https://revistas.udec.cl/index.php/ran/article/view/11231
<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>The objective of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of financial education and inclusion between Mexico and Colombia.</p> <p><strong>Design/Methodology</strong>: To contrast financial literacy, we employ the qualitative research technique of content analysis to examine national strategies of financial education in both nations. For financial inclusion, we utilize the Global Index, considering the usage of financial products and employ linear regressions as an econometric analysis technique.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: In general, both countries showed similarities in their results.</p> <p><strong>Practical implications: </strong> Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that Colombia addressed the subject of “retirement welfare and old-age protection” as a central theme in their National Strategy for Economic and Financial Education. This emphasis resulted in a higher quantity in the variable “concern about the future” compared to Mexico.</p> <p><strong>Originality/Value:</strong> This study results may prove valuable to improve financial strategies in both nations.</p>Laura Adriana Saucedo LoeraMiguel Angel Oropeza TagleRicardo Ruiz Guerra

https://revistas.udec.cl/index.php/ran/article/view/11293
<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> to evaluate the recording of information related to M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) transactions that include earnout as an element of contingent consideration in accordance with the accounting standard IFRS 3 - Business Combination and the key aspects of accounting information disclosure as per the IASB Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> We conducted exploratory, descriptive, and qualitative research that adopted a three-dimensional view to analyze the economic, legal, and accounting aspects of business combination transactions carried out with the use of Earnout. We considered all M&A operations conducted in Brazil between 2016 and 2020 by companies listed on the Brazilian Stock Exchange, which included earnout components.</p> <p><strong>Findings:</strong> Our findings indicate that acquiring companies comply with the regulatory requirements of IFRS 3. However, they do not consistently provide uniform, comprehensive, and transparent information regarding earnout transactions.</p> <p><strong>Practical implications: </strong>This study underscores the necessity to reconsider the disclosure criteria for earnout transactions. It emphasizes the importance of providing useful information to stakeholders through financial statements and accompanying explanatory notes, enabling interested parties to comprehend the financial structure of the transaction and its potential future impacts on financial statements.</p> <p><strong>Value:</strong> This research contributes to the capital market, regulators, and other interested parties by demonstrating the economic and legal characteristics vis-à-vis the accounting treatment attributed to earnout in M&A transactions. It addresses the gap in existing literature and highlights the need to revise the criteria for disclosure of useful information.</p>Carlos Elder Maciel de AquinoFabio Cunha DowerFernando Dal-Ri MurciaIsabel Cristina LopesRicardo Anhesini Souza

<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of work-family balance on job satisfaction and stress in government employees.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> a causal, cross-sectional and non-experimental study was conducted, collecting data through an anonymous survey of 341 participants.</p> <p><strong>Findings:</strong> work-family reconciliation had moderate levels, standing out among university staff. Low level of work stress was observed. Job satisfaction levels ranged from moderate to high. The correlations indicate that a positive perception of work-life balance is associated with better work control, and improved relationship with supervisors and collaborators.</p> <p><strong>Practical implications:</strong> The findings give a valuable perspective to improve human resource management in public institutions and ensure a healthy and balanced work environment in public institutions.</p> <p><strong>Originality/value: </strong>this study highlights the importance of work-life balance to improve satisfaction and reduce work stress in public institutions.</p>Margarita Chiang VegaFernanda Cecilia CabezaMaria Jose Rivera Cerda

https://revistas.udec.cl/index.php/ran/article/view/11465
<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> This article explores the interconnection between Paraguayan consumer behavior and products from Argentina and Brazil, situating the study within the context of past hostilities (animosity) and present uneven relations among the three <u>nations</u>.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> Employing snowball sampling methodology, we conducted surveys with 385 middle- and upper-class Paraguayans from the greater Asunción area, both in-person and online, during the first half of 2022. The survey included questions on country-of-origin scales (specially consumer animosity), product preferences, and demographics. We developed and estimated a conceptual model connecting antecedents with Paraguayan consumer attitudes toward Argentina and Brazil using multiple regression.</p> <p><strong>Findings:</strong> The impact of acculturation and the receipt of household remittances is significant on consumer animosity (CA). Elevated levels of acculturation intensify CA, while receiving household remittances acts as a mitigating factor against CA feelings.</p> <p><strong>Practical Implications:</strong> Novel antecedents of consumer animosity inform and may guide decision-making for businesses and policymaking in addressing consumer animosity in Paraguay.</p> <p><strong>Originality:</strong> This is the first study of consumer animosity in Paraguay.</p>Michael PisaniAlcides G.

https://revistas.udec.cl/index.php/ran/article/view/11547
<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> To diagnose the state of verbal communication among managers in Venezuelan private banking from the perspective of neurocommunication.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> This research was both exploratory and descriptive in nature, employing a qualitative approach with a non-experimental, field-based, cross-sectional design and a phenomenological orientation. The sample comprised nine managers from the top 10 banks in Venezuela. Data collection involved qualitative, non-standardized, and unstructured interviews.</p> <p><strong>Findings:</strong> Managers in Venezuelan private banking exhibit a fairly adequate understanding of concepts related to communication and recognize its significance in achieving organizational objectives. However, they reveal difficulties in effectively managing all the elements that constitute the applied neurocommunication model, influenced by personal, organizational, and cultural factors.</p> <p><strong>Implications:</strong> The study identified a set of dysfunctional elements in verbal communication among managers in Venezuelan private banks, which hinder the achievement of their objectives. These elements should be taken into account in development of their corporate communication plans.</p> <p><strong>Value:</strong> The practical application of the 5 Elements of Neurocommunication Model within a specific organizational context facilitated a novel approach to verbal communication in a key sector of Venezuelan economy.</p>Nerio Ramon Olivar Urbina

2023-12-312023-12-3110112114410.29393/RAN10-9FIMJ30009Reduction maternal death rate in Mexico: from the perspective of idealism of development
https://revistas.udec.cl/index.php/ran/article/view/11794
<p><strong>Background: </strong>Reduction of maternal death rate is a Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in Mexico. <strong>Purpose:</strong> The purpose of this study is to ascertain if there is a relationship among maternal death rates and variables in the economic-social field (7), health-demographic (16), work (6), home (3) infrastructure and housing assets (8).</p> <p><strong>Material and method:</strong> three multiple linear regression models were estimated using data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI): Vital Statistics, Population and Housing Census and National Population Council (CONAPO).</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Expectation in schooling and postpartum care are variables that influence the rate of maternal death in Mexico. In statistical terms, the rate of maternal death could be reduced up to 15% if the number of women receiving postpartum care increased by one percentage point.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Mexico City exhibits the highest rate of maternal deaths. Even though modernization assumptions are widely spread in the city, and women would seek hospital care during pregnancy, childbirth or the postpartum period, the truth is that the healthcare system does not incorporate strategies to reduce the level of maternal mortality. Concrete actions rather than sole dissemination of knowledge, must be taken if Mexico is to comply with this SDG of UNO’s 2030 agenda. Which shows limitations of development idealism to explain maternal death, the mere dissemination of knowledge and values without a drive for concrete actions complicates the panorama. The above could hinder Mexico's compliance with the established goal of the SDGs established in the 2030 Agenda.</p>Yuliana RomanAlejandro Martinez-Espinosa
