El gerente y la cultura de las empresas en el Paraguay
(Universidad ESAN. ESAN Ediciones, 1992-09-30) García de Benavides, Consuelo
It gives an approach about management, its styles and the culture of Latin American companies – topics dealt with sparsely and marginally – from Paraguay’s case which country is unique to the rest of the continent. The basic hypothesis is that the social system significantly influences the companies and those who work in it, shaping a style of management and culture typical of those companies and with which their identity is formed. The research, exploratory, was conducted based on three observation elements: in-depth interview, opinion interview and Paraguayan history. It was possible to prove the validity of the theoretical model developed and it was found that the culture of the company is the result of social, economic, political and cultural development and the predominant archetypal dynamics in society and not the simple statement of values and beliefs divorced from the conditions that create the forms of organization. Paraguayan companies were also found to be characterized by traditional management styles and paternalism; their managers believe that managing means applying classic management models, which prevents them from generating their own models that take advantage of the potentials of society and culture.

Laboratorios Senosiain S.A. de C.V.: primero la familia y después el negocio
(Universidad ESAN. ESAN Ediciones, 1992-09-30) Espinosa Gamboa, Emilio L.
The present case is about the evolution of a family business whose beginning dates back to the early XX century. Having been a modest provincial pharmacy, over the years it became one of the most important pharmaceutical laboratories in Mexico. The main objective of the case is to detect the business strategy that has prevailed in each of the stages corresponding to the three generations of the Senosiain family and to explore how the strategy, both familiar and business, could be modified as a vision for the future, thinking about the imminent maturity of the next generation, and considering the profound changes that could occur in the environment, both national and international. In addition, it is worth highlighting the value of the strategic definition of a company, rebuilding and analyzing its tradition and its historical development as additional elements to evaluate its forces, weaknesses, values, among others. This case may also be suitable for discussing and analyzing the peculiar problems and characteristics of family businesses.
