Book excerpt: La obra destaca lo último en conocimiento e investigación sobre el sector de la economía latinoamericana que más genera empleo, impulsa la movilidad social y actúa como incubadora de innovación, pero permanece menospreciado y poco estudiado. Aporta una valiosa actualización de nuevas tendencias en el desarrollo del sector, el papel que desempeña en nuestra cada vez más global economía y lo que recién hemos aprendido de las políticas ideadas para apoyarlo. Una muy bienvenida, oportuna y entusiasta contribución a las pymes. Allen Blackman Centro de investigación Resources for the Future Washington, D. C. Este es un libro fundamental para comprender que las pymes son un actor clave en la transformación productiva de América Latina y que la región puede y debe incentivar el acceso al financiamiento, el emprendimiento, la innovación y la inserción en cadenas de suministro globales para lograr un crecimiento más alto e inclusivo. Enrique García Presidente ejecutivo CAF - Banco de Desarrollo de América Latina. Las pymes, pequeñas y medianas empresas, son la fuente de empleo y de movilidad social más importante de América Latina. Fortalecerlas, mejorarlas y facilitar su crecimiento y sostenibilidad son prioridades en torno de las cuales políticos y analistas están de acuerdo. Sin embargo, hay poco acuerdo en la manera en que estos objetivos pueden convertirse en realidades. Son muchos y variados los esfuerzos que en toda América Latina se han hecho para potenciar la pequeña y mediana industria. Con frecuencia estos esfuerzos han dado pocos resultados. Henry Gómez y Bart van Hoof convocan en estas páginas a un lúcido grupo de analistas y académicos que nos ofrecen una interesante visión panorámica de las realidades, dificultades y posibilidades de las pymes en América Latina. Este texto será referencia obligatoria para cualquier análisis o propuesta que en el futuro se hagan sobre este sector tan importante para la economía y la sociedad de nuestra región.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la actualidad ha llegado a las empresas el termino de la globalización y esto a sido debido a que se tienen cambios constantes de las necesidades de cada organización, por lo que la competencia no es solo con las empresas que se encuentran en la región, sino con las que se encuentran en otros países. "Todo esto esta orillando a que las compañías comiencen a modificar sus operaciones para poder tener un nivel competitivo que las ayude a continuar en el mercado, evitando así ser derrotados en la lucha por la supervivencia. El entorno competitivo ha cambiado de tal manera que las amenazas y oportunidades empresariales pueden provenir de cualquier parte del mundo, creándose una economía de ámbito internacional e incluso se podría decir que mundial" (García et Casanova, 2000). De acuerdo a las estadísticas al Sistema de Información Empresarial Mexicano (SIEM) se comenta que cerca del 90% de las empresas son catalogadas como PYME, por lo que se han convertido en la actividad económica más grande. Por consecuencia las PYME se enfrentan a los nuevos retos que se les presentan en la actualidad con la creación de la gran competencia con la que se enfrentan día a día en la supervivencia dentro de la competencia globalizada. Para lograr la supervivencia las empresas están cambiando sus filosofías, métodos y formas de hacer las cosas, buscando nuevas estrategias con el fin de ser más competitivas y rentables. Para alcanzar la competitividad en el mercado se han adoptado técnicas y herramientas, como lo son el Just !n Time, Takt Time, QFD, 5'S, Control Visual, Poka Yoke, Mapeo de la Cadena de Suministro, Celdas de Manufactura, entre otras.

Download or read book Firms of Endearment written by Rajendra Sisodia and published by Pearson Prentice Hall. This book was released on 2003-01-30 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s best companies get it. From Costco® to Commerce Bank, Wegmans to Whole Foods®: they’re becoming the ultimate value creators. They’re generating every form of value that matters: emotional, experiential, social, and financial. And they’re doing it for all their stakeholders. Not because it’s “politically correct”: because it’s the only path to long-term competitive advantage. These are the Firms of Endearment. Companies people love doing business with. Love partnering with. Love working for. Love investing in. Companies for whom “loyalty” isn’t just real: it’s palpable, and driving unbeatable advantages in everything from marketing to recruitment. You need to become one of those companies. This book will show you how. You’ll find specific, practical guidance on transforming every relationship you have: with customers, associates, partners, investors, and society. If you want to be great—truly great—this is your blueprint. We’re entering an Age of Transcendence, as people increasingly search for higher meaning in their lives, not just more possessions. This is transforming the marketplace, the workplace, the very soul of capitalism. Increasingly, today’s most successful companies are bringing love, joy, authenticity, empathy, and soulfulness into their businesses: they are delivering emotional, experiential, and social value–not just profits. Firms of Endearment illuminates this, the most fundamental transformation in capitalism since Adam Smith. It’s not about “corporate social responsibility”: it’s about building companies that can sustain success in a radically new era. It’s about great companies like IDEO and IKEA®, Commerce Bank and Costco®, Wegmans and Whole Foods®: how they earn the powerful loyalty and affection that enables truly breathtaking performance. This book is about gaining “share of heart,” not just share of wallet. It’s about aligning stakeholders’ interests, not just juggling them. It’s about building companies that leave the world a better place. Most of all, it’s about why you must do all this, or risk being left in the dust... and how to get there from wherever you are now.

