Title: THE EFFECT OF CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE IN THE PERCEPTION OF AUDITORS: INTERNAL CONTROLS AND FRAUD, EFECTO DEL CONOCIMIENTO CULTURAL EN LA PERCEPCION DE LOS AUDITORES: CONTROLES INTERNOS Y FRAUDE
Abstract: This research examines how cultural knowledge of the country in where a company is located affects the perception of auditors in the planning of an audit (internal controls and the risk of fraud). The analysis uses the dimensions of power distance and long-term vision to predict the effects of cultural differences. While globalization has eliminated trade barriers between countries, cultural diversity has emerged as a challenge for those who manage or work in multinational companies that are located in different countries. The results of content analysis and statistical analysis is used (binomial analysis with a Z test) showed that the cultural knowledge of a country can influence the perception of the auditors on the reliability of internal controls and the potential for fraud when planning an audit.

Abstract: This paper provide a financial analysis of shrimp boats in the ports of Alvarado and Tuxpan, Veracruz. We demonstrate the position and financial situation of the shrimp boat organizations and propose a feasible resource management system. When financial statements for Alvarado and by season for Tuxpan are examined over, income is known and costs are classified into stable and variable, to determine the usefulness or loss. We use the flow of projected cash, graph design for interpretation. This study is important, since the harvest is ever more difficult with elevated costs. A relevant result is shown for fuel consumption and expenses during off season. It is immediately necessary to acquire appropriate technology to improve fishing techniques.

Title: RESEARCH OF FACTIBILITY FOR THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF THE BLACKBERRY IN INTERNATIONAL MARKETS, ESTUDIO DE FACTIBILIDAD PARA LA COMERCIALIZACION DE ZARZAMORA EN MERCADOS INTERNACIONALES
Abstract: Blackberry production has been expanded recently years in different parts of Mexico. Production in Michoacan has reached the highest level, due to favorable weather conditions, soil and water that prevail in the region. There are several states that contribute to the national production of blackberries including Jalisco, Mexico, Colima, Distrito Federal, Querétaro, Nayarit and Guanajuato. Along with Michoacan these areas produced more than 61 thousand tons of blackberry. The Blackberry market is mainly as a fresh product, and industrial use is focused on the preparation of jams, wines, juices and concentrate. Their is high demand for these products in developed countries. This study identifies and determines the macroeconomics of trade, as well as regulations on international trade that influence the sales of Mexican blackberries in international markets. We examine the business opportunities for this high
profitabile, versatile fruit for consumption and export potential.

Title: EXPLORATORY STUDY OF VARIABLES THROUGH THE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS MIC MAC IN THE SERVICE TO USERS IN THE MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATION AT MONTERREY, MEXICO, ESTUDIO EXPLORATORIO DE VARIABLES A TRAVES DE ANALISIS ESTRUCTURAL MIC MAC EN LA
PRESTACION DEL SERVICIO EN LA ADMINISTRACION PUBLICA MUNICIPAL DE MONTERREY, MEXICO
Abstract: Attempts to improve deficiencies in public administration transitional economy countries such as Mexico have occurred over a long period. Even though Mexico has advanced administrative concepts (training, modernization and measurement for the service), there remains work do. Matters including conflict of interests, slow procedure, prepotency and deficiencies in facilities are the most frequent complaints by citizens from Monterrey. Based on information provided by the transparency office in Nuevo León, México an exploratory study of variables was conducted. We use the Impact Matrix Cross-Reference Multiplication Applied to a Classification (MIC MAC) technique. The objective was to identify key variables that disturb the system. These areas must be addressed to improve the service to users. Those essential variables identified through MIC MAC keep the system going, so it is relevant to identify them in
order to identify actions that reduce the problems.

Title: INSTRUMENTS OF PARTICIPATORY MANAGEMENT IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: A PROPOSAL FOR A SYSTEM OF INDICATORS FOR STATE PLANNNING EN BAJA CALIFORNIA,INSTRUMENTOS DE GESTION PARTICIPATIVA EN LA ADMINISTRACION PUBLICA: PROPUESTA DE UN
SISTEMA DE INDICADORES PARA LA PLANEACION ESTATAL EN BAJA CALIFORNIA
Abstract: Given the modernization of public administration strategies and the heightened emphasis on transparency and accountability in Mexico, systems of control have become necessary tools used to evaluate policies designed to stimulate and facilitate the participation of community-based actors in the process of decision making. Such systems, based on indicators, generate information that allows administrators to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness, as well as the limitations, of participatory management. In this article, we present the results of a study designed to identify user perception of Baja California’s system of participatory management provided through the state Planning Committee for Development. Based on the results and analysis of focus group sessions and questionnaires, we determine that the current process of participatory democratic decision making is ineffective and inefficient. In
order to redress the problems, we propose a new system of indicators, which incorporates impact, management, and output factors, to formulate and evaluate participatory management policies.

Title: VIOLENCE AND DESERTION OF STUDENTS IN HIGHER EDUCATION, VIOLENCIA Y DESERCION DE ESTUDIANTES DE EDUCACION SUPERIOR
Abstract: This research analyzes the relation between violence, scholar desertion and academic performance in students of higher education. Violence in and out of their homes, physical or psychological, economical or sexual, impacts in the performance of students. Desertion is one of the most significant consequences. This is a case study that analyzes multidisciplinary factors that affect the school desertion and the relationship that exists between violence and the academic performance of students in higher education. The results are released from two simultaneous investigations, with objects of similar studies between the two works which maintain the central hypothesis that violence is a risk factor for the school desertion rate. Quantitative methodologies were developed, because surveys applied generated indicators and knowledge that allowed the design of a proposal to improve the academic performance of students. This
research deepens the understanding of factors that affect school desertion.

Title: THE PROMOTION OF DOMESTIC TOURISM: THE CASE OF SAN FELIPE, B.C., LA PROMOCION DEL TURISMO DOMESTICO: CASO SAN FELIPE, B.C.
Abstract: This article documents tourist activity in the Port of San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico. We analyze the promotion by the private sector, particularly by hotels and restaurants, and government to attract domestic and international tourists in situations of economic slowdown. The local economy is strongly correlated with spending by foreign tourists, particularly from the United States, a trend similar to the rest of the country. Tourism activity is the third source of international receipts. Since 2008, various internal and external events like the growing violence, AH1N1, the economic slowdown, among others, have caused a declination of foreign tourist visits to Mexico, with a consequent fall in the community of San Felipe. This article documents the perception of local service providers about how to encourage tourist arrivals and the role domestic tourism should play. The goal is to diversify demand, and maintain a constant arrival of local consumers.
