In the current context in which companies operate competitiveness is of paramount importance to be efficient and get results. Family businesses grow. There comes a time that it is difficult for the family to occupy key positions and have all the requirements and skills required to meet the challenges it faces. We surveyed 75 companies in the commercial sector of the Mexicali Valley. The sample includes 46 family businesses (EF) and 29 non-family enterprises (ENF). The objective was to acquire a comparative analysis of the level of competitiveness of the EF and the ENF through a map of competitiveness. This map reveals that the EF have a level of 65 per cent competitiveness and the ENF a 76 per cent of competitiveness respectively. We analyzed the EF with regard to succession. The results reveal that 26% of EF have a succession plan in writing. We encourage EF’s to have a strategic plan, which employees should be familiar, to get the expected results and survive in today's markets Classification-JEL: M0, R1 Keywords: Competitiveness, Family Businesses, Non-Family Enterprises, Succession Journal:Revista Global de Negocios Pages: 13-24 Volume: 5 Issue: 5 Year: 2017 File-URL: http://www.theibfr2.com/RePEc/ibf/rgnego/rgn-v5n5-2017/RGN-V5N5-2017-2.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:ibf:rgnego:v:5:y:2017:i:5:p:13-24 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Jessica Garizurieta Bernabe Author-Name: Alexia Suyevith Cordoba Romero Title: IMPACT OF A PROGRAM THAT ENCOURAGES TEACHING PERFORMANCE IN THE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DEGREE OF THE FACULTY OF ACCOUNTING AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE UNIVERSITY “UNIVERSIDAD VERACRUZANA”, XALAPA REGION, IMPACTO DE PROGRAMAS DE ESTIMULO AL DESEMPENO A DOCENTES: EVIDENCIAS DE UNA INSTITUCION DE EDUCACION SUPERIOR EN VERACRUZ MEXICO Abstract: Higher Education policy that the Mexican government implemented toward public universities in the past three decades have included different incentive programs for full-time teachers and researchers.

Poor agricultural management practices and water resources, excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides, and uncontrolled dumping of harmful wastes, give rise to erosion and desertification of soil. Some 70% of soils have problems of degradation in different levels, from mild to extreme. Of the remaining soil, some 18% are desert and unproductive land, and only 12% maintain productive activities without apparent degradation. As a contribution to recovery, enrichment and preservation of agricultural land, the business of production and marketing of organic fertilizer is proposed. The study consisted of seven stages, starting with market research, a technical study, the legal aspect, organizational and one fundamental to this project, economic studies and financial economic evaluation. The results show that the solid organic fertilizer "Bocashi" is likely to be produced and marketed. It is attributed to the ability to recover, enrich and preserve agricultural land features. Profitability indicators reveal a NPV of $162,504.80 pesos, IRR 19% and R B / C yields 1.60, ensuring the economic viability of the project. Implementation requires a total investment of $247,219.35 pesos Classification-JEL: M0, M1, M2, Q1, Q2 Keywords: Production, Marketing, Business, Organic Fertilizers Journal:Revista Global de Negocios Pages: 37-50 Volume: 5 Issue: 5 Year: 2017 File-URL: http://www.theibfr2.com/RePEc/ibf/rgnego/rgn-v5n5-2017/RGN-V5N5-2017-4.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:ibf:rgnego:v:5:y:2017:i:5:p:37-50 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Mayra Yazmin Ortiz Ozuna Title: STRATEGIC ALLIANCES FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES OF THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IN CMIC OF MONCLOVA COAHUILA, ALIANZAS ESTRATEGICAS EN LAS PEQUENAS Y MEDIANAS EMPRESAS DEL SECTOR DE LA INDUSTRIA DE LA CONSTRUCCION DE LA VIVIENDA AFILIADAS A LA CAMARA MEXICANA DE LA INDUSTRIA DE LA CONSTRUCCION CON SEDE EN MONCLOVA COAHUILA Abstract: Small and medium companies (SMEs) in the construction industry are of vital importance to the social and economic development of a country.

MEXICO, MEDICION DEL POTENCIAL TURISTICO DE AVENTURA EN GUERRERO NEGRO B.C.S. MEXICO Abstract: This paper examines tourism in the northern area of Baja California Sur Mexico. In spite of having one of the most relevant alternative tourism activities, it lacks diversification of tourist offerings. We apply a methodology to determine adventure tourism activities that can be developed in Guerrero Negro. The methodology is specific to the adventure tourism in the micro region of Guerrero Negro. Readers should use caution in applying the results here to other regions.

EL CASO DE ESTUDIO: LA HACIENDA LA CHONITA EN CUNDUACAN, TABASCO, MEXICO Abstract: The concept of organizational climate is used to determine internal employment relationships. In this way, people can become involved with organizational objectives. Causes for productivity involve all human elements and therefore their behavior, which leads to study its qualities, condition and effect. It is important to heed these elements, offering a comfortable atmosphere to ensure the lasting success in the business environment. This research analyzes the organizational structure of the Hacienda la Chonita, from Cunduacán, Tabasco, Mexico. The hypothesis is that the organizational climate of Hacienda la Chonita is irrelevant, given the relations in the workplace, dealing precisely among the staff with the company and vice versa. However, if it creates a positive organizational climate, there will be greater organizational commitment Classification-JEL: M12 Keywords: Organizational Climate, Working Performance, Motivation, Organizations, Working Settings, Perception Journal:Revista Global de Negocios Pages: 75-86 Volume: 5 Issue: 5 Year: 2017 File-URL: http://www.theibfr2.com/RePEc/ibf/rgnego/rgn-v5n5-2017/RGN-V5N5-2017-7.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:ibf:rgnego:v:5:y:2017:i:5:p:75-86 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Maria del Carmen Dominguez Rios Author-Name: Rufina Georgina Hernandez Contreras Author-Name: Rosa Maria Medina Hernandez Title: INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY IN THE MEXICO PAPER INDUSTRY, INNOVACION Y SUSTENTABILIDAD DE LA INDUSTRIA DE PAPEL EN MEXICO Abstract: The objective of this research is to analyze the paper industry in Mexico.

The goal is social transformation seeking to achieve sustainable development, beyond economic growth. The objective of this work is to analyze the perception and evaluation participation of groups of interest. We examine internal, and external social participation as the management of the University Social responsibility in the Autonomous University of Coahuila. The methodology is based on the theoretical and methodological bases developed by F. Valley. This methodology is applied to Latin American universities, with diagnosis and collective reflection. Data obtained were processed with descriptive statistical techniques. The results show the perceptions of teachers and students. Results reveal that integration of education with social projection is the most recognized aspect. The promotion of social networks for the development and participation active in local and national agenda of development is the least advantaged.
