The effects of leadership, person-organization fit, role clarity and burnout on job satisfaction in Mexican convenience stores are examined using the resource-job demands theory. Also, significant differences associated with job positions are sought. The research is probabilistic, quantitative, explanatory, and cross-sectional. In addition, structural modeling is used as a statistical technique. Although all variables have an impact on job satisfaction, the findings show the importance of role clarity in this sector. Moreover, there is a difference between assistants and store managers/leaders in the relationship between leadership and role clarity. Future studies could investigate the effects of these variables on organizational cynicism and inefficacy, as well as assess other leadership styles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study presents the development of an upgrading program for a supermarket-type warehouse that supports the supply of goods in a manufacturing company located in northwestern Mexico. The tool Kanban is applied to achieve and improve the redistribution, reorganization, and identification of replenishment points for the production process. A five-step methodology is followed and 70 materials are selected to update their storage and inventory levels on the warehouse management system. The results show an increase of 33.53% on overall delivery metric compliance and a 5.49% increment on supermarket maximization. It is concluded that upgrading the warehouse management system improves the efficiency of materials supply since it increments successful on-time delivery objetives and since it increments the supermarket's share on supply.

New consumer's attitudes and life styles result in changes in the food industry and in self-service store business. Today, preserved and processed foods are a fundamental component in the diet, mainly for urban population. There is a new way of selecting menus both in homes and restaurant industry, supporting the development of a processed food industry, known as convenience foods, incorporating a technology that allows an easier handling both in their preparation and their consumption. Thus, there are cooked and pre-cooked foods. The higher market presence of this type of foods is due, among other factors, to a fuller integration of women in the labor world. The most noticeable consumption trend for this type of foods has its origin in Europe and the United States. There is already a clear leaning in Mexico towards this type of consumption, mainly in urban areas. One of the main reasons for this is its convenience, together with other factors (flavor, price and ease for microwave warming up). Other advantages include their long shelf life and their easy consumption. Shortcomings include difficulty to identify ingredient quantity and quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzed the incidence of accounting systems in decision-making for the year 2021, of the five existing fuel service stations in the Chone canton, Manabí province, Ecuador. The methodological approach was descriptive and secondary information sources such as document analysis were used. In addition, with the application of instruments such as the questionnaire through the survey and interview in a population of 10 people, made up of 5 accountants and 5 managers of fuel service stations. Likewise, results were obtained that demonstrated the importance of accounting systems in decision-making at the different fuel stations and with greater relevance in a year as complicated as 2021 was due to the double crisis that occurred (health and economic), achieving optimal use of economic resources. Finally, accounting systems have a positive impact on decision-making because they allow entities to improve planning, organization and management processes so that members of fuel service stations make the best decisions from the economic point of view, administrative and operational accountant. Likewise, it allows to reduce the probabilities of generating losses in the management of financial assets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the first half of the 20th Century Centro Habana became the major commercial center of the whole city, with big American-style department stores that substituted the small European fashioned stores in the old walled precinct. The calzadas, with their double-height pedestrian corridors, were the main expansion axes of the city beyond the walls. They shaped a system of linear centers that both separated and brought together sectors where housing was predominant, with a rich functional and social mixture that went from rental dwellings for the ubiquitous lowermiddle class to tenements for workers and marginals --ciudadelas and cuarterías--masked behind Classical façades. Corners in sectors defined by calzadas had a double role as convenience stores for daily shopping and a meeting places for residents in the city blocks. Malecón was the front porch of Centro Habana, as an alternative for the lack of green trees that made Centro Habana a heat island. Being Centro Habana the centre of commerce, it has been severely hit by the poor offer of goods and services, by the physical and moral deterioration, by the loss of functions, makeshift conversions of stores into caricatures of dwellings, and distortions that have impoverished the urban image. Nevertheless, Centro Habana has a potential that makes it similar to the model supported by the Historian Office located in Old Havana. The great investment carried out in Monte Barreto to create a fake center following the discredited American suburban pattern might have been addressed to the revitalization of this territory which would have been much better placed and used by the population and with a valuable but endangered built heritage.

A study of consumer habits and perceptions related with goat milk and goat dairy took place among 507 Costa Ricans randomly distributed by demographics in the country (69% females, 31% males aged between 12 and 70 years), during the second semester of 2006. Random interviews were used to profile age, gender, location, exercise practices, consumption habits, perceptions and knowledge toward goat milk and dairy. Coded data were evaluated using the chi square test. A tendency for significantly more exercise among men was found, which was not related to age or milk consumption. The perceptions of goat milk as "healthy" (36%), "nutritious" (14%) and "medicinal" (14%) where cited the most. About 93.7% of the persons mentioned goat milk as being "not available" (31.3%). "Repulsion for the milk itself" (31.2%) and "lack of knowledge" (14.6%) were the main reasons for not consuming goat milk. 6.31% did consume goat milk once or twice a week (53.1%), especially older people in San José and Cartago, who bought milk directly to the farmers (68.75%) and were motivated by health benefits (75%). About 11.24% of the persons, especially those located at the Costa Rican central plateau, usually consumes goat dairy, mainly cheese (80%) and yogurt (10%). Dairy is bought with variable frequencies in small rural convenience stores (38.6%) and directly to the farmers (36.8%). Although most of the people thinks of goat milk as a nutraceutic, this idea does not translate into a high consumption of the product. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this research study was to describe and classify French bread from neighbourhood bakeries and grocery stores in the Lima Metropolitan Area (Peru) by cluster and discriminant analyses. Mass, volume, specific volume, moisture, acidity, and salt content of 198 French bread samples were collected from 66 bakeries selected by convenience sampling. Samples were classified into three groups by using multivariate analyses. The highest mass and volume averages per bread unit were found in grocery store French breads. Specific volume ranged from 3.59 to 14.67 cm³/g. Grocery store breads were within humidity parameters set by Peruvian national regulations. However, neighbourhood bakery breads showed low humidity and high specific volume. It is concluded that French bread from the Lima Metropolitan Area can be classified into three groups according to their physicochemical characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the context of urban expansion in the Metropolitan Region of Belém (MRB), we analyze the logic of action of certain business groups and the relationship with the trend of spreading of the urbanmetropolitan fabric nucleated by the city of Belém. The analysis stems from the emergence of supermarket retail groups as an expression of a metropolitan economy organized around the modern tertiary sector, especially commerce and services, of which two business groups stand out, "Líder" and "Y. Yamada". Despite of acting to intensify the logic of metropolitan expansion, the groups act in a strategically different way in terms of locational choices. The methodological path of the research is comprised of three stages: systematic literature review, survey and document analysis, systematic field observations with subsequent production of cartography of the observed processes and statistical data collected.

The objective of the article is to estimate the price elasticity of the demand for gasoline in Mexico's Northern border based on applying monthly data of Mexican regions from 1997 to 2015. The results reveal that the demand for gasoline at the border is less inelastic than inland. A database is provided that includes more observations and regional economic variables compared to previous studies. It is concluded that beyond the economic effects of gasoline-related tourism, the competition faced by gas stations on the Northern border influences the price elasticity of demand. This confirms the importance of gasoline tourism in this region of Mexico, as has been recognized by federal and municipal authorities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
