Published in Revista EKOS Business – Ecuador – October 2009 Special Edition In response to the need to evaluate business organizations not only in terms of economic performance, but also in how these were achieved, the strategy comes in Bolivia known as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).Under this scenario, CSR is seen as a model of sustainable development consists of social progress, stable levels of economy, optimal working conditions, environmental protection and prudent use of natural resources, as reflected in the degree of commitment and responsibility which organizations operate at the impact that their activities have on society. Although worldwide the concept of CSR has evolved, it is often interpreted err nea.Con the purpose of promoting and distributing its true meaning and practice in Bolivian society is born, in late 2004, the “Corporate Social Responsibility Boliviana Business “(COBORSE) foundation conceived as a multi-institutional network, thanks to the commitment of local and multinational companies, private foundations and business organizations operating in the last country.Security management COBORSE published a study on the perception of Bolivian entrepreneurs on CSR and the level of implementation in their businesses.The study showed that companies are evaluated in the basic stage of this process. This stage is characterized by worry and need a paradigm shift in the way of doing business with actions that are limited to one department and are not yet conceived as an integral part of an organization that has not understand the difference between responsible actions filantrop a.Actualmente and progress can be seen in the corporate response, resulting in a vision and commitment of companies and organizations to articulate and align CSR programs according to the Global Compact‘s ten principles . A clear example is the Sociedad Boliviana de Cemento SA (SOBOCE) company that assumes, for several years, a variety of programs to promote education of children and youth, tourism and production capabilities, support for sustainable micro-enterprises and others.Also thanks to the compromise developed by the Bolivian Institute of Foreign Trade (IBCE) and the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Welfare, there is the voluntary certification initiative called “Triple Seal” made up of three standards based on the Global Compact and Human Rights “Forced labor free,” “child labor free” and “Free of Discrimination”. The purpose is to differentiate the triple seal Bolivian products in domestic and foreign markets, such as “socially responsible production.”Many companies, like these, they discover the importance of their work in the environment and the impact they have on their audiences of interest include the need to strengthen their commitment to action social.Si well in Bolivia there is an important business concern to develop activities in the framework of social responsibility is essential to raise awareness to this view the government, its institutions and organizations civiles.S lo when public and private strategies have the same horizon and the shared purpose of moving towards sustainable development, country will no longer be conceived as the least fair of the Americas in the distribution of wealth.
New Economy and
New Economy and economic laws until the crisis of the dot-com, there were two conflicting views about the relationship between the new economy and economic laws: On the one hand, some observers argued that the New Economy with conventional economic theory was something the past and this new way of doing business would revolutionize the traditional economic laws. The ideas held by Kevin Kelly, later embodied in his book “New Rules for the new economy,” encouraged a radical idea: conventional economic theory, economics, as it was known, was a thing of the past. This line of thought was dominant until 2000, and was the intellectual support of all the scene of the first stage of the new economy during its spectacular launch in 1995-2000.Furthermore, a second view argued that the economy with its basic concepts and tools remains as ever, but from the spread of new technologies, has created a new business model that gradually is increasing efficiency and offering the customer products and services ever closer to demand it. Thus, if we interpret the term new economy in the sense of economic principles governing the operation of business, any new development there, which has been generated, are new business models that can be profitable and / or have achieved greater efficiency in existing businesses. In the words of Shapiro and Varian “Technology changes, economic laws do not,” the foundations of industrial economics and the economics of information are the same.What changes is the relevance of certain economic ideas that can interpret its own conduct business where premium information management, which had limited application in industrial enterprises. It seems that after the crash of the stock exchanges that began in 2000 and is known as Burbuja.com, this second interpretation is the most accepted, however (Brian Arthur) believes that now coexist two different economic realities in the traditional economy applies the law of diminishing returns, while the Law of increasing returns is typical of knowledge-based areas, “The economy of today is divided into two interconnected worlds – are two different worlds with different economic logics “(…)” is a mistake to insist that what works in one, work on the other. “
Themes The
Themes The “Themes” (themes or templates) from WordPress templates design are used to set the appearance and structure of your blog. There is a great official community, both professional and amateur, engaged in the design of these templates that are listed on the site to WordPress once have been tested and officially approved-see list of external links. Although the philosophy of a strong commitment WordPress valid according to W3C guidelines, the possibilities of this system, both in terms of design, structure or management, and flexibility of the system Themes and Widgets in particular, are enormous and can be practically from a simple blog to a custom CMS.
