Vol. 3 No. 1 (2023): Thematic Diversity and Openness to Transdisciplinary Knowledge
The dynamics of economic and administrative science today do not allow for isolation. On the contrary, they demand a perspective capable of integrating geographically distant realities, complex social challenges, and innovative methodologies. The 2023 edition of the journal ESTRATEGIA embodies this spirit of openness, establishing itself as a space where research transcends borders and disciplines to offer relevant solutions to the challenges of our time.
In this issue, the international dimension gains relevance through a study of training needs in Piura's financial sector, Peru. This work not only provides a comparative perspective on human talent management in the Andean region but also reinforces the idea that intellectual capital is the most critical asset in modern banking. Complementing this managerial vision, we delve into the national reality by analyzing the control environment in companies navigating Colombia's post-conflict period. This article is essential for understanding how organizations must adapt their governance systems in a context of social transition, where transparency and security become pillars of sustainability.
Pure theory also has its place. We revisit, in greater depth, the debate on wages, employment, demand, and production, analyzing the antagonistic approaches that continue to divide academia but remain essential for understanding current macroeconomic policy. Likewise, this edition dares to explore territories rarely addressed by traditional management through an innovative article on experiential marketing in the non-profit sector focused on mental health, demonstrating that market tools can and should serve social causes with profound human sensitivity.
Finally, we reaffirm our commitment to the territory. We present a detailed investigation into the evolution of preschool education in Montería (2002–2013). Understanding the foundation of our city’s educational system is key to understanding the basis of our future economic and social development.
From the Faculty of Economic, Administrative, and Accounting Sciences of Universidad del Sinú, we celebrate this edition, which is, in essence, a bridge between the global and the local, between rigorous theory and transformative practice.
