| Abstract: | Immersive technologies such as Metaverse, AR, and VR are at a crossroads, with many actors pondering their adoption and potential sectors interested in integration. The cultural and tourism industries are particularly impacted, facing significant pressure to make decisions that could shape their future landscapes. Stakeholders' perceptions play a crucial role in this process, influencing the speed and extent of technology adoption. As immersive technologies promise to revolutionize experiences, stakeholders in these fields weigh the benefits and challenges of embracing such innovations. The current choices will likely determine the trajectory of cultural preservation and tourism enhancement, potentially transforming how we engage with history, art, and travel. Starting from a decomposition of stakeholders' perceptions into principal components using Q-methodology, this article employs an evolutionary game model to attempt to map possible scenarios and highlight potential decision-making trajectories. The proposed approach highlights how evolutionary dynamics lead to identifying a dominant long-term strategy that emerges from the complex system of coexistence among various stakeholders. |

| Abstract: | This review explores the social determinants of unethical behavior through a review of the recent experimental literature. It examines how decision-making environments, encompassing institutional frameworks, organizational structures, incentive schemes, peer influences, and social norms, affect unethical behaviors such as lying, corruption, tax evasion, or asset destruction. Key areas include the cultural roots of unethical behavior, the influence of markets and organizational cultures on moral values, the impact of competitive and cooperative incentive schemes, and the role of peer effects and social norms, social image and guilt. By analyzing the interaction between social determinants and individual behavior, the chapter highlights the complex dynamics that lead to unethical actions and suggests ways to harness these determinants to foster ethical conduct. The chapter concludes on interventions aimed at promoting ethical behavior, such as moral appeals and norm nudges. |
