Aproximación de reclamos contingentes para la predicción de riesgos de crédito en sus medidas de determinación de la distancia de default y su probabilidad de quiebra para Colombia
(Universidad Icesi, 2011-04-12T21:59:50Z) Vargas Vives, Jaime; Cruz Merchán, Juan Sergio
Contingent claim approach to forecasting credit risk based don measurements of the distance-to-default and the probability of bankruptcy in Colombia The purpose of this article is to assess the extent of applicability of bankruptcy – Black and Scholes (1973) and Merton (1974) – to the securities market in Colombia using the contingent claim approach in the context of the new current economic cycle in Latin America. It particularly examines the ability of the contingent claim approach, from the perspective of Moody’s KMV, to estimate the two following credit risk indicators: distance to bankruptcy and probability of default. It then provides a comparison of these measurements versus those generated by the market. The findings suggest that there is a possibility of using this model in Colombia, especially with non-listed companies
Relación en las percepciones del estilo de liderazgo del jefe inmediato con el desempeño laboral de los estudiantes en práctica de la Universidad Icesi
(Universidad Icesi, 2011-04-12T22:03:39Z) Willman Carvajal, Sandra; Velasco Arango de Lloreda, María Isabel
Based on the experience with internship students, the CEDEP (Center for Professional Development at Icesi University in Cali, Colombia) it has been found that the leadership style of immediate managers is one of the aspects involved in the performance during the first work experience. This exploratory research shows which management leadership styles (based on information gathered in questionnaires regarding two perceptions: the boss’s perception and the intern’s perception of his/her boss) are most closely related to the performance of internship students. One of the conclusions is that the more the students perceive that their bosses have leadership styles with multiple qualities (such as, e.g. guiding, participative, goal-oriented, and thoughtful) the better their performance during the internship will be.

Valor razonable: un modelo de valoración incorporado en las normas internacionales de información financiera
(Universidad Icesi, 2011-04-12T22:09:46Z) Silva Palavecinos, Berta
The concept of fair value, which has appeared for decades in Anglo-Saxon accounting literature, gained great significance when it was incorporated by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as a pricing model in International Financial Reporting Standards. Nevertheless, its meaning, when it is used, how it is determined, its impact on the equity of a company, and other aspects of meaning are scattered throughout various standards. Decision makers need to have a clear idea of the subject. This article presents a compilation and reflections on the issues without attempting to be exhaustive
Perspectivas teóricas usadas para el estudio de la responsabilidad social empresarial: una clasificación con base en su racionalidad
(Universidad Icesi, 2011-04-12T22:13:22Z) Alvarado Herrera, Alejandro; Bigné Alcañiz, Enrique; Currás Pérez, Rafael
Based on an in-depth review of relevant literature published in the last 38 years, this work has two main objectives. First of all, it is aimed at identifying, reviewing, and synthe-sizing theories used in the literature for studying Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It discusses both the fundamental premises and the main criticism to which it has been subject. Secondly, it is geared toward classifying these theories by means of the application of the two following criteria: (i) the underlying primary rationality of each theory, and (ii) the conception of the role of business institutions in the society for which they advocate. This classification is a useful tool for properly combining theoretical perspectives and various rationalities, thus enriching the work of those who are concerned with the study of CSR.

(Universidad Icesi, 2011-04-12T22:23:12Z) Garay Quintero, Leonardo; Gómez Cardona, Jorge Hernán; Grueso Hinestroza, Merlin Patricia
A Method of encouraging business innovation is participation in associative processes, such as enterprise networks. The aim of this study was to identify actions favoring innovation in a group of companies that established a business network in the cosmetic industry in Bogotá, Colombia. We used a questionnaire base on the concept of innovation described in the Oslo Handbook (OECD, 2005), and analyzed data using graph theory. The results indicate that companies innovate, but they make few investments in acquiring knowledge. We also found that companies develop actions for internal improvement more frequently than they generate improvements in relationships with other actors in the network.

(Universidad Icesi, 2011-04-12T22:26:42Z) Bersh Arias, Andrea; Concha Velásquez, José Roberto; García Tamayo, Diana Marcela
This case is the practical application of the Elcano index, which was developed by the Elcano Royal Institute of International and Strategic Studies in Spain. The index measures the degree of interdependence of the economy of a specific country with other countries. The objective of this work is its practical application to the Colombian case using a set of variables that are consistent with the macroeconomic reality of Colombia. A comparison was made against the following countries: Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Ecuador, USA, Spain, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela. These are the countries with which Colombia has the strongest commercial and economic relations. The results show that its application to the Colombian scenario is valid and that it allows developing major strategies in international trade relations.
