Velázquez-Salazar, Marisol

Terán-Bustamante, Antonia
Digital transformation is a key component of an organization’s transformation strategy. The right technologies, people, processes, and operations allow organizations to respond faster to a changing market, adapt, take advantage of opportunities, innovate, and generate value and competitive advantages. This paper discusses the Digital Transformation (DT) in Latin America, highlighting its accelerated growth due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the digital divide and inequalities between sectors, with some industries advancing faster than others. The document emphasizes the need for human-centric approaches to DT and the importance of public policies to ensure equitable access and protection. It also examines different authors’ definitions and perspectives on DT, emphasizing the importance of data-driven processes and the role of digital capabilities in organizational success. ©The authors ©Springer.

Intersection of Banking, Social Welfare, and Digital Transformation: The Mexican Case, a Latin American Perspective

The banking system has been instrumental in developing economies throughout history, as it has effectively directed the funds collected from their clients’ savings and investments into productive activities of individuals and enterprises, financed consumer goods and current expenditures, housing and infrastructure projects, and provided market liquidity. However, in Latin America and amid digital transformation, banks face the dual challenge of modernizing operations while addressing socio-economic disparities. This study shows that fluctuations in operational measurements of top Mexican banks significantly affect changes in the widely used global measure of social welfare, the Human Development Index. We evaluated findings by using a machine learning prediction model and a panel data estimation, and underline how digital transformation in banking using emerging technologies to increase public access to financial services, especially credit loans for marginalized populations, can improve customer experience and financial inclusion to exploit this correlation. This approach provides a framework for understanding the potential of digital technologies to drive competitive advantages and social benefits across Latin America. ©The authors ©Springer.

El artículo destaca la importancia de la acción en el desarrollo de proyectos de vida y describe la importancia de la emancipación en el ejercicio de las libertades. A continuación, describe los retos de la educación desde la perspectiva del enfoque de las capacidades. Sitúa la importancia de este enfoque en el contexto latinoamericano, donde la libertad está estrechamente vinculada a la búsqueda de la justicia social. Por último, describe los diferentes ámbitos de aplicación del enfoque de las capacidades en la educación y señala las limitaciones de la educación formal en el mundo contemporáneo.

Universalidad en disputa: la lógica de la dominación cultural en el Debate de Valladolid (1550-51)
(Universidad Panamericana. Facultad de Filosofía, 2019)
Aguerre, Lucía A.
En este artículo se desarrolla una hermeneusis filosófica del “Debate de Valladolid” (1550-51) centrada en la noción de “universalidad”, poniendo de relieve los elementos universalistas presentes tanto en la fundamentación de una praxis de dominación colonial desarrollada por Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda como en el reconocimiento de la diversidad cultural que sostuvo Bartolomé de las Casas. Se estudia, en primer lugar, el contexto histórico-ideológico de la conquista, para luego reparar en los argumentos de de Sepúlveda sobre la barbarie, la superioridad cultural y el derecho de dominio, los cuales establecieron una “lógica de la dominación cultural”. En ese marco, de Sepúlveda pretendió instaurar una fractura entre culturas “civilizadas” y culturas “bárbaras”, en las que la esencia humana se revelaba de manera deficiente. Seguidamente, se analizan las objeciones a la “fractura colonial” presentadas por de las Casas, quien compone una postura alternativa resignificando el concepto de “universalidad” que habitaba los argumentos diferencialistas de de Sepúlveda.

Early surveys in Latin America and transnational communication research, 1941–1945 : Cantril's discontinued legacy in the Americas
(2019)
Navarro Arroyo, Mariano
;
Ortiz Garza, José Luis
This article examines the history of survey and communication research in Latin America. Aiming to contribute to a more robust transnational history of communication research in the American continent we examine the works of Nelson Rockefeller's OIAA (Office of Inter-American Affairs) and Hadley Cantril in several Latin American countries. We argue that, despite the importance of these early studies, they are not considered in the official history of communication because they failed to leave institutional traces in Latin America and also due to the fact that transnational archival work has only seldom been considered an important source in Latin American history of communication. © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
