- PublicationAssessing food retail competitors with a multi-criteria GIS-based method(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-06-28) Roig-Tierno, Norat; Baviera Puig, Maria Amparo; Buitrago-Vera, Juan; Escribá Pérez, Carmen; Facultad de Administración y Dirección de Empresas; Dpto. de Economía y Ciencias Sociales[EN] Given the importance of competition in the retail sector, this research builds on spatial interaction theory to develop the competition index (CI). For this, geographic information systems (GIS) and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) were used. AHP results reveal that key factors to assess competitors relate to location and branding. The proposed method was tested by evaluating 45 supermarkets in the city of Castellón (Spain). Using this method, sales targets can be adapted to each outlet’s individual circumstances.
- PublicationEco-efficiency measurement in agricultural production. A case study on citrus fruits production(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2011-10-14) Ribal Sanchis, Francisco Javier; Sanjuán, Neus; Clemente, Gabriela; Fenollosa, María Loreto; Centro de Investigación en Gestión de Empresas (CEGEA); Facultad de Administración y Dirección de Empresas; Dpto. de Economía y Ciencias Sociales; Centro de Investigación de Ingeniería Económica[EN] The eco-efficiency can be defined by using the “economic value/environmental impacts” ratio. In this study the eco-efficiency of orange production in the Comunidad Valenciana was assessed. 24 scenarios of orange production were built regarding their agricultural practices. For every scenario the environmental impacts were assessed by means of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as well as the economic value added. The results have been referred to 1 kg oranges. The integration of the economic and environmental assessments was made through Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Among the scenarios scored as eco-efficient, those with organic
- PublicationExpansion strategies of Spanish food retailers(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-18) Roig-Tierno, Norat; Baviera Puig, Maria Amparo; Buitrago-Vera, Juan; Facultad de Administración y Dirección de Empresas; Dpto. de Economía y Ciencias Sociales[EN] The study of evolutionary economic geography receives more interest each time. The aim of this paper is to analyze the different strategies of expansion or geographic growth followed by major brands of Spanish food retailers. To do this, tools of spatial analysis are provided as the dissemination of retail chains across space is a dynamic process. From these analyses, we can compare the different expan-sion or geographic growth strategies of the Spanish food retailers, as well as facilitate business decision making process
- PublicationFinancial structure and business achievement in agricultural cooperatives: an empirical approach(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-11-26) Lajara de Camilleri, Natalia; Mateos Ronco, Alicia María; Centro de Investigación en Gestión de Empresas (CEGEA); Facultad de Administración y Dirección de Empresas; Dpto. de Economía y Ciencias Sociales; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Agronómica y del Medio Natural; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación[EN] This paper analyzes the economic and financial information of a sample of Spanish agricultural co-operatives in order to identify the variables that determine the nature and composition of its financial structure. A new variable named “business achievement” has been defined using the statistical technique of principal component analysis (PCA); this, and other ratios, have been used in the regression models. Results show no relationship between financial structure and “business achievement”, but they support the Pecking order theory, thus validating the hypothesis that, in absence of self-financing, the prevalent funding sources in agricultural cooperatives are debt and capitalization. Also, in line with the Agency theory, it has been shown that in these entities growths in sales, and therefore cash flow generation, lead to higher short-term debt, while the use of long-term debt decreases.
- PublicationImpact of association agreements on fruits and vegetables Mediterranean trade(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2007) Martí Selva, María Luisa; García Alvarez-Coque, José María; Facultad de Administración y Dirección de Empresas; Dpto. de Economía y Ciencias Sociales; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Agronómica y del Medio Natural; Grupo de Investigación de Economía Internacional y Desarrollo; European Commission[EN] The aim of this research is to discuss a different way to represent the influence of Association Agreements on the agricultural trade between Southern Mediterranean Countries and the European Union in the period 1995-2004. A yearly analysis makes it possible to study trade changes after the Association Agreement between European Union and Southern Mediterranean Countries. For assessment of the Association Agreements, groups of countries with different treatment granted by the EU can separately considered. For these purposes, a gravity model approach could be of help, in particular for differentiated products such as fruits and vegetables.
- PublicationNon-parametric contrasts of fundamental multiples and stock multiples of European food companies(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-06-26) Vidal, Raül; Ribal Sanchis, Francisco Javier; Centro de Investigación en Gestión de Empresas (CEGEA); Facultad de Administración y Dirección de Empresas; Dpto. de Economía y Ciencias Sociales; Centro de Investigación de Ingeniería Económica[EN] The food industry is made up of small and medium-sized companies causing the valuation multiples to be scarce. In this study fundamental valuation models are applied to food companies listed in the European markets, so as to contrast whether the calculated multiples statistically differ from the stock multiples and find out if these models could be in SMEs. Taking into account that multiples are not nor-mally distributed, several non-parametric statistical tests have been used showing that in 40 to 60 % of cases it cannot be stated that the fundamental multiples are statistically different from the stock multiples
- PublicationPropuesta metodológica mediante ANP para la evaluación de las memorias de sostenibilidad del sector agroalimentario español(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-07-02) Baviera Puig, Maria Amparo; García Martínez, Gabriel; Gómez Navarro, Tomás; Centro de Investigación en Gestión de Empresas (CEGEA); Facultad de Administración y Dirección de Empresas; Dpto. de Proyectos de Ingeniería; Dpto. de Economía y Ciencias Sociales; Instituto Universitario de Investigación de Ingeniería Energética; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Industrial; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Agronómica y del Medio Natural[EN] Sustainability reports are jointly used as a communication tool of CSR and accountability to all stakeholders and society. However, they receive heavy criticism on both fronts. In light of the im-portance of this practice, a methodology for assessing the communication capabilities of the sustainability reports of companies in the Spanish food sector is developed using the Analytical Network Process (ANP). The results allow identifying weaknesses and opportunities for improvement of these reports, as well as of the relationship of the company with their respective stakeholders
- PublicationValuation models in an uncertainty environment(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2004) Aznar Bellver, Jerónimo; Guijarro Martínez, Francisco; Facultad de Administración y Dirección de Empresas; Dpto. de Economía y Ciencias Sociales; Instituto Universitario de Matemática Pura y Aplicada[EN] This work presents different uncertainty valuation models that combine precise and imprecise information. We have extended the basic goal programming technique to models that enable handling intervals in the price or exogenous variables expressions, and state some propositions which are able to inform about the accuracy between observed and estimated values. Furthermore, an accuracy index for model comparison is introduced.
