Download or read book Entrepreneurship in Spain written by Juan Manuel Matés-Barco and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The figure of the entrepreneur has become a relevant factor that explains the process of growth and economic development. Rising unemployment rates have generated among institutional and private agents, a significant interest in promoting entrepreneurship as a formula to eradicate this social scourge of unemployment. Active policies that favor business culture and initiative are being promoted in all areas. In the university world, academic research has multiplied the work on entrepreneurship, a term that includes a triple meaning: the figure of the entrepreneur, the business function and the creation of companies. This versatile meaning must be based on a consistent theory about the company and the entrepreneur. This book presents specific cases of companies and entrepreneurs that have had their role throughout the history of Spain. The intention is to show the techniques and learning acquired by those agents, which have allowed a considerable advance in the knowledge of the structure and business development. This book brings together the research carried out by its authors with primary sources and makes it accessible to a wide audience—Spanish and Latin American—and will be of value to researchers, academics, and students with an interest in Spanish entrepreneurship, business, and management history.

This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the economic history of the company and entrepreneurship in Spain from the 15th century to the present. It evaluates the economic theory, the formation of the figure of the entrepreneur, as well as the structure of the companies. This exploration of the businessmen in Spain over several centuries is something that has not been done until now. Joining the great Spanish historiographical debate about the existence or not of entrepreneurship, the book brings together research in very different historical contexts and junctures. It presents a selection of cases of companies and entrepreneurs from Spain, from different sectors, regions and periods, from boom to crisis, from the wine businessman to the railway sector, from private banking to the pioneers of the Spanish travel agency business. It will be of interest to academics and students in economic history, business and management history, as well as researchers in entrepreneurship & small business management.

Download or read book El poder de los empresarios written by Mercedes Cabrera and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La relación entre economía y política ha despertado el interés no sólo de los historiadores y científicos sociales, sino de la opinión pública en general y de comentaristas de todo tipo, y en muchas ocasiones se ha prestado a interpretaciones extremas y simplistas. El poder de los empresarios, una nueva edición revisada y puesta al día, recorre las relaciones entre los intereses económicos y la política en España a lo largo de más de un siglo, desde los tiempos de la Monarquía constitucional a la democracia actual, pasando por las dos dictaduras -la más breve de Primo de Rivera y la prolongada del general Franco-, la Segunda República y la guerra civil; desde los tiempos en que España era todavía un país esencialmente agrario, escasamente industrializado y muy cerrado al exterior, hasta la actual economía desarrollada, incorporada a Europa y abierta al orden económico internacional. En esas distintas etapas de nuestra historia, hasta la más reciente actualidad, bajo regímenes políticos dispares y en situaciones económicas diferentes, se analiza la lógica en la actuación de unos y otros, su instrumentación recíproca, los momentos en los que la política pareció prevalecer sobre los intereses económicos y aquellos en los que la economía pareció imponer sus reglas a quienes adoptaron las decisiones políticas.
Download or read book The Dynamics of Big Business written by Veronica Binda and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the Twentieth Century, big business has been a basic institution. Large corporations have provided a fundamental contribution to the wealth of nations and, at the same time, have had a remarkable impact on the political and social systems within which they have operated. It is difficult to understand the development of the most advanced economies if we do not consider the specific evolution of big business in every national case. On the other hand, it is not possible to explain the shape and behavior of big business without considering its development as part of the history of the country in which they operate. The largest US, German, British and French firms were key actors in favoring their nations' development and, even at the end of the Twentieth Century, made a very important contribution to their growth. In many countries, a stable core of large corporations developed only relatively lately, or did not develop at all, and under these circumstances, big business was not able to significantly participate in the economic growth of such countries. Scholars who dealt with the economic history of Italy and Spain are generally unanimous in tagging these nations as industrial late-comers, ineffective in promoting big autochthonous private and State-owned firms, dominated by family companies, and characterized by a strong competitive advantage on the part of small and medium-sized enterprises. At the same time, Spanish and Italian business and economic historians have tended to say little about the role and features of big business. This book thus fills a significant gap in the work on the development of Southern European capitalism and its large corporations by analyzing the Italian and Spanish cases and comparing them with each other and with what has occurred in the United States and in the largest European nations. Examining both the macro dynamics (national but also supra national) and the micro level, utilizing samples of big corporations and going deeply into some company cases, this volume identifies some important protagonists of the Italian and Spanish economies (such as the State, families and foreign investors) and investigates a wider panorama which includes the political, economic and social relationships of the corporations, providing insights into the form of capitalism that exists in these countries.

