In Mexico, the jewelry industry of Jalisco contributes with 70% of the national production. The purpose of this document is to analyze the strategic response regarding the key success factors of a SME jewelry factory of Guadalajara, to cope with the COVID-19 arrival, in order to maintain its competitive advantage. Due its nature, the sector is handled with discretion, which makes it difficult to study. For this reason, this investigation shares relevant information. A longitudinal study was carried out from 2019 to 2021 to a factory with 40 years in the sector. It has been found that the SME maintains its competitive advantage through six critical success factors of the industry, which in 2019, in order of importance were price, quality, innovation (technological processes), design (new products), customer service and reputation. It was found that, after coronavirus pandemic, the six factors remain the same, but in a different order. Design has taken the first position and the others are behind. It is concluded that these factors are a whole and all of them are necessary to maintain competitive advantage in the jewelry sector, but their relative importance changes after new market demands.

Knowledge of Critical Success Factors (CSF) plays a key role in fulfilling the mission and satisfaction of the needs of customers in an organisation. The present article proposes a procedure to determine and prioritize CSF in an organisation by constructing a criticality index (Ci), which is based on criticality indices to evaluate and prioritise risks, integrating the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and expert method. The procedure is applied for the prioritisation of the CSF to evaluate the ethical, socially responsible and sustainable behaviour, through the construction of a hierarchy that allows to classify the CSF in economic, social and environmental, in an organisation oriented to the provision of computers services.

The aim of this study is to determine a factorial structure of the antecedents of successful of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Data were collected from large Chilean companies. The results indicate that the antecedents of success can be reduced to three dimensions: organization, project, and people, all that accounts for 74.4% of the variance extracted and have high levels of reliability. Additionally, an analysis of mean difference indicates that there are statistically significant differences for the project dimension associated with the years of system operation. Moreover, most of the participants in the study indicate that all factors are important for the success of the ERP, highlighting those associated with the organization dimension. Among them are: having effective communication, training in the use of the system, staff participation, and that implementation is consistent with business strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the results of a study to identify the Critical Success Factors (CSF) related to the deployment of the Organizational Philosophy. Presents a review of the literature, as a reference frame for the construction of a questionnaire, explains its validation and application to investigate the variables influencing the deployment. Also presents the exploratory approach applied to develop a theoretical model. The construct validity was assessed through a confirmatory factor analysis. Moreover, the model's fit was tested applying a Structural Equations System. Results indicate there are five CSF related to the deployment of the philosophy. The CSF identified are a productivity oriented culture, empowerment, structural capital, information technologies and resources and capabilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Software Processes Improvement helps to raise the strategic maturity of organizations, however, studies show that there is a large number of failures by those who start improvement programs. Several research associatethis result to not take into consideration the overall status of organizations regarding their socio-cultural environment; therefore they define Critical Success Factors that affect the result of the improvement program and good practices that guide the behavior of these factors. There are still insufficiencies to guide the organizations efforts towards better results, due in part to the knowledge acquired about the behavior of the factors is not reused. In this way, the emission of more accurate success forecasts and the proposed scenarios reflecting an improvement over the organizations initial state to deal with improvement programs, is hindered. This research aims to develop a knowledge management strategy for recommending scenarios in Software Process Improvement, with reference to the critical success factors and good practices that organizations can apply. It is designed as technological support, a system which from knowledge reuse and based on artificial intelligence techniques, proposes improvement scenarios to achieve by the organizations and their success forecasts, before investment in Software Process Improvement to support decision making.

Numerous articles highlight the benefits of model "Competence Training", while a growing number of universities and companies worldwide seek to introduce this model in university education and business, respectively. It is striking, however, the absence of instrumental proposals aimed to contribute to the understanding, appropriate use and evaluation of the results of the model's application in these institutions. This paper attempts to open a space for discussion on the issue, proposing a method and a tool aimed at facilitating the implementation of the model and assessing its impact on productivity of universities and companies.
