http://mercadosynegocios.cucea.udg.mx/index.php/MYN/article/view/7724
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The financial projections used in decision-making are associated with a degree of uncertainty regarding the correct choice of the hypotheses used or the certainty of the value of the variables, which is why it is necessary to place ourselves in several scenarios in which the hypotheses and the value of the variables over which we have less control and which in turn have the most significant impact on the results must be varied. Expected results. The above process is known as Sensitivity Analysis.</p>Juan Gaytán Cortés

http://mercadosynegocios.cucea.udg.mx/index.php/MYN/article/view/7717
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The research aimed to analyze the contribution of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to the competitiveness of supermarkets in Florencia, Caquetá in southern Colombia. In a sample of six supermarkets, a self-assessment survey of CSR and competitiveness variables was carried out for 2021 to 2022, consisting of six dimensions: values and ethical principles, responsible marketing, economy and finance, social commitment, quality of working life, and environment. The tool makes it possible to measure the commitment of the organization's CSR activities to competitiveness. The environment is the dimension with the lowest score and contribution to competitiveness in the dimensions evaluated in the supermarkets (2.0 on a scale of 0.0 - 3.0). According to the correlation analysis, there is a relationship between CSR and competitive position. Awareness-raising and training actions aimed at stakeholders are proposed.</p>Yelly Yamparli Pardo RozoGabriela Carvajal ValderramaAlexandra Perdomo Carvajal

http://mercadosynegocios.cucea.udg.mx/index.php/MYN/article/view/7714
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The paper aims to analyze the contradiction between green consumers' behavior and green technology foods offered to them. An analysis of papers from different authors showed that green consumers are willing to make conscious food consumption. However, factors like price, knowledge about the green cause, consumer income, reference groups, shopping convenience, and food availability influence their final consumption. Collective intelligence is a solution for green consumers to make better decisions: it also involves challenges, ethical considerations, and avoiding political influences on shared information. In conclusion, governments and food producers must do a lot to ensure green consumers have enough tools to make informed and sustainable alimentary decisions.</p>Almeirim Isabel Acosta Bahena

http://mercadosynegocios.cucea.udg.mx/index.php/MYN/article/view/7715
<p style="font-weight: 400;">This paper was developed to analyze the level of implementation of intellectual property management processes in Higher Education Institutions (HEI). Intellectual Property management processes in the public sector have been reduced, at least in understanding the concept, to the processes of protecting and maintaining intellectual property titles; however, it is a more extensive process than conceptualized. In this sense, Martinez et al. (2018) generated a methodology involving 19 indicators (processes) of intellectual property management implemented during the R&D&I process. These indicators were used to measure their implementation in Mexican public sector HEIs with information from the transparency portal. The research shows the importance of generating multidisciplinary groups in R&D&I processes, enhancing the financial redundancy of research investment.</p>Fernando RodríguezMartin Vivanco VargasMoisés Gómez Salazar

http://mercadosynegocios.cucea.udg.mx/index.php/MYN/article/view/7723
<p style="font-weight: 400;">This work proposes a design of an alternative pension plan based on collectivity with the characteristics of hybrid plans. Based on actuarial methods and financial modeling of some of the variables involved, numerical modeling of collective plans is performed to achieve this objective. Then, various scenarios were carried out to simulate a pension fund based on an institution database. At the end of each period, the replacement rate value for each plan member is calculated with a target of 30% of the last salary. As the plan works collectively, surpluses and deficits are distributed uniformly among the plan members. The results are that it is possible to achieve a replacement rate of 70% in the form of a life annuity due with 30 years of service, a contribution rate of 15% of the salary, and an investment portfolio of 60% of assets invested in equities and 40% in bonds.</p>Denise Gómez HernándezHumberto Banda-Ortiz
