La Centralidad del Trabajo en el Capitalismo Digital: Precarización, Alienación y Control Algorítmico desde la Perspectiva de Ricardo Antunes
This article examines the contemporary transformations of labor within the framework of digital capitalism, focusing on precarization, alienation, and new forms of algorithmic control. Drawing on the theoretical contributions of Ricardo Antunes, it presents a critical discussion that questions the continued relevance of labor as a central category for understanding dynamics of exploitation and accumulation in the digital age. Scholars such as Habermas, Zuboff, and Berardi enrich this debate by offering diverse perspectives that engage with Antunes’ thesis, contrasting the centrality of labor with new forms of technoscientific domination. Through a comprehensive theoretical analysis, the persistence and transformation of Antunes’ ideas are explored in a context of increasing digitalization, examining how labor organization and control technologies have been reconfigured. The study concludes that, far from representing a rupture, digital capitalism intensifies the inherent contradictions between capital and labor, consolidating labor exploitation through new modalities of precarization and control, thereby reinforcing the importance of labor as the core of capitalist dynamics.

ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INFLATION AND UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE PANDEMIC: THE CASE OF COLOMBIA
This research paper focuses on a preliminary analysis of the Phillips curve in the Colombian economy, with special emphasis on its validity during the pandemic period. For this purpose, a first economic modeling is proposed to examine the interaction between the key variables of the Phillips curve in the national context, such as inflation and unemployment. The main objective of the paper is to evaluate whether the traditional relationship between inflation and unemployment, which underlies the Phillips curve, is maintained or altered in a period of high economic stress such as the pandemic. Through this initial modeling, we seek to offer a clearer view of the behavior of these variables in Colombia and to provide a basis for future studies that delve deeper into this relationship. The conclusions presented in the paper are not definitive, but constitute initial reflections that seek to open the discussion on the applicability of the Phillips curve in crisis contexts such as the one experienced.

ORGANIZATIONAL TRUST: A THEORETICAL REVIEW
In today's organizational landscape, trust plays a pivotal role in business dynamics. The daily challenges companies face to achieve the expected results require an engaged and committed team with a deep sense of belonging, willing to cooperate in achieving those results. Organizational trust is a highly relevant factor in today’s organizations, regarded as an intangible asset that drives collaborative work, fosters a positive organizational climate, and contributes to the achievement of results. Organizational trust encompasses both interpersonal trust and relationship-based trust. In the academic field, there are still gaps in the understanding of this topic, which motivates the researchers to explore the following question: What are the main theoretical proposals on organizational trust? The method used for this research was based on bibliometric and content analysis of the literature on organizational trust. The bibliographic data was obtained from the Scopus database, which is the largest database of peer-reviewed literature abstracts and high-quality sources available on the web (Cañedo, Rodríguez & Montejo, 2010).

El diseño de un instrumento de investigación conlleva varios compromisos por parte de los investigadores, que abarcan desde la identificación de los criterios a incluir hasta la validación de la correlación entre los ítems del mismo. Este Working Paper presenta el proceso realizado para la creación de un instrumento destinado a evaluar los impactos del COVID-19 en la gestión organizacional y la innovación en los emprendimientos de estudiantes y egresados de la ECACEN. Para ello, se empleó una metodología inductiva, combinando enfoques cuantitativos y cualitativos. En una primera fase, se realizó una revisión teórica sobre temas relacionados con el diseño y validación de instrumentos, gestión organizacional e innovación. Con base en esta revisión, se establecieron criterios que guiaron la formulación de las preguntas del cuestionario, el cual fue validado por expertos y evaluado mediante el software SPSS para analizar la correlación entre los ítems. El resultado fue un instrumento compuesto por dos secciones: una destinada a la caracterización de los emprendimientos y otra con 18 ítems, algunos en escala Likert y otros con opciones de respuesta alineadas con los criterios previamente definidos. La validación del instrumento mediante el Alfa de Cronbach arrojó un valor de 0.71, lo que refleja una consistencia interna aceptable, aunque se sugirió ajustar algunas preguntas para mejorar su precisión. El diseño y validación de este instrumento representan una contribución significativa, ya que no solo permite captar información clave sobre la gestión organizacional e innovación durante la pandemia, sino que también ofrece una herramienta sólida para estudios futuros. El instrumento de investigación diseñado será de gran utilidad para acompañar a los emprendimientos en la implementación de estrategias que fortalezcan su capacidad de respuesta frente a desafíos similares como los enfrentados con el COVID_19.
Socially responsible supply chain and new technologies
The application of the value chain theory to the purchasing and supply process at IN&SA Ingeniería y Soluciones Ambientales SAS was carried out within the framework of the internship process developed, which allowed the reformulation of the mission principles and organizational chart, to coherently address the purchasing and supply aspects, to leave a document that provides future clarity in corporate management. This is how, additionally, the need to incorporate the principles of learning and organizational intelligence into the value chain in companies is analyzed, necessarily permeated by new technologies and the principles of corporate social responsibility, to generate competitiveness conditions adaptable to the needs of the business context. The supply chain must be in a permanent dynamic of change in organizations according to the advances of new technologies and the aspects of corporate social responsibility, which allow for maintaining the conditions of competitiveness regardless of the advances and innovations in the environment. To do this, the company must be in a permanent dynamic of adaptation, learning, training, and articulation of technologies, listening to the client's voice of the interest groups that comprise it. It is about a socially responsible and technologically supplied supply chain in a continuous dynamic of change and global adaptation, capable of assuming future challenges and taking advantage of emerging opportunities.
Constraints to the growth of the microenterprise sector in the district of Santa Marta
This project investigates the main obstacles that microenterprises in the District of Santa Marta will face, with the objective of identifying limitations and proposing strategies for their sustainable development and economic growth. Through a survey and a qualitative approach, it was found that these microenterprises face significant difficulties, such as limited access to financing, little training in business management, and low adoption of technology. These internal factors are aggravated by external conditions, such as inflation and inflexible government policies, which complicate their ability to operate efficiently and improve their competitiveness. It is concluded that the lack of financial support and adequate training are critical barriers that prevent the growth of these companies. The project recommends strengthening management training and promoting the adoption of new technologies to improve productivity. Likewise, it is essential that local institutions offer a favorable environment, through public policies that encourage digitalization and facilitate access to financial resources. Collaboration between entrepreneurs and institutions is key to overcoming barriers and ensuring sustainable development, which will allow microbusinesses in Santa Marta to play a more significant role in the regional economy.

