RESUMENEn los últimos años, las empresas han venido realizando grandes inversiones en generosos mecanismos de retribución y compensación a sus empleados con la esperanza de alcanzar un doble objetivo. Por un lado, que estas actuaciones sean reconocidas por el mercado de valores y, por otro, esperando un mayor retorno de la inversión realizada en su personal. En el presente trabajo comprobamos cómo están repercutiendo estas inversiones sobre la productividad de los empleados (resultados económicos) y si son premiadas por el mercado de capitales (resultados financieros). Nuestro estudio se centra en los grupos de empresa cotizados españoles.Palabras clave: gestión, intangibles, capital humano, política retributiva. Intangibles of human capital management.

In this research, the challenges of using human capital and the effectiveness of social capital as an alternative resource used by immigrant women from non-English-speaking countries living in Central Alberta for them to attain economic security are studied. Evidence indicates heavy use of bonding social capital by immigrant women—primarily through family, ethnic, and religious networks—as a “survival” resource at the initial stage of settlement. The bonding social capital is relatively easy to access; nevertheless, in the case of visible minority immigrant women living in Central Alberta, bonding social capital has limited capacity in helping them to obtain economic security because their family and friends themselves often lack economic resources. As a result, these immigrant women are expected to compete in the labor market using their human capital to obtain higher-paying jobs. The challenge among immigrant women remains in seeking recognition of non-Canadian credentials, and/or successful acquisition and deployment of Canadian credentials in the primary labor market.

Facultad de Economía, Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo Michoacán, México DOI: https://doi.org/10.33017/RevECIPeru2010.0012/ RESUMEN Las relaciones entre empresas grandes y las de menor tamaño (pequeñas y medianas, Pymes) es un tema importante y a la vez polémico. Con los avances de los procesos de globalización, en particular desde las políticas económicas que privilegian la apertura comercial, se enfatiza en los impactos positivos de la inversión extranjera directa en la dinámica económica de los países receptores. En ese contexto, diversos estudios se enfocan al análisis de las derramas provenientes de empresas grandes (transnacionales y nacionales) hacia Pymes locales y suponen que los incrementos de productividad de éstas últimas están relacionados con las derramas de conocimiento desde las grandes. Otras investigaciones destacan las relaciones asimétricas entre las empresas grandes y las Pymes, por tal razón sostienen que los impactos son más negativos sobre las empresas de menor tamaño y no existe significativamente acumulación de aprendizajes, habilidades y capacidades tecnológicas y productivas en las Pymes. Teniendo como marco el debate a partir de estos estudios, el trabajo se propone analizar cuáles son las ventajas y las dificultades que las Pymes enfrentan para el aprovechamiento de las derramas de conocimiento así como cuáles son los mecanismos específicos para su acumulación. Para ilustrar las argumentaciones se toma como referencia la experiencia en algunas ramas industriales de la economía mexicana. Palabras clave: Derramas de conocimiento, capacidades de absorción, vínculos de proveeduría, movilidad del capital humano. ABSTRACT The relationships between big companies and the small and mid-size companies (SMEs) are an important and simultaneously controversial subject. With the advances of the globalisation processes, in particular from the economic policies that privilege the commercial opening, it is emphasized in the positive impacts of the direct foreign investment in the economic dynamics of the receiving countries. In that context, diverse studies focus to the analysis of the spillover of big companies (transnational and national) towards local SMEs and suppose that the increases of productivity of these last ones are related to the spillover knowledge from the big ones. Other investigations emphasize the asymmetric relations between the big companies and the SMEs, for such reason maintain that the impacts are more negative on the smaller companies and significantly does not exist technological and productive accumulation of learnings, abilities and capacities in the SMEs. Having as frame the debate from these studies, the work analyze which are the advantages and the difficulties that the SMEs face for the advantage of the spillover knowledge as well as which are the specific mechanisms for their accumulation. In order to illustrate the argumentations the experience in some mexican industries is taken like reference. Keywords: Spillover knowledge, capabilities of absorption, bonds of provider, mobility of the human capital.

The Impact

The development of a modern economy, in the context of the fourth industrial revolution, is impossible without the accumulation and development of human capital, since the foundation of the transformation of the economic system in an innovative economy is human capital. In this regard, the level of development and the efficiency of using human capital are of paramount importance. This article attempts to assess the role of human capital in the fourth industrial revolution. In the future, human talent will play a much more important role in the production process than capital. However, it will also lead to a greater division of the labor market with a growing gap between low-paid and high-paid jobs, and will contribute to an increase in social tensions. Already today, there is an increase in demand for highly skilled workers, especially in high-income countries, with a decrease in demand for workers with lower skills and lower levels of education. Analysis of labor market trends suggests that the future labor market is a market where there is simultaneously a certain demand for both higher and lower skills and abilities, combined with the devastation of the middle tier. The fourth industrial revolution relies heavily on the concept of human capital and the importance of finding complementarity between human and technology. In assessing the impact of the fourth industrial revolution, the relationship between technology, economic growth and human resources was examined. The analysis was carried out in terms of three concepts of economic growth, technological change and human capital. Human capital contributes to the advancement of new technologies, which makes the concept of human capital an essential factor in technological change. The authors emphasize that the modern economy makes new demands on workers; therefore it is necessary to constantly accumulate human capital, develop it through continuous learning, which will allow the domestic economy to enter the trajectory of sustainable economic growth. The need to create conditions for a comprehensive increase in the level of human capital development is noted.
