En un entorno cambiante, la eficiencia y la capacidad de adaptación son esenciales para mejorar la competitividad de las empresas. El presente estudio analizó la aplicación de Lean Manufacturing en la producción de alimentos mediante una revisión de la literatura científica basada en Scopus, utilizando la metodología PRISMA y los softwares Vosviewer y Bibliometrix. A partir del análisis bibliométrico, se evidencia un incremento en las investigaciones sobre Lean Manufacturing en las empresas de alimentos desde 2019, con una tasa de crecimiento anual del 5,96%. Brasil y Perú se destacan por su alta producción científica, mientras que Brasil y Bélgica sobresalen en términos de citaciones. Además, se observa una destacada colaboración científica entre autores de América del Sur y Asia. Se identificaron tres clústeres relevantes: principios, herramientas de implementación y aplicaciones prácticas de Lean Manufacturing. El mapeo temático resaltó los conceptos Reducción de costes, Monitorización de procesos, Six Sigma y Mapeo de flujo de valor, como temas más prominentes subrayando el interés y aplicaciones en la literatura científica. Se propone la implementación de Lean Manufacturing en siete pasos, facilitando el uso de herramientas ágiles para la optimización de procesos y reducción de desperdicios en las empresas alimentarias. Lean Manufacturing contribuye a mejorar el flujo de productos en la cadena de suministro y en la sostenibilidad de las pequeñas y medianas empresas. Futuras investigaciones deben centrarse en la adaptación de Lean Manufacturing a diversos contextos y modelos de negocios en el sector agroalimentario.

This study investigates the posting strategies of CEOs of Latin American companies on LinkedIn and their impact on engagement. It examines activity levels and types of presence, and engagement rates. Based on a quantitative analysis, the results reveal that executives in this region have a significantly lower frequency of posting on LinkedIn compared to the averages recommended by experts. Regarding the type of presence, CEOs are “content creators” and mainly post their own content. The engagement analysis shows discrepancies between own and hybrid posts. Due to the originality of own content, it receives better engagement rates than hybrid posts. The findings reveal that most Latin American CEOs adopt a “passive funnel” posting strategy on LinkedIn, which is characterized by low activity and own content. It is striking that CEOs with a more passive approach tend to have higher engagement rates compared to those with a more active approach. From these findings it is clear that, although authentic content generates interaction, CEOs should take advantage of the potential of shared publications, which are characterized by fostering dialogue based on content with diverse perspectives, a particular feature of the actors and institutions of the business environment. This research assesses the potential of CEOs as institutional communicators and provides methodological guidelines for academics and professionals in charge of the publication strategies of organizations and managers in the region.

The optimization of financial management in small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) has been essential in improving their operational efficiency and has guaranteed their sustainability in a competitive environment. One of the key tools to achieve this has been the implementation of accounting and business management systems that have made it possible to automate financial processes and facilitate informed decision-making. FrontAccounting, as an open source ERP system has been designed specifically for small businesses, and has emerged as a viable option due to its accessibility and functionality with scalable open source software for any small and medium-sized business. This article has focused on how the implementation of FrontAccounting has positively impacted the financial management of SMEs, having improved efficiency in key areas such as inventory control, bank reconciliation, management of accounts receivable, payable, and generation of financial reports. Having carried out this study and adopted this platform for the management of open source accounting tools, significant improvements have been evident in the accuracy of the data, the reduction of time in accounting processing and greater transparency in financial operations. FrontAccounting has contributed to long-term profitability with the successful implementation of this enterprise resource planning system, enabling SMEs to optimize their financial management efficiently and profitably.

The objective of this research is to propose a strategic planning model for the growth of professional, scientific, and technical services microenterprises in Mexico. A methodology was applied under the quantitative paradigm with a nonexperimental cross-correlational research design to a sample of 174 managers. The findings expose nine weakly associated factor loads in relation to what is stated in the literature, showing a configuration of the model that is different from being applied in practice. The main findings of this research is the development of a conceptual model integrated by: philosophy, long, medium, and short-term objectives, policies, strategies, rules, procedures, programs, and budgets, linked by strategic, tactical, and operational control to the companies under study.

