Opciones reales en la gerencia de proyectos

Teniendo en cuenta el escaso conocimiento y utilización de las opciones reales a la hora de realizar la evaluación financiera de un proyecto, se evidencia una oportunidad de elaborar un estado del arte de esta metodología con el fin de comparar las ventajas y las desventajas respecto a los métodos tradicionales más utilizados -- Para el desarrollo de la investigación se recurrió a información secundaria dentro de las bases de datos de la universidad EAFIT y su biblioteca, donde se encontraron artículos y material académico que arrojaron datos significativos que contribuyeron al cumplimiento de los objetivos -- Dentro de los resultados se encentra que el VPN y la TIR son las metodologías más comunes para la evaluación de proyectos en gran medida por su sencilla aplicación -- Por otro lado, las opciones reales son poco utilizadas por desconocimiento y por la aparente complejidad de su aplicación -- La mayor desventaja que presentan las metodologías tradicionales es que son estáticas, rígidas, orientadas al corto plazo y no manejan eficazmente la incertidumbre, mientras que las opciones reales tienen en cuenta la flexibilidad estratégica incorporada en un proyecto

The socio-economic aspects of the fishing communities of Lake Victoria, Uganda

A baseline survey of the fishing communities was conducted in 2005/06 as one of the main studies under the Socio-economic Research and Monitoring Working Group on Lake Victoria. The overall objective of the survey was to provide a deeper understanding of the broad socio-economic characteristics and well being of the different stakeholder groups immediately dependent on the Lake Victoria fisheries. An understanding of socioeconomic status of the fishery primary stakeholders, who include fishers, artisanal processors and traders, is essential for any subsequent periodic evaluation of development. During the survey, a total of 1,235 respondents were interviewed, at 34 landing sites in all the Ugandan districts on Lake Victoria. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide information on the fish landing beaches, people involved in fisheries, their livelihood activities and facilities available to them.

Economic Aspects of Agricultural and Food Biosecurity in the United States, March 2007

Concerns about biosecurity in the food system raise a variety of issues about how the system is presently organized, why it might be vulnerable, what one could reasonably do to better secure it, and the costs of doing so. After presenting some facts about US agriculture and food, this paper considers three economic aspects of the general problem. One is the global problem, or the way biosecurity measures can affect how countries relate to each other and the global consequences that result. Another is how to best manage the immediate aftermath of a realized threat in order to minimize damage. The third is how to seek to prevent realization of the threat. Some policy alternatives are also presented.
