It will be succesful to have a commercial relation between France and Colombia focus on the milk sector ?

Globalization has led to a drastic change on the international trade, this has caused that many countries such as France and Colombia find new business partners. This is the raison because I develop the investigation about How these countries can be integrated commercially in the dairy sector? Colombia and France had active trade relations for more than 8 years, but this has been declining for several factors. In the case of France, it has found that Germany is an excellent producer of raw milk, which can supply domestic demand and can export large quantities with a low price to European countries because of its proximity. For this reason, Colombia is a country that can not compete with Germany directly in raw milk, but I concluded that Colombia could become a major competitor with organic milk. This is the result of a research of the way they raise and feed the cows in the two countries, Colombia is generally on open country and Germany is on cow housing. In Colombia, the country found that Venezuela could offer many benefits in the processing of raw milk, and other processes that require high technology. But today Colombia has had several disputes with Venezuela and many Colombian companies are affected in this sector. Additionally, France is one of the largest producers and distributors of processed milk and its derivatives; it launches annually many manufactured products with high technology. At this point, Colombia can take out the best advantage because it can create an strategic alliance with French companies to bring most innovative and processed products such as cheese and yoghurts. The theoretical framework of this thesis consists on the analysis of competitiveness, because it is relevant to see if these two countries are competitive or if one has the comparative advantage over the other. The related authors are: Michael Porter, Adam Smith and David Ricardo. To complete the theoretical part, we found that France has a comparative advantage over Colombia in this sector thanks to its high technology, and Colombia is not currently competitive in the area of raw milk because the milk price is higher and the distance is a barrier, and it has no technology. But this research indicates that Colombia could become a competitive country selling organic milk.

Estudio de factibilidad Comercilizadora On-line en Colombia

Internet cambio la forma de hacer negocios, modifico la dinámica del comercio y abrió un gran número de nuevas posibilidades para las empresas con iniciativa de crecimiento. Es indudable que Internet influye cada vez más en las actividades de las personas y de las empresas.

En este contexto, surge este proyecto de investigación con el objetivo de analizar la factibilidad de comercializar productos por internet y contribuir al desarrollo del comercio electrónico. En primera instancia se realiza un proceso de contextualización en el que se describe el desarrollo del comercio electrónico. En seguida y a manera descriptiva, se expone la situación actual de la comercialización de productos por internet en términos económicos, legales, organizacionales y estadísticos. Finalmente, se evalúa y analiza cada uno de los aspectos del modelo de negocio de comercialización online con el objeto de cumplir con los estándares de calidad del comercio electrónico a nivel internacional para generar de tal manera, la satisfacción de los usuarios que realizan compras por internet y por ende incrementos en la frecuencia de compras, logrando abrir las puertas del comercio electrónico para aprovechar todo su potencial y habilitar nuevos canales para vender productos y servicios a usuarios cada vez más sofisticados. Finalmente se realiza un estudio financiero en el que se evalúa la viabilidad del negocio en el ámbito financiero , realizando unas proyecciones a 10 años del flujo de caja con sus respectivos indicadores financieros que me ayuda a medir que tan factible y beneficiosa es el modelo de negocio.

On the design of education conditional cash transfer programs and non education outcomes: the case of teenage pregnancy

We investigate the effect of education Conditional Cash Transfer programs (CCTs) on teenage pregnancy. Our main concern is with how the size and sign of the effect may depend on the design of the program. Using a simple model we show that an education CCT that conditions renewal on school performance reduces teenage pregnancy; the program can increase teenage pregnancy if it does not condition on school performance. Then, using an original data base, we estimate the causal impact on teenage pregnancy of two education CCTs implemented in Bogot´a (Subsidio Educativo, SE, and Familias en Acci´on, FA); both programs differ particularly on whether school success is a condition for renewal or not. We show that SE has negative average effect on teenage pregnancy while FA has a null average effect. We also find that SE has either null or no effect for adolescents in all age and grade groups while FA has positive, null or negative effects for adolescents in different age and grade groups. Since SE conditions renewal on school success and FA does not, we can argue that the empirical results are consistent with the predictions of our model and that conditioning renewal of the subsidy on school success crucially determines the effect of the subsidy on teenage pregnancy