Corporate sustainability is an important aspect in nationally and internationally economic sector. Companies must promote not only environmental sustainability also economic and financial sustainability that allows them to develop their activities correctly and generate benefits for their stakeholders. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the circular business model and the sustainability of the manufacturing sector in the Tungurahua province. A quantitative investigation was carried out and Tau b de Kendall was applied to achieve this objective. The main results show that there is a relatively low correlation between business sustainability and the application of circular business models. In general, corporate sustainability is a factor that should be highly considered within any type of organization due to its contribution in the development and fulfillment of business objectives [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In today's increasingly competitive and dynamic business environment, the ability to adapt and innovate is the key to long-term success. In this context, well-defined business models not only function as compasses for companies or ventures toward profitability, but they are also tools that allow them to face the complexities of the market. Although frameworks have been proposed to guide the construction of these models, such as the traditional Canvas, a gap has been found in the scientific literature about the integration of this Canvas with industry-specific tools. This lack of integration can limit the effectiveness of business strategies and hinder the ability of companies to make the most of their potential. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to address this gap by adapting a method that allows a deep integration between a tool of the sector, in this case, the various stages of the industrial value chain with the blocks of the traditional Canvas model. To this end, the cross-analysis method was adapted, which eased the generation of a practical guide for the creation of business models that not only consider the intrinsic characteristics of the business but also the particularities of the industry in which they use. This guidance was applied to a venture focused on the commercialization of bio packaging made from cocoa waste and the results revealed key symbiotic relationships between the value proposition and all links in the industrial value chain, as well as the tactical integration of strategic collaborations at multiple stages of the value chain to ensure the operational viability of the business. It was also found that this integration can offer valuable insights for strategic planning and business strategy formulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Creativity is a fundamental competence in daily life learning; it allows people to be able to generate new ideas, form new brain networks or connections related to originality and innovation, solve problems through unthinkable solutions, and adapt assertively to the change that we face every day. In education, mainly at higher levels, it helps students to understand and apply their knowledge in different circumstances, develop their critical and analytical thinking, be autonomous, self-sufficient, adaptable and resilient. Especially when they are about to become professionals dedicated to the care of such an important asset in a company, as is the human capital. The following work not only seeks to highlight the importance of creativity, but also to begin to understand it. From its implications and scope and to understand how it is applied in companies and in the world. Also, it helps to solve problems and improve processes of adaptation and evolution. At the same time, it seeks to demonstrate the change in students from a logical thinking to a creative. This process use techniques as theoretical knowledge, dynamics, case studies, exercises and practical application in an organization. At the end, the analysis and conclusions reached during the process and at the end are presented, in order to form their own opinion and implement the necessary changes, with the objective of facing the challenges of the current environment.

This article aimed to discuss the approval of the 'National Framework on Human Rights and Business' law in Brazil, which takes a binding approach to establish the foundations for effective corporate responsibility regarding activities that violate human rights. The research employed the historical-dialectical method and the theoretical framework of Gonzalo Berrón's architecture of impunity studies. The article was structured into three sections corresponding to the pillars of shifting from a voluntary to a binding approach: subjective, objective, and substantive. The conclusions pointed out that the approval of Bill No. 572/2022 represents a milestone in ending the architecture of corporate impunity, positioning Brazil and Latin America in a leadership role, without waiting for wealthy countries to capitalize on and monopolize the discourse on human rights.

This study analyzes the role of fictitious capital in the titles of ownership of extractive companies in the context of extractivism, a function inherent to capitalism. As a source of external financing, these titles influence corporate management by prioritizing shareholder returns. The study also examines how this financing impacts extractive activities in peripheral countries, where the composition of capital reflects a short-term commitment to shareholders, affecting the pace of production and the search for future returns. It further explores the implications of finance on the organization of the extractive sector and its influence on the structure of dependent capitalism in peripheral countries within the framework of financialized capitalism.

