    Gestión ambiental para sistemas productivos piscícolas, en Ecosistemas Altoandinos en el contexto de la producción más limpia.
    (2015-03-17) Joaqui Daza, Samir
    Los productores rurales del departamento del Cauca tienen como base de sus actividades agrícolas el capital natural; en una región como el suroccidente colombiano privilegiada por la oferta ambiental esta situación se convierte en una ventaja, pues con un adecuado manejo que involucre comunidades, sector académico, sector privado y estatal, se podría convertir en una región líder en el manejo integral de los recursos naturales, propiciando acceso a mercados diferenciados por ende un aumento en los ingresos y un mejoramiento de la calidad de vida. En el departamento del Cauca, hay ejemplos de productores rurales de pequeña escala que están incursionando mercados diferenciados, que han mejorado su calidad de vida y reducido la presión sobre los ecosistemas por medio del desarrollo de estrategias integrales que involucran equipos de trabajos interdisciplinarios de diversos ámbitos. Específicamente para el sector piscícola, se han realizado importantes avances al respecto, mediante la estructuración de una estrategia organizativa comunitaria en alianza con el sector productivo académico y estatal, aportando significativamente a la economía de la zona mejorando su calidad de vida y reduciendo la presión sobre el medio ambiente. Abstract Rural producers in the department of Cauca are based on agricultural activities on natural capital, in a region like southwestern Colombia privileged by the environmental supply this situation becomes an advantage, since with proper management that involves communities, industry, academics, private and state sector, could turn into a leading region in the integrated management of natural resources, promoting access to different markets hence increasing revenues and improving the quality of life. In the department of Cauca, there are examples of small-scale rural producers who are moving into different markets, which have improved their quality of life and reducing pressure on ecosystems through the development of comprehensive strategies that involve teams of interdisciplinary work. Specifically for the fish sector, there has been significant progress in this direction, through the structuring of a community organizing strategy in partnership with academic and state productive sector, contributing significantly to the economy of the area by improving their quality of life and reducing pressure on the environment.

    Tecnologías de información y comunicación, e innovación en las MIPYMES de Colombia.
    (2015-02-12) Gálvez Albarracín, Edgar J.
    Este trabajo muestra los resultados de una investigación realizada en Colombia para determinar empíricamente el impacto que sobre la innovación de las micro, pequeñas, y medianas empresas (MIPYME) tiene el uso de las tecnologías de información y comunicación (TIC); para eso se consultó a 1201 directivos de este tipo de organizaciones sobre la utilización de ocho herramientas y prácticas TIC en ellas y sobre la evolución de su desempeño innovador en productos y/o servicios, procesos, gestión y a nivel global. Los resultados descriptivos muestran que el grado de uso de las TIC en las MIPYME colombianas es apenas aceptable, y los correlaciónales obtenidos mediante regresiones lineales múltiples que el uso de las TIC influye positivamente sobre los tipos de innovación analizados a excepción de los procesos productivos. Estos hallazgos son de gran utilidad para los empresarios, la academia y las entidades que promueven el conocimiento y desarrollo de las MIPYME, ya que permiten comprobar la importancia de continuar impulsando programas de fomento del uso de las TIC al interior de estas como medio para alcanzar la innovación que mejore su nivel competitivo. Abstract This work shares the results of a research conducted in Colombia to empirically determine the impact on innovation of the micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) regarding the use of information and communication technologies (ICT); this required consulting 1201 directors from these types of organizations on their use of eight ICT tools and practices and on the evolution of their innovative performance in goods and/or services, processes, management and at the global level. The descriptive results show that the degree of use of ICT in Colombian MSMEs is barely acceptable, and the correlational results obtained through multiple linear regressions, that the use of ICT impacts positively on the types of innovation analyzed, except for productive processes. These findings are greatly useful for entrepreneurs, academia, and entities that promote knowledge and development of MSMEs, given that they permit testing the importance of continuing with the promotion of programs to encourage the use of ICT within them, as means to reach the innovation that improves their competitive level. Résumée Ce travail présente les résultats d´une recherche réalisée en Colombie pour déterminer empiriquement l´impact de l´usage de technologies d´information et de communication (TIC) sur l´innovation des micros, petites et moyennes entreprises. Pour cela on a consulté 1 201 directeurs de ce type d´organisations sur l´usage de huit outils et pratiques TIC et sur l´évolution de sa performance innovatrice sur des produits et/ou des services, processus et gestion à niveau global. Les résultats descriptifs montrent que le degré d´usage des TIC dans les micros, petites et moyennes entreprises est à peine acceptable et les corrélations obtenues à partir de régressions linéaires multiples montrent que l´usage des TIC influe positivement sur les types d´innovation analysés à l´exception des processus productifs. Ces résultats sont d´une grande utilité pour les hommes d´affaires, l´académie et les entités qui favorisent la connaissance et le développement des micros, petites et moyennes entreprises, puisqu´elles permettent de vérifier l´importance de continuer à renforcer des programmes de promotion de l´usage des TIC, comme moyen pour atteindre l´innovation qu´améliorerait son niveau compétitif.

    Theoretical understanding between competitiveness and productivity: firm level
    (Universidad del Valle, 2018-07-19) Dresch, Aline; Collatto, Dalila Cisco; Lacerda, Daniel Pacheco
    (Eng) The objective of this article is to contribute to the understanding of the concept of competitiveness at firm level and its relation to productivity. To support the objective of this work, a systematic review of the literature was conducted and was subsequently structured an analysis of the elements found in the literature through systems thinking. Systems thinking enables to identify the cause and effect between the elements of competitiveness, highlighting the convergence and divergence between these elements. It was concluded that productivity stood out among the other elements confirming its importance in determining firm competitiveness. Limitations of this study consists on the theoretical nature, there is the need for an empirical study to verify the practical effect of productivity on competitiveness at the firm level.
