The largest and most successful companies in the world have not always been that way. The challenges they have faced in order to become what they are today may have been countless. In contrast, while many companies have achieved significant levels of growth, they have not all been able to maintain their success in the long term, even to the point of starting to fail. This Thesis provides a conceptual framework that tends to explain the effect of CE that encompass I and SR on BP in Colombian companies, so the lack of CE, I and SR moderated by size of and sector/industry, might lead the Colombian companies to BF or OD. The research was developed using the information provided by regulatory entities in Colombia. The information gathered included both financial and managerial information submitted to the Colombian Superintendency of Corporations by companies that have entered into the restru...

La economía colombiana se ha caracterizado por tener una dependencia de bienes primarios, en especial la minería y los hidrocarburos, como principales aportantes del producto interno bruto. Producto de ello se ha potencializado la desindustrialización (i.e., bienes secundarios) y en materia de servicios (i.e., bienes terciarios), y los avances han sido tímidos. En tal sentido, el País merece cambios disruptivos que conlleven a equilibrar la generación de su producto interno y deje de lado la dependencia de las materias primas como principal generador de insumos en su presupuesto nacional. Para poder lograr que la producción nacional sea competitiva, no solo para el consumo interno sino para el internacional es necesario que el País construya una red de transporte de carga con precios asequibles para los productores. Es por ello, que el Sector Ferroviario de Carga para Colombia em...
