(Cogent Business & Management, 2025-10-24) Sánchez Monterrosa, Dayana Maria; Del Río Cortina, Jorge Luis; Grupo de Investigación Centro de Estudios en Negocios e Internacionalización - CENI; Semillero de Investigación en Innovación y Gestión del Conocimiento
Internationalization is a complex business phenomenon that has become increasingly relevant in today’s globalized context. This study compiles and analyzes key academic research using bibliometric methods to identify patterns, trends, and gaps in the existing literature. The review emphasizes the crucial role of Top Management Teams in formulating and implementing internationalization strategies. It examines essential aspects such as team composition, diversity, members’ international experience, and strategic decision-making processes. The findings indicate that the proper configuration and dynamics of senior management teams can significantly determine the success or failure of internationalization strategies. Moreover, the study identifies emerging research areas and proposes future directions to advance understanding in this field. It goes beyond a bibliometric review by suggesting research questions such as: What mechanisms within internationalization theory explain the functioning of TMTs? How is strategy theory applied in multinational enterprises? From an applied perspective, it recommends verifying in developing regions prior studies conducted in Europe, to assess the interactive effects of TMTs on firms’ international expansion performance. Overall, this research highlights the need for deeper analysis of the internal dynamics of top management teams in the internationalization process and encourages the exploration of innovative methodological approaches to enrich this growing field of study.

Mental health in university students: exploring the influence of family communication and age on youth suicide risk
(Journal of Communication in Healthcare, 2026-02-01) Garcés Prettel, Miguel Efrén; Barredo-Ibáñez, Daniel; Vázquez Miraz, Pedro; Santoya Montes, Yanin Elena; Grupo de Investigación en Estudios Sociales y Humanísticos- GESH; Grupo de Investigación Desarrollo, Salud y Desempeño Humano
Background
Suicide accounts for 1 in every 100 deaths, which sets it as a global public health concern per the World Health Organization. COVID-19 increased concerns about mental health, particularly among youth, with suicide ranking as the fourth leading cause of death. This study investigates the relationship of age and the quality of family communication on suicidal ideation among Colombian university students, thus addressing a pertinent issue as Colombia reports an average of 8 daily suicide deaths.
Methods
A cross-sectional correlational design was employed, involving a representative sample of 660 Colombian university students aged between 18 and 26 years old. The study employed the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation Inventory and the Parent–Adolescent Communication Scale. Participants were categorized into two groups: those surveyed before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Results
During the pandemic family communication, particularly of an offensive nature, had a significant relationship on suicidal ideation among young Colombian university students. A positive association was found between the pandemic context and suicidal ideation, moderated by age. Open family communication was observed to potentially mitigate suicidal thoughts, particularly among older students.
Conclusion
This research highlights the role of family communication in supporting students’ mental health during crises like the COVID-19. Future studies should explore the preventive potential of close interpersonal communication to reduce youth suicide risk. Implementing proactive measures and robust support systems within universities are essential for approaching this issue and protecting vulnerable youth. Additionally, considering individual developmental trajectories is relevant for understanding age-related influences on student mental health.

¿Periodismo en crisis o en tiempos de crisis? Repensando la cobertura informativa de la Covid-19 en Colombia
(La comunicación como fundamento de la transparencia en los museos, 2026-01-07) Garcés Prettel, Miguel Efrén; Mellado, Claudia; Dager De Los Ríos, Alfonso Carlos; Blanco, Yessica; Caballero Dávila, María Cecilia; Domínguez Márquez, Leonardo; Grupo de Investigación en Estudios Sociales y Humanísticos- GESH; Semillero de Investigación en Medios Masivos y Productos Culturales
La pandemia del Covid-19 puso a prueba al periodismo, reafirmando tanto su importancia como sus limitaciones en tiempos de crisis. Este estudio examina la cobertura informativa en Colombia durante el primer año de la emergencia sanitaria. Analiza los formatos informativos predominantes, el enfoque temático, el uso de las fuentes y las variaciones entre los medios de comunicación, y prueba dos hipótesis relacionadas con estos aspectos. A partir de más de 5 000 noticias, se identificaron patrones que reflejan dinámicas editoriales en un contexto donde el acceso a información verificada fue fundamental. Los hallazgos revelan que la televisión produjo el mayor volumen de noticias, seguida por la radio, con un predominio de reportes breves y artículos generales. Un análisis comparativo mostró diferencias consistentes en la diversidad de fuentes y el énfasis temático entre los distintos tipos de medios, confirmando las hipótesis planteadas. La cobertura mostró una fuerte dependencia de fuentes gubernamentales y un uso limitado de voces expertas, lo que redujo la diversidad y la profundidad analítica. En lugar de ampliar el debate público, los medios reprodujeron narrativas institucionales, minimizando otras dimensiones del impacto social y sanitario del Covid-19. La evidencia invita a repensar cómo deben los medios abordar futuras crisis con un periodismo que no solo registre los hechos, sino que los analice con el rigor que la sociedad exige.
