      abstract = {This book analyzes the changes brought on to economic and  business activities in Latin America due to the new  scenarios, environments and social dynamics the world is  facing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, at both micro-  and macroeconomic levels. Recent changes to working  environments has brought discussions on work-life balance  to the forefront, and creating support mechanisms to  attract and retain the next generation of workers has  become a primary focus for talent managers. At an industry  level, there are expectations that once the crisis passes,  there will be massive capital inflows toward ESG  investments in emerging markets driving the transformation  of companies. Consequently, ESG business models will have a  cascading effect in the whole supply chain (upstream,  midstream and downstream) and will generate greater value  for all stakeholders. At the same time, technologies of the  fourth industrial revolution, such as Blockchain and  Artificial Intelligence, have gradually been adopted by  companies leading the charge in ESG business models. The  financial sector has taken the lead in these two  technologies, but the challenge generated by the COVID-19  pandemic forced other sectors to innovate rapidly in order  to remain afloat. Using empirical and theoretical  frameworks, the contributors in this book identify the most  attractive alternatives to benefit consumers in an adverse  environment like the one the world is facing as a result of  the COVID-19 pandemic, which while posing a significant  challenge for most industries, has also created new  opportunities for innovation and ingenuity, analyzing case  studies from the coffee and medical tourism sectors in  particular.},
