Abstract: El presente articulo hace una revision de como han realizado distintos tipos de ciudades su posicionamiento en el sistema global mediante el estudio de casos significativos. En la parte empirica, se realiza un analisis comparativo entre las actuaciones urbanas realizadas por 37 ciudades en dos periodos de tiempo diferentes: entre 1980 y 1995, que corresponde a la etapa de transicion industrial, y entre 1995 y 2005, que responde a la etapa postindustrial. Se concluye que aquellas actuaciones vinculadas a la calidad de vida urbana y al marketing urbano han ido adquiriendo mayor relevancia que otras mas vinculadas a la planificacion estrategica de caracter economico. Asimismo, las actuaciones de marcado caracter material dejan paso a otras mas relacionadas con aspectos inmateriales. En suma, se observa un proceso de transicion desde un modelo basado en los elementos tangibles de una ciudad hacia otro mas preocupado en la busqueda elementos inmateriales.

TL;DR: In this paper, an estudio de caso del Polo Petroquimico de Bahia Blanca (Argentina) is presented, which analyzes its evolucion and configuracion, centrandose in adecuacion o no al modelo of cluster industrial and its contribucion al desarrollo regional.
Abstract: La tesis es un estudio de caso del Polo Petroquimico de Bahia Blanca (Argentina), que analiza su evolucion y su configuracion actual centrandose en su adecuacion o no al modelo de cluster industrial y su contribucion al desarrollo regional. El estudio de este cluster en cierta medida “no exitoso” permite cuestionar ciertas nociones de la perspectiva teorica del Nuevo Regionalismo o Teoria del Desarrollo Endogeno. Este estudio se basa en encuestas a las cuatro empresas petroquimicas que componen el Polo y entrevistas a informantes de las empresas y de los principales agentes institucionales que componen el contexto local vinculados a la actividad de las empresas (asociaciones empresariales representantes de las empresas petroquimicas y de los proveedores locales, sindicato, gobierno local, universidades e institutos de I+D). A su vez, se realiza una revision de los modelos de desarrollo a nivel nacional que sirven de contexto para entender la evolucion de la aglomeracion de empresas petroquimicas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the effect of urban density and spatial structure (monocentrism, polycentrism and dispersion) of the main U.S. cities on their greenhouse gas emissions from mobility and housing.
Abstract: Different studies have estimated cities’ contribution to total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at between forty and seventy percent. According to the so-called Compact City Approach, high density and centrality should lead to low GHG. This study compares the effect of the urban density and spatial structure (monocentrism, polycentrism, and dispersion) of the main U.S. cities on their greenhouse gas emissions from mobility and housing. The estimated models include control variables in order to improve the statistical adjustment, these variables are grouped into three categories: basic controls as temperature and Gross Domestic Product (GDP); historical-demographic controls since 1900; and geographic-urban planning controls. The results detect an environmentally positive effect, albeit a moderate one, associated with monocentric and polycentric spatial structures as compared to dispersed structures. Within the tradition of urban planning, these results can be used as an argument to stop the dispersed decentralization of cities. However, the efficacy of some policies encouraging density should be accompanied by specific policies which increase the energy efficiency of housing and promote the use of public transport.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the financial performance of 21 hotel companies, linking components of valuation to determine strategic financial risk and show that risk management establishes control over the capital structure, retention rate, growth rate and capital risk-adjusted performance allowing creation of strategies that can become a competitive advantage.
Abstract: This work presents the financial performance of 21 hotel companies, linking components of valuation to determine strategic financial risk. The theoretical context establishes that financial decision-making at the strategic level in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) requires the understanding of different paradigms. Risk management establishes control over the capital structure, retention rate, growth rate, and capital risk-adjusted performance allowing creation of strategies that can become a competitive advantage. The results indicate that strategic financial risk is identified by determining the capital structure that maximizes the value of companies.