Download or read book The Circular Economy and the Global South written by Patrick Schröder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The circular economy is a policy approach and business strategy that aims to improve resource productivity, promote sustainable consumption and production and reduce environmental impacts. This book examines the relevance of the circular economy in the context of developing countries, something which to date is little understood. This volume highlights examples of circular economy practices in developing country contexts in relation to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), informal sector recycling and national policy approaches. It examines a broad range of case studies, including Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, South Africa, and Thailand, and illustrates how the circular economy can be used as a new lens and possible solution to cross-cutting development issues of pollution and waste, employment, health, urbanisation and green industrialisation. In addition to more technical and policy oriented contributions, the book also critically discusses existing narratives and pathways of the circular economy in the global North and South, and how these differ or possibly even conflict with each other. Finally, the book critically examines under what conditions the circular economy will be able to reduce global inequalities and promote human development in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. Presenting a unique social sciences perspective on the circular economy discourse, this book is relevant to students and scholars studying sustainability in economics, business studies, environmental politics and development studies.

Download or read book Trade and Employment written by Marion Jansen and published by International Labor Office. This book was released on 2011 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An International Labor Office and European Commission publication Although the effect of trade on employment is a popular point of economic debate, there are very few factual assessments available. This book examines the most recent evidence and provides guidance for the design of tools to assess more accurately the employment impacts of trade. Trade and Employment argues for strengthening the micro-foundations of models used to evaluate the employment effects of trade and for including the informal economy and adjustment processes in modeling efforts. It emphasizes the role of governments in helping firms survive or grow, in providing social protection to protect against external shocks, in addressing gender equity, and in building physical infrastructure and human skills bases that facilitate export diversification. It is a valuable resource for all those interested in the debate on the employment effects of trade: workers and employers, academics and policymakers, and trade and labor specialists.

Download or read book The Digital Transformation Playbook written by David L. Rogers and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethink your business for the digital age. Every business begun before the Internet now faces the same challenge: How to transform to compete in a digital economy? Globally recognized digital expert David L. Rogers argues that digital transformation is not about updating your technology but about upgrading your strategic thinking. Based on Rogers's decade of research and teaching at Columbia Business School, and his consulting for businesses around the world, The Digital Transformation Playbook shows how pre-digital-era companies can reinvigorate their game plans and capture the new opportunities of the digital world. Rogers shows why traditional businesses need to rethink their underlying assumptions in five domains of strategy—customers, competition, data, innovation, and value. He reveals how to harness customer networks, platforms, big data, rapid experimentation, and disruptive business models—and how to integrate these into your existing business and organization. Rogers illustrates every strategy in this playbook with real-world case studies, from Google to GE, from Airbnb to the New York Times. With practical frameworks and nine step-by-step planning tools, he distills the lessons of today's greatest digital innovators and makes them usable for businesses at any stage. Many books offer advice for digital start-ups, but The Digital Transformation Playbook is the first complete treatment of how legacy businesses can transform to thrive in the digital age. It is an indispensable guide for executives looking to take their firms to the next stage of profitable growth.

Download or read book Construction Digitalisation written by Douglas Aghimien and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-25 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores construction digitalisation, particularly in developing countries. The book conceptualises a digitalisation capability maturity model that will enable construction organisations to self-assess and benchmark their digital capabilities in their quest for digital transformation. Digitalisation offers a significant solution to the age-long problems of the construction industry. Research shows that when construction organisations transform from a traditional service delivery approach to a more digitalised approach, significant improvement in project delivery and better competitive advantage for these organisations will be attained. The attainment of these benefits is evident in developed countries where the digitalisation of construction activities continues apace. Unfortunately, the story is not the same for construction organisations in developing economies. While some organisations might be willing to be digitally transformed, most have no clue how to go about it. To this end, this book provides guidelines for construction organisations seeking to transform their entities digitally. Its content is a valuable read for construction company owners as it provides a model which they can use in the digitalisation of their activities. Also, regulatory bodies in the construction industry can adopt the capabilities identified in the book as essential prerequisites for their members. Furthermore, the book serves as excellent theoretical background reading for management researchers seeking to expand their knowledge on the digitalisation of the construction industry and other associated industries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grossman and Helpman develop a unique approach in which innovation is viewed as a deliberate outgrowth of investments in industrial research by forward-looking, profit-seeking agents. Traditional growth theory emphasizes the incentives for capital accumulation rather than technological progress. Innovation is treated as an exogenous process or a by-product of investment in machinery and equipment. Grossman and Helpman develop a unique approach in which innovation is viewed as a deliberate outgrowth of investments in industrial research by forward-looking, profit-seeking agents.
