    Products made from recycled materials: perceptions in the fashion industry and risks influence on purchasing
    (Palgrave Macmillan, 2025-03-13) Toquero-Iriarte, Maite; Aramendia Muneta, María Elena; Gestión de Empresas; Enpresen Kudeaketa; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE
    This study investigates the impact of the fashion industry on the environment and the subsequent shift towards a more sustainable model. The ecological, economic, and social implications of this sector have fostered an increase in consumer awareness, prompting a demand for a more circular system. The concept of circular fashion, which promotes a closed-loop approach with an emphasis on recycled materials, has emerged as a key solution. However, the consumer perceptions of products made from recycled materials in the fashion industry remains relatively unexplored, necessitating an examination of potential barriers. By employing both model analysis and cluster analysis techniques, this research sheds light on the primary variables that significantly influence consumer attitudes and purchase intentions towards such products with a particular emphasis on performance risk. Moreover, the identification of four distinct consumer groups holds crucial implications for the development of targeted marketing strategies.

    Rebranding Barbie: analyzing the 2023 live-action film's promotional impact and public perception
    (IGI Global, 2025) Condearena González, Itxaso; Aramendia Muneta, María Elena; Gestión de Empresas; Enpresen Kudeaketa; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE
    This chapter analyzes the promotional campaign of the 2023 live- action Barbie film through qualitative and quantitative methods, examining the brand's history and industry leadership. The study explores the different promotional campaigns carried out for the film and the audience's response. Similarly, it investigates the public opinion on Barbie and the movie's impact on it. The analysis results indicate that the film and its marketing efforts improved public opinion, positioning Barbie as a more inclusive and empowering brand. In addition, the study explores possible biases, such as a relation between women and a better opinion of Barbie, and greater use of social media with the conversation created about the work on the platforms as a cause of having seen the film, although no direct relationships were demonstrated.

    An overview of the main innovations in e-marketing
    (Emerald, 2012) Aramendia Muneta, María Elena; Gestión de Empresas; Enpresen Kudeaketa
    This chapter summarizes through the use of concept maps (CM), the main innovations in online marketing that have an influence on the tourism industry. The main innovations are broken down into two principal areas, namely, customers and new ways of communication: customers, who create communities and influence other members drawing from their experiences; new ways of communication made explicit though e-Advertising or web sites. Consumers also have the power to generate independent means of network persuasion not controlled directly by firms themselves.

    Dimensión económica de los principios rectores: carencias de un marco conceptual contradictorio
    (La Ley (Wolters Kluwer), 2011) Archel Domench, Pablo; Husillos Carques, Francisco Javier; Echavarri, Rebeca; Economía; Ekonomia; Gestión de Empresas; Enpresen Kudeaketa; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE
    La Ley 2/2011 de 4 de marzo de Economía Sostenible nace con el objetivo, según reza su artículo primero, de introducir las reformas estructurales necesarias para crear las condiciones que favorezcan un desarrollo económico sostenible. Lo que nos encontramos a lo largo de un abanico de artículos y disposiciones es un compendio de medidas de lo más diverso que abarcan, entre otros asuntos, desde el modelo energético deseable para nuestro país hasta las descargas en Internet. La oportunidad de la Ley viene justificada, tal y como se nos dice en el Título Preliminar, por la necesidad de adoptar medidas que permitan afrontar la crisis económica y financiera mundial que ha interrumpido el largo periodo continuo de crecimiento, una de cuyas consecuencias más negativas es el fuerte incremento del desempleo en un corto espacio de tiempo. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo es analizar los conceptos y principios que aparecen en el Título Preliminar (artículos 1 a 3) donde se define el objetivo de la ley, el concepto de Economía Sostenible y se enuncian brevemente los principios resultantes, hasta un total de nueve, de la acción de los poderes públicos. De esta manera, el Título Preliminar vendría a ser una especie de marco conceptual, un espacio en el que se fijan los conceptos básicos sobre cuya base se va a construir el resto del articulado posterior. Para ello, nuestro trabajo lo estructuramos de la siguiente manera. En primer lugar, la siguiente sección efectúa un breve repaso de los conceptos económicos básicos que han ilustrado la literatura sobre el Desarrollo a lo largo de los últimos años y que son empleados para articular el Titulo Preliminar de la Ley de Economía Sostenible. Partiendo de la obra de Adam Smith (La riqueza de las naciones) y pasando por los planteamientos que identificaban desarrollo con crecimiento de la riqueza, nuestro trabajo se abre a otras voces que, como las de Amartya Sen (1988, 1999), analizan de forma crítica la relación entre crecimiento y desarrollo. Seguidamente, el epígrafe tercero analiza en detalle los tres artículos del Título Preliminar. Nuestro trabajo no se limita a exponer el contenido de los mismos, sino que pretende ser una aportación crítica al debate existente sobre el significado de la expresión Desarrollo Económico Sostenible. Por último, la sección cuarta presenta un resumen del capítulo y efectúa unos comentarios finales.

