For this, a questionnaire was applied to 630 college students, of which 91% were interested in participating in an exchange but only 9% had postulated. Seven factors that explain the desire to study abroad were found: new experiences, expanding the social network, influence of others, work reasons, self-realization, tourism and academic reasons. When choosing a destination eight factors were found to be important: Access and academic offerings, quality of life, costs, connectivity of the city, tourism, closeness and contacts, social motivations, and language. Finally, three cluster were identified: Conservatives, more interested in academic reasons; Travelers, open to meeting new realities, expand their social network and have new experiences; and Explorers motivated by tourism and travel at the place of destination. Future studies should focus on finding a causal model among the factors that motivate the exchange of university students Classification-JEL: I20, I25 Keywords: Student, Mobility, Motivation Journal:Revista Global de Negocios Pages: 1-10 Volume: 4 Issue: 4 Year: 2016 File-URL: http://www.theibfr2.com/RePEc/ibf/rgnego/rgn-v4n4-2016/RGN-V4N4-2016-1.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:ibf:rgnego:v:4:y:2016:i:4:p:1-10 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Cecilia Garcia Munoz Aparicio Author-Name: Deneb Eli Magana Medina Author-Name: Maria del Carmen Ancona Alcocer Author-Name: Candelaria Guzman Fernandez Author-Name: Maria del Carmen Navarrete Torres Title: ACADEMIC BODIES AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN UNIVERSIDAD JUAREZ AUTONOMA DE TABASCO, LOS CUERPOS ACADEMICOS Y SU RELACION CON LA GESTION DEL CONOCIMIENTO EN LA UNIVERSIDAD JUAREZ AUTONOMA DE TABASCO Abstract: Knowledge management is currently a need in all organizations that interact in highly competitive environments. Turning knowledge into a productive resource is what distinguishes one organization from another. In this context academic bodies of the Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco will be used to propel transfer and knowledge management. Academic Bodies have been changing gradually towards a position in the local, state and national scope, because they are generators of knowledge and have assumed an important role as indicators in public universities. The quality of education in academic bodies is seen as a well-trained teacher; developing lines of knowledge which have links with the problems of the country, state or municipality. The objective of this research is to analyze performance of the academic staff in the period 2004-2014 and its relation to knowledge management.

While countries like Singapore and South Korea have established their industries rapidly, Mexico still does not have specific programs for the biotechnology development. For over two decades, this country has tried to exploit everything that the biotechnology industry has to offer. However, the results have not been very impressive. Therefore, Mexico requires changes in terms of the development mechanism of the biotechnology industry. One of the key pillars of changes required in Mexico is the business model used by the industry. Based on the above, the target of this work was to develop a base business model for the biotechnology companies. To make this proposal, a mixed method was applied to conduct the research and the variables of canvas methodology, were used to analyze the companies that were selected. The results showed that successful biotech companies have certain patterns in their business models. Also, they allowed us to understand how companies interact with their environment and carry out a proposal of business model most likely to have a future development Classification-JEL: M10, L65 Keywords: Business Model, Biotechnology Industry, Innovation, Baja California Journal:Revista Global de Negocios Pages: 29-51 Volume: 4 Issue: 4 Year: 2016 File-URL: http://www.theibfr2.com/RePEc/ibf/rgnego/rgn-v4n4-2016/RGN-V4N4-2016-3.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:ibf:rgnego:v:4:y:2016:i:4:p:29-51 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Rafaela Martinez Mendez Author-Name: Maria Antonieta Monserrat Vera Munoz Author-Name: Jose Gerardo Serafin Vera Munoz Author-Name: Juan Gonzalez Roman Title: BUSINESS ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT ON MICRO AND SMALL ENTERPRISES PROCESSING FOOD LOCATED IN PUEBLA, MEXICO, GESTION AMBIENTAL EMPRESARIAL EN LAS MICRO Y PEQUENAS EMPRESAS PROCESADORAS DE ALIMENTOS UBICADAS EN PUEBLA, MEXICO Abstract: The objective of this research is to identify and analyze the factors that may be considered environmental management in micro and small food processing companies located in the municipality of Puebla.
