Orientaci贸n emprendedora y capacidad de absorci贸n como determinantes del desempe帽o exportador de pymes: caso Ecuador
En los 煤ltimos a帽os, el desempe帽o exportador de las pymes ha sido uno de los
temas m谩s investigados en las ciencias administrativas. Pese a ello, por las diferencias
entre las pymes y el contexto en que operan, no existe una taxonom铆a com煤nmente
aceptada. Sin embargo, los modelos de internacionalizaci贸n de pymes, fundamentados
en el enfoque basado en recursos, reconocen la importancia del conocimiento sobre
mercados internacionales para el logro de altos niveles de desempe帽o exportador. En
la presente investigaci贸n, se considera que el conocimiento es una condici贸n necesaria
pero no suficiente para la identificaci贸n y explotaci贸n de oportunidades en los
mercados internacionales. Por ello, se propone un modelo, basado en la perspectiva
evolutiva de la administraci贸n estrat茅gica, en donde el desempe帽o financiero y
estrat茅gico exportador est谩 influenciado por la capacidad de absorci贸n y la orientaci贸n
emprendedora de las pymes. Para comprobar las hip贸tesis del modelo conceptual, se
estudiaron a las pymes exportadoras de Ecuador. En esta investigaci贸n se demuestra
que la orientaci贸n emprendedora tiene una mayor influencia que la capacidad de
absorci贸n en el logro de altos niveles de desempe帽o financiero y estrat茅gico
exportador de las pymes. Por otro lado, para profundizar en los resultados, se estim贸
la heterogeneidad del modelo por medio de la inclusi贸n de variables moderadoras.
Adem谩s, se presentan las implicancias de los resultados dirigidas a los
administradores de pymes y gobierno para el dise帽o de estrategias que permitan la
inserci贸n estrat茅gica de empresas ecuatorianas en mercados internacionales. Por
煤ltimo, se proponen l铆neas de investigaci贸n para la extender el conocimiento del
resultado de la internacionalizaci贸n de pymes desde la perspectiva de recursos y
capacidades estrat茅gicas.In recent years, the export performance of SMEs has been one of the most researched
topics in administrative sciences. Despite this, due to the differences between SMEs
and the context in which they operate, there is no commonly accepted taxonomy.
However, the internationalization models of SMEs, based on the resource-based
approach, recognize the importance of knowledge about international markets to
achieve high levels of export performance. In the present investigation, it is
considered that knowledge is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the
identification and exploitation of opportunities in international markets. Therefore, a
model is proposed, based on the evolutionary perspective of strategic management,
where the financial and strategic export performance is influenced by the absorption
capacity and the entrepreneurial orientation of exporting SMEs. To check the
hypothesis of the conceptual model, exporting SMEs from Ecuador were studied. This
research shows that the entrepreneurial orientation has a greater influence than the
absorption capacity in achieving high levels of financial and strategic export
performance of SMEs. On the other hand, to deepen the results, the heterogeneity of
the model was estimated through the inclusion of moderating variables. In addition,
the implications of the results are presented to SME and government administrators
for the design of strategies that allow the strategic insertion of Ecuadorian companies
in international markets. Finally, research lines are proposed to extend the knowledge
of the result of the internationalization of SMEs from the perspective of resources and
strategic capabilitiesTesi
Modelos de internacionalizaci贸n de los cantantes guayaquile帽os
El art铆culo inicia con una descripci贸n general de la globalizaci贸n musical y la importancia de esta industria para el pa铆s. La metodolog铆a de investigaci贸n seguida fue cualitativa tipo exploratoria. Como herramienta de recolecci贸n de datos se utiliz贸 la entrevista semi-estructurada, y la muestra fue escogida de varios artistas internacionalizados o con proyecci贸n de internacionalizaci贸n de diferentes g茅neros. Se determinaron sus estrategias, proyecciones, motivaciones, factores determinantes y limitaciones, respondiendo a las preguntas de investigaci贸n planteadas en este art铆culo. La investigaci贸n busca determinar el modelo de internacionalizaci贸n utilizado por los cantantes guayaquile帽os en el contexto actual. Entre los hallazgos m谩s importantes es que modelo de internacionalizaci贸n var铆a de acuerdo al g茅nero y al capital de inversi贸n disponible, fluctuando entre el modelo evolutivo de la escuela de Uppsala, el modelo trampol铆n de Pla-Barber y el modelo Born Global de Sigala & Mirabal. El art铆culo invita tambi茅n a explorar el modelo de internacionalizaci贸n ideal para la industria de la m煤sica ecuatoriana
Impacto de la apertura comercial en el caso del Ecuador: el mercado de arroz

