Desarrollo sostenible y fortalecimiento organizacional de la Asociación Bolívar Tello Cano del cantón Zapotillo a través de la aplicación de un Modelo Bioeconómico del Palo santo (Bursera graveolens).

Abstract

Abstract: This research was carried out at the Bolívar Tello Cano Association, located in the south of Ecuador in the canton Zapotillo, province of Loja. This association is dedicated to the extraction and production of the essential oil of the palo santo.Without information about its organizational state and a value-generating production, it was necessary to develop the diagnosis of the Organizational State Valuation (VEO), and a plan to use the palo santo based on the three elements of sustainability: environment, society and economy. The results of the evaluation of the organizational state reflect that the organizational situation of the association is precarious due to the low performance of its axes: Human Development, Business and Services, Management and Administration, Heritage, Democracy and Participation.
