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 The Role of Factoring for Financing Small and Medium Enterprises written by Leora Klapper and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Around the world, factoring is a growing source of external financing for corporations and small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). What is unique about factoring is that the credit provided by a lender is explicitly linked to the value of a supplier ' s accounts receivable and not the supplier ' s overall creditworthiness. Therefore, factoring allows high-risk suppliers to transfer their credit risk to their high-quality buyers. Factoring may be particularly useful in countries with weak judicial enforcement and imperfect records of upholding seniority claims because receivables are sold, rather than collateralized, and factored receivables are not part of the estate of a bankrupt SME. Empirical tests find that factoring is larger in countries with greater economic development and growth and developed credit information bureaus. In addition, the author finds that creditor rights are not related to factoring ... " -- Cover verso.

Download or read book Sustainable Rural Development written by José Luis Gurría Gascón and published by Mdpi AG. This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2020, a Special Issue titled "Sustainable Rural Development: Strategies, Good Practices and Opportunities" was launched, in which 16 papers were published. The aim of this monograph was to study a problem that is occurring on a global scale and, above all, in the most developed countries, which is the population emigration from rural areas to urban areas due to the labour and service opportunities offered by the latter. This is causing a demographic deterioration of rural areas, and those that remain show high rates of ageing, masculinisation, or low demographic growth. In addition, and interrelated with this demographic deterioration, there is economic and environmental degradation. Rural areas are territories with increasingly lower purchasing power, job opportunities, and services for the population, which are classified as "spaces in crisis". The papers in this Special Issue evidence the many public and private strategies that are being pursued to achieve sustainable rural development in declining areas. The diversity of approaches offer a vision of the practical application and the obstacles or difficulties that many of them are having to achieve their objectives. All of these strategies are intended to achieve economic dynamism that is respectful of the environment and from there to be able to reduce the regressive demographic processes in rural areas. These are different approaches that allow us to contribute, from scientific, holistic, and multidisciplinary knowledge, and they can help decision making in public policy and planning strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: University and industry, up to now relatively separate and distinct institutional spheres, are assuming tasks that were formerly largely the province of the other in the development of new technologies. A new social contract is being drawn up between the university and the larger society, in which public funding for the university is made contingent upon a more direct contribution to the economy. Has economic development become a function of the university in addition to teaching and research? As the university crosses traditional boundaries through linkages to industry, it must devise ways to make its multiple purposes compatible with each other. The impetuses include: the industrial activities of individual academics in forming firms, which take on a collective force as they become Increasingly common; the organisational inititiatives of academic administrators in establishing procedures and administrative offices for university-industry relations...

Download or read book Plan de internacionalizaci n de la PYME en la pr ctica written by José María Sainz de Vicuña Ancín and published by ESIC Editorial. This book was released on 2015-05-25 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Práctico, interesante, estimulante y actual», son algunos de los adjetivos que les ha sugerido la lectura de Plan de internacionalización de la PYME en la práctica a aquellos profesionales que han tenido la oportunidad de examinarlo antes de su publicación. Está escrito con la voluntad de ofrecer a la dirección de una pyme un instrumento de trabajo útil y eficaz que le conduzca, paso a paso, en la elaboración de un plan de internacionalización. Para ello, como suele ser habitual en este autor, el libro de José Mª Sainz de Vicuña muestra cuatro casos de pymes en situaciones muy distintas en cuanto a fecha de creación, tamaño, sector de actividad, estadio de internacionalización y alcance de la misma: El capítulo 3 presenta la internacionalización de Centork: una empresa industrial, creada en 2002, que tiene producto propio y que, facturando unos cuatro millones de euros, el 80% proviene del exterior y ahora está integrada en un grupo multinacional. El capítulo 4 muestra el caso de Ternua Group: una empresa de artículos deportivos, cuya matriz data de 1989. Nace con un enfoque local e inicia su internacionalización para conseguir lo que no logra en su mercado interior, luchar con multinacionales de la talla de Adidas y Nike encontrando sus propios nichos de mercado. Factura unos treinta millones de euros, de los que el 33% proviene del exterior. El capítulo 5 expone el caso de EGA Master, que nace en 1990 y desde su nacimiento se posiciona como empresa internacional, produciendo y comercializando herramientas de mano. Factura unos veintidós millones de euros, de los cuales el 86% proviene de más de ciento cincuenta países de los cinco continentes; cuenta con filiales en cuatro de ellos y el 40% lo obtiene en mercados emergentes. El capítulo 6 da a conocer el caso de una start up (Nire iHealth) que nace en diciembre de 2013, con un planteamiento global. En 2014 facturó en Colombia menos de cincuenta mil euros, y su plan de internacionalización contempla para los próximos años varios miles de millones de euros, con soluciones de autogestión de la salud, basadas en la prevención. En resumen, Plan de internacionalización de la pyme en la práctica trata de cubrir la laguna que encuentran las pequeñas empresas cuando buscan asesoramiento en sus procesos de internacionalización, mostrando el ejemplo de casos reales de empresas con su misma dimensión.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entre las decisiones estratégicas que se deben tomar en cualquier proceso de internacionalización empresarial sobresale la de seleccionar el mecanismo de entrada para operar en cada país-mercado elegido, es decir, resolver cómo internacionalizarse de la manera más apropiada. Una gran cantidad de empresas, sobre todo las Pymes, se decantan –en principio– por la exportación, actividad que puede desarrollarse en solitario o a través de mecanismos como los consorcios de exportación. En esta obra, el lector encontrará valiosa información acerca de las principales teorías de la dirección estratégica, así como de la internacionalización de la Pyme. Se incluyen además algunos antecedentes sobre el surgimiento de los consorcios de exportación a nivel mundial, así como el análisis de un prototipo real de consorcio de exportación en España y, finalmente, se presenta un modelo adaptable a cualquier contexto latinoamericano, a través del cual se ilustran los factores relevantes que las Pymes deberán tener presentes cuando decidan internacionalizarse por esta vía.
