Competitiveness's Determinants in the Avocado Export Sector's Value Chain

This article discusses the importance of innovation and knowledge as a sustainable competitive advantage in the value chain of avocado exporters located in Uruapan, Michoacan. The measurement of these dimensions is made to indicators used in this research model, in bringing the measure up to this level of analysis allows us to know the source of competitive advantage. The results of the measurement of innovation and knowledge generated by operators of the avocado value chain (growers, producers, packers, and transporters). Thus, the objective of the research is to determine to what extent innovation and knowledge are the main variables that affect the competitive advantage in the value chain avocado Michoacan’s exporters.The article is generated from scientific research and has a descriptive correlational design, describes the subject matter and determines the correlation of the independent variables with the dependent variable competitive advantages in the value chain of export companies’ avocado in Michoacan. The sample size was: Nurserymen 51, 354 Producers,Packers 29 and Transporters 8. The general hypothesis is: innovation and knowledge are the main variables that affect the competitive advantage of the links in the value chain avocado exporting Michoacan’s companies and will be contrasted with the Likert Scale, using a questionnaire to obtain information of the object of study field.

Identificación y relación matemática de los principales factores en la estructura de capital del sector electrónico en Jalisco (Identification and Mathematical Relationship of Principal Factors in Capital Structure of Electronics Industry in Jalisco)

Spanish Abstract: El identificar los principales factores institucionales del pais huesped y de la empresa, asi como estimar la relacion que cada factor ejerce al incorporar deuda al formar la estructura de capital de las filiales de empresas multinacionales, constituyo el objeto de estudio de esta investigacion. El contexto para analizar este fenomeno se conformo con datos de 20 filiales de empresas multinacionales del sector de la electronica establecidas en Jalisco, por el periodo comprendido entre 1995 y 2002. La no constatacion en el mundo real de la empresa de una estructura financiera normativa, nos planteo la necesidad de revisar las hipotesis existentes asi como las teorias, estudios empiricos y postulados con sus diferentes enfoques. La revision de teorias y estudios empiricos le dieron fundamento solido a los cuestionamientos, objetivos y problemas que nos planteamos.La deuda o apalancamiento fue la variable dependiente y se estimo la relacion que ejercen las variables independientes conformadas por los principales factores institucionales de la empresa y del pais que previamente fueron identificados. La tecnica estadistica utilizada para estimar la relacion, fue la conocida como datos de panel y la informacion se proceso mediante el programa electronico E- Views.La estimacion de la relacion conjunta a traves de la tecnica multivariante nos exigio una exploracion previa de los datos mediante analisis univariante y bivariante. Los datos ordenados, graficados y analizados se utilizaron para alimentar el programa E-Vews, identificando asi la relacion positiva o negativa que ejercen los principales factores de la empresa y del pais al incorporar deuda al formar la estructura de capital.English Abstract: Identifying key institutional factors of the host country and the company, as well as, estimating the relationship that each factor carries by incorporating debt capital structure of subsidiaries of multinational companies, was the purpose of this research. The context for this analysis was set using data from 20 subsidiaries of multinational electronic industry in Jalisco, within the period of the year 1995 and 2002. Having found the negative assertion of the real world in the company of a financial regulatory structure, raised us the need to review existing assumptions and theories, postulates and empirical studies with different approaches. The review of theories and empirical studies gave a firm foundation to questions, objectives and challenges that we face. Debt leverage was the dependent variable and the relationship that exert the independent variables conformed by the main institutional factors of the company and the country which were previously were identified, was estimated. The statistical technique used to estimate the relationship, was known as panel data and process information through the electronic E-Views.The estimation of the joint through the technique known as multivariate demanded us a previous exploration of the data using univariate and bivariate analysis. Sorted data, graphs and analysis were used to power the E-Views, and identifying the positive or negative exert the main factors of the company and the country by incorporating capital structure.

LA FLEXIBILIDAD DE LA LOGÍSTICA COMO UNA ESTRATEGIA EMPRESARIAL EN LA INDUSTRIA DEL MUEBLE DE ESPAÑA

The realization of the economic enterprise of every economic unit is a complex problem and a result of the cooperation of many factors of social and material character. In addition to the use with effectiveness of the material and technical basis which form the long term assets which the economic unit has at its disposal, before and during its functional process, a special importance but also important take also the long term assets among which are the inventories. The process of inventory valuation is important for the economic unit, to ensure a real presentation of financial review. For this condition to be met a very important element is the implementation of the National Standards of Accounting.

Innovation in Services: Conceptual Model Relating Competitiveness in the Popular Community Banks of the Region of Sierra De Amula and South Coast of Jalisco, Mexico

It is a fact that the current banking system serves only a small number of depositors and Popular Community Banks (PCB), are a very important social alternative because its origins as posed by the development of the members and the community, unlike banking approach is profitability.The region of Sierra de Amula y Costa Sur de Jalisco (SACSJ) is known for high retention of the 4 PCB subjects, which contrasts with the sad experiences of their counterparts in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara, which have fallen into bad practices and even fraud. The main reason of this document, is to study the successful model of the PCB in SACSJ region, that inspires to discover the Variables of Innovation in Services (VIS) relating competitiveness to stay and growth in a Conceptual Model, to allow the managers of these PCB to recognize, and decides to transform and implement actions in order to become more competitive. To achieve this, was carry out a literature review and empirical query to 15 experts in PCB. 4 VIS were determined: Profile of the Leader, Regulations, Decisions Management and Innovation. Each of one were characterized to determine finally: Profile of the Leader with 3 Dimensions and 8 Indicators; Regulations with 2 Dimensions and 4 Indicators; Management Decisions with 6 Dimensions, 12 Indicators, Innovation: 1 Dimension, 4 Indicators.
