HACCP is a recognized worldwide as the most effective managing system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological (microbes & toxins), chemical, and physical hazards in food manufacturing, storage, distribution, and consumers consumption. Although biological contamination of food can lead to health hazard to consumers or even death in addition to financial losses, also chemical and physical contamination of foods are also health hazard to consumers and must be controlled as in the case of food biological contamination. Implementation of HACCP system in a food organization means control over stages of food manufacturing from raw materials, processing, storage, distribution, to consumers handling in order to ensure food safety for consumption. This proactive system of HACCP as a mean of controlling all aspects of food safety, has made this system desirable to food manufacturing , retails, food service and to worldwide food regulation agencies. HACCP systems are currently implemented internationally in all food operations to build food safety for agricultural production, food manufacturing, retail, and food service.
Las circunstancias del entorno actual han requerido una continua adaptación y ajuste en las formas de gestionar los negocios, de ahí que en este trabajo el objetivo sea reflexionar en torno al cambio en la gestión organizacional, pasando de una gestión científica a una gestión integral de riesgos, esta ultima como un nuevo enfoque de gestión emergente, y por tanto, como una línea de investigación futura con especial referencia a las aportaciones que pudieran realizarse desde el campo de la gestión y administración. Para tal efecto, este trabajo se apoya en una metodología descriptivadocumental con base en la revisión de la literatura. Los resultados reflejan el impacto de diferentes motores de cambio, entre los que resaltan avances tecnológicos y sucesos económicos, así como condiciones externas que ha demandado la gestión integral de riesgos en las organizaciones. La adopción e implementación de la gestión integral de riesgos constituyen un eje clave para la práctica profesional, pues ha dado lugar a crear nuevas posiciones en las empresas y nuevos servicios de consultoría. Asimismo, para las universidades pues supone una nueva área de conocimiento en las aulas y nuevos intereses en la investigación.

La propuesta es el resultado del estudio y análisis estadístico de más de 80 procedimientos de mejora encontrados en la literatura, su aplicación parcial por más de 10 años en, al menos, 40 empresas de manufactura y servicio y la inserción de un conjunto de herramientas estadísticas y criterios de decisión que ayudan a su fundamentación científica, a la vez que a la reducción del tiempo de su aplicación. Por otra parte, se logra una exhaustiva representación de los procesos que contribuye a la implementación e integración de los sistemas de gestión asociados a las Normas ISO. Palabras clave: Procedimiento de mejora, mejora de procesos, alineamiento. ABSTRACT The research proposes a procedure for process improvement that focuses its goal on achieving customer focus, strategic alignment and continuous improvement. The proposal is the result of the study and statistical analysis of more than 80 improvement procedures found in the literature, its partial application for more than 10 years in at least 40 manufacturing and service companies and the insertion of a set of statistical tools and criteria of decision that help to its scientific foundation, as well as to the reduction of the time of its application. On the other hand, the exhaustive representation of the processes that are achieved with its application contributes to the implementation and integration of the management systems associated with ISO standards.
This paper investigates the factors that influence strategy execution in service organisations within both public and private sectors. The successful execution of the strategy is the key survival asset of the organisation. Many organisations could not maintain their competitive advantages, in spite of the existing process of drafting a strong
strategy, due to lack of achievement in the strategy implementation stage. Leaders and top management of organisations must pay more attention to strategy implementation due to the higher failure rates that occur at this stage. For that, successful strategy implementation requires a better understanding of the relevant influencing factors that dictate that implementation’s outcomes. The existing literature does not provide a rigorous and structured conceptualisation of these factors, or their influence on strategy implementation. Accordingly, we precisely explored the mechanisms and interdependent abilities of such factors and their impact to address the gap. In addition, this paper presents many factors, which usually are neglected and cause failure or effect on the
efficiency severity industry. This article also shows how some factors are more important in certain industry and less important in other industry in the Middle East.
In Ecuador, businesses run by entrepreneurs, and micro enterprises generate jobs. However, they have been increasingly closed down since 2010 with them being less than five years in operation. Apart from that, young people try to get a job mostly by starting a business without knowing whether they have or not the competencies necessary to this. In this respect this work has the goal of determining what competencies entrepreneurs should have, and what factors give impetus to or hinder business creation in Ecuador. In order to achieve it, a set of seven procedures in 15 steps was employed. The Delphi method, Kendall rank correlation coefficient, questionnaires, and descriptive statistics were also used. Ten competencies were determined with all of them having three to ten indicators. Entrepreneurs who were running a business in the grocery store sector in the city of Ambato, and the ones who weren´t any more, were tested for the competencies. The entrepreneurial competency index was calculated. Finally, factors in business success and failure were examined.

The integration of Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study with the Decision-Matrix Risk Assessment (DMRA) technique and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as well, is proposed as a new framework for identifying critical points and potential hazards and also prioritizing risks, in industry. Therefore, the objective of this article is the development and application of the extended HAZOP-DMRA-AHP approach (E-HAZOP) in process industries. Initially, the application of the conventional HAZOP study is performed (as a case study) in a sour crude-oil processing-plant in order to identify the possible fault causes of abnormal conditions (deviations) in the plant. With the results of the HAZOP study on the one hand, and the usage of the DMRA risk assessment technique for assessing the risks, on the other side, the typical AHP process is then introduced, in order to extend HAZOP analysis by prioritizing the risks in the worksite of the plant. The proposed E-HAZOP framework can provide a trustworthy basis to boost process safety and improve occupational health and safety. Moreover, it could be a useful tool for the decision makers to estimate the emergency of investing constrained budget in actions preventing specific kind of deviations.
