Competitiveness and technological innovation, fundamental theoretical elements for the internationalization of the Mexican Wine Industry

The objective of this research is to examine some of the theories of competitiveness and technological innovation that allow wine companies to develop internationalization strategies in the current framework of economic globalization. The implementation of these strategic decisions not only requires research efforts, but it also requires the participation of the collaborative network of the segments related to productive infrastructures. In Mexico, the wine sector presents a growth perspective due in part to the differentiation and expansion of the markets, but it also presents challenges of product offer, financing for the growth of the company and government policies such as the reduction of taxes that would allow the sector increase competitiveness. The methodology of this study is of an exploratory descriptive nature, since it aims to serve as theoretical support so that companies have the information that allows them to design the necessary internationalization strategies to have a dominant market share presence at the national and international level. The contribution of the qualitative analysis of this work lies in the dissemination of information on the subject, the debate of the concepts and the development of these competences; both at the business and academic level.

Internal control: strengthening policy enging in non-profit organizations

The purpose of this research is to determine the strengthening that non-profit organizations obtain through the application of internal control policies, that is to say the internal control of the institutions will be analyzed, because it is an indispensable tool for the development of administrative management, financial and accounting, allowing reasonable security for the fulfillment of institutional goals. A research study was carried out using the descriptive methodology, so the reading of scientific articles and the bibliographic review was carried out, obtaining information on the strengthening and importance of internal control policies in non-profit organizations. On the basis of the research carried out, it was found that many of the organizations do not have a specific control policy, and this would result in inefficiency and inefficiency in the operations they carry out causing them weaknesses. With a good internal control system, it helps them to develop guidelines and compliance standards so that procedures and activities are carried out efficiently and effectively, allowing no errors and fraud to be reported.

Optimization of the supply chain through decision models in aggregate planning

The study consists of the design of a decision analysis model for the supply chain, based on the Aggregate Planning strategies; the present investigation is of a transversal exploratory type. This arises from the need for Pymes and MiPymes to carry out a correct scheduling of purchases for the supply of products in its three basic levels from the supplier to the end customer. The objective of this project is to present a model that allows reducing the level of risk in supply chains using aggregate planning tools and decision analysis. The decision analysis model designed based on uncertainty will serve as a general plan for operations and will establish the parameters within which it would facilitate the performance of the supply chains of Pymes, allowing to improve capacity distributions. Therefore, it is important to execute the aggregate plans in a very broad scope of the chain, as proposed in the model proposed and applied in a Pyme company, with adequate and promising results.

Cultural learning that empowers the role of women

It is intended to find learned cultural characteristics, related to genders, susceptible to transform learning for labor equity. By promoting equitable conditions at work, equitable gender participation is promoted in the automotive production sector, a job niche occupied by men. A verification instrument is applied for a descriptive qualitative research with the non-experimental method of interviews with five experts from the productive sector, to investigate on active workers in companies in the automotive sector. The results show different topics of gender learning such as: the behavior of women in jobs that were exclusive to men, investigating the relationships between power and authority regarding gender roles, skills and behavior patterns; mixed work teams; gender role learning: practical advice to be competitive; empower in informal education; strategies for the change of paradigms to obtain labor and political power; attributes of learned roles; differences between power and authority and leadership attributes to empower women, in equality with men. The verification instrument includes types of power, to identify informal keys to empowering women in the labor market and thus access decision-making positions.

Poverty and marginalization in Nayarit, México: four communities of the Aguamilpa hydroelectric dam

The research work that is presented, aims to carry out an analysis of the living conditions that prevail in the population, of four marginalized rural communities located in the banks of the Rio Grande de Santiago, in the State of Nayarit. In addition to analyzing the implications of social policy to reduce poverty and marginalization, phenomena closely related to social deprivation. Each approach and methodology used for its analysis, have shed light on the different studies on social deprivation that lead individuals or groups to suffer this situation. In the study that is presented, it is observed, that the construction of the PHA and the social programs implemented by the government at its different levels, have not been sufficient to solve the problems of extreme poverty in which the population of marginalized rural localities is found. In the same way, it is concluded that it is necessary to advance towards the articulation of concepts and ways of measuring poverty and marginalization, as well as, on the ways of evaluating, social policies, with the understanding that the interventions of the three orders of government, will be more effective as long as they achieve a multidimensional approach that prioritizes the human being.

Economic externalities and urban solid waste in Mexico

In the last century, garbage has been considered as an energy resource, on one hand, because when it is deposited in landfills or dumbs it produces biogas with a major component of methane (more than 50%), methane is considered as a greenhouse gas that has negative impacts on the environment. On the other hand, garbage could be treated in thermochemical processes of incineration or gasification, resulting in energy generation that could be by vapor generation in the case of incineration, or a mixture of gases mainly composed by CO2, H2, and CH4 by the gasification process; The last two gases could be used to generate vapor as well or used as fuel in internal combustion engines or fuel cells in a near future. The information obtained from the urban solid waste in Mexico is limited concerning to the inventories of generation, on the volume estimation of handling and disposal, according the National Institute of Geography and Statistics (INEGI by the initials in Spanish), from the Municipals Governments National Census until July 2016, Mexico City occupies the first place in recollection of urban solid wastes generating 16 tons daily, the second one is Mexico State with 13 tons, Jalisco with 6.9 tons and Veracruz with 6 tons, on average Mexico generate 42 millions of tons of urban solid waste per year, and only 38% are organic waste. As a result of the complexity of handling urban solid waste, this paper presents a study in situ of the exploitation of biomass within an organic fraction of urban solid wastes, by means of biogas estimation in a landfill with potential to be exploit in clean energy generation, transforming the negatives externalities because of the disposal of urban solid wastes into positive externalities due to the utilization of the calorific potential from the biomass.

An approach to the distribution of creative activities in Jalisco and Guadalajara

Creative activities have positioned themselves as an ally to regional and local development, considering that it can contribute to other activities that are in a territory. These activities have been differentiated from cultural activities, because they are developed due to market demand and competition from economic sectors. This is how it is affirmed that cultural activities play a fundamental role for the development of creativity, but creative activities help the development of other activities, being a support such as productive or advanced services. The grouping of these activities in the country and specifically in Jalisco, it is observed that only in some states there is a relative concentration. In the case of Jalisco, the agglomeration is manifested in the metropolitan municipalities, in addition to Puerto Vallarta, where the latter has the effect of the appearance of these activities due to tourism development.