Public relations is
Public relations is called public relations (PR) discipline responsible for managing communication between an organization and a map of key audiences to build, manage and maintain its positive image. It is a discipline that was deliberately planned and carried out strategically. It has the characteristic of being a form of bidirectional communication, as it not only addresses his audience (both internal and external) but also listen and respond to their needs, thus fostering mutual understanding, and allowing it to use as a powerful competitive advantage when positioning claim. This discipline uses advertising, promotion information and not paid to do this job. To speak of Public Relations is essential to say what we mean by “Public Relations (PR). PR: A set of disciplines and sciences through a process of strategic and planned communication create, modify, develop and / or maintain a corporate image or person.The actions of PR are aimed at internal and external audiences, aiming to obtain a lenient view of them. Current trends and studies of them say they are leaving aside the PR as just another tool for marketing and integrated communications. The basic idea of such a move is that whoever carried out this challenge is the Director of Communications and from there comes the organization, where the purpose of communication actions and policies are consistent with those of the institution is important to note that the current position of the communication and PR is on the agenda for the “public”, this means that as a company or institution is important to be “more than presentable” that is always prone to the audience.Today, new communication channels are the “cyberspace” as social networks, blogs, etc.. These communications give the opportunity to be always present, constantly renewed and be creative. Take this challenge as a PR advantage to using the new trends as a great tool to get a good picture.
Problems caused by
Problems caused by MSW The characteristics of municipal solid waste make these cause a series of problems that may be of varying severity depending on the situation, if not treated appropriately. Below are the most common effects that cause MSW: Air pollution: the air in the absence of fermentation of organic matter generates methane (a greenhouse gas twenty times more potent than carbon dioxide), where the gas which is half-gases produced in landfills and has primary responsibility for fires and explosions that occur in these places. Furthermore, when a fire in an enclosure designed to burn waste disposal and chlorinated compounds are emitted into the atmosphere highly polluting chemicals such as dioxins and hydrochloric acid.Other harmful gases from the atmosphere and urban waste are benzene, which is also potentially carcinogenic vinyl chloride or methyl chloride. soil contamination: the physical, chemical and biological soil are strongly altered when it is deposited on solid waste. attributed to a moderate soil contamination is the disappearance of flora and fauna of the affected region, disruption of biogeochemical cycles and the loss of essential nutrients for the existence of animal or plant life. When the municipal waste accumulate in an uncontrolled way, they run the risk of appearing a series of plagues, such as rodents. Pollution of surface water or groundwater: leachate, which are the liquid produced when water moves through a porous medium, haul toxic substances are generated in landfills.The most representative examples of these harmful products are vinyl chloride, methyl chloride, carbon tetrachloride and chlorobenzenes (because of its high toxicity stresses hexachlorobenzene), all of which are persistent and bioaccumulative substances in all links of the chain trophic. In the leachate also present heavy metals that have a high rate of toxic and therefore harmful to health.Below are some of these materials found in the leachate: – Lead (Pb): This chemical element comes from vehicle batteries and a wide variety of electronic devices (in recent years, lead-acid batteries have been replaced by lithium, especially in technological objects), as well as plastics, glass, ceramics and pigments. When the compound enters our bodies produce a series of abnormalities in the nervous system, which is manifest as cognitive loss and weakness in different parts of our body, especially in fingers, wrists and ankles. In addition, pregnant women are more likely to have abortions, and sperm production in men, you can see deeply eroded.
