The purpose of this paper is to analyze the economic-financial performance of public enterprises under the Sindicatura General de Empresas Públicas (SIGEP), during the Argentine democratic transition (1983-1989). For this purpose, the performance often state-owned firms is examined in four indicators: sales revenues, prices and tariffs, real fixed investment, and level of internal and external indebtedness. The statistical analysis was carried out with secondary sources, based on the balance sheets and publications of the syndicate. In conclusion, two decouplings are observed in the indicators examined, which significantly eroded the financial capacities of the companies, continuing with the dynamics installed during the last civil-military dictatorship.

Maintenance, that by definition, it is directed to "the realization of a group of operations and technical activities that assure the conservation, preservation and correction of AFT during a period of certain time against the deterioration that can cause the use and continuous exploitation as well as the noxious effects of the environment, and taken it to end at a reasonable cost and with the necessary security for people" With this article it is sought to base this unquestionable necessity and the importance of learning on the adequate use of this science; and the paper that the "Maintenance" and its impact have in the economic results of industrial enterprises. Maintenance, also gives answer to establishments of our days, such as the increment of the energy efficiency, the reduction of import of spare parts and the profitability of the companies, all of great importance for Cuban economy. Will be analyzed the insufficient use that industrial enterprises do of all the learning capacity that high education has. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses the communication carried out by IBEX35 companies in crisis situations in order to determine the mechanisms that try to favour dialogue between organisations and their stakeholders. The sample is made up of the tweets that include the word covid and that have been issued by the 27 IBEX 35 companies that had verified corporate profiles on the Twitter social platform during the first 6 months of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain. Taking into consideration the dialogic principles established by Kent and Taylor (1998), which were adapted by Rybalko and Seltzer (2010) for Twitter, an adaptation was made to establish indicators to apply to the conversation established on the platform. To analyse the differences in interaction, the t-test for independent samples and the one-factor ANOVA were used. The results show that companies maintain an interest in engaging with their audiences but continue to deal with topics that are not of interest to users, which makes it difficult for a dialogue or conversation to take place between companies and stakeholders. The article shows that the resources most used by companies in crisis situations are the call to action and dialogue, either by asking their users questions or suggesting the desired interaction. While directly asking users for their opinions does not generate more dialogue, the results show that soliciting attitudes, such as commenting, sharing an image or liking an image, does increase interaction. This implies that there is low interest on the part of audiences to join a real conversation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the profile required by a chief risk officer (CRO) in large companies in Colombia, based on knowledge of the traits, skills, aptitudes and knowledge that are necessary to achieve adequate performance, so that it contributes the achievement of objectives. The study is carried out under a qualitative methodology of descriptive scope. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with risk managers of large Colombian companies in different sectors, and experts. In the results found it can be evidenced the importance to the chief risk officer and as well as to develop their profile both in technical aspects and in the soft skills they require. This is due to the fact that from their performance they add value to the company with their expertise and provide a prospective vision on the risk situations to which they may be exposed. This paper contributes to the knowledge about CRO that requires further academic research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A suitable design of manufacturing facilities can increase the efficiency of a company's internal operations by optimizing material handling and flow costs. This paper addresses the facility layout planning problem (FLP), modeled as a quadratic allocation problem (QAP), applied to a company dedicated to the production of liquors. The problem was solved using the Computerized Relative Allocation of Facilities Technique that belongs to the heuristic algorithms, which allowed us to determine the best allocation of the departments, considering the distances traveled and the material flow costs. Subsequently, a simulation was carried out to evaluate the new distribution given the company's daily activities, considering the variability of loading and unloading times. The simulation results suggest that, if the new layout is implemented, material flow costs and times would be reduced by 13.22 % and 4.28 %, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Currently, companies handle a lot of sensitive information daily, which may be desired by unscrupulous people in order to obtain their own benefit, harming companies and customers. The paper focuses on the development of a login solution with double authentication, making use of user credentials and reading a QR code, through complementary mobile software installed on a verified device. The work provides the reader with an overview of information security, where the use of encrypted QR codes stands out, which, unlike fingerprint reading or facial detection, is extremely accessible on most mobile devices with cameras. and on different operating systems. You can also highlight the use of REST APIs to communicate the web application with the mobile application. The app proves to be a simple and effective way to improve login security for any business.