This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un recorrido por la historia acerca de las teorias sobre el empresario y su funcion, una tendencia actual en la funcion empresarial de las modernas organizaciones empresariales, y un analisis empirico sobre la funcion empresarial en empresas de Internet. Todo ello es tratado en este estudio sobre la funcion empresarial, en el que se presenta al factor humano como recurso mas valioso de la empresa por su potencial creativo e intelectual. Esto se pone cada vez mas de manifiesto en la realidad de las organizaciones empresariales, que tratan de aprovechar los mayores conocimientos y aptitudes de los profesionales en un mundo sin fronteras, y fuertemente competitivo. La formacion intelectual, la actitud emprendedora, la capacidad de adaptacion al cambio, o incluso mejor aun, la habilidad para provocarlo, son rasgos del perfil profesional principalmente valorado hoy por los responsables de recursos humanos de las empresas cuyas organizaciones son mas flexibles y dinamicas. Pero precisamente aquellos rasgos son los que de siempre han servido de fundamento para la actividad empresarial generadora de riqueza y desarrollo. Se buscan "empresarios"?"
Download or read book The Power of Entrepreneurs written by Mercedes Cabrera and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Spain is an important member of the EU, relatively little is known about its economy and its interrelationship with political forces. This book, the first of its kind, offers a long-term view and analyzes this ever-changing relationship throughout the 20th century with its various upheavals such as the crisis of the democratic republic and the civil war in the 1930s, the long General Franco dictatorship from the 1940s until the 1970s and the subsequent transition to democracy. From the detailed studies of individual cases, specific companies as well as entrepreneurial organizations, a very diverse picture emerges, contradicting widespread simplistic interpretations of politico-economic linkages, which demonstrates both the pluralism of the economic interests as well as the complexity of their relationship to the political class.

Download or read book Evolution of Family Business written by Paloma Fernández Pérez and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family businesses are everywhere, but there is little information regarding their growth and development. This book is one of the few to analyse the identity and evolution of the largest family businesses in Latin America and Spain. With contributions from 20 scholars from 12 different countries, the book compares the relationship of families in business within their national economies, foreign capital, migration, and politics. The authors deny the existence of a ‘Latin type’ of family capitalism in their countries, and highlight diversity, and national and regional differences. This interdisciplinary book will be useful for students and scholars of economics, management, history, sociology, and anthropology. Politicians, family business consultants, family businesses, and international institutions will also benefit from insights within this book.
Download or read book La profesionalizaci n de las empresas familiares written by Paloma Fernández Pérez and published by Editorial Almuzara. This book was released on 2013-03 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los negocios familiares dominaron y dominan la vida empresarial en España, pero apenas sabemos nada sobre el proceso de modernización de su gestión. En los dos últimos siglos estas empresas y grupos de control familiar han tenido que aprender a ir más allá de sus mercados locales y regionales y buscar formas de adaptarse a los retos de tres revoluciones tecnológicas que han cambiado su forma de producir, de relacionarse y de pensar. Los autores de La profesionalización de las empresas familiares (Pablo Díaz Morlán, Miguel A. López-Morell, Ma Mercedes Bernabé Pérez, José Luis García Ruiz, Elena San Román López, Ma Jesús Segovia Vargas, Susana Blanco García, Javier Moreno Lázaro y Paloma Fernández) destacan cómo éstas han sabido conservar sus raíces a la par que han promovido la profesionalización en la gestión.
Download or read book Empresas y empresarios en Espa a written by Juan Manuel Matés Barco and published by Ediciones Pirámide. This book was released on 2019-10-03 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En el libro se desarrollan casos de empresas y empresarios españoles a lo largo de la Historia y considerando diferentes situaciones empresariales, desde las compañías y negocios en Castilla en los siglos XV-XVI, hasta el caso más actual de Lingotes Especiales, que en los últimos cincuenta años ha evolucionado de pyme a empresa multinacional. El objetivo de esta recopilación y sucesión de casos es facilitar la toma de decisiones en el mundo empresarial. Pero, sin duda, al mismo tiempo supone una propuesta relevante en el ámbito de la Historia de la Empresa. Los temas tratados revelan las distintas concepciones y los centros de interés de las empresas y los empresarios españoles a lo largo de los últimos siglos. Se han buscado casos de regiones que tradicionalmente se han presentado con menor actividad empresarial: Andalucía y Castilla y León. Otros responden a zonas marginales -desde el punto de vista geográfico-, como Menorca, y también se han seleccionado situaciones en el ámbito de Madrid. La selección realiza una discriminación positiva, mostrando empresas y empresarios de ámbitos menos conocidos, tanto desde el punto de vista regional como sectorial. Algunos capítulos abordan sectores más generales como el abastecimiento de aguas, el transporte por ferrocarril, el turismo y la evolución durante la transición política de la dictadura a la democracia.

Download or read book American Firms in Europe written by Hubert Bonin and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 2009 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Americanization of Europe and the strategic initiatives of American firms abroad have been well studied. The expansion of American firms in Europe, however, lacked a comprehensive study. This book gathers the works of two dozen economic and business historians from across Europe, preceded by Mira Wilkins' comparative essay. The collection addresses the timetable and pace of American direct investment in Europe, the patterns followed in each country according to the specificities of each industry and service sector, and the strategies followed by the different firms. The studies go beyond the facts, scrutinizing the immaterial aspects of this business history, especially European perceptions of American firms and the essential stakes of corporate images and identities. The Europeanization of American firms is a key issue, including social relations, management, commercial policies, brand image, connections and embeddedness. The authors gauge the reaction of public authorities and lobbies (industrialists and trade unions). Graphs and tables provide data, while overviews of ads published by American affiliates fuel analyses of consumer perception.
