The main aim of this paper is to demonstrate that clusters can support the sustainable development of rural areas through the creation of shared value. This is done via the close exam-ination of six different cases of rural clusters in Greece, Italy, Germany, Poland, Denmark, and Sweden. Qualitative as well as quantitative data weretaken from the clusters, which demonstrated that their main business approaches naturally coincided with the creation of economic, social, and environmental benefits for the local communities in which they operated. The case clusters were created in a top-down manner, aimed at boosting regional R&D activities and making the local economy more competitive and more sustainable. However, private initiative took over and al-lowed these clusters to flourish because meeting the regions’ economic, social, and environmental needs successfully coincided with the target of the clusters’ own development and profitability. The results show that clusters, with their potential for shared value creation, can constitute a powerful engine for the revitalisation and development of rural areas, addressing the significant challenges which they are currently facing.

This paper presents a survey study of how social innovation moderates social and economic value from the perspective of shared value creation. Specifically, the study addresses the following questions: Does economic value lead to social value creation in shared value creation? Does social innovation moderate social and economic value in the creation of shared value? The questions are addressed through an empirical investigation of 250 social enterprise organizations that apply social objectives and a market-based approach to attain social and economic goals in Ghana. The study used SmartPLS software version 3.0 to evaluate the data collected. The results indicated that economic value influences the creation of social value in shared value creation. Study results also revealed that social innovation is a driver of shared value creation via social value in the educational sector of Ghana. However, social innovation could not play a moderating role in economic value to shared value creation.

This article investigates the role of prosody in conversational humor in the HBO series Sex and the City (SATC) in an exploratory study. Specifically, we examine how pitch and pauses are part of the prosodic bundle that can be used to mark an utterance as humoristic. We find that the use of prosodic resources participates not only in the marking but also the creation of humor. In this regard, we view pitch variation and pauses as having communicative strategies and cognitive benefits. They are part of the performance of humor and participate in the characterization of the personage. The authors suggest the existence of a repertoire of prosodic devices associated to humor and to a particular discourse.

From a dynamic learning perspective, the development of comprehensive entrepreneurship takes into account that entrepreneurs learn during the creation and management of their enterprises. This study aims to analyze the dimension of entrepreneurial learning of entrepreneurs of micro and small-size companies that had business failure and have created new businesses. The methodology consists in a qualitative and exploratory study, with cross-section approach and longitudinal perspective. Three entrepreneurs were selected to participate in the study based on convenience and availability. Data were collected through interview in depth, using a standard protocol. Content analysis was used having the narrative as a basis for the research. The results showed that all entrepreneurs, at the time that they had business failure, presented an immediate and spontaneous reflexive action because they did not remain inactive when facing the challenges that had led them to stop theirs activities. In consideration of the dimension of entrepreneurial learning, we suggest that the acquisition of knowledge related to the overcoming of adversities and obstacles is able to stimulate and enable entrepreneurs to create a new venture.
