<p>En nuestra realidad mundial, lacompetitividad es de máxima trascendencia paranuestras compañías, e incluso para los países.Esto es muy fácil afirmarlo, pero lo que sugiereen el fondo es que ya no es suficiente el manejodel desempeño, año a año, de la empresa, sino quees necesaria la comparación con otras empresasdedicadas a la misma actividad, con el fin deidentificar deficiencias o ventajas competitivas,para ajustar las estrategias del negocio. El actualartículo tiene la más alta relevancia en este tema,ya que presenta un modelo de comparación deíndices financieros mediante los cuales los paíseslatinoamericanos podrían compararse con otrosmercados. Los autores se dedicaron a la tarea derecopilar información disponible de países dela Eurozona para compararla con la de un paísde Latinoamérica, lo que ayudaría a definir, porejemplo, el nivel utilizado de recursos empresariales(activos, recursos de capital) o el margen deganancia esperado. A partir de lo anterior, el modelopuede ser usado por cualquier sector empresarial.</p><p> </p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p>Competitiveness is of the utmost importancefor companies and even countries in contemporaryglobal reality. Although easy to say, the core of thematter suggests that nowadays it is not enoughto manage performance on a year to year basis,but it is also necessary to compare it with othercompanies in the same course of business in orderto identify competitive advantages or deficiencies,and adjust business strategies accordingly. Thisarticle is highly relevant for this subject as itpresents a financial index comparison modelthrough which Latin American countries cancompare themselves to other markets. The authorscompiled information available for the Euro zonecountries in order to compare it to any LatinAmerican country, which could, for instance,be used to establish the level of entrepreneurialresources used (assets, capital resources), or theexpected profit margin, based on which the modelcan be applied by any entrepreneurial sector.</p>

Peru”s recent economic policy, like that of most Latin American countries! has followed the paradigm of the socalled “Washington Consensus”. Such paradigm precludes the implementation of “strategic” industrial policies as well as the active and deliberate construction of competitive advantages through measures that foster certain sectors or activities. “Washington-Consensus” thinkers hold that the “magic of the market” and its indiscriminate opening will allow countries to acquire the necessary long-term external competitiveness, promote economic growth and enhance standards of living, regardless of the country”s productive specialization.

Summary: The two main sources of errors in educational and psychological evaluation are the lack of adequate technical and psychometric characteristics of the tests, and especially the failure to properly implement the testing process. The main goal of the present research is to study the situation of test construction and test use in the Spanish-speaking (Spain and Latin American countries) and Portuguese-speaking (Portugal and Brazil) countries. The data were collected using a questionnaire constructed by the European Federation of Professional Psychologists Association (EFPPA) Task Force on Tests and Testing, under the direction of D. Bartram . In addition to the questionnaire, other ad hoc data were also gathered. Four main areas of psychological testing were investigated: Educational, Clinical, Forensic and Work. Key persons were identified in each country in order to provide reliable information. The main results are presented, and some measures that could be taken in order to improve the current testing practices in the countries surveyed are discussed. As most of the tests used in these countries were originally developed in other cultures, a problem that appears to be especially relevant is the translation and adaptation of tests.

Legal Battle

Throughout the nineteenth century, European booksellers and publishers, mostly from France, England, Germany and Spain, produced textual materials in Europe and introduced them into Mexico and other Latin American countries. These transatlantic interchanges unfolded against the backdrop of the emergence of the international legal system to protect translation rights and required the involvement of a complex network of agents who carried with them publishing, translating and negotiating practices, in addition to books, pamphlets, prints and other goods. Tracing the trajectories of translated books and the socio-cultural, economic and legal forces shaping them, this article examines the legal battle over the translation and publishing rights of Les Leçons de chimie élémentaire, a chemistry book authored by Jean Girardin and translated and published in Spanish by Jean-Frédéric Rosa. Drawing on a socio-historical approach to translation, I argue that the arguments presented by both parties are indicative of the uncertainty surrounding the legal status of translated texts and of the different values then attributed to translation.
