We worked police officers who are shooting instructors in the polygon who are exposed daily to the noise produced by the detonations of ammunition during practices. The integrating sound level was used to measure noise during work hours with the three types of weapons. To identify the presence of occupational fatigue, the Yoshitake questionnaire was applied. This instrument relates to physical, mental and mixed symptoms. The results show that all shooting instructors are exposed to noise levels of 147.2 dB, and 225 detonations per working day, which is higher than the permissible levels in Ecuadorian regulations. With regard to labor fatigue we found that 16.6% of the population, have between 6 and 9 symptoms of labor fatigue according to the applied questionnaire. Finally, the correlation analysis was performed, from which we identified no correlation between these two variables Classification-JEL: I23, M54 Keywords: Noise, Work Fatigue, Occupational Risk Factors Journal:Revista Global de Negocios Pages: 19-30 Volume: 6 Issue: 5 Year: 2018 File-URL: http://www.theibfr2.com/RePEc/ibf/rgnego/rgn-v6n5-2018/RGN-V6N5-2018-2.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:ibf:rgnego:v:6:y:2018:i:5:p:19-30 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: María Antonieta Monserrat Vera Muñoz Author-Name: Rafaela Martínez Méndez Author-Name: Gerardo Serafín Vera Muñoz Author-Name: Gerardo Serafín Vera Muñoz Title: PERCEPCIÓN DE LA RESPONSABILIDAD SOCIAL EMPRESARIAL DESDE LA ÓPTICA DEL GRUPO DE INTERÉS INTERNO (TRABAJADORES) Abstract: This paper analyzes the perception of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by workers who collaborate in a small restaurant company.

The goal is to provide tools, knowledge and advice for the sustained internationalization process of MSMEs. We do this through the application of a specific methodology, designed to support a reliable international provider management system. This system is based on three fundamental pillars: training, development of resources and capabilities and a key process management system for internationalization. The results show the effects in five small companies of different sectors, sizes and different degrees of progress in their internationalization process, located in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. The only common feature of these firms was the desire of their managers to seize opportunities in international markets. The results demonstrate the proposed methodology has a positive impact on the business development and the international performance of organizations. The results also demonstrate its flexible nature and suggest it as a strategy that can be replicated in other contexts Classification-JEL: F23, M16 Keywords: Internationalization, Resources, Capabilities, Quality Management System, MSMEs Journal:Revista Global de Negocios Pages: 57-72 Volume: 6 Issue: 5 Year: 2018 File-URL: http://www.theibfr2.com/RePEc/ibf/rgnego/rgn-v6n5-2018/RGN-V6N5-2018-5.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:ibf:rgnego:v:6:y:2018:i:5:p:57-75 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Maria de Jesus Ramirez Dominguez Author-Name: Blanca H.

For this reason they have been studied by many institutions. Companies desire people who can put knowledge into the productive process, and who participate in the analysis and solutions of problems that hinder quality and company´s productivity. Universities must identify the competences required for the employers of the Public Accounting professionals of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla. We applied an instrument that measured four variables: communicative competences, methodological, propositional and technical through a survey of 24 items. We obtain relevant information from 90 private sector employers. We conclude that graduates of this institution are developing correctly in the labor market. It is important to enforce transversal competences of the institution to strengthen the profile of its graduates Classification-JEL: M12, I20, I21, I23, C80 Keywords: Professional Competences, Public Accounting, Employers and Discharge Profile Journal:Revista Global de Negocios Pages: 73-83 Volume: 6 Issue: 5 Year: 2018 File-URL: http://www.theibfr2.com/RePEc/ibf/rgnego/rgn-v6n5-2018/RGN-V6N5-2018-6.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:ibf:rgnego:v:6:y:2018:i:5:p:73-83 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Baltazar Rodriguez Villanueva Author-Name: Orlando W.

The study is descriptive. Its design is non-experimental and transversal. An instrument with six dimensions was applied: Research and Development; Surveillance and Identification of Opportunities of the Environment; Alliances and Collaborations; Innovation Strategy; Innovation Management and Acquisition and Transfer of Innovation Capabilities. The sample includes 83 representative firms. WE find that companies are in a weakened state, resulting from a weak strategy and lack of innovation management. Micro and small companies show weakened stages. We conclude there exists a positive relationship between the development of R&D and firm size. The most depressed dimensions in small and medium enterprises are surveillance and identification of opportunities in the environment, strategy of innovation and innovation management. This situation points to the existence of problems in strategic implementation. Small and medium-sized companies need minimum organizational conditions to ensure measurable progress Classification-JEL: O31, O32, O33 Keywords: Innovation, Innovation Environments, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, Innovation Management Journal:Revista Global de Negocios Pages: 85-96 Volume: 6 Issue: 5 Year: 2018 File-URL: http://www.theibfr2.com/RePEc/ibf/rgnego/rgn-v6n5-2018/RGN-V6N5-2018-7.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:ibf:rgnego:v:6:y:2018:i:5:p:85-96 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Sagrario Guadalupe Zubia Flores Author-Name: Janette Brito Laredo Author-Name: Velia Veronica Ferreiro Martinez Title: CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF 5S IN A MICROENTERPRISE (MEJORA CONTINUA: IMPLEMENTACION DE LAS 5S EN UNA MICROEMPRESA) Abstract: Currently, organizations must seek to be competitive and experience better practices in their production processes. 5s is a philosophy of continuous improvement, which provides improvements in the use of resources and in the maintenance of order and cleanliness.
