Fractales, economía y empresas

No es novedoso afirmar que la geometría fractal ha ganado un amplio espacio en las décadas más recientes y que sus aplicaciones han ido en aumento, justamente el ámbito de las ciencias económicas se halla incluido dentro de esta afirmación.Este trabajo busca establecer las posibilidades de aplicación de la geometría fractal a la economía, organización y administración de empresas, analizando la factibilidad de las mismasNo new claim that fractal geometry has gained much space in recent decades and its applications have been increasing, just the field of economics is included in this statement.This paper seeks to establish the applicability of fractal geometry to economics, business administration and organization, analyzing the feasibility of the same

Los fractales y el diseño en las construcciones

En las décadas más recientes, la geometría fractal se ha sumado a la geometría clásica de Euclides de Alejandría, siendo considerada por arquitectos de todo el mundo en sus propuestas y creaciones.En este trabajo se busca establecer una relación entre la geometría fractal y el diseño arquitectónico de una manera informativa, sin detalles matemáticos más que los puntos esenciales, necesarios para su entendimiento y correcta interpretaciónIn recent decades, fractal geometry has joined classical geometry of Euclid of Alexandria, being considered by architects from around the world in their proposals and creations.This paper seeks to establish a relationship between fractal geometry and architectural design of a informational way, without mathematical details, only the essentials points necessary for correct understanding and interpretation

Ernst & Young’s Attempt to Split Accounting and Consulting Services: An Unsuccessful Endeavor

This paper aims to address the reasons why Ernst & Young attempted to split their auditing and consulting services, the reasons why the split failed to materialize, and the resulting consequences. Research for the paper involved a literature review of relevant articles and subsequent discussion. This paper concludes that the attempted split was motivated by regulatory concerns regarding auditor independence and profitability gaps between assurance and consulting. This paper also concludes that the split was unsuccessful due to unfavorable economic conditions and the mechanics of partner compensation
