Internationalization and Trust From the Perspective of Mexican Entrepreneurs: Policy Implications for Small‐ and Medium‐Sized Enterprises in Developing Countries
(Wiley, 2025-05-05)
;
Felipe De Anda
This article examines the associations between trust—institutional and personal—and entrepreneurial internationalization by surveying to collect data from entrepreneurs (owners or chief executive officers). The survey involved a representative sample of 103 respondents who are members of the Employers Confederation of the Mexican Republic (Coparmex), Jalisco delegation. The survey process facilitated a comprehensive diagnosis, identifying trust levels among domestic and internationalized entrepreneurs. Based on <jats:italic>t‐</jats:italic>tests for mean comparisons, correlation, and regression analyses, the trust levels reported by entrepreneurs do not differentiate between those with exported sales and those with only local businesses. It suggests, all else being equal, that the trust of foreign partners should explain the possibilities for the internationalization of Mexican entrepreneurs. These findings have policy implications to support international networking and transparency by providing training in global business practices based on building trust with foreign partners and strengthening diplomatic relations and access to market information.

Entre la eficiencia y la desinformación: la integración de la inteligencia artificial en el periodismo mexicano
(Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), 2025-02-26)
;
García Félix Edgar Miguel
El impacto de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en el periodismo varía según contextos socioeconómicos y culturales, y el caso de México no es la excepción. Para conocer cómo los medios mexicanos integran herramientas de IA en sus procesos, este estudio analiza, mediante entrevistas de profundidad, los patrones de adopción tecnológica de diez medios digitales mexicanos reconocidos por su credibilidad. Su integración incluye la optimización de tareas y, en menor medida, la generación de contenido. A pesar de estas iniciativas, la IA enfrenta múltiples barreras en México como los altos costos de implementación, la desconfianza hacia las herramientas y la falta de capacitación técnica, lo que limita su uso. Este panorama contrasta con otras regiones, donde la IA es usada ampliamente en la creación de contenidos automatizados para audiencias específicas. Otro desafío crítico es el riesgo de desinformación, exacerbado por la capacidad de las herramientas de IA para generar contenido hiperrealista que puede ser manipulado. Aunque estas tecnologías ofrecen eficiencia, los medios mexicanos subrayan la necesidad de un control humano riguroso para garantizar la precisión y la ética de la información. En este contexto, los hallazgos revelan una paradoja: mientras que la IA tiene el potencial de transformar el periodismo, su adopción está marcada por tensiones económicas, éticas y tecnológicas. Para superar estas barreras es necesario invertir en infraestructura, capacitación y regulaciones que fomenten su uso responsable. ©Los autores ©Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) ©Estudios sobre el Mensaje Periodístico.

Optimization of public resources through an ensemble-learning model to measure quality perception in the social protection system in health of Mexico
(Springer, 2018)
;
Rivera-Peña, Gustavo
In order to optimize the use of public resources, a model of ensemble learning was proposed to measure the perception of quality in the medical care granted to the people affiliated to the social protection in health system of Mexico. Which allows a more efficient allocation of resources based on the main areas of opportunity identified in the measurement of service quality. Identify the effect of the main factors that are directly related to the satisfaction level and perception of quality of health services. A satisfaction index was built using an ensemble model using principal component analysis, logistic model and bagging meta-estimator, to identify the effect of a group of factors in the perception of quality of health services and monitor the perceived quality of users in real time. The survey data collected for the “Social Protection System in Health-SPSS 2014” was used, considering a sample of 28,290 users. The proposed index shows, in general, the positive perception of quality of health services, the national average index was of 0.0756, 95% CI [− 9.714 to 2.027]. There are factors statistically significant (P < 0.05) that influence these results, among the most important that can be highlighted is the good perception of infrastructure OR 2.12; CI [95% 1.9–2.36]; the gratuity of the service provided OR 1.98; CI [95% 1.42–2.76]; and full medicines supply OR 1.81; CI [95% 1.91–2.36]. The key factors identified that determine the perception of quality allow to define focused strategies and lines of action to improve service quality as well as better allocation of resources. ©Springer, The Authors.