En el marco de los debates en torno a las transformaciones económicas durante el período deno­minado como posconvertibilidad, una de las discusiones centrales ha girado alrededor de la naturaleza de la evolución de la industria argentina y de su reprimarización, y del rol del precio de los commodities en este creci­miento. Este trabajo pretende realizar un aporte al debate sobre la evolución del sector agroindustrial en la posconvertibilidad, enmarcándolo en una discusión más amplia acerca de las formas actuales de inserción eco­nómica de la Argentina en la economía mundial y sus potencialidades en base al estudio de caso de una empresa argentina: Molinos Río de la Plata. Se concluye que la empresa tuvo una estrategia dual, basada en los segmentos de graneles y marcas, y que la evolución de la rentabilidad de Molinos durante el período considerado nos da algunas claves importantes para comprender el resultado de sus estrategias. Además, se realizan algunas refle­xiones finales respecto a las limitaciones estructurales de la economía argentina como economía periférica o dependiente y los nuevos desafíos impuestos por las lógicas de acumulación global en la industria agroalimen­taria.

La gerencia disruptiva es una forma de abordar el manejo de las organizaciones que se contrapone a los lineamientos del modelo de gerencia tradicional, la cual se implementa particularmente ante situaciones externas o internas que generan desorden o desequilibrio y que impactan negativamente la actividad económica en la que se desenvuelven las empresas, como sucedió con ocasión de la pandemia generada por el Covid -19, que provocó un deterioro en las finanzas, la rentabilidad y, por tanto, atentó contra la estabilidad de las empresas. En este sentido, el propósito de la presente investigación consistió en analizar la utilidad de la gerencia disruptiva en la era post – Covid, desde la gestión financiera, por lo cual se inserta en el paradigma interpretativo, haciendo uso del enfoque cualitativo, acompañado del método inductivo, utilizando la técnica de recolección de información a través de la revisión bibliográfica. Como resultado se pudo establecer que, la gerencia disruptiva es un enfoque útil para la gestión del cambio y la transformación empresarial, que requiere, entre otros, de la innovación de los procesos, alejándose de las prácticas tradicionales y modelos usuales de gerencia, esto, sin embargo, también implicó asumir un riesgo que no toda empresa está dispuesta a hacer, pero que en situaciones como la generada por el Covid-19 se hizo necesaria, puesto que hubo que adoptar estrategias novedosas para afrontar un fenómeno extraordinario y sin antecedente reciente que tuvo incidencias sobre los aspectos financieros y contables. Se concluyó que, tanto la economía colombiana como la mundial tuvieron graves afectaciones socioeconómicas por la pandemia, las empresas vieron comprometidas sus finanzas y por ende las que sobrevivieron debieron cambiar su forma de hacer negocios y adoptar cambios en su organización en general, las cuales han permanecido después de declarada la endemia.

Las universidades han emergido como actores para emprendimiento, funcionando principalmente como incubadoras de ideas de negocio, centrándose en la transformación hacia el desarrollo e innovación a través de empresas Spin-Off. El objetivo fue analizar la capacidad de las instituciones universitarias para generar empresas Spin-Off que contribuyan a la economía y sociedad con innovaciones y soluciones, generando recursos financieros propios en beneficio de ellas. Se adoptó una metodología de investigación mixta, realizando un análisis documental en bases indexadas, que sustentaron las variables y aplicación de encuestas a docentes universitarios, para identificar relaciones entre capacidades y recursos de las universidades y el éxito en generación de empresas Spin-Off. Los resultados destacan la importancia de la infraestructura, los recursos y sobre todo las políticas institucionales como factores cruciales en la creación y sostenibilidad. Se observó una correlación positiva entre disponibilidad de recursos en la universidad y efectividad en la generación de estas empresas. Además, se identificaron factores como infraestructura adecuada, políticas de apoyo a la innovación, y programas de incubación como influencias positivas en el éxito. Se concluye que las capacidades y recursos de las universidades juegan un papel crucial en el proceso de transformación de incubadoras a generadoras directas de empresas Spin-Off.