    An investigation of multichannel shopping behavior: evolution in a grocery retailer in Spain
    (Nova Science Publications, 2015) Arce Urriza, Marta; Cebollada Calvo, Javier; Villanueva Orbaiz, María Luisa; Gestión de Empresas; Enpresen Kudeaketa
    E-commerce in Spain is growing year by year, boosted mainly by the positive evolution of three variables such as: the percentage of Internet users, the proportion of Internet shoppers, and the average online spending per shopper. However, although grocery retailers were among the first marketers to incorporate the Internet as an additional shopping channel online grocery shopping in Spain is still low. In this work we analyze the evolution of the online shopping behavior for groceries for the same groups of clients of one of the major grocery retailers in Spain in a 4 years elapsed time. This chain was a pioneer selling groceries online, opening its online store in 2001. To do so, we analyze the purchase behavior of the clients per channel (offline and online), and the characteristics of the shopping baskets per client at each purchase occasion or trip. We also classify customers evaluating their use of the two channels.

Findings highlight the crucial relationship between the tourism sector, gross domestic product (GDP), and employment, emphasising the importance of sustainable tourism in economic resilience.

    Regionalism vs. bilateralism: an analysis on trade flows in advanced and emerging economies
    (IGI Global, 2025) Pluda, Carolina; Aramendia Muneta, María Elena; Gestión de Empresas; Enpresen Kudeaketa
    This chapter analyzes the role of regionalism versus bilateral trade relationships in the context of international trade disruptions caused by the COVID- 19 pandemic. The export and import flows of 11 advanced and 12 emerging economies are ex- amined and compared to identify their primary economic interests, whether linked to regional trade blocs or bilateral partnerships, with or without formal trade agreements (preferential and non- preferential). The findings indicate that advanced economies trade similarly within their blocs and partnerships, regardless of tariff preferences, while emerging economies prioritize half of their trade through non- preferential bilateral partnerships. The trade patterns reveal strong convergence among developed economies and a latent alignment with emerging economies, which also display a uniform trade distribution.

    (IGI Global, 2024) Castilla Miguel, Lierni; Aramendia Muneta, María Elena; Gestión de Empresas; Enpresen Kudeaketa
    The primary goal of the research is to investigate the efficiency of various digital marketing tools in the skincare industry, as well as to assess market trends and customer behavior in order to enhance sales. The study included a survey of 100 Spanish customers aged 18 to 64, and six regression models were developed to forecast sales growth based on various criteria. Transparency, sustainability, and personalized skincare products, as well as user-generated content and reviews, are highlighted as successful marketing methods to promote sales in the research. The study also emphasizes how age and gender play a significant role in this connection as well as the limited influence of influencer and celebrity marketing on skincare product sales. According to the findings, skincare firms should concentrate on developing transparent, environmentally friendly products that are customized to consumers' interests, using usergenerated content and reviews in their marketing strategies to boost sales.
