La era de la transformación digital de las organizaciones y su impacto en la competitividad
En un esfuerzo desarrollado por distintos autores y grupos de investigación para explorar diversos aspectos asociados al nuevo contexto que plantean la era digital, el termino cuarta revolución industrial o revolución 4.0 ha empezado a ser utilizado con frecuencia para denominar un proceso que tal como menciona Klaus Schwab (2016) se diferencia de la tercera revolución industrial o revolución digital iniciada en los años 80 del siglo XX, por tres elementos: velocidad (crecimiento exponencial), amplitud y profundidad (no solo está cambiando el qué y el cómo, sino también el quiénes) y el impacto en los sistemas (transformación en los sistemas productivos, sociales, empresariales)....
El turismo sostenible en Colombia: retos y oportunidades
Este libro presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre el rol que puede jugar el turismo en materia de reducción de la pobreza, promoviendo al mismo tiempo el desarrollo sostenible, con énfasis en el caso colombiano. El crecimiento del turismo implica una generación cada vez más importante de ingresos, sin embargo lo anterior no significa que estos ingresos adicionales tengan la capacidad de reducir la pobreza y mejorar las condiciones de vida de la población receptora. En este sentido, la capacidad del turismo para reducir la pobreza no será la misma, dependiendo de cuándo, dónde y cómo esta actividad se desarrolle, pues no se trata solo de generar recursos mediante la actividad turística y ejecutar mecanismos y condiciones para que los ingresos tengan un impacto sobre la reducción de la pobreza. También es necesario desarrollar la actividad turística sin dejar de lado la preservación del medioambiente y los recursos patrimoniales materiales e inmateriales disponibles en el territorio.
Economía, Empresa y Justicia. Nuevos retos para el futuro
El futuro de esta tercera década del siglo XXI y las siguientes se presenta con notable claridad en cuanto al avance imparable de las Finanzas sostenibles, con una vuelta a los orígenes éticos de la Economía y las Finanzas, así como también las Finanzas del comportamiento trufadas de Psicología, Sociología e Historia. También, por la necesidad de complementos interdisciplinares entre Economía, Derecho y Finanzas de Empresa así como al mismo tiempo, en principio paradójicamente, la necesidad de una mayor especialización en estas disciplinas, tanto académica como profesionalmente, dada su autonomía en cuanto a objeto, objetivos, metodología e historia. El lector tiene en sus manos un excelente compendio de lo más actual, de vanguardia y futuro relacionado con “Economía, Empresa y Justicia. Nuevos retos para el futuro” que, como mínimo, le obligará a algo que en amplios sectores de la sociedad se está perdiendo, que es reflexionar y pensar pausadamente con fundamento.