LA BASE DE ESTE ESTUDIO ANALIZA EL IMPACTO DE ACUERDO COMERCIAL DEL PRODUCTO ESTE TRABAJO ES IMPORTANTE EN ESTOS MOMENTOS EN QUE ECUADOR ESTA A LAS PUERTAS DE UN ACUERDO COMERCIAL
Impacto de la apertura comercial en el caso del Ecuador: el mercado de arroz
El principal objetivo de la implementaci贸n de un acuerdo comercial es aumentar la eficiencia, calculado con el cambio en el bienestar. Los principales resultados que se obtienen al estimar el cambio en el bienestar destacan que aunque los productores de arroz se ver谩n afectados por la disminuci贸n en el precio por un acuerdo comercial, la sociedad en general le va beneficiar esa disminuci贸n en el precio ya que podr谩 mantener su nivel de consumo a un costo m谩s bajo. Por otro lado en el an谩lisis Probit se demuestra que el precio no es la 煤nica variable explicativa de la decisi贸n de ser vendedor y que existen otras variables que contribuyen significativamente a esa decisi贸n. Entre esas variables se tiene: la diversificaci贸n de cultivos, la superficie de tierra, el n煤mero de personas en el hogar, acceso a cr茅ditos, entre otras. Adem谩s se plantean unas posibles soluciones que pueden ser tomadas en cuenta para ayudar a los perdedores del acuerdo comercial que son los vendedores e arroz
Analysis of the Quality of Service in Gastronomic Festivals
Gastronomic festivals have become a pathway to promoting the gastronomy and culture of a tourist destination. However, there is no taxonomy for evaluating the quality of services in these types of festivals. For this reason, the present study aimed to propose a service quality evaluation model applicable to gastronomic festivals based on a review of commonly used models. The research was carried out at the Ra铆ces Gastronomic Festival held in Guayaquil, Ecuador, in 2018. Six hundred valid questionnaires were obtained, and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was applied to identify the dimensions of the items. In addition, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to validate the proposed model. As a result, we obtained a questionnaire to evaluate the quality of services in gastronomic festivals based on tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, and adequacy dimensions. These findings contribute to expanding the academic literature on food festivals and provide a questionnaire to measure the service quality of this type of event

The Influence of Work鈥揊amily Conflict on Burnout during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Effect of Teleworking Overload
If there is any field that has experienced changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is work, primarily due to the implementation of teleworking and the effort made by workers and families to face new responsibilities. In this context, the study aims to analyze the impact of work鈥揻amily conflict on burnout, considering work overload, in teleworkers during the COVID-19 pandemic. To evaluate the hypotheses, we used data collected during the last week of July 2020 using an online survey. Work鈥揻amily conflict and burnout were measured using the Gutek et al. (1991) and Shirom (1989) scales. We tested the hypotheses using a structural equation model (SEM). The results indicated, between other findings, that there was a positive relationship between work鈥揻amily conflict and family鈥搘ork conflict and all the dimensions of burnout. However, there was no effect of teleworking overload in the work鈥揻amily conflict and burnout relationship. This article is innovative because it highlights the importance of the economic and regulatory conditions that have surrounded the modality of teleworking during the pandemic, and their influence on wellbeing and psychosocial risks in workers
Eco-Innovation and Firm Performance: Evidence from South America
Eco-innovation has received a great deal of attention in academia and the business sector because it promotes a firm鈥檚 sustainable development and seeks to improve its performance. The prime objective of this study was to analyze the effect of the process, organization, and product eco-innovation on the company鈥檚 financial and environmental performance. Using a structural equation model estimated by maximum likelihood and a sample from 214 South American manufacturing companies in Colombia, Ecuador, and Per煤, we found that organizational eco-innovation (OE) and process eco-innovation (PCE) are positively and significantly associated with the firm鈥檚 environmental and financial performance. In contrast, product eco-innovation (PDE) is not significantly associated with the two types of performance described. Likewise, OE has a significant and positive indirect influence on PDE, environmental performance, and financial performance. These findings suggest that OE and PCE positively affect the firm鈥檚 performance. On the contrary, PDE does not have this effect, extending the discussion that eco-innovation is specific to the context of the study
