Among the findings, it was detected that entrepreneurs believe that this financial knowledge has helped them to access and use financial services; however, it was found that there is a complex relationship between the perception of financial knowledge and the access and use of financial services. It is concluded that the complexity is due to factors such as financial education, business experience and economic context.

Este estudio se analizó las brechas (GAPs) entre los componentes del Marketing Holístico y la calidad del servicio en pequeñas y medianas empresas hoteleras (PYMEs) en tres ciudades colombianas. A través de una encuesta a 300 clientes internos de PYMEs hoteleras seleccionadas, se evaluaron las dimensiones del marketing holístico: Marketing Interno (Endomarketing), Marketing Mix, Marketing Relacional y Marketing Social. Los resultados revelaron que la dimensión con mayor discrepancia en las PYMEs hoteleras de las tres ciudades fue el Marketing Interno (Endomarketing). La metodología empleada se basó en un enfoque positivista y una metodología descriptiva-explicativa, con un diseño no experimental. Se utilizó un método lógico deductivo y métodos estadísticos para el análisis. La muestra consistió en PYMEs hoteleras de tamaño medio seleccionadas de la base de datos de COTELCO, con un total de 15 hoteles (5 por ciudad), y se encuestaron a 20 clientes de cada uno. Estos resultados resaltan la importancia de comprender los atributos valorados por los clientes, agregar valor de manera realista y precisa, y establecer promesas de servicio respaldadas por la motivación y el compromiso del personal.

This article examines the relationship between transformational leadership (TFL), organizational learning (OL), and employee creativity (EC) in Vietnamese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The study finds that TFL positively affects EC and OL, with individual motivation playing a significant role. OL acts as a partial mediator between TFL and EC. The research provides valuable insights for SMEs in Vietnam and contributes to the existing literature on organizational learning. However, the study is limited to SMEs in Vietnam and does not address cultural issues specific to Vietnamese SMEs. Future studies should consider cultural variables and use a mixed-methods approach to further explore the topic. [Extracted from the article]

La pequeña y mediana empresa (Pyme) de la industria básica de hierro y acero tiene una alta representación en el número de establecimientos y empleos que genera en este sector, estratégico para la economía nacional. Por dicha importancia, esta investigación tiene como objetivo diagnosticar su desempeño financiero en el período 2015-2020; considera la Pyme que aparece en las bases de datos EMIS Professional y en el Sistema Integrado de Información Societaria (SIIS) de la Superintendencia de Sociedades. Como metodología asume el análisis estático y de tendencias de indicadores contables y de gestión del valor que miden su crecimiento, eficiencia, eficacia y efectividad financiera. Encuentra que las ventas, activos y utilidad neta fluctúan; solo la mediana empresa logra un rendimiento promedio sobre activos, debido a su mayor eficacia en el control de costos-gastos operacionales. Sin embargo, la Pyme tiene un rendimiento promedio sobre el patrimonio negativo; es peor en la pequeña empresa que no logra compensar su menor eficacia, con su mayor eficiencia en el uso de activos y su mayor apalancamiento financiero, en el monitoreo de todos los costos-gastos; además, la Pyme destruye valor económico agregado. Al compararse con el sector se encuentra que este es más efectivo y destruye menos valor sobre la inversión realizada.

The primary purpose of this paper is to present an actual case of a Peruvian SME which applied IFRS accounting standards – specifically, IAS 41 for consumable biological assets – to reflect its financial situation more accurately as an alternative to legal and tax regulations applying historical cost, which Peruvian SMEs more commonly use for the preparation of financial statements. Primary data were gathered through interviews and observation at the SME studied. This forestry-industry SME in question tried unsuccessfully to get financing from banks, even presenting complementary information regarding the calculation of biological asset values according to IAS 41. Failing this, it turned to seeking funding from private long-term investors, eventually succeeding in obtaining long-term financing from a new strategic investor. The significance of this paper is that it presents evidence of the advantages for companies (specifically agriculture-related companies) that comply with IFRS in a country where historical cost-based tax rules are traditionally applied for accounting purposes. Other SMEs can similarly improve the likelihood of obtaining new capital from potential investors by complementing the information provided in financial statements with detailed data regarding fair value calculation of biological assets.