In the past decades, intangibles assets have become an important source of productivity and economic growth in developed countries. Despite the transforming properties of intangibles across economies and the large and dynamic literature on the impact of intangible investments on productivity growth in frontier countries, there is not much evidence for the Latin America context. This paper contributes to the empirical literature on intangible investments along various dimensions. First, we make use of a large firm-level longitudinal data set from Peru, a Latin America middle income country, which contains separated information on intangible assets, which allow us to measure the impact of them on both wages and productivity at the firm level. Second, the analysis at the firm level and the panel structure of the data allows us to control for the endogeneity of variable inputs applying different control function approaches. In addition, the production function estimates provide us with a measure of unobservables, which we include in the wage equation to retrieve consistent estimates for the impact of intangible assets on wages. Third, our data allow us to explore how the impact of intangibles on wages and productivity is affected by the differences in the composition of the bundle of intangibles, changes in the product mix at the firm level and for the presence of imperfect competition in the labor market. We find that an increase in the share of intangible assets by one standard deviation is associated with 6.8% to 7.2% higher total factor productivity, depending on the model's specification. We also find that the capital productivity premium of intangible assets over tangible ones is substantial with estimates suggesting that intangibles are up to 2 times more productive than tangible assets. We also find that this capital productivity premium is not entirely offset by an increase in wages. Finally, we conclude that the main channels for appropriability are the specificity of the ideas generated by intangible investments at the firm level and the wage compression due to imperfect competition in the labor market.

The theoretical and practical search to articulate efficiency and justice has history and present relevance. The objective of this paper is a theoretical dialogue between D. C. North and A. MacIntyre to articulate efficiency and justice across institutions. This articulation has –as its broader horizon– an interdisciplinary approach to the relationship between economic theory and ethics. From economic science, as an alternative to the concept of Paretian efficiency, North speaks of adaptive efficiency: institutions – understood as rules of human interaction – seek to be efficient in a process of adaptation over time. From ethics, MacIntyre contributes from an Aristotelian-Thomistic vision of distributive justice. MacIntyre recognizes that institutions are necessary for practices in communities but warns of the danger of institutional corruption. A place for this articulation is companies –organizations for North– where adaptive efficiency can occur if institutions –rules for human interaction– decentralize decision-making, specify contracts and property rights well. Companies, understood by MacIntyre as workplaces, are institutions that pursue common goods and that support the practices of these communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work aims to analyze the outstanding role that foreign capital, companies and entrepreneurs had in promoting the industrialization process in the city of Querétaro (Mexico) and its metropolitan area, which includes the municipalities of Corregidora, El Marqués and Colón, among 1943-2018, within the framework of a historical period in which two economic models were developed: Import Substitution Industrialization (ISI) and neoliberalism. The main axis is the importance of foreign investments, understood as foreign companies and private Mexican business groups, for the implementation of said industrial development over more than seven decades, as well as investigating the types and industrialization processes that occurred in that period and their relationships with socio-technical and work areas. It is suggested as a hypothesis that said industrialization process can be defined as artificial and exogenous. First, because there was no local business community to carry out this process, as happened in other cities in Mexico -such as Monterrey-, and exogenous because, through national capital from other regions of the country, and especially from abroad, it was carried out the industrialization of the city. From the above, a process of dependent industrialization emerges, inserted in the periphery that has limited endogenous capacity in technological terms, but also in labor terms, a situation that has tended to worsen in the 1980s and that has continued its course to the present.