The first years
The first years of the EBC classes and by 1933 had been regularized and began racing banker, accountant and secretary private stenographer, the EBC was constructed with the work of excellent teachers committed to their work and home without lose sight of the human factor that should be teaching. With this ideology, were conceived many projects, foremost among them the creation of the Vocation of Social Sciences, which under a very different concept was created later to consolidate their own high school. H jar Alfredo Chavero and taught at the years 30. During the presidential term of L zaro C rdenas was carried out major changes in the education sector. In 1936 he made an amendment to article 3 of the Constitution which was significant for Mexican education. This reform impacted seriously on the private education sector, since many schools were closed for not meeting the conditions.The case of the EBC was an exception, and that far from being suspended, was favored in their academic work. On 11 September 1939, President C rdenas issued a decree in force to date, which officially recognizes the studies in the EBC, for which, together with certificates issued by it, have the same force as of government schools. The decree also establishes that the SEP will confirm the studies in the EBC and the certificates issued by it.In Article 4 of this document is given to the institution wide recognition it enjoys to this day, which is given relative freedom to create their own curricula in their various subject areas, provided they receive the official authorization. Agust n Loera and Chavez together with Alejandro Prieto Llorente, an event of the students in the EBC in the 40 This presidential decree gave the EBC many opportunities within academia, and to propose strategies teaching and innovative programs in their curricula, a situation that led to the head of private educational institutions for several decades, which allowed him also, over time, establish itself as the first system that specializes in business in Mexico. Since then, EBC has continued to grow and offer new services such as daytime courses for students and night for employees, the accounting career stenographer and private secretary.This continued with the lessons by correspondence, which later became the Open Learning Institute and the founding in 1939 of the Banking and Trade Publishing, Ltd., where he published books to meet the needs of the School, both in the school modality and the distance program. The first books published under the Banking and Commerce were signed Accounting Principles, Accounting Systems and Accounting Superior written by Alejandro Prieto Llorente, who would years later Director General of the EBC.
Banco de Cro
Banco de Cro e Inversiones Banco de Cro e Inversiones (also known by its acronym, and trade names BCI) is a Chilean bank, Yarur family property since its inception. The Bank was founded in 1937 by John Yarur Lolas and a group of entrepreneurs, in order to support small and medium enterprises in Chile. Throughout its history, the bank has been characterized by innovation in its services and the use of technology. After the crisis of the ’80s, BCI was the first bank to prepay its debt to the Central Bank. In 1991, the same day of payment, then President George died Yarur Banna, just as he announced the news to employees of the company. BCI is currently the third largest private bank in terms of bank loans and fourth in number of clients, private behind Banco Santander Chile and Banco de Chile and the State BancoEstado.BCI is a member of the International Confederation of Popular Banks (CIBP), international organization based in Brussels that brings together cooperative banks worldwide.
Economy
Santiago de los Caballeros is, after Santo Domingo, the second most important city in the country. It has 700 thousand inhabitants and is the city that has the lowest number of unemployed. It is a province with an important economic diversity. The industries of all types are concentrated in Santiago de los Caballeros (and puffer), although the snuff industry is also important in Villa Gonzalez. Regarding livestock, the main development is shown by the poultry and pig raising, both in Licey al Medio. Cattle were mainly in the mountainous regions of southern Manitoba. According to other studies, the population swells to more than 800 thousand inhabitants and the entire province exceeds one million. Since the late 70s, the region has experienced a steady economic development. Major economic and productive activities are in the tobacco industry, free zones, formal and informal trade and services. These sectors were the main sources of employment.The importance of the city has resulted in Santiago, as the economic hub of the Cibao, daily move more than a million people from different parts of the region and country. Many come to shop, to work or to sue any of the various services offered by the city and not in the other towns and provinces, except Santo Domingo. The province of Santiago contributing 14 of U.S. GDP, which reflects greatly the importance it has on national economic development. Santiago has a modern and Ron snuff industry of unquestionable quality that competes in the most demanding global markets. The snuff industry, as in the past, remains a cornerstone of its rural economy and the source of thousands of jobs in the area. The region is also a major producer and exporter of snuff to branch into Europe, as well as coffee and cocoa. Its diversified agriculture also produces many minor crops that supply the market of Santo Domingo and other communities.Although located in the heart of the island, James is