Los mercados están posicionados globalmente donde las personas intercambian bienes y servicios por dinero y gracias al auge de Internet se han producido cambios desde una perspectiva cultural, económica y de consumo (Moya, 2015; Londoño, Mora & Valencia, 2018). La presente reflexión considera identificar las características de la implementación de herramientas de mercadeo digital los aspectos teóricos y estado del arte del contexto mundial, permitiendo dar a conocer una evolución del mercadeo digital como parte fundamental del desarrollo de las comunicaciones globales para las empresas. Y en el caso de Colombia la revisión de artículos de investigaciones, publicaciones, diarios y/o noticias, identifica dos aspectos básicos: 1) La incidencia del mercadeo digital como eje transformador de la industria colombiana, y 2) la instauración de un nuevo paradigma en la comunicación entre organización y consumidor. Esta reflexión permite concluir que Colombia actualmente enfrenta un enorme desafío en la implementación exitosa de una estrategia digital, pues a pesar de algunos casos de éxito, no se ha terminado de consolidar su implementación con relación a distintos factores.

Contexto: Las pymes, en general, cumplen un papel muy importante en la economía y en la generación de empleo para Colombia, como país en desarrollo. Particularmente inmersas en este gran conjunto de empresas se encuentran las pymes de consultoría informática, las cuales, dentro de las empresas asociadas al área de tecnologías de información, generaron las mayores ventas del sector para 2015 (Ministerio de las Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones de Colombia [MinTIC], 2015). Sin embargo, a pesar de su gran representación y crecimiento, uno de los principales factores que inciden en sus problemáticas son los métodos de gestión de proyectos utilizados; de hecho, autores como Silveira y Silva (2015) indican la creciente tendencia y necesidad de la adaptación de marcos ágiles en las empresas. Así mismo, Whitney y Daniels (2013) refuerzan la idea del potencial de la adopción de estas metodologías en proyectos de tecnologías de información (TI), debido a su flexibilidad ante situaciones cambiantes y maleabilidad frente a controles formales. Método: Como metodología se planteó la caracterización y definición de los aspectos críticos comunes sobre los proyectos gestionados del sector de consultoría informática, lo cual permitió continuar con la correlación de los aspectos críticos comunes identificados con marcos ágiles en gerencia de proyectos para así, usando la información obtenida, diseñar un modelo ágil en gerencia de proyectos para pymes de consultoría informática en Bogotá, finalizando con su respectiva validación. Resultados: Se diseñó y valido el modelo para pymes de consultoría informática en Bogotá, sobre un proyecto desarrollado por una de las empresas de la muestra representativa, que cumplía con las características del estudio, sobre el cual se observó un porcentaje de mejora del 77 %, en el tiempo de entrega, del 57 % en la gestión de costo sin afectaciones a su alcance, en cumplimiento con lo requerido por el cliente. Conclusiones: Tomando como base los resultados obtenidos al implementar el modelo desarrollado, se infiere que, al implementar el modelo en los proyectos desarrollados por empresas de consultoría informática en Bogotá (Colombia), pueden llegar a tener resultados satisfactorios en el desarrollo de sus proyectos, en cuanto al tiempo, costo y alcance, pues la validación permitió observar una mejora del 77 % en cuanto a las desviaciones de tiempo y un 57 % respecto a las desviaciones de costo precisando una mínima afectación al cumplimiento de los alcances comprometidos.

Para frenar la pandemia provocada por el Covid-19, tanto personas como empresas se vieron obligadas a pausar la mayoría de actividades cotidianas, suscitando una crisis en el comercio y en la economía global. Las pymes se vieron especialmente afectadas, en parte por su vulnerabilidad económica y su economía de supervivencia. No obstante, para algunas, el reducido tamaño y la estructura flexible fueron factores impulsores de cambio y adaptación. El propósito de este artículo es aportar una narrativa acerca de la adaptación en pymes frente a la pandemia del Covid-19, explorando procesos y estrategias utilizadas para garantizar su supervivencia. Desde el punto de vista metodológico, se realizó una revisión narrativa de la literatura de la producción científica en las bases WOS y Scopus, y se construyó la base documental de análisis como una revisión semisistemática de la literatura. Los principales hallazgos identificaron dos procesos de adaptación en las pymes para hacer frente a la pandemia: la innovación y la resiliencia, mediados por estrategias como el uso de tecnologías y colaboraciones externas, en entendimiento de las nuevas necesidades de los clientes. Esta revisión pretende aumentar el marco teórico para próximas investigaciones y que las estrategias propuestas sirvan como posibles guías para las empresas en futuras eventualidades.