La inteligencia artificial (IA) está transformando las finanzas y los negocios con análisis avanzados, automatización de procesos y predicciones precisas. Aunque mejora la eficiencia y la toma de decisiones, requiere supervisión humana para mantener la ética. La implementación de IA es costosa, demanda capacitación, proporciona mejoras significativas en la gestión de riesgos y en la toma de decisiones financieras, mejora la operación, el servicio al cliente, optimiza carteras e identifica oportunidades de inversión. Sin embargo, surgen desafíos como preocupaciones éticas y de privacidad, la necesidad de interpretar adecuadamente los resultados, asegurar la ciberseguridad y cumplir las regulaciones. La IA automatiza tareas financieras, reduce costos y errores, personaliza servicios al analizar el comportamiento del cliente. No obstante, la dependencia de datos plantea problemas de privacidad y seguridad, los sesgos en los datos pueden afectar la equidad, y complejidad de los algoritmos puede dificultar la transparencia y comprensión de las decisiones automatizadas.

En lo concerniente a la vialidad argentina, los estudios sobre el vínculo entre elencos gubernamentales y actores socioeconómicos han tendido a ser fragmentarios y a descuidar una etapa fundamental, 1955-1966, signada por importantes cambios en la administración pública y el auge del desarrollismo. Para saldar tal vacancia, el artículo analiza la configuración y las políticas públicas de la Dirección Nacional de Vialidad en aquel periodo, colocando el foco en los incentivos institucionales a la actividad privada, así como los alcances y las vicisitudes de la contratación y transferencia de obras y servicios viales hacia empresas y profesionales. Desde una perspectiva relacional de las capacidades estatales, mediante fuentes documentales gubernamentales y corporativas, se demostrará que, si bien la articulación público-privada permitió un mayor despliegue de realizaciones y fortaleció a dichos sujetos como interlocutores del Estado, se vio fuertemente condicionada por un complejo conjunto de factores.

El presente artículo plantea supuestos sobre aquellos factores sociales, culturales, personales y psicológicos que influyen en el comportamiento del consumidor y que afectan al desarrollo empresarial de las micros, pequeñas y medianas empresas en el contexto ecuatoriano. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de los datos que han sido generados e investigados estadísticamente por otros autores en estos últimos cinco años (2019-2023) sobre aquellos factores que influyen en las decisiones de compra del consumidor ecuatoriano. A partir de los hallazgos más relevantes se logró identificar y abordar 17 variables que actúan en la decisión de compra de un individuo que pueden generar un efecto de ruptura comportamental en el consumidor y que pueden afectar negativamente al desarrollo empresarial. Se concluye que, el consumidor posee decisiones de compra que son prioritarios que están relacionados con la educación, salud y alimentación frente a compras relacionados con productos de conveniencia.

La composición societaria y económica de las empresas activas longevas (mayores a 25 años) dentro de la Zona 8 del ordenamiento territorial el Ecuador al año 2022 es diversa y compleja. Para analizar esta dinámica se aplica un estudio descriptivo de tipo transversal con base inductiva y cuantitativa a través de la recopilación documental en bases de datos de carácter oficial. Una vez analizadas 4.449 organizaciones, la investigación arroja que tan solo una logra superar el siglo de existencia y que el tamaño más representativo corresponde a microempresas, lo que da cuenta del bajo nivel de crecimiento no solo de sus ingresos totales sino también de su estructura organizacional.

Resumo Este estudo visa a analisar as implicações da relação entre Estado e empresas nas dinâmicas inovativas internas das empresas beneficiadas por políticas públicas de inovação. Seu contexto empírico é a resposta de três empresas do setor de Software e Serviços de Tecnologia da Informação (SSTI) ao fomento do Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Social (BNDES) no Programa para o Desenvolvimento da Indústria Nacional de Software e Serviços de Tecnologia da Informação (Prosoft): TOTVS, Linx e Sinqia. Supôs-se que as diferentes respostas das empresas decorrem dos diferentes graus de inovação de seu planejamento estratégico, o que foi avaliado com base na teoria evolucionária da firma e na teoria neo-weberiana da firma. Os resultados confirmam essa hipótese, já que, embora as três empresas tenham apresentado uma variação positiva de suas dinâmicas inovativas internas após o fomento do BNDES, quanto mais inovativo foi o planejamento estratégico da empresa tanto maior foi essa variação positiva.

