Considering commercial operations globalization, world-class companies anchored in developing countries require the inclusion of new theories and practices that allow them, through diagnostic techniques, to identify systems flaws to increase their local and regional competitiveness. In this meaning, it is proposed as a first instance, a qualitative study, with a non-probabilistic sample of case type, achieving a phenomenon understanding, to propose future quantitative research on this sector. The companies analyzed are called world-class production of consumer products, with local and regional presence. Within main results, it is emphasized that both theories show an incidence at the macro level in the competitiveness of the organizations (Laws, regulations and distribution). Another aspect is the need of real-time knowledge about operations, to make necessary correctives derived from the results of Restriction Theory and Systemic Approach (Business Intelligence Application (BI)).

Since 1990-2012, basic primary education has been a priority in Honduras’ education policy, with similar importance in the Millennium Development Goals. The objective of this study is to identify and quantify the determinants of school enrollment, grade promotion, and graduation rates in primary school, and to reach an understanding of the role of various factors in the timely completion of primary education by Honduras’ youth. This work aims primarily to quantify the relationship between education outcomes and socio-economic and policy variables to inform the MAMS general equilibrium model of Honduras, but it also serves to identify the policies that are most likely to improve outcomes and reach development objectives. We find that socio-economic and policy variables vary in their impact in education outcomes. We conclude that there are significant opportunities for policy makers to increase the impact of policies on education outcomes, particularly the effectiveness of spending on timely education achievement, but also though improvements in socio-economic conditions. A key lesson of this study is that it provides a rigorous example of how to analyze the effect of policy on outcomes, requiring detailed data and proper statistical technique to provide better information when making policy decisions.

En esta investigación se analizó los factores socioeconómicos que más afectan al desarrollo y comportamiento de la población joven en Honduras, de las edades comprendidas dentro 12 a 30 años. Además, se tiene referencia de otros estudios realizados en el tema de grupos étnicos, educación, analfabetismo, discriminación social, necesidades básicas insatisfechas, oportunidades de empleo y otros más.También se logrará obtener una mejor compresión a través de las teorías y las estadísticas realizadas por las encuestas de hogares de cómo estos factores o variables socioeconómicos impiden que la población joven en Honduras se forme de una manera íntegra y profesional en nuestra sociedad, lo que conlleva a que países como Honduras no puedan llegar a tener un desarrollo económico aceptable, y los conflictos políticos, sociales y económicos que estos pueden acarrear.Siendo estos factores socioeconómicos perjudiciales a la imagen que tiene un país ante el resto del mundo, teniendo en cuenta que se anhela que la población obtenga una mejor condición de vida, salud, alimentación, educación, vestuario, etc., por lo tanto, esta investigación utiliza las variables más importantes que influyen en el comportamiento y desarrollo de los jóvenes en la sociedad hondureña y que se toma como referencia estadísticas de dos fechas en el tiempo, que son el año 2001 y 2013.

The factories have to implement operations programs, in order not only to improve competitiveness, but also to maintain a continuous improvement that allows them to face the challenges due to the constant changes in the industrial context. Among such programs, technology management (GT) and manufacturing strategy (EM) could be an important factor in improving competitiveness. The purpose of this study is to verify empirically the relationship between both programs in the machinery and electronics industries, taking into account some contextual variables. To evaluate the established hypotheses, we use the database of the international project of High Performance Manufacturing (HPM) and hierarchical regression analysis. The findings show that for both sectors the incorporation of GT improved competitiveness. However, only one of the contextual variables, productive capacity of the factory, has a consistent relationship with competitiveness in the electronics sector.

Conditional monetary transfers in Honduras are a strategy to reach the most deferred households and with greater limitations of survival, a model to alleviate the effect of economic structural measures and that limited the access to the labor market of many Hondurans since the 1990´s; which had a negative effect on the improvement of poverty levels. In this analysis, a series of socio-economic variables are shown which define in a “Bono 10 Thousand program”, in order to characterize it and from which to establish the impact it has had on the Hondurans who were benefited by the program.

The research follows the objective to analyze the contribution of the informal sector of the economy in the country. The results show than at gender level there is more participation of the women in activities in comparation with the men 57% and 43% respectively. The main conclusions of this research is than must be more technical support of the goverments sector or the non-government organizations responsible of contributing with entrpreneurship actions for persons dedicated to economical activities due to than this people work without administrative procedures financials, technical. Operational inefficient, also to give since the sectors than compete support it is up to the aplications of publics political for sector and be a bulwark for the economy of the country.

The following research has as main objective to evaluate the diversification of exports as a key variable of economic growth, as well as assessing whether a concentration of exports of Honduran products has a negative effect on the growth of exports, the document is divided into six sections; the first one presents an overview of the topics addressed in the investigation, the second section contains the state of the art and empirical background that provide knowledge to address the issue, the number Section three presents the methodology for the development of research, section four presents the results found in the research development, and the number five section some conclusions and recommendations.

The big world corporations and the transnationals have always tried to subdue the States and governments, through the power of money and in this way also have control over the strategic resources of the countries of the periphery, mainly of Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. East. These same transnationals are those that contribute and finance campaigns of some political parties, in order to use the media to guide the vote of citizens in the different countries in order to position the candidate of their preference, who do not always have the better government programs.

It is an overview of the directions of higher education in Honduras, specifically the trends and changes that have occurred in the last twenty years, when there are many transformations, among them the participation of the private sector, the feminization of enrollment and of graduates, the preferences of certain areas of study that the applicants have for specific careers, considering these as some of the "courses of higher education" that respond to internal and external factors, among them, demographic changes, the greater Access for young people to tertiary education, especially for women, trends in the employability of the labor market and, logically, globalization.
