Ítem Planeación por escenarios: un caso de estudio en una empresa de consultoría logística en Colombia(Universidad Icesi, 2016-01-01) Mejía Argueta, Christopher; Agudelo, Isabel; Soto Cardona, Osman CamiloUncertainty about market trends and the business environment in which companies operate is one of the main challenges managers currently face. A company that analyzes its environment and tries to predict possible future scenarios will not be surprised by changes thereof and can establish action plans in advance to ensure it will be effective regardless of which scenario ultimately prevails. This article is a case study about scenario planning in a company that offers logistics consulting services in Colombia. The scenario planning process led to the identification of key challenges, trends and market opportunities for the company in question.Ítem Emprendimiento: visión actual como disciplina de investigación. Un análisis de los números especiales publicados durante 2011-2013(Universidad Icesi, 2016-01-01) Ruiz, Manuel; López Fernández, Maria Concepción; Pérez Pérez, Marta; errano Bedia, Ana MariaThis article presents an exposition of the literature contained in special issues published in journals included in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) between 2011-2013, in order to provide a current view of the literature on entrepreneurship through a systematic review that includes 3 parts: Data collection, analysis, and synthesis of data. Specifically, the sample analyzed consists of 387 articles from 49 special issues in 23 journals. The characteristics of the journals and the diverse topics currently addressed in entrepreneurship are presented. Also, 10 main lines of research are identified, indicating their type, methodologies and geographical considerations, along with an overview of their main themes. This allows the researcher to reflect on the current situation and the research opportunities for contributing to the development of this field.Ítem Decisiones de financiamiento en pymes: ¿existen diferencias en función del tamaño y la forma legal?(Universidad Icesi, 2016-01-01) Speroni, Carolina; Vigier, Hernán; Castillo, Natalia; Pesce, Gabriela; Briozo, AnahíWe examine whether there are distinctive features in small and medium enterprises according to their size and legal form. Financing decisions in particular are studied, using pecking order, trade-off and life cycle theories as our conceptual framework. Using a sample of companies from Bahía Blanca (Argentina), we analyze the variables through nonparametric tests and tests of independence. The results show that larger companies are more leveraged, while businesses that adopt limited liability legal forms differ in their greater use of loans with collateral. These results point to the need to design support policies specially targeted to the different business segments.Ítem Efectos del miedo en los trabajadores y la organización(Universidad Icesi, 2016-01-01) Bedoya Dorado, Cristian; García Solarte, MónicaDrawing on Deming’s proposals for eliminating fear from the workplace, several investigations have found this emotion to be negative for workers and organizations. This article aims to identify the negative effects that fear generates among workers and organizations. To do this, a literature review of studies of fear in organizations and its implications for work was carried out. The effects of fear were classified into worker and organization and their implications were discussed, from which it was found that identifying the effects of fear in the organization contributes to the understanding of the role that subjectivity plays in organizational behavior and operation.Ítem Análisis de los factores del comportamiento organizacional en jóvenes que están iniciando su carrera laboral(Universidad Icesi, 2016-01-01) Olivas Luján, Miguel R.; Madero Gómez, Sergio ManuelThis quantitative research explores organizational behavior issues for young adults who are starting their work careers. A 35-item survey was designed, and tested for validity and reliability. It was applied in a sample of 215 students in a private university in Northeastern Mexico. The variables in this project show a similar pattern among young adults in their first work experience as among those who had worked in the past. However, Intensity of exerted effort, Perceived organizational support, Intentions to quit and Monetary compensation showed statistically significant differences, when using other factors to compare its.Ítem Eficiencia bancaria en Argentina. Comportamiento de los bancos entre 2005 y 2013(Universidad Icesi, 2016-01-01) Maldonado Villamil, Daniel Alejandro; Seffino, MarioThe aim of this paper is to analyse the evolution of the efficiency of certain Argentine banks for the period between 2005 and 2013. In this regard, it will seek to distinguish the factors that help explain this performance combining the data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the Malmquist productivity index (MPI). This allows to measure variations in productivity over time and, simultaneously, finding out its causes. The results show an improvement in overall productivity and technical efficiency for a large group of institutions analysed.Ítem Selección multicriterio de aliado estratégico para la operación de carga terrestre(Universidad Icesi, 2016-01-01) Muñoz Marín, Luz Stella; Urbano Guerrero, Luz Carime; Osorio Gómez, Juan CarlosThe purpose of this work is to present a model for selecting a strategic partner in the operation of land transportation, to strengthen the integrated supply chain management. The selection process involves the use of tools that contribute to decision making in an agile, effective and efficient way. In this context, the proposed model combines the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and technique for order preference by similarity with ideal solution, including scientific and analytical elements that enable the inclusion of diverse criteria and leading actors. This model, which is applicable to different types of organization, was validated in a Colombian industrial company in order to identify the potential strategic partner with the best competitive advantages.Ítem Valuación de opciones simples y complejas contenidas en arrendamientos financieros(Universidad Icesi, 2016-01-01) Milanesi, Gastón SilverioThe value of leasing agreements is a function of the present value of the payments plus the operative real options. The equivalent loan method (ELM), widely applied in leasing valuation, fails because it does not incorporate the options embedded in the contract. The paper proposes a model of valuation that combines the ELM and the binomial approach for valuing real options. The mathematical approach and its application for simple (purchase, early cancellation; roll over) and compound options (venture leasing; percentage leasing; deferred payment; deferred payment and purchase); showing the model’s ability to calculate the current expanded value of the contract, such as the sum of the payment of the present value and operative options.Ítem Determinantes del acceso a los productos financieros en los hogares colombianos(Universidad Icesi, 2016-01-01) Rodríguez Raga, Santiago; Riaño Rodríguez, Felix FranciscoThere is evidence to establish a positive relation between access to financial products, wealth and quality of life of households, especially among low income households. The following paper seeks to understand what determines access to different financial products among Colombian households. The study uses an econometric model based on the information contained in the Colombian Longitudinal Survey (ELCA) of the Universidad de los Andes. As a conclusion, it finds that the main determinants of access to financial products among Colombian households are the level of income or wealth, education and stable employment.Ítem Gestión estratégica de tecnologías de información y comunicación y adopción del comercio electrónico en Mipymes de Córdoba, Argentina(Universidad Icesi, 2016-01-01) Jones, Carola; Motta, Jorge; Alderrete, María VerónicaThis paper analyzes the causal factors of the level of electronic commerce adoption (ECA) among Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Contingent Theory is used as the basis for building a structural equation model. The model assigns a mediating role to the ‘ICT strategy and management control’ variable. The study is based on a survey of 139 MSMEs from Córdoba, Argentina. Results show that the mediating variable positively affects ECA, and therefore, the organizational performance. Besides this, the e-readiness of a firm directly and indirectly influences ECA.