Information systems should contribute to enterprise effectiveness, and usually do so during the operational phase of their lifecycle. From the experience of practitioners, the duration of this lifecycle is often not predetermined, therefore resulting in information systems with a relatively long lifespan and information systems with a relatively short lifespan. An important aspect of application management, is managing the application lifecycle. In the experience of practitioners, deciding the moment to end the lifecycle, refactor it, or leave it be are often not thoroughly researched. The decision to move on to a newer information system is therefore not always sufficiently justified and relies more on a gut feeling. What if the older information system is still able to perform and comply with the changes the enterprise desires? Prolonging the length of an application lifecycle could result in cost reduction in an application portfolio. In this paper, we aim to create a method of assessment of the ability to change of a legacy information system and identifying potential areas in which a legacy information system would need improvement in order to increase this ability to change.

This paper identifies and characterizes a corporate network based on Argentinian-Spanish business (Catalan mainly) that was built around a dozen companies all located in Buenos Aires, in the first half of 20th century. Studying the board of directors of the company Providencia Compañía Argentina de Seguros, it finds meeting points in which different groups are involved and it analyzes what corporate strategies they applied. It also determines whether any political compromise was acquired by the members of the network, both in Spain and Argentina. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Lean construction philosophy has been welcomed by numerous companies in Colombia for a little more than a decade. The Last Planner System (LPS) is among the implemented tools found, a planning and control system that seeks to accomplish a continuous workflow. The system implementation results vary from one company to another, and there is no investigation to date that shows the diagnosis of the adoption of this tool in the country. This paper aims to illustrate the degree of implementation and functioning of the LPS from different perspectives found in sixteen Colombian construction companies. Data collection was carried out through non-participant observation during the weekly planning meetings, surveys conducted to construction professionals, supervisors, subcontractors and labor, and a semi-structured direct interview with the managers of the Lean area in the companies. Analysis of compiled information shows multiple ways of applying this tool, conceptual and practical failures, and a lack of training and permanent feedback that does not allow to be a part of the corporate culture were all identified.

Budget transfers to the Cuban business sector increased significantly in the last 15 years, reaching 25% of GDP in 2018. This increase was fundamentally a consequence of a strategy oriented to mitigate the effects of the overvaluation of the official exchange rate on the business sector, particularly on exportable products and import substitutes. The objective of this research is to characterize this subsidy scheme. The results suggest that the transfers allowed firms to cover at least part of their productive inefficiency, in part because of the design of the scheme was based on accounting criteria that limited incentives towards cost minimization. The main implication of the paper is that a relative price correction itself, such as, for example, that associated with "ordenamiento monetario", would not be sufficient to promote aggregate productivity gains; on the contrary, it would have to be complemented with institutional and structural policies.

A logical and historical analysis about the evolution of the accommodation industry and the interrelation between its forms of property and managementis carried out in this paper, based on the dialectical and materialistic approach and using as foundation a bibliographic research which identifies the modes of entrance of the international hotel industry, in its expansion as development strategic options for the hotel industry of the recipient countries. We got to the conclusion that the technology of the hotel chains in its international expansion through management modes remains protected, despite the barriers which slow down its spreading in the recipient countries. All this damages the development of the national hotel groups. Finally, some alternatives allowing to revert this situation in favor of endogenous development of the national hotel industries, are presented in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper starts from the premise that a business management from a gender perspective would contribute to a balanced relationship between men and women in all political, economic and social fields, from the empowerment and economic autonomy of women, the less favored group. In this paper we try to give a brief scene on the gender theme and its relation to business management, as well as to point out some elements about the opportunities and challenges of the Cuban business system for the inclusion of gender perspective into the enterprise.

This paper presents the review of three main existing agile approaches: Scrum, Lean Software Development and Kanban, which served as the basis for the development of a proposal for a new approach in Agile development. To achieve this, a description of each agile approach to software development and a comparison of their strengths and weaknesses are made. Then, the new proposal is established based on the integration of the three approaches, defining a set of metrics and developing a case study to evaluate the integration and obtain quantitative and qualitative data. The results obtained from the case study proved to be quite positive because it allowed us to comprehensively evaluate the new approach. These results represent a promising start to continue working in this line of research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Consumer law has been evolving at an accelerating pace, with a certain hermeneutic task, not entirely consistent, due to the need to comply with the basic principle of consumer protection. Although the consolidated legal solution leads us to declare the relative nullity of the multi-currency clauses, this research paper aims to reflect on whether the teleological and hermeneutic interpretation to reach the current solution is consistent with our legal order. Therefore, we will expose how the legal grounds of classic contractual law are being undermined, specifically: the doctrine of nullity and the principles of conservation of legal business and contractual integration.
