The research focuses on the development of Information Technology (IT) Governance in educational institutions, with emphasis on the efficient management of technological resources and processes. The methodology consisted of a bibliographic review of the IEC/ISO 38500 and ITIL V3 standards. It includes a stage of diagnosis of the governance and applicability of the principles and tasks of the IEC/ISO 38500 standard, a second stage of review of the ITIL phases, a third stage of implementation of processes and practices suggested by the standard and the model, and finally continuous improvement. Processes with very low weighting were identified as requiring improvement focus. An example of this is the service operation process in the ITIL process review section, which is essential for the organization to execute and deliver services effectively and efficiently. In the first assessment, this process obtained a GAP analysis of 0.8. After applying the proposed solutions and re-evaluating it, a significant improvement in the process was observed, reaching a 2.5 in the GAP analysis. By evaluating the governance of the IT management, through the ISO/IEC 38500 standard, it was possible to align the IT department's strategy with the institutional strategy; likewise, by evaluating all the ITIL phases, it was possible to establish the critical points in the services provided by the IT department, which served as a starting point for the continuous improvement process.

Societies since its inception have been concerned with understanding and comprehending certain phenomena, be they physical, social or biological, with which the reasoning of the human being who is concerned with giving meaning to all these manifestations intervenes. The concern is generated by admitting an act or fact as something valid that is accepted by all peers, so that it has a category of admissibility and although its presence is discussed, it is at least considered by a majority. Thus begins the existence of the truth that has varied meanings depending on its semantic origin, but that all of them begin by unraveling the essence of an object or an externalization, but at the same time they are conditions of social coexistence and even a way of reaching the freedom. Of course, the philosophical ideal is precisely that there is a correspondence between the human conception and the object that is analyzed; but this effort is not easy, on the contrary, it will depend even on the subjective criteria of each individual.

The food industry and the aquaculture sector are experiencing changes and opportunities in the context of technological innovation. Ecuador, as a major shrimp producer, also faces challenges, where digital transformation has driven a global revolution, including the promotion and sale of products through internet channels. This work was carried out in order to investigate the use of social networks in the marketing of shrimp beadings, through a mixed, exploratory and basic analysis. The methodology was developed in three phases: first, a literature and documentary review was made about the shrimp industry and the use of online platforms; in the second phase, data were collected on Facebook strategies used by Ecuadorian companies in this sector, using the digital tool Sociality.io, to develop a descriptive analysis with the main results; Finally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with experts in the field, where points of view and opinions were collected that provided additional information, coding the material obtained through a cognitive exercise and the support of the specialized software Atlas.ti-23. It was concluded that network strategies must be creative in their content, adapting to the specific needs of the target audience; in this way you can fully leverage the strengths of platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp mainly, in order to achieve greater impact and commercial success.

The article presents as a research purpose the Contextualize the role of Public-Private Partnerships in local governance strategies; This purpose is accompanied by two specific guidelines: 1.- Identify the principles of local governance, and 2.- Reflect on the role of Public-Private Partnerships in local governance strategies. The research was developed within the province of Manabí (Ecuador), in which an approach was made with the local governments of the same province, whose intention has been to know their vision on public-private partnerships, obtaining through direct observation and documentary review valuable information for subsequent triangulation of the data. The research design starts from a qualitative perspective, it is based on a phenomenological-descriptive approach, being in turn interpretive, allowing the latter to characterize the thematic components from a triangular representation (theories, positions of interviewees and criteria of the researchers), thereby giving a process of constant comparison (theoretical saturation). On the other hand, the phenomenological-hermeneutic method was used with the intention of a better compression process of the object of study. The instrument to collect the data has been the semi-structured interview applied to academic experts and researchers on the topic of governance of public-private partnerships, with an analysis strategy based on Grounded Theory (Strauss and Corbin, 2012); The following practice is obtained as the main emerging finding (central category): Public-private partnership from local governance. 

The article presents as a research purpose to identify the main theories on institutional governance in local public management based on participatory budgeting; being accompanied by two strategic guidelines: 1.- Unveil the theoretical proposals on institutional governance, and 2.- Reflect on local public management model based on participatory budgeting. The research was developed within the province of Manabí (Ecuador), in which an approach was made to the Decentralized Provincial Government of the same province with the intention of knowing their impressions on the participatory budget, obtaining through direct observation and documentary review valuable information for subsequent triangulation of the data. The research design starts from a qualitative perspective, it is based on a phenomenological-interpretative approach, being in turn descriptive-interpretive, allowing the latter to characterize the thematic components from a triangular representation (theories, positions of interviewees and criteria of the researchers), thereby giving a process of constant comparison (theoretical saturation). On the other hand, the phenomenological-hermeneutic method was used with the intention of a better compression process of the object of study. The instrument to collect the data has been the semi-structured interview applied to academic experts and researchers on the topic of governance and participatory budgeting, with an analysis strategy based on Grounded Theory (Strauss and Corbin, 2012); The following practice is obtained as the main emerging finding (central category): Participatory budgeting based on principles of institutional governance ...