La colocación de capital en una actividad económica o acciones dentro de una organización representada por terceros a fin de alcanzar una rentabilidad en el mediano o largo plazo, se denomina inversión; no obstante, la inversión no siempre se encuentra relacionada con las actividades económicas internas de una organización, sino también, con la forma en que ésta retribuye a la sociedad una contribución de desarrollo social de manera colectiva, a forma de desarrollo individual de su personal interno mediante la preparación constante que conlleven a su fidelización o de su contexto externo dentro del entorno en el que se desenvuelve. La presente investigación se plantea con el objetivo de analizar el impacto de las inversiones públicas y/o privadas en el capital social de América Latina; empleándose una metodología de investigación de tipo descriptiva sustentada en la revisión bibliográfica y apoyada por los métodos deductivo, analítico y sintético. Cuyos resultados demuestran que 30 organizaciones de sostenimiento público y privado de múltiples sectores económicos/industriales, procedentes de 7 países de América Latina con y sin fines de lucro, destinan recursos para fomentar la inversión en Capital Social. Concluyéndose que tales inversiones representan un gran impacto en la construcción de infraestructura y conectividad, así como el fomento a la educación, programas sociales, generación de emprendimiento, redes empresariales, disminución de la desigualdad, corrupción e inseguridad a través de las redes sociales, redes de cooperación entre individuos y grupos sociales que fomentan una la cultura de desarrollo equitativo y de beneficio sociocultural.

Science has progressed rapidly, corresponding with artificial intelligence (AI) allowing machines to emulate human thinking. However, they are still far from being able to handle complex administrative tasks, specialists agree that AI will change the way we manage and lead people in the future. This research work aims to analyze the impact of artificial intelligence on the administrative development of the modern company. It is a quantitative study, which used a descriptive and cross-sectional cohort methodology; Among the theoretical methods used to carry out the bibliographic review on the topic are: historical-logical, analysissynthesis, inductive-deductive. It is based on an updated review of the literature and 108 entrepreneurs, employees and business owners were surveyed. As a result of the surveys carried out, it was identified that there is ignorance, uncertainty, and interests related to the implementation of AI, which has the potential to transform business administration, but its adoption must be careful, considered and managed to take advantage of its benefits and mitigate their risks in a globalized world. These results highlight the varied perceptions about the impact of AI on companies that can be useful in the efficiency of business management, as well as perceptions about its future impact.

The study investigated the relevance of sustainable practices for the productivity of companies in the Southern Region of Brazil participating in the Brazil More Productivity Program. Its main objective was to identify this importance attributed by companies by analyzing data from businesses in the sectors of commerce, services, industry, agriculture, and construction, considering the period from July 2022 to June 2023. Has a predominantly quantitative approach, applied nature, descriptive regarding objectives, and survey in relation to procedures. Internal managerial data from Sebrae were analyzed using the Innovation Radar tool to measure the innovation maturity of companies and its relationship with sustainable practices. Indicates an evolution in innovation indicators, managerial controls, and sustainable practices, albeit with low prioritization of the latter. Significant increases in productivity were associated with the reduction of variable costs and revenue growth, although sectors still face challenges in this regard. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Using a feminist institutional approach, we examine the dominant institutional views and frameworks explaining company positions regarding the implementation of gender policies. A multiple case study was performed on four Spanish companies involved in sectors related to the circular bioeconomy. The analysis relied on secondary sources and semi-structured interviews with women in positions of responsibility in these companies. The results provide evidence on the gender issues encountered and their limitations in terms of organizational change, as well as the dominant institutional frameworks of the companies. The findings suggest that the main drivers for change are intense state regulation, company commitment to formalizing measures and the presence of critical actors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
