Survey and analysis of the indicators of intellectual capital in MiPymes of León, Guanajuato under the Intellectus Model approach

This paper presents the result of a correlational study derived from the exploratory analysis of a previous work in 2019 on the behavior of key indicators of intellectual capital management under the approach of socio-evolutionary models such as the Intellectus Model from which a 27-question-survey was designed and applied to a sample of 69 companies of different sizes and lines of work in the city of León. The results of the study show that in the companies subjects of the research are found significant positive correlations in the behavior of key indicators such as levels of integration and motivation of staff, promotion mechanisms, level of involvement in decision-making, levels of education, propensity to change or improvement in products and processes, transfer of knowledge in the form of intangible assets as trademarks and patents which allow companies to increase their chances of permanence and growth in the long term. The above gathered from the statistical analysis applied to the database constructed from the results of the field research among the companies that agreed to answer the initial survey.

Risk management in local micro-enterprises

Risk management within the microenterprise implies the identification of future impacts, as well as anticipating the negative impacts to face effects that make the production process impossible, so that from this, actions are designed to eliminate the possibility of the risk occurring . Hence the importance derives since with the design of prevention actions and with the implementation of this, by the workers themselves it is feasible to avoid its occurrence, in order to achieve safer work spaces. The research was carried out in a local carpentry workshop whose objective is: to design an Occupational Risk Prevention Plan. Method used: and carried out the risk assessment, key risk factors were identified, to later define the appropriate preventive measures and the management of the business training plan. This research contributed to the design of a plan fully adapted to the productive characteristics of the company, which responds to more specific situations and that can be implemented during the working day, to achieve the sustainability of the organization by obtaining workspace cleaner and safer.

Systemic review of the context of external financing of MSMEs in Mexico

MSMEs are a key component for the economic and social development of countries, in Mexico they generate approximately 70% of jobs and contribute around 35% of GDP. There is great empirical evidence that shows that the lack of financing affects the economic growth of companies. Microenterprises are those that face the most external financing restrictions and indicate that high interest rates are their main limitation for not accessing external financing, therefore, they are the most affected in their economic growth. The objective of this research is to carry out a systemic review of the context of external financing of MSMEs in Mexico. The results infer that it is urgent to implement adequate public policies to strengthen the financial system and facilitate access to external financing under the best conditions for MSMEs to improve their competitiveness and economic growth.

Redesigning a product: Strategy for alignment to mass production

Today, companies dedicated to the design and manufacture of products seek to improve processes and procedures to provide better services. In addition to this, the development of products designed to meet specific needs plays an important role when feedback is obtained, in terms of design and functionality, from the end user for the consolidation of a product. Looking for such consolidation and identifying improvement opportunities, in the present paper a redesign was made based on specific criteria to align manufacturing to mass production. The theoretical framework is established taking the bases of Concurrent Engineering (CE) and Lean Manufacturing (LM), which allows to base the redesign of a scissor wagon (case study). The proposed design was structured under the approaches of cost reduction, quality improvement and characterization of geometry to reduce weight, allowed to define an architecture capable of being aligned to a mass production. The complete procedure to perform the redesign of the wagon and the analysis criteria used to conform such architecture are reported. Finally, the strategies defined for the inclusion of the new product to production and the geometry optimization results obtained by finite element analysis (FEA) are presented.

Impact on the economic and tourist development of the micro-businesses of the food sector of Xicotepec, due to the Health Contingency caused by the SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19)

The project documents the research carried out through questionnaires that determine the effects that the health contingency has had in the municipality of Xicotepec de Juárez, Puebla, specifically in micro-businesses in the food sector, due to the pandemic caused by the better known SARS-COV-2 virus as COVID-19, emphasizing that said municipality has the name of “Pueblo Mágico”, which positions it as a tourist spot in this area of the country and that the economic income depends on the flow of national and foreign visitors, so that recognizing the situation of micro-enterprises in the gastronomic sector and the way in which they have managed their activities under the current context, will allow us to identify opportunities to interact with them in order to put into practice the necessary strategies to keep them in operation, seeking that not only survive the health contingency, but also adapt to the new reality to achieve development and real economic growth.

In this regard, the debate is that the social function should actually be the end and generation of profits, the consequence; in any case, companies are expected to have an infrastructure, capital, employees, processes, a stay and location in the market, etc. If a business is created with an apparent or simulated turn, disguising tax evasion ins and outs, it must necessarily face administrative and criminal consequences. However, as has been ventilated on other occasions, tax planning does not involve any crime; premise that is more important than ever in this tax reform of 2020, in which a prosecution against tax advisers has been legalized, equating their professional work with organized crime, creating audit procedures that govern the free exercise of the profession, like says Article 5. Constitutional. The international trend, namely the BEPS Project, has been to monitor and punish simulation; however, the incorporation of these measures into the Mexican tax system appears to be exceeded and inappropriate.

However, all of the above mentioned depends directly on who carries out the business management of each business units, therefore, the present research aims to identify and analyze which is the profile of the entrepreneur that allows reaching the desirable indicators for competitiveness, specifically for the municipality of Bahía de Banderas, Nayarit. Among the main results, it was found that formal education is not a determining factor, but that more elements are needed, such as non-formal education, experience and attitudinal competencies.
