Book excerpt: El presente proyecto consiste en el diseño de un modelo que involucra los conceptos de la logística inversa en empresas de tecnología y es aplicado a la empresa Sony Colombia en su división de venta directa Sony Style en Bogotá. La logística inversa es el proceso de proyectar, implementar y controlar el flujo de materia prima, inventario en proceso, productos terminados e información relacionada desde el punto de consumo hasta el punto de origen de una forma eficiente y lo más económica posible con el fin de recuperar su valor ó el valor de la propia devolución. El residuo obtenido se busca que pueda ser reintroducido en la cadena de suministro obteniendo de esta manera un valor agregado o una adecuada eliminación del mismo. El proyecto presenta algunos fundamentos teóricos de la logística inversa y aplica estos conceptos a la situación actual de Sony Colombia proponiendo un modelo aplicable que funciona desde la actual cadena logística de la compañía. A partir de ella propone la aplicación e incorporación de procesos que permitirán la adecuación del modelo propuesto a la empresa. Adicionalmente el modelo utiliza los recursos actuales de Sony Style, su estructura administrativa y los servicios que actualmente ofrece al consumidor. Se parte de una descripción de la cadena de suministro actual y luego se aplican los conceptos para finalmente proponer un modelo que se adapte a las necesidades y estrategias de la compañía y que pueda dar una ventaja competitiva ayudando a crear en Sony Colombia una imagen de empresa comprometida con el ambiente a través de sus almacenes de venta directa Sony Style.

Book excerpt: Resumen: El presente estudio tiene como finalidad proponer un modelo para aplicación de la logística inversa en el reciclaje tecnológico en las empresas prestadoras de servicios públicos de Pereira. Con la masificación de la tecnología, se ha llegado a un punto en que los equipos electrónicos, suelen cambiarse como elementos de moda o también por la rápida aparición de equipos con mejores prestaciones, esto hace que sean desechados con mucha frecuencia, llegando rápidamente a clasificarse como basura. Se debe tener en cuenta que muchos componentes de los equipos electrónicos no son biodegradables y además pueden ser tóxicos. El actual crecimiento en los niveles de información y los grandes volúmenes de datos que se administran a nivel mundial han llevado a que las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) se desarrollen rápidamente y cambien constantemente, lo que ocasiona una disminución de los costos de la tecnología y una reducción en el ciclo de vida tecnológico; como resultado, plataformas y sistemas con capacidad funcional son reemplazadas en cortos tiempos, convirtiendo los residuos electrónicos en una de las corrientes de residuos más grandes y de más rápido crecimiento en el mundo...

Download or read book The Connector Manager written by Jaime Roca and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are four distinct types of managers. One performs much worse than the rest, and one performs far better. Which type are you? Based on a first-of-its-kind, wide-ranging global study of over 9,000 people, analysts at the global research and advisory firm Gartner were able to classify all managers into one of four types: Teacher managers, who develop employees' skills based on their own expertise and direct their development along a similar track to their own. Cheerleader managers, who give positive feedback while taking a general hands-off approach to employee development. Always-on managers, who provide constant, frequent feedback and coaching on all aspects of the employee's performance. Connector managers, who provide feedback in their area of expertise while connecting employees to others in the team or organization who are better suited to address specific needs. Although the four types of managers are more or less evenly distributed, the Connector manager consistently outperforms the others by a significant margin. Meanwhile, Always-on managers tend to see their employees struggle to grow within the organization. Why is that? Drawing on their groundbreaking data-driven research, as well as in-depth case studies and extensive interviews with managers and employees at companies like IBM, Accenture, and eBay, the authors show what behaviors define a Connector manager, and why they are able to build powerhouse teams. They also show why other types of managers fail to be equally effective, and how they can incorporate behaviors of Connector managers in order to be more effective at building teams.