Mexico’s Exchange Rate Policy Restrictions on a High Volatility Environment
(Routledge, 2018)
;
Luis Raul Rodríguez-reyes
The Mexican Peso (MXN) is one of the most traded currencies in the world. Such trading volume does not match the relative size of the Mexican economy or its international trade volume. This intensified trading activity is mostly related with the free exchange features of the MXN, as it does not have barriers or taxes that hinder its exchange with other major currencies, and its liquidity. Both features transformed the MXN from a free trading currency of a relatively medium size country into the Latin America financial asset of reference in international markets, particularly in its parity with the US dollar. In this research paper we study the USD-MXN exchange rate volatility, from the policy-maker perspective, and the limits imposed to the central bank to fight speculative attacks towards Mexican currency, as most trading on such parity occurs overseas, away from the country’s regulatory reach. This analysis is conducted taking into account the use of the Mexican currency as a hedge for falling prices in commodities’ international prices, mainly with the use of derivatives on the USD-MXN exchange rate. In this new environement, the source of the exchange rate volatility is not related to flawed economic fundamentals or political uncertainty, as it was in the last decades of the XX century, but, volatility now comes from the existence of financial speculators and other agents that heavily rely on the Mexican peso, mainly in the form of derivatives, to operate in international financial markets.

Cataract is the primary cause of treatable blindness in low- and middle-income countries. Due to limited resources, the public sector often fails to provide adequate services, resulting in long waiting times, low quality or significant quantity gaps. Nonprofits are crucial in providing supplementary or complementary funding and resources for affordable eye care and other public goods and services. This study evaluates costs and benefits of cataract surgery at the nonprofit Mexican Institute of Ophthalmology (IMO) using data from interviews conducted in 2022 to estimate its social return. For every peso invested, the average stakeholder receives a 12:1 return in improved autonomy, self-confidence, and reduced stress levels. Sensitivity analysis suggests a SROI ratio of at least 2:1 in the most restrictive scenario, increasing to 33:1 under more lenient assumptions. Measuring and communicating the social value of nonprofit activities is critical for optimizing resource allocation, enhancing accountability, and generating valuable insights into their effectiveness. © International Society for Third-Sector Research

Cross-Cultural Effects in Adoption Patterns of a Mobile Coaching Service for Studies
(IGI Global, 2021)
Shahidi, Niousha
;
Cacho-Elizondo, Silvia
;
Tossan, Vessélina
This study applied an adoption model, inspired by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Multipurpose Information Appliances Adoption Model (MIAAM), to compare key variables explaining adoption patterns of a mobile coaching app that guides and encourages students via a technology-based platform. This article constitutes a pioneer effort to compare adoption behaviors across a developed country and an emerging country (France and Mexico) with differences in level of use of mobile apps. A multi-group structural equation modelling approach was used to test the causal structure of the conceptual model. Results confirmed significant differences and similarities across samples and identified critical factors. Perceived usefulness was found to be the most important driver with mediating effects. Organizations implementing coaching services with an improved perceived usefulness could boost their adoption rates.

When Space and Time Matter in Environmental Injustice: A Bayesian Analysis of the Association between Socio-economic Disadvantage and Air Pollution in Greater Mexico City
(Springer, 2023)
;
Touza, Julia

McClean, Colin J.
Environmental injustice refers to the unequal burden of pollutants on groups with lower socioeconomic status. An increasing number of studies have identified associations between high levels of pollution and socioeconomic disadvantage. However, few studies have controlled adequately for spatio-temporal variations in pollution. This study uses a Bayesian approach to explore the association between socioeconomic disadvantage and pollution in Mexico City Metropolitan Area. We quantify the association of socioeconomic disadvantage with PM10 and ozone and evaluate the impact of accounting for spatio-temporal structure of the pollution data. We find a significant positive association between socio-economic disadvantage and pollution for levels of PM10, but not ozone. The inclusion of the spatio-temporal element in the modeling results in improved weaker estimates of this association but this does not alter results substantially. These findings confirm the robustness of previous studies that found signs of environmental injustice where spatio-temporal variations have not been explicitly considered, confirming that targeted policies to reduce pollution in socio-economically disadvantaged areas are required. © 2024 Springer Nature

Are media covering while women are campaigning? A study of Mexican municipal elections
(2022)
Studies on media coverage have found that female nominees receive unequal treatment regarding their visibility and portrayal of their agendas. To assess how media cover women, municipal elections in Mexico are analysed. By focusing on municipal elections, this research advocate for the study of local phenomena and their discourses. The study questions whether women have received equal media exposure compared to men. The research analyses how women are portrayed and explores how print news media present stories about women and the narratives included in their stories. Findings suggest that female and male candidates are equally visible, but men are singled out more often as likely winners. News reports focus mostly on ‘male’ issues, but coverage does not focus disproportionally on female candidates’ personality traits. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
