Análisis comparativo de la competitividad de las economías del Perú y Chile en un enfoque global

Small economies, such as the Peruvian and Chilean, are immersed in the global arena of emergent economies, so evaluating them from a home based point of view (Porter, 1990) would be limited and of little use. This fact turns Porter’s national diamond framework insufficient for that purpose (Moon, Rugman and Verbeke, 1998). This paper analyzes these economies from a global view that would include local as well as foreign markets; in other words, it applies the International Competitiveness Double Diamond approach proposed by Moon, Rugman & Verbeke (1998), and Moon & Lee (2004). Information from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the World Economic Forum, the Inter-American Development Bank and other sources was gathered to draw up the double diamond. The empirical analyses show that Chile is more competitive globally, while Peru is locally. To sum up, the results imply that Chile is more attractive to direct foreign investment than Peru.Las economías pequeñas como la peruana y la chilena se encuentran inmersas en la arena global de las economías emergentes por lo que evaluarlas desde un punto de vista puramente local (homed based Porter 1990) sería un enfoque bastante limitado y poco útil; por ello el diamante nacional de Porter (1990) resulte a todas luces insuficiente para este propósito (Moon Rugman y Verbeke 1998: 135). Este artículo analiza estas economías desde un enfoque global que incluye tanto el mercado local como el extranjero es decir desde la perspectiva del doble diamante de la competitividad internacional propuesto por Moon Rugman y Verbeke (1998) y Moon y Lee (2004). Para la elaboración del doble diamante se utilizó información procedente del Banco Mundial el Fondo Monetario Internacional el Foro Económico Mundial el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo y otros. Los análisis empíricos muestran que Chile es más competitivo globalmente mientras que el Perú lo es más localmente. En resumenel resultado implica que Chile es más atractivo que el Perú para la inversión directa extranjera

The mediator role of hierarchical distance on social processes-HRM practices: An empirical analysis of Spanish firms

The literature pays little attention to non-linear models, especially regarding dimensions such as organizational culture. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to test the role of hierarchical distance in the relationship between HRM practices and social processes. With a sample of 102 Spanish firms and using partial least squares structural equation modeling assessed this relationship. Results suggested mediation of hierarchical distance between HRM practices and social processes. Such results recommend that HR managers should consider hierarchical distance more carefully especially when creating HRM practices to improve relationships among employees. Thus, the politics of commitment function better when organizations are more horizontal and when tasks are commonly delegated, managers question employees frequently prior to making decisions, discussions are encouraged, and social relationships – both in and out of work – are valued, appear to provide the most benefit regarding competitive advantages generated through HRM practices

Un análisis del escenario económico del Perú y Chile, desde la perspectiva del doble diamante de la competitividad global

Las pequeñas economías, como la peruana y chilena, se encuentran inmersas en la arena global de las economías emergentes, por lo que evaluarlas desde un punto de vista puramente local (homed based; Porter1990) sería un enfoque bastante limitado y poco útil. Este hecho hace que el diamante nacional de Porter (1990) resulte, a todas luces, insuficiente para dicho propósito (Moon et al. 1998: 135). Este artículo analiza las economías mencionadas desde un enfoque más global, que incluye tanto el mercado local como el extranjero; es decir, evaluarlo desde la perspectiva del doble diamante de la competitividad internacional propuesta por Moon et al. (1998), y Moon y Lee (2004: 138).Little economies, as the Peruvian and Chilean, are found immersed in the global sand of the emerging economies, so that to evaluate them from a home based point of view (Porter 1990) would be a very limited and not useful approach. This fact makes Porter’s national diamond (1990) to end up, not being enough for that objective (Moon et al. 1998: 135). This paper analyzes the mentioned economies from a global approach, which includes the local market and the foreign market, in other words, to evaluate them from the double diamond perspective of the international competitiveness proposed by Moon et al. (1998), and Moon and Lee (2004: 138)
