The objective is to identify the contribution of this activity in factors which contribute to competitiveness global index. The entrepreneurial activity in Ecuador registers, for this period, the highest levels of the entire Region. Notwithstanding this fact, entrepreneurships are motivated by necessity, with slight changes towards opportunity. The competitiveness index in Ecuador has progressed rapidly. Nevertheless, it remains an economy based on efficiency, not innovation. The results show that behavior of entrepreneurial activity in Ecuador can be explained by the observed progress in the levels of competitiveness. The correlation is direct and significant. However, this behavior is usually characteristic in uncompetitive economies. This suggests the necessity to formulate policies and strategies that, from a holistic perspective, lead to a sustained improvement of innovation factors that impact competitiveness Classification-JEL: L2, L26, M1, M13, O32 Keywords: Entrepreneurship, Competitiveness, Innovation Journal:Revista Global de Negocios Pages: 29-44 Volume: 6 Issue: 1 Year: 2018 File-URL: http://www.theibfr2.com/RePEc/ibf/rgnego/rgn-v6n1-2018/RGN-V6N1-2018-3.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:ibf:rgnego:v:6:y:2018:i:1:p:29-44 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Susana Margarita Ibars Hernandez Author-Name: Elsa Elena Corona Mayoral Author-Name: Perfecto Gabriel Trujillo Castro Author-Name: Adalberto Torreblanca Zorrilla Author-Name: Blanca Esthela Zazueta Villavicencio Title: ENTREPRENEUR´S INTRINSIC MOTIVATION IN THE BUSINESS INCUBATION PROCESS, MOTIVACION INTERNA DE LOS EMPRENDEDORES EN EL PROCESO DE INCUBACION EMPRESARIAL Abstract: This article investigates whether the motivation of perceived internal causal origin impacts performance in the process of business incubation of entrepreneurs at the Technological Institute of Veracruz (ITV). The population is entrepreneurs who have participated in the process of incubation of businesses, for the period 2006-2015. Data collection was done through a questionnaire whose questions were created to identify how the variable motivation (perceived internal causal origin) is represented in two categories: internal motivation (passion) and external motivation of internal perceived cause (commitment). The results show a low correlation between motivation for internal incubation and hatching of the entrepreneurs to stay in the process of incubation in the phases of pre, and moderate post incubation phases. In addition, entrepreneurs who ended the incubation process tended to have a greater passion for their project. We conclude that entrepreneurs do not show a representative internal motivation towards the incubation process. They only comply with it. This study suggests expediting the process of incubation in the ITV Classification-JEL: J23, L26, M130, M150 Keywords: SMEs, Entrepreneur, Entrepreneurship, Incubator, Motivation Journal:Revista Global de Negocios Pages: 45-54 Volume: 6 Issue: 1 Year: 2018 File-URL: http://www.theibfr2.com/RePEc/ibf/rgnego/rgn-v6n1-2018/RGN-V6N1-2018-4.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:ibf:rgnego:v:6:y:2018:i:1:p:45-54 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Jose de Jesus Moreno Neri Author-Name: Maria del Mar Obregon Angulo Author-Name: Santiago Alejandro Arellano Zepeda Title: VALUATION OF RISKS PROCESSES FOR MARINE RANCHES OF FATTENING BLUEFIN TUNA: EVIDENCE FROM BAJA CALIFORNIA, PROCESO DE VALORACION DE RIESGOS PARA RANCHOS MARINOS DE ENGORDA DE ATUN ALETA AZUL: EVIDENCIA DE BAJA CALIFORNIA Abstract: The purposes of this research is to identify and analyze relevant risks to accomplish the marine farm's goals concerned with blue fin tuna fatting located in the State of Baja California, it also determines the way in which such risks should be handled.

We use a Scientific Method, based on a mixed quantitative methodology and qualitative information, that allows us to demonstrate the main benefits of implementing the electronic money system on private companies within the country. We examine statistics of behavior and implementation of this system. Implementation in the economy allows us to determent the importance of using electronic money system in recent times. Implementation of the Electronic Money System provides a new payment tool to access multiple benefits for a future economic environment. The benefits include a tax incentive offered to legal and naturalized citizens by the Ecuadorian Government. Results show that companies that use the electronic money have more tax benefits that allow them to be more competitive Classification-JEL: A1, C1, G38, H25 Keywords: Electronic Money, Tax, Payment System, Ecuadorian Central Bank Journal:Revista Global de Negocios Pages: 77-92 Volume: 6 Issue: 1 Year: 2018 File-URL: http://www.theibfr2.com/RePEc/ibf/rgnego/rgn-v6n1-2018/RGN-V6N1-2018-7.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:ibf:rgnego:v:6:y:2018:i:1:p:77-92 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Abraham Sanchez Gil Author-Name: Omar Ernesto Teran Varela Title: CRIPTOMONEDAS, AS A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY FOR MICROENTERPRISE OF THE TOURISM SECTOR IN THE SOUTH EAST ZONE OF THE STATE OF MEXICO, CRIPTOMONEDAS, COMO OPORTUNIDAD DE NEGOCIO DE MICROEMPRESAS DEL SECTOR TURISTICO EN LA ZONA SUR ORIENTE DEL ESTADO DE MEXICO Abstract: According to the globalization processes in the financial sector, great changes are being experienced as a result of the social changes of the consumer. We are witnessing a major challenge from the technological point of view. Advancement exists on financial and economic bases at the global level. We see evidence of changing currencies. These currencies are produced, by cryptones. The emergence of new values and needs, specifically in the development of new technologies, gives a digital dimension to economic supports and channels. In this context, cryptomonedas have expanded the interactive possibilities of financial means. They add to digital era trend through the use of a digital currency. The currency uses an internet-based exchange, which is the equivalent of the physical currency except that it allows transactions to be instantaneous and transfers are borderless. These coins can be used to buy goods and services, but could also be restricted to certain communities such as online games, social networks, or pyramid schemes. Digital coins such as Bitcoin are known as "decentralized digital coins" without central control over the money supply. For this reason, the cryptononeda is considered a business opportunity for microenterprises in the secondary sector in the south east of the state of Mexico. It facilitates the purchase and sale of services that can be offered in various sectors. Therefore, the objective of this research is to propose a business opportunity to criptomonedas. We suggest the increase of markets and the positioning of microenterprises in the tourism sector of the south-eastern zone of the state of Mexico. The main purpose of this research is to reach prevailing situations through the use of credit risk as a business opportunity Classification-JEL: D20, D24, D29, E21, E22, E42, E52, E59, G12, G19, G28 Keywords: Criptomonedas, Financial Organizations, Touristic Sector Journal:Revista Global de Negocios Pages: 93-104 Volume: 6 Issue: 1 Year: 2018 File-URL: http://www.theibfr2.com/RePEc/ibf/rgnego/rgn-v6n1-2018/RGN-V6N1-2018-8.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:ibf:rgnego:v:6:y:2018:i:1:p:93-104