equipped with flexible access routes, finding a 2 h of Santo Domingo and 45 minutes from Puerto Plata, both cities with major ports and airports to transport goods and passengers to and from the outside. Now it is for the production of cigars that the city of Santiago has gained world renown, synonymous with old tradition of tobacco and a product of the highest quality worldwide. Over 80 of the cigar comes from Santiago, a situation that is giving them international fame to this ancient city. Today, the Dominican Republic is the world’s leading exporter of pure units, surpassing both volume and quality to those recognized in Havana cigars. Santiago Cigars have become a symbol of excellence and the key to be inserted into international markets. In the industrial sector, the community also has been marked with notable success.The industrial sector development Santiago is divided into two: the national production and the export processing zones. Domestic production is extensive in a diverse range of activities, such as rum, cigarettes, shoes, leather, metalworking, packaging, ceramics, handicrafts and construction materials such as cement, blocks, windows, doors and others. Just as successful is the Export Processing Zone Exports of Santiago, one of the most dynamic and best managed by efficient patronage. The Santiago Industrial Free Zone, produces about 20 of foreign exchange generated by all open areas of the country. It is the first in job creation, for by 1995 had a total workforce of 32,000 jobs distributed in 79 companies garments, cigarettes, shoes, plastics, leather, communications, electrical and others. Already in 1998 there were an average of 52.943 employees with a total of 114 companies.The workforce of Santiago is known for its preparation and discipline, and its easy adaptation to new technologies and the concept of total quality, to provide a product that can compete successfully in the U.S. and European market. The service sector has also been developed in Santiago. A comprehensive and successful merchant class, an efficient banking system, communications, tourism, professionals of various disciplines, contribute positively to economic and social development. All this has made Santiago de los Caballeros in the main economic hub of progress in Northern and Central regions of the country, with a particular influence on the national economy.

Altres articles d’expansion Mercadona force of natural selection on their shelves Posted on 13-01-09, by EI / SS / JB Madrid / Barcelona / Valencia The strategy of keeping the shelves only that which has a high turnover will leave out numerous foreign branded goods and leave more space for its own trademark. The interproveedores-as called to teach the manufacturers of the landowner, or Forest Green Deliplus are fortified with the change. By contrast, those who only sell their own brands in Mercadona will lose ground on the leading supermarket chain in Spain, with a share value of 20 . The chain says it will not disappear brands, but companies like Gallo, Font Vella, Procter Gamble, Unilever, Nutrexpa Panrico, Nestle, Henkel, Noel, Kellogg’s and Danone foresee having to reduce the number of products sold in Mercadona, and estimated that, overall, will disappear between 600 and 800 references, a total of 9,000. Also, in some categories, the leading brand will disappear and remain only Hacendado products. According to market sources, the leading brands for cutting the number of references ranging from 30 to 40 . The chain says it “has made the diagnosis and treatment, and is bitter medicine for all, suppliers and distributors.” “Our turnover is going to be very concerned and, indeed, have begun to rebuild our budget this year to see how we can offset losses in Mercadona” says a producer who prefers not to identify, given the impact Mercadona in their accounts. “There are companies that will lead them to a drop in sales of its brands in this chain of up to 50 , since in some cases intended to eliminate more than two thirds of the flags,” says another question. Companies recognize that Mercadona has the right to take whatever decisions it considers necessary to improve their sales, but they agree in deploring the lack of transparency in information and has not been just the ability to work to propose an alternative. “Nobody has enough information,” explained from these manufacturers, who nevertheless are confident that the chain open new channels of communication. “It has generated considerable confusion and mistrust.” The winning space In contrast, those who manufacture brand distributor have a different view. Verdifresh, the company that makes salads and vegetables fourth range, notes that “we have always sought to have the lowest price in the market” and added that it had lowered prices on some of their products before Christmas. Next steps, states that “we are reviewing our processes and costs to be more efficient, and references that do not meet a rotation or being duplicated’ll remove. In the case of GNI, a manufacturer of cosmetics, will be some changes. His manager, Vicente Ruiz, explains that they will change formats, for example, the case of sunscreen-disappear-sizes and some cosmetic gentleman. In contrast, other references gain strength.The most relevant case is the cream of caviar in a year that has increased its sales by three to gain weight now on the shelves. Ruiz notes that this change will result in cost savings GNI. There are other companies that have the dual status of provider’s inter and external brand. Is the case of Grupo Siro, which manufactures brand distributor in pasta, crackers and bread, but also sells her cookies Mercadona Reglero Rio.
