“…Building on the limitations of the study, future research should emphasise the intensity of the social capital dimension, by including other components of social capital other than relational social capital, which was the focus of this study. According to Fernandez and Bernardez (2018), there are three dimensions of social capital, namely relational social capital, institutional social capital, and organisational social capital. It is recommended that future studies should also consider these other variables.…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of knowledge sharing on social capital and product innovation among tourism SMEs in Zimbabwe. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative approach was adopted in this study and data was collected using an online survey, from owners and managers of small and medium enterprises in the tourism industry. The respondents were drawn using a simple random sampling technique from a database created and maintained by the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority of Sanganai/Hlanganani World Tourism Expo participants. Covariance-based structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data and test the hypotheses proposed. Findings: The study found that both interorganisational trust and social reciprocity enhance product innovation in the tourism sector. It was also revealed that knowledge-sharing capability partially mediates the relationship between interorganisational trust and social reciprocity and product innovation. Research limitations/implications: By focusing on interorganisational trust and social reciprocity, this study was limited to the relational dimension of social capital, and this offers scope for future research. More research needs to be undertaken to explore the role of interorganisational trust and social reciprocity across other dimensions of social capital other than the relational attributes. It is also necessary to conduct longitudinal studies to capture variations in time and across sectors using more robust measures. Originality/value: The study expands on the existing line of scholarly work by providing a social dimension of the antecedents of product innovation. The findings suggest in the wake of resource limitation, firms in Zimbabwe may rely on interorganisational trust and social reciprocity to foster superior product innovation. In this knowledge-intensive business environment, this study also adds value by providing empirical evidence for the mediating role of knowledge-sharing capability in the relationship between interorganisational trust and social reciprocity, and product innovation.

“…To determine whether a city is moving in the right direction-and to empower its citizens to ensure that it does-requires ways to measure important results and impacts, both positive and negative. The following are suggested community vital signs that have been developed with and for communities in the United States, Mexico, Central America, Latin America, and Europe (Bernardez, 2018;City of Tallahassee, 2008;Fernandez & Bernardez, 2018;Guerra-Lopez, 2018;Rodriquez, 2018;Wesley, 2018).…”

Vital signs are the objective variables and measurable criteria for any city that cares deeply about its value to residents. They are similar to the vital signs that physicians use to assess your health status. For a city to measure community vital signs, it must determine what it does and delivers and must assess how residents perceive and determine what the city's services and policies are delivering. Citizen involvement is essential. This article provides possibly useful vital signs derived from communities around the world.

How can cities manage the transition of informal settlements to sustainable, prosperous and healthy neighborhoods in a fast‐changing urban and dynamic landscape? How can they balance urban development, poverty reduction, and sustainability? How can they manage the extreme contrasts and potential conflicts between adjacent high‐income residencies, tourist centers, and informal low‐income settlements?
