The objective of this paper was to identify the impact, as well as the positive or negative mathematical relationship, exerted on growth (sales) and financial performance (operating profit). We looked at strategies of investment in tangible and intangible resources destined for the operation (current assets) and the installed capacity (Fixed Assets) of companies in the service sector in Mexico. In the analysis, financial information published in the Mexican Stock Exchange financial yearbook, from 2000-2012, was used. The positive or negative mathematical relationship exerted by independent factors on dependent factors was determined applying the technique known as Panel Data. The variables considered in the construct of this study were identified and chosen when analyzing the theory of resources and capacities, as well as empirical studies from previous investigations. The main findings concerning companies in the service sector show that current assets have a positive correlation with financial performance. On the other hand, fixed assets are shown not to have any significant mathematical correlation with financial performance. Keywords: Financial performance, Operating and investment resources, Services sector, INTRODUCTION Determining and analyzing the financial performance of organizations requires focusing on inputs (input) and outputs (output), in order to guide efforts towards improving investments and operational activities to achieve [...]

This investigation article describes the level and trend of competitiveness of honey from Mexico in comparison with the main trading countries, 2005- 2020. The objective set out in this study is to demonstrate the level of participation in the honey export market, the capacity to generate excess supply, the degree of international specialization and the way in which this product is inserted into the market. The methodology is developed by applying four of the most used indicators in research on competitiveness in agro-chains, using data on export, import and production volumes, for 21 countries. Among the main conclusions, Mexico stands out as a net exporter, with an excess supply and a high level of specialization, but in terms of positioning and efficiency, which measures market insertion, qualifies it as lost opportunities. As a final product, a ranking was generated that includes all the indices and countries studied, positioning it in the second position worldwide, which qualifies it as one of the most competitive countries in this product.

The purpose of this study was to identify key institutional factors in the country and in a company, and its mathematical relationship by incorporating debt, by forming the capital structure of the electronics industry in Jalisco and its discrepancies with the service sector, trade, processing, extractives, construction, and telecommunications throughout the period 2000-2007. The financial data which have been sorted, graphed, and analyzed were used to power the E-Views version 4.1. The long-term debt was the dependent variable. The independent variables conformed by the main factors of the country and company. After being identified, we calculated the positive or negative mathematical relationship, using the statistical technique known as panel data. Finally, discrepancies were shown in the factors and their mathematical relationship to the electronics industry. Keywords: Capital structure, Institutional factors of the company, Country's institutional factors, Electronics sector, Sectorial differences., INTRODUCTION Theoretical models in the last half of the century have sought to validate and generalize the Modigliani and Miler (1963) theory of empirical irrelevance of empirical evidence whereby the [...]

The objective of this research is to determine the main factors that influence strategic planning and its socioeconomic development in the metropolitan area of Moroleón and Uriangato, Guanajuato, Mexico. To this end, the corresponding literature was investigated, in relation to Regional Development (DR) and other related issues, and variables were obtained that were the ones that marked the route to be followed; It is observed that the territorial strategic planning begins to operate in the area and that the municipal authorities still have to work a lot on this subject, which is fundamental in these times. Subsequently, with the Method for Employing Sampling Thecniques, the study area was delimited, in which it was applied in all sectors of the population, the results were analyzed with the statistical program Statitistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), to apply Statistical tools that led the investigation to obtain results. It is concluded that public policies (PP) is the independent variable that most influences the dependent variable, so the recommendation is to improve this governmental aspect of the municipality and implement territorial strategic plans that improve the urban development of both municipalities.

This article aims to determine the level of competitiveness of the agribusiness sector in Michoacan using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The benchmarking framework of the different agroindustrial products that are exported is obtained. It starts by identifying the variables affecting competitiveness, which are price, quality, environmental management, technological innovation, market and public agro-industrial policy. The model helps to identify the performance of competitiveness of each of the branches of the agro-industry that are currently exported. The outcome of the indices will serve to detect points of greater strength to continue with the same strategies and identify weaknesses to evaluate the importance of each variable in order to provide the basis for the structuring of public policies.

The objective of this article is to describe which are the variables that drive the increase in export competitiveness. The research was conducted in the Valley of Apatzingan, integrated with ten municipalities that concentrate most of the lemon production of Michoacan. The objects of the study were 4200 producers, 50 packers, 10 industries, 13 suppliers and 15 nurseries. This region is at the top in agricultural production in Michoacan and the problems the lemon production has faced, despite its benefits, haven't been adequately addressed in international marketing; thereby, preventing further integration of innovation networks. For the design of methodology, we propose an the following hypothesis: "There is a positive relationship between innovation network and the actors who compose, reflecting in the export competitiveness of Lemon-System-Product's in Michoacan's state." This methodology puts in evidence the dynamics of technological innovation and analyzing innovation networks and exchanging information between both approaches to enrich the analysis.

The objective of study in this paper was to identify the impact as well as the positive or negative mathematical relationship that is exerted on growth (sales) and financial performance (operating profit) and the investment of tangible and intangible resources destined to the operation (Current Assets) and to the installed capacity (Fixed Assets) of the companies of the communications sector and the service sector in Mexico. In the analysis, the financial information published in the financial yearbook of the Mexican Stock Exchange was used from 2000-2012. The positive or negative mathematical relationship exerted by the independent factors on the dependent factors was determined applying the technique known as Panel Data. The variables considered in the construct of this study were identified and chosen when analyzing the theory of resources and capacities, as well as the empirical studies of previous investigations that were analyzed and commented on in the theoretical framework. The main findings in the communications sector show that current assets and fixed assets have a positive correlation with financial performance. In the companies of the service sector, the result that was obtained shows that the current asset has a positive correlation with the financial performance. On the other hand, the result showed that fixed assets do not have any significant mathematical correlation with financial performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this article is to determine the relation of the variables Quality standards, Quality control systems, and Quality Inspection Systems with the variable Quality by identifying the variance using the technique Partial Least Squares (PLS). In addition, we measure the impact of quality on twenty five exporting companies with the availability and ability to efficiently export to theUSA. PLS is an efficient statistical technique that is highly suited for information systems research. In this paper, we (a) provide an analysis of the development and features of PLS, and (b) discuss the analysis of quality construct. Finally, we present guidelines for applying PLS, as well as give an explanation of the different steps implied for the assessment of the measurement model and the quality structural model.

The purpose of this research was to determine the convergence and divergence of the mathematical relationship between the financial country factors and the company factors involved in incorporating long-term debt into the structure capital used by the extraction, construction and transformation sectors that were listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange from 2000 to 2012. The long-term debt was the dependent variable, and the panel data technique was applied with the E-Views program in order to determine its mathematical relationship to independent factors. The mathematical model and factors used for this empirical study were identified in the theoretical framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article we review the most important variables for understanding competitiveness and extracted the theoretical framework factors that determine it for the exporting companies as well as the indexes that measure it. Using a set of variables (quality, price, training, technology and distribution channels) it was developed a structured classification of these factors and indices, and a survey was applied to the directors of twenty exporting companies of the State of Michoacán. From relevant factors and indices found, we developed a model that describes how these variables are interrelated, on the basis of Technical Statistical Modeling Partial Least Squares (PLS). The final results showed that technology variable has the greatest impact on competitiveness indices, which implies that exporting companies should pay special attention to this variable.