Tires
Compounds of tires on the grid for the Grand Prix of the United States 2005. Michelin competition tires belonging to the Formula 1 Renault R25, 2005. McLaren MP4/22 dry with soft tires. The tires are designed to withstand forces far greater than a conventional one, basing its production on the use of nylon, polyester fiber and soft rubber. During the race the tire can withstand more than a ton from the downforce and side forces of 4 g and longitudinal forces of up to 5 g This limits the number of wheels of each car to four, with the possibility to be three axles or twin wheels. In the 1970s, the Tyrrell P34 had four front wheels with a special 10-inch diameter. Part of the rubber tires have accumulated along the track left visible dark spots, usually in the pianos and curve inward and outward.The behavior of the tire is better in a certain temperature range, for example, conventional dry-weather tires, are designed to work optimally between 90 and 110 C. only in that range of temperatures reach its maximum coefficient of adhesion. Each manufacturer provides a recommended temperature for each tire, but do not vary much from those of a conventional dry tire. The tire pressure should be kept as stable as possible to get an optimum pressure distribution in the contact area with the ground. To prevent temperature changes alter the pressure of the gases that contains the wheel, instead of using air using other gases, mainly nitrogen. Atmospheric air contains oxygen and water vapor in the chamber inside the tire, rubber coating oxidized interior that ensures the tightness of the tire.The gas leak inside a tire would lead to a decrease in tire pressure, adding to the pressure distribution in the contact area with the ground while also allowing the tire to heat up faster due to increased friction. The use of nitrogen extends the life of the tire, as well as being flammable. The development of competition tires reached its peak around 1960 with the use of slick tires. But in 1998 the new rules imposed by the FIA forced the teams to use rear tires with a minimum of 4 channels of drawing, and front 3 channels, with a minimum design depth of 2.5 mm and separated by a minimum of 5 cm. These changes created new challenges for manufacturers, who now possessed less grip. Since 2001 Michelin returned to Formula 1 to compete with Bridgestone. Formerly Goodyear and Dunlop also participated in this competition.Following the decision of the FIA to impose a single tire manufacturer in the World from 2008, Michelin announced he was leaving Formula 1 after the 2006 championship. Thus, Bridgestone is the sole tire supplier since 2007 until 2010. There are four types of dry tire compounds (super soft, soft, medium and hard), another rain tires and a fourth type of extreme wet tires. A set of tires is a set of two front and two rear tires of the same type of compound.Since 2007, each driver receives at each Grand Prix two types of dry tires, which are previously selected by the tire manufacturer, and can not use more than 7 games of each type of dry tires, plus 4 sets of wet tires and 3 sets of extreme wet tires. No driver may use more than two sets of each type of dry tires for the first two sessions of training. that provides softer tires Bridgestone each track must have a white line visible to the public. The set only four tires and a supplier is a reduction in the degree of inequality between teams in the tests performed and development costs. Currently allows the tires are inflated with compressed air, nitrogen or carbon dioxide. By using nitrogen reduces the rate of leakage of gas inside the tire, and that nitrogen diffuses through the tire more slowly than air.This allows greater control of the tire pressure, a slowdown in its heating and lower rolling resistance, increasing the efficiency of the fuel. Moreover, by reducing the oxygen concentration reduces the corrosion rate of the rim and tire degradation, increasing its life. See also: List of tire manufacturers in Formula 1