El presente artículo se enfoca en la validación de una herramienta de vinculación colaborativa, orientada a fortalecer el desempeño de pequeñas y medianas empresas de regiones periféricas. Para ello, se utiliza la metodología de investigación-acción, que permite verificar la factibilidad de aplicación de la herramienta desarrollada, en simultáneo con su diseño y mejora, corroborando los diferentes momentos, etapas y pasos de la herramienta y los procedimientos de soporte en diferentes situaciones. También analiza la coexistencia de esta metodología de vinculación, con modelos preexistentes y las posibilidades de potenciar dichos modelos y enriquecer a los agentes de cambio involucrados. Las experiencias realizadas permitieron comprobar la flexibilidad de la herramienta y de sus procedimientos de soporte, así como la posibilidad de aplicación y sus relaciones con cada uno de los distintos agentes de desarrollo de regiones periféricas. Durante la investigación, se realizaron mejoras a los instrumentos desarrollados, que permitieron reducir los riesgos inherentes a las acciones de vinculación y favorecer la sinergia para el fortalecimiento del tejido empresarial.

También, se confirma la existencia de una relación importante entre el nivel educativo de los empresarios y la presencia de certificaciones dentro de la empresa.

The demands of the world economy and the health contingency caused by the COVID-19 virus have led to the creation of more innovative business models to meet the needs of society and the demands of a more competitive market, where companies they have been forced to seek their continuity. The study analyzes the philosophy of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the 2030 Agenda. In Mexico, in this sense, it has established alliances with the public and private sectors, where companies they participate in certifications for the CSR badge, which is evaluated based on the SDGs, but due to various factors they cannot maintain the badge for a long time. For this reason, the design of an inclusive Business Model based on the objective regarding economic impact is proposed in this research, which focuses on industry, innovation and infrastructure, the reduction of inequalities, consumption and responsible production, decent work and economic growth decoupled from environmental degradation. That is why the objective of the research is focused on determining the factors to achieve the premises of the 2030 Agenda through CSR. This research was carried out in the State of Sinaloa, Mexico, considering 326 certified companies from the agricultural, commercial and service sector, analyzing internal factors and problems, primarily highlighting the disarticulation of the strategy with the principles and dimensions of CSR: ethics, quality of life, environment and community, under this premise the research was focused with a qualitative approach. The level of the research was exploratory, thus opening the way to deepen the subject in future research, in the data collection the survey, interview and in-situ observation were applied. The results express that companies have multiple problems that must be solved by improving the mechanisms and culture of CSR, and must be assumed by the staff and the owners, proposing a model as an alternative to evaluate the economic, social and environmental situation. Environment in the short and long term, provide recommendations and restructure strategies to improve their actions and allow them to be active agents in fulfilling the SDGs in the new context for the development of their regions.

Software process standards such as the ISO/IEC 29110 have been implemented by Very Small Entities (VSE) in order to develop quality software and achieve improvements in terms of time, budget, documentation, and other subjects. The generic profile group established in such a standard includes a set of profiles with situational factors of occurrence applicable to some VSEs. However, documented case studies of the ISO/IEC 29110 implementation in Latin America companies are limited, causing uncertainty about the viability of such a standard in VSEs established in the region. Different conditions of each environment—company type, size, country, etc.—can influence the implementation of a software project. Such a fact can affect the possibility of quality improvement by using the standard. In this paper we implement the project management process included in the basic profile of the ISO/IEC 29110 in an automotive Ecuadorian company. We identified extra effort—17.30%—and overruns—17.06%—triggered by implementing the project management process in this exercise are within the parameters defined and evaluated in previous literature. Besides, we summarize a set of lessons learned acquired during such an implementation. Finally, the findings of this study will allow VSEs to decide whether is convenient to implement this standard in such an environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El crowdfunding es un mecanismo mediante el cual personas naturales, jurídicas, organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro, empresas, fondos o cualquier otra forma de asociación contractual o legal recaudan recursos económicos para ejecutar iniciativas empresariales, culturales y sociales, entre otras. Según su tipología, pueden basarse en donaciones, recompensas, inversiones (valores) o préstamos. Debido a la crisis mundial del COVID-19, la economía nacional se ha visto altamente afectada. El crowdfunding podría contribuir a su mejoramiento, al utilizarse como alternativa para el recaudo de recursos económicos que permitan la reactivación e incluso el crecimiento de la actividad económica.