Download or read book The North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA written by M. Villarreal and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) entered into force on January 1, 1994. The agreement was signed by President George H. W. Bush on December 17, 1992, and approved by Congress on November 20, 1993. The NAFTA Implementation Act was signed into law by President William J. Clinton on December 8, 1993 (P.L. 103-182). The overall economic impact of NAFTA is difficult to measure since trade and investment trends are influenced by numerous other economic variables, such as economic growth, inflation, and currency fluctuations. The agreement likely accelerated and also locked in trade liberalization that was already taking place in Mexico, but many of these changes may have taken place without an agreement. Nevertheless, NAFTA is significant, because it was the most comprehensive free trade agreement (FTA) negotiated at the time and contained several groundbreaking provisions. A legacy of the agreement is that it has served as a template or model for the new generation of FTAs that the United States later negotiated, and it also served as a template for certain provisions in multilateral trade negotiations as part of the Uruguay Round. The 115th Congress faces numerous issues related to NAFTA and international trade. President Donald J. Trump has proposed renegotiating NAFTA, or possibly withdrawing from it. Congress may wish to consider the ramifications of renegotiating or withdrawing from NAFTA and how it may affect the U.S. economy and foreign relations with Mexico and Canada. It may also wish to examine the congressional role in a possible renegotiation, as well as the negotiating positions of Canada and Mexico. Mexico has stated that, if NAFTA is reopened, it may seek to broaden negotiations to include security, counter-narcotics, and transmigration issues. Mexico has also indicated that it may choose to withdraw from the agreement if the negotiations are not favorable to the country. Congress may also wish to address issues related to the U.S. withdrawal from the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement among the United States, Canada, Mexico, and 9 other countries. Some observers contend that the withdrawal from TPP could damage U.S. competitiveness and economic leadership in the region, while others see the withdrawal as a way to prevent lower cost imports and potential job losses. Key provisions in TPP may also be addressed in 'modernizing' or renegotiating NAFTA, a more than two decade-old FTA. NAFTA was controversial when first proposed, mostly because it was the first FTA involving two wealthy, developed countries and a developing country. The political debate surrounding the agreement was divisive with proponents arguing that the agreement would help generate thousands of jobs and reduce income disparity in the region, while opponents warned that the agreement would cause huge job losses in the United States as companies moved production to Mexico to lower costs. In reality, NAFTA did not cause the huge job losses feared by the critics or the large economic gains predicted by supporters. The net overall effect of NAFTA on the U.S. economy appears to have been relatively modest, primarily because trade with Canada and Mexico accounts for a small percentage of U.S. GDP. However, there were worker and firm adjustment costs as the three countries adjusted to more open trade and investment. The rising number of bilateral and regional trade agreements throughout the world and the rising presence of China in Latin America could have implications for U.S. trade policy with its NAFTA partners. Some proponents of open and rules-based trade contend that maintaining NAFTA or deepening economic relations with Canada and Mexico will help promote a common trade agenda with shared values and generate economic growth. Some opponents argue that the agreement has caused worker displacement.

Download or read book Capital for the Future written by The World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2013-05-16 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gradual acceleration of growth in developing countries is a defining feature of the past two decades. This acceleration came with major shifts in patterns of investment, saving, and capital flows. This second volume in the Global Development Horizons series analyzes these shifts and explores how they may evolve through 2030. Average domestic saving in developing countries stood at 34 percent of their GDP in 2010, up from 24 percent in 1990, while their investment was around 33 percent of their GDP in 2012, up from 26 percent. These trends in saving and investment, along with higher growth rates in developing countries, have resulted in developing countries’ share of global savings now standing at 46 percent, nearly double the level of the 1990s. The presence of developing countries on the global stage will continue to expand over the next two decades. Analysis in this report projects that by 2030, China will account for 30 percent of global investment activity, far and away the largest share of any single country, while India and Brazil (at 7 percent and 3 percent) will account for shares comparable to those of the United States and Japan (11 percent and 5 percent). The complex interaction among aging, growth, and financial deepening can be expected to result in a world where developing countries will contribute 62 of every 100 dollars of world saving in 2030, up from 45 dollars in 2010, and where they account for between $6.2 trillion and $13 trillion of global gross capital flows, rising from $1.3 trillion in 2010. Trends in investment, saving, and capital flows through 2030 will affect economic conditions from the household level to the global macroeconomic level, with implications not only for national policy makers but also for international institutions and policy coordination. Policymakers preparing for this change will benefit from a better understanding of the unfolding dynamics of global capital and wealth in the future. This book is accompanied by a website, http://www.worldbank.org/CapitalForTheFuture, that includes a host of related electronic resources: data sets underlying the two main scenarios presented in the report, background papers, technical appendixes, interactive widgets with variations to some of the assumptions used in the projections, and related audio and video resources.

Download or read book A Wicked War written by Amy S. Greenberg and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2013-08-13 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive history of the often forgotten U.S.-Mexican War paints an intimate portrait of the major players and their world—from Indian fights and Manifest Destiny, to secret military maneuvers, gunshot wounds, and political spin. “If one can read only a single book about the Mexican-American War, this is the one to read.” —The New York Review of Books Often overlooked, the U.S.-Mexican War featured false starts, atrocities, and daring back-channel negotiations as it divided the nation, paved the way for the Civil War a generation later, and launched the career of Abraham Lincoln. Amy S. Greenberg’s skilled storytelling and rigorous scholarship bring this American war for empire to life with memorable characters, plotlines, and legacies. Along the way it captures a young Lincoln mismatching his clothes, the lasting influence of the Founding Fathers, the birth of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and America’s first national antiwar movement. A key chapter in the creation of the United States, it is the story of a burgeoning nation and an unforgettable conflict that has shaped American history.

Download or read book Canada U S Relations written by Carl Ek and published by New York : Novinka Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1980's, the United States and Canada generally enjoyed very close relations. The early 1990's brought new governments to Ottawa and Washington and although Canada's Liberal Party ran-and won-on a platform that emphasised its intentions to act more independently of the Unites Sates, relations between the two countries have continued to be excellent. The two North American countries continue to co-operate extensively in international security and political issues, both bilaterally and through numerous international organisations. Canada's foreign and defence policies are usually in harmony with those of the United States. Areas of contention are relatively few, but sometimes sharp, as have been the case in the policy towards Cuba. Since September 11, the United States and Canada have co-operated extensively on efforts to combat terrorism. This book provides an overview of Canada's political scene, its economic conditions and its recent security and foreign policy.
