traumas.
