Ítem Assessing the needs of international markets against an emerging market company's capabilities: A tool for internationalization(Wiley-Liss Inc., 2019-01-01) Piedrahita C.E.; De Villa, Maria AndreaSenior managers in emerging markets often strive to ensure that their companies develop sufficient capabilities to confront the needs they encounter in international markets. However, extant research and practice remain unclear as to how senior managers in emerging market companies can approach assessing the needs of their international markets against their own company's capabilities, to aim for a balance between both. This article offers an innovative approach for assessing the needs of international markets against an emerging market company's capabilities. Based on the assessments of 100 senior managers leading emerging market companies, we explain how this approach can provide two key insights. First, evidence of a balance between the needs of international markets and an emerging market company's capabilities, that indicates the company's competitive position is focused; or evidence of an imbalance between the needs of international markets and an emerging market company's capabilities, that indicates the company's competitive position is either vulnerable or overqualified. Second, an understanding of where the gaps between the needs of international markets and an emerging market company's capabilities are, that enables improving the company's competitive position by closing these gaps. Drawing on this approach, we offer an open access tool that allows senior managers in emerging markets to identify and improve their own company's competitive position for internationalization. Using this tool, senior managers can lead their emerging market companies toward a focused competitive position in international markets, providing better chances of successfully capturing potential benefits. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Ítem ¿Cómo incidir en el desarrollo de las capacidades socio emocionales de niños y adolescentes de las escuelas explora, crea, construye e inspira de la red Cosmoschools?(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Álvarez Licona, Melissa; Vargas Sáenz, Mario EnriqueThe school is one of the fundamental scenarios for children, adolescents and young people to acquire the necessary skills that allow them to function in their environment and solve any problem or challenge in the daily life of the present and the future, in recent decades several organizations have interested in contributing new methodologies for learning and acquiring tools that allow children, adolescents and young people a multidimensional development (cognitive, social, emotional, relational, bodily, transcendental) within the school. It is essential to establish whether the transformation of educational models without purist traits, which integrate different models and methodologies, has an effect beyond the cognitive and contributes to the socio-emotional development of students.Ítem Conversemos sobre educación, liderazgo y tecnología(Medellín : Universidad EAFIT, 2022-10-14) Universidad EAFIT; Restrepo Montoya, Claudia Patricia, 1975-; Vélez, David, 1975-; Universidad EAFITÍtem Efectos sociales de la Covid-19 en Medellín : un evento que incrementa la desigualdad en las brechas educativas(Universidad EAFIT, 2021) Osorio Agudelo, Sandra Milena; Sánchez Prado, Marbin Karina; Uribe López, MauricioÍtem Formulación de una estrategia de direccionamiento estratégico para la empresa Akorbi S.A.S., que comprenda el periodo 2024 – 2029(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Zapata Gallego, Yesenia María; Collazos Pulgarín, Juan Camilo; Uribe de Correa, Beatriz Amparo; Delgado Restrepo, Ricardo de JesúsÍtem Proceso estratégico para una empresa de producción de telas vinílicas(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Villegas Serna, María Alejandra; Giraldo Hernández, Gina MaríaÍtem Uncommoditizing strategies by emerging market firms(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2019-07-15) Cuervo-Cazurra, A.; Carneiro, J.; Finchelstein, D.; Duran, P.; Gonzalez-Perez, Maria Alejandra; Montoya, M.A.; Borda Reyes, A.; Fleury, M.T.L.; Newburry, W.Purpose: This paper aims to analyze how emerging market firms upgrade their capabilities by focusing on “uncommoditizing strategies” that enable them to achieve levels of international competitiveness beyond the comparative advantages of their home countries and serve markets with premium pricing, quality and reputation of products. Design/methodology/approach: In this paper, the authors studied 18 Latin American companies across six countries. Latin America represents an ideal setting because many of these countries have traditionally developed using natural resource endowments, and their firms have tended to rely on these in their internationalization. To facilitate the analysis of each case and the comparisons across cases, the authors used the same analytical framework for the companies, identifying the sources of differentiation and cost efficiency strategies that enabled these firms to upgrade their capabilities and compete on the basis of premium pricing, quality and reputation. Findings: The analysis identified a general framework that represents an abstraction of the actions taken by these companies over time. The proposed model consists of three main elements used to pursue uncommoditizing strategies: tropicalized innovation, global efficiency and coordinated control. Originality/value: Recent research on emerging market firms has shown interest in how these firms upgrade their capabilities. This paper contributes to this stream of research by providing an overarching framework that not only bridged previous narrower studies but also explained how firms can develop uncommoditizing strategies to upgrade their capabilities. Further, this paper helps managers by providing a comprehensive yet succinct overview of the main strategies that they can use to help their firms to achieve international competitiveness. © 2018, Emerald Publishing Limited.
