Building Trust by CSR: An Illustration in the Chain of Suppliers of the Textile Industry

2014

La crisis mundial ha erosionado la confianza en las empresas y en sus directivos. Proponemos que su recuperacion descansa en el desarrollo de un modelo de empresa pluralista que asuma una responsabilidad social corporativa ciudadana. Analizamos en que medida esta RSC ciudadana existe en las cadenas de suministro de las principales empresas del sector textil espanol mostrando la diversidad de respuestas en terminos de transparencia y de dialogo participativo. Transparencia y dialogo deben permitir la construccion de un “ethos” que devuelva la confianza perdida

Assurance of Sustainability Reporting in a European Context

2014

espanolLa verificacion externa dota de mayor credibilidad a los informes de RSC. Este trabajo muestra los resultados de un estudio empirico, durante 2005-2009, sobre la verificacion de 2.685 informes de sostenibilidad elaborados por empresas europeas. Los resultados senalan que la decision de verificacion depende del tamano de la empresa, del sector al que pertenece, del ano y del sistema contable de los paises. Espana, con un 33% de informes verificados, es el pais que verifica mas informes de sostenibilidad, revelandose como pionero en la busqueda de mayor calidad en la informacion social y medioambiental publicada.

Productivity, Profitability and Employment: Exploring the Different Effects of the Offshoring Mode

2014

La implementacion de distintas modalidades de offshoring viene siendo una practica habitual en las empresas multinacionales europeas, sin embargo, poco se conoce sobre los efectos que el uso de estas estrategias ejerce en los resultados, uno de los aspectos de mayor interes para las empresas. En este sentido, a partir de una muestra de 156 empresas multinacionales europeas del sector manufacturero, se analizan las diferencias derivadas de la eleccion del modo de offshoring en la productividad y la rentabilidad de las empresas. Adicionalmente, el trabajo examina la influencia que el uso de esta estrategia ejerce sobre el empleo, uno de los efectos que mas inquietud despierta en el entorno ec…

"Springboard Country" and "Springboard Subsidiary": A New Outlook on Internationalization into Latin America

2014

Este articulo dota de contenido teorico a los conceptos de “pais trampolin” y “filial trampolin”. Una realidad en las relaciones Espana-Latinoamerica, que pese a estar continuamente presente en la agenda politica y diplomatica no ha sido analizada desde el punto de vista de la investigacion en direccion de empresas. Una “filial trampolin” sera una filial que convierte las ventajas de localizacion del “pais trampolin” en una autentica ventaja especifica de la filial. Para ello, debe desarrollar conocimiento experimental relevante (tacito y especifico), especializado, y lo que es mas importante, valorado por la matriz y el resto de las filiales. Ello le permitira reivindicar cierta disposicio…

Towards and Ethical Theory of Stakeholders Identification and Salience: Responsibility, Intentionality and Prevision, Power and Dependency, Urgency a…

2014

Abordamos en este trabajo un planteamiento critico sobre la teoria de identificacion y relevancia de los stakeholders. Argumentamos que las teorias descriptivas e instrumentales de los grupos de interes han favorecido que los directivos de empresas centren su atencion en los resultados de sus actuaciones y no en la prevencion de las consecuencias intencionadas o no. Proponemos que los criterios de legitimidad, poder y urgencia, deben ser acompanados por una identificacion de los grupos de afectados legitimos pero dependientes dando especial relevancia a los grupos mas vulnerables ante las decisiones tomadas en la empresa.

Positioning Political Brand Through the Web

2014

El hecho de que un partido politico sea percibido como innovador gracias al apoyo de las nuevas tecnologias aumenta su atractivo. Esta innovacion se puede concretar en la prestacion de servicios electronicos diferenciados y en la mejora del atractivo visual del partido y sus candidatos gracias a la funcionalidad de su Web. En este trabajo realizamos un estudio para determinar en que medida los aspectos innovadores de la Web de un partido politico aumentaran: (i) la calidad percibida, (ii) la confianza hacia el servicio del sitio Web, (iii) la lealtad hacia la pagina Web y (iv) la predisposicion a recomendarla (boca-oreja). Para ello entrevistamos a un total de 217 usuarios que valoraron su …

Extending the spectral decomposition of Granger causality to include instantaneous influences: application to the control mechanisms of heart rate va…

2021

Assessing Granger causality (GC) intended as the influence, in terms of reduction of variance of surprise, that a driver variable exerts on a given target, requires a suitable treatment of ‘instantaneous’ effects, i.e. influences due to interactions whose time scale is much faster than the time resolution of the measurements, due to unobserved confounders or insufficient sampling rate that cannot be increased because the mechanism of generation of the variable is inherently slow (e.g. the heartbeat). We exploit a recently proposed framework for the estimation of causal influences in the spectral domain and include instantaneous interactions in the modelling, thus obtaining (i) a novel index…

The Role of Assumptions in Ohlson Model Performance: Lessons for Improving Equity-Value Modeling

2021

In this paper, we test whether the short-run econometric conditions for the basic assumptions of the Ohlson valuation model hold, and then we relate these results with the fulfillment of the short-run econometric conditions for this model to be effective. Better future modeling motivated us to analyze to what extent the assumptions involved in this seminal model are not good enough approximations to solve the firm valuation problem, causing poor model performance. The model is based on the well-known dividend discount model and the residual income valuation model, and it adds a linear information model, which is a time series model by nature. Therefore, we adopt the time series approach. In…

Inventory record inaccuracy in supply chains: the role of workers' behavior

2014

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the effect of inventory record inaccuracy due to behavioral aspects of workers on the order and inventory variance amplification. Design/methodology/approach – The authors adopt a continuous-time analytical approach to describe the effect of inbound throughput on the inventory and order variance amplification due to the workload pressure and arousal of workers. The model is numerically solved through simulation and results are analyzed with statistical general linear model. Findings – Inventory management policies that usually dampen variance amplification are not effective when inaccuracy is generated due to workers’ behavioral aspects. Sp…

Basis for a general theory of organizations

2011

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the conceptual basis shared by different theories, regardless of the unit of analysis they specifically adopt. The different ontological choice (or different segment of reality studied by each theory) does not hinder conceptual common ground for a good number of organisational theories.Design/methodology/approach – The paper highlights the importance of hierarchical, social and institutional relations and of the technological, cognitive, social and institutional contents. It looks at the common conceptual contents of the two main theories examined, and those of a wide set of other theories addressed here. Both of the theories examined are i…
