Presentamos los conceptos centrales de la gestión de proyectos, una actividad orientada a aumentar la probabilidad de obtener resultados organizacionales favorables con la aplicación de conocimientos, habilidades, herramientas y técnicas selectas de la administración, dentro de un marco temporal específico. Describimos, como elemento motivador, el contraste entre un proyecto antiguo, la Muralla China, con un proyecto moderno, la represa de Tres Gargantas. Una adecuada gestión de proyectos es un componente fundamental para sostener el crecimiento de una firma.

Populism and Latin America, especially Argentina, are very good friends. Since the Great Depression, a shock from which the country has been unable to recover, Argentina is a classic example of Populism. Her economic decline for the last eighty years attests in this sense. As Populism is a hybrid of interventionist policies that go away and come again according to circumstances, in the long run, this non-system is possibly more harmful than Socialism. Public opinion becomes too baffled to find Populism guilty of economic failure.

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo investigar las diferentes alternativas que se ofrecen en el mercado de los denominados “fideicomisos inmobiliarios”1 para desarrollar un estudio detallado que permita identificar y evaluar como se está aplicando, y determinar el impacto que tuvo el instrumento en relación al boom de la actividad durante los últimos años.

The purpose of this review is to evaluate the status of scholarly research on Japanese management as it is applied outside Japan. The first part of the review deals with the concept of Japanese management. The second part aims at understanding how Japanese management is applied in foreign countries, both at subsidiaries of Japanese corporations and in non-Japanese firms; in particular, the issue of transferability of concepts and techniques is considered in detail. Primarily EBSCO databases were used, but other sources were consulted as well.

Este artículo trata de indagar el proceso de incorporación política de las mujeres durante el primer gobierno peronista. Dos hechos se revelan como significativos: el primero fue la aprobación de la ley de sufragio femenino en 1947, con la consecuente oportunidad de que las mujeres votaran y fuesen votadas; y el segundo, la creación del Partido Peronista Femenino (PPF), que buscó su incorporación masiva en la política. El Partido Peronista Femenino se fundó el 29 de julio de 1949 en el marco de la primera Asamblea Organizativa del Partido Peronista.

This paper puts forward an alternative approach to multiplicative models and their assessment of returns out of financial assets. Firstly, it lays down an operative definition but also sets forth a commutative framework of mappings to provide foundations to such a definition. Next, the total return is split down into its linear and non-linear building blocks. Afterwards, a compatibility lemma draws a distinction between what should be meant by linear approximation and linear equivalence to the multiplicative model.

La política fiscal es el resultado de un proceso de decisión colectivo. Este proceso está más institucionalizado en las democracias constitucionales donde es clave la competencia electoral entre partidos para definir qué políticas se van a llevar a cabo.

We analyze the relationship between fiscal deficit, macroeconomic uncertainty and growth for the period 1915-2006, and conclude that the deficit, possibly through the volatility in relative prices it generates, is a significant restriction on per-capita income growth in Argentina.

Objetivist models are based on the deterministic hypothesis that postulates the existence of probability, which is cognoscible only in an asymptotic manner. On the other hand, subjectivist models consider the aleatoristic hypothesis according to which there is no truth about probability. However, both hypotheses may only be compared through stochastic models, which are not strictly falsifiable.
