El objetivo de la presente tesis es crear una guía que permita la efectiva aplicación del Modelo Cadena de Valor-Utilidad propuesto por (Heskett, Sasser, & Schlesinger 2003) en empresas de manufactura. El modelo Cadena de Valor-Utilidad afirma (Heskett et al. 2003) es una estrategia que se basa en la premisa de la existencia de una fuerte relación entre ingresos; crecimiento; lealtad del cliente, el valor de los bienes y servicios entregados al cliente, la capacidad del empleado, satisfacción, lealtad y productividad, y especifica como la calidad interna del servicio lleva a la mejora tanto de la satisfacción del cliente como la de los empleados impactando así en la rentabilidad de la empresa. La guía creada en la presente tesis define y desarrolla los elementos clave del Modelo Cadena de Valor-Utilidad para su aplicación en un entorno de manufactura de clase mundial. Para llevar a cabo una efectiva aplicación de cada elemento se construyen los instrumentos de medición, cuyo enfoque es la recolección de datos clave que permita el claro entendimiento de la situación de la variable bajo estudio. Esta guía fue presentada ante un panel de expertos con el objetivo de validar su aplicabilidad, y validez. Esta tesis pretende aportar conocimiento al nivel gerencial mediante una guía para la aplicación efectiva del Modelo Cadena de Valor-Utilidad, cuya premisa y enfoque principal es lograr incrementar la productividad, rentabilidad y competitividad de una empresa mediante la efectiva administración de las relaciones con los clientes y empleados.

This publication deals with key issues in land tenure, especially as they relate to food insecurity and rural development situations. Land tenure issues are frequently ignored in rural development interventions, with often long-lasting, negative results. This guide is designed to assist technical officers in governments and civil society in understanding why and how land tenure issues should be considered in rural development projects. It analyses important contexts such as environmental degradation, gender discrimination, and conflicts, where land tenure is currently of critical concern.

Since the Arab oil embargo of 1974, it has been clear that the days of almost limitless quantities of low-cost energy have passed. In addition, ever worsening pollution due to fossil fuel consumption, for instance oil and chemical spills, strip mining, sulphur emission and accumulation of solid wastes, has, among other things, led to an increase of as much as 10% in the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere in this century. This has induced a warming trend through the 'greenhouse effect' which prevents infrared radiation from leaving it. Many people think the average planetary temperatures may rise by 4°C or so by 2050. This is probably true since Antarctic ice cores evidence indicates that, over the last 160000 years, ice ages coincided with reduced levels of carbon dioxide and warmer interglacial episodes with increased levels of the gas in the atmosphere. Consequently, such an elevation of temperature over such a relatively short span of time would have catastrophic results in terms of rising sea level and associated flooding of vast tracts of low-lying lands. Reducing the burning of fossil fuels makes sense on both economic and environmental grounds. One of the most attractive alternatives is geothermal resources, especially in developing countries, for instance in El Salvador where geothermal energy provides about a fifth of total installed electrical power already. In fact, by the middle 1980s, at least 121 geothermal power plants were operating worldwide, most being of the dry steam type.

The Measuring the Information Society Report, which has been published annually since 2009, features key ICT data and benchmarking tools to measure the information society, including the ICT Development Index (IDI). The IDI 2016 captures the level of ICT developments in 175 economies worldwide and compares progress made since the year 2014. The MISR 2016 assesses IDI findings at the regional level and highlights countries that rank at the top of the IDI and those that have improved their position in the overall IDI rankings most dynamically since 2014. It will also use the findings of the IDI to analyze trends and developments in the digital divide. The report will present 2015 prices for about 160 countries and provide a detailed analysis of mobile-cellular, fixed-broadband and mobile-broadband prices over the period 2008-2015. It will highlight the role of ICTs in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and present the newly agreed SDG indicator framework, including the ICT indicators. The report will also include a chapter looking into new metrics to measure mobile uptake, and a chapter presenting data analyzing Internet use and uptake.
