Book Description
La obra destaca lo último en conocimiento e investigación sobre el sector de la economía latinoamericana que más genera empleo, impulsa la movilidad social y actúa como incubadora de innovación, pero permanece menospreciado y poco estudiado. Aporta una valiosa actualización de nuevas tendencias en el desarrollo del sector, el papel que desempeña en nuestra cada vez más global economía y lo que recién hemos aprendido de las políticas ideadas para apoyarlo. Una muy bienvenida, oportuna y entusiasta contribución a las pymes. Allen Blackman Centro de investigación Resources for the Future Washington, D. C. Este es un libro fundamental para comprender que las pymes son un actor clave en la transformación productiva de América Latina y que la región puede y debe incentivar el acceso al financiamiento, el emprendimiento, la innovación y la inserción en cadenas de suministro globales para lograr un crecimiento más alto e inclusivo. Enrique García Presidente ejecutivo CAF - Banco de Desarrollo de América Latina. Las pymes, pequeñas y medianas empresas, son la fuente de empleo y de movilidad social más importante de América Latina. Fortalecerlas, mejorarlas y facilitar su crecimiento y sostenibilidad son prioridades en torno de las cuales políticos y analistas están de acuerdo. Sin embargo, hay poco acuerdo en la manera en que estos objetivos pueden convertirse en realidades. Son muchos y variados los esfuerzos que en toda América Latina se han hecho para potenciar la pequeña y mediana industria. Con frecuencia estos esfuerzos han dado pocos resultados. Henry Gómez y Bart van Hoof convocan en estas páginas a un lúcido grupo de analistas y académicos que nos ofrecen una interesante visión panorámica de las realidades, dificultades y posibilidades de las pymes en América Latina. Este texto será referencia obligatoria para cualquier análisis o propuesta que en el futuro se hagan sobre este sector tan importante para la economía y la sociedad de nuestra región.

Glosario Del Banco Mundial
Author: World Bank
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

The North American Mosaic
Author: Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

The Performance of Seaport Clusters
Author: Peter W. de Langen
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Marine terminals
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
This PhD thesis deals with the performance of clusters. Even though cluster studies are numerous, a coherent framework to analyze cluster performance is lacking. In this thesis, such a framework is developed, drawing from different schools that deal with clusters. Central in the framework is a distinction to variables of cluster performance related to the structure of a cluster and variables related to the governance of a cluster. Four structure variables - agglomeration ands disagglomeration forces, internal competition, heterogeneity of the cluster and the level of entry and exit barriers - and four governance related variables - the presence of trust, the presence of intermediaries, the presence of leader firms and the quality of collective action regimes - are identified and discussed. The validity of these variables is confirmed in the three case studies, of the port clusters of Rotterdam, Durban, and the lower Mississippi. The strengths and weaknesses of the three port clusters, the importance of the variables discussed above and opportunities for policy and management to improve the performance of clusters are discussed.The results of this study are relevant for cluster scholars and for scholars specializing in port studies. The thesis is also relevant for (port) cluster managers and for managers of firms in (port) clusters, since implications of this study for policy and management in (port) clusters are discussed.