Analysis of the administrative process and its validity
The administrative process is still in force in the strategic planning of organizations. For Henry Fayol, who was the first author to propose a comprehensive approach to managing an organization, management should be carried out through a series of key elements such as planning, organization, direction and control that every company should apply. Over time, the stages of the process have been analyzed in different academic and business areas. The authors have concluded that the stages of the administrative process are still in force, although with variations in more current concepts such as motivation and the ability to guide through participative leadership. This paper will mainly characterize the administrative process and its evolution, from the primary stages. Within the description of these stages, there are key factors for implementation in different organizational areas and its evolution over the years
Existential Humanism in Management: Ethical Transformations in Organizational Practice
This article examines the application of existential humanism to organizational management from a theoretical and critical perspective. The Montreal School adopts an approach to existential humanism that aims to demonstrate how organizations can transcend a purely business-oriented mindset to integrate key humanistic values such as authenticity, integrity, and personal fulfillment into their operational structure. Through a comprehensive review of the literature, this work analyzes the conceptual and practical challenges involved in implementing a model focused on human well-being, as opposed to traditional metrics of organizational performance and efficiency. It is argued that the genuine implementation of existential humanism in organizational management requires a radical shift in the way we conceive the meaning of work, the individual-organization relationship, and the ethical responsibility of the organization itself. The conclusion suggests that a truly humanistic approach not only responds to ethical imperatives but also has the potential to enhance internal cohesion and foster organizational innovation.

UNVEILING THE DUALITY OF LABOR FLEXIBILITY: A PATH TO FULFILLMENT OR PRECARITY
Exploring the current labor landscape, characterized by a shift towards flexibility and adaptability in the context of a globally interconnected economy through new information and communication technologies, unveils a complex reality. Anchored in a thorough critical review of emerging labor dynamics, this study unravels how the promise of greater freedom and self-management in work transforms into a scenario of precarity and vulnerability for workers. Adopting a qualitative approach, existing literature and specific cases within the labor panorama, especially in specific contexts such as Colombia, are analyzed to understand how labor flexibility practices intertwine with local and global socioeconomic structures. This methodological approach not only identifies but also comprehends the implications of labor flexibility beyond the surface, examining its effects on the daily lives of workers. The findings reveal an intrinsic duality in labor flexibility: on one hand, it is promoted as a strategy to enhance productivity and organizational efficiency, offering workers a supposed greater autonomy and job satisfaction. However, in practice, this flexibility translates into an intensification of work, an invasion of personal life by work demands, and a transfer of entrepreneurial risk to the worker, leaving them exposed to instability and economic uncertainty. This analysis demonstrates how, far from being a solution to contemporary work challenges, labor flexibility represents a central problem that requires critical examination. The conclusions point towards the need to rethink labor relations in search of a balance that respects the dignity of work and promotes sustainable human development, challenging the neoliberal premises underlying the logic of flexibility.
THE DYNAMICS OF DIVIDEND POLICY AND ITS IMPACT ON STOCK VALUE: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS
This article provides a detailed analysis of dividend policy and its impact on stock value, a key aspect of financial management. The methodology used in this study is a comprehensive theoretical review and critical analysis of existing literature. It examines and synthesizes key research and theories, including signaling theory and relevant empirical studies exploring the relationship between consistent dividend policies and the market value of stocks. The paper discusses how dividend decisions transcend their role as a mere distribution of profits, becoming a strategic tool that affects market perception and, consequently, the market value of stocks. This article challenges Modigliani and Miller's dividend irrelevance theory, arguing that in contemporary financial markets, strategic dividend management is crucial for corporate valuation. Through this methodological approach, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive and critical understanding of the importance of dividend policy in the current financial context
