Del theories: an alternative for management development in quindío region

Abstract

The aim of this article is to contrast the economic and organizational characteristics of the actors involved in management of development in Quindío Region under the principles proposed by the Theory of Local Economic Development (LED). An analytical empirical approach was used to conduct the study where a series of economic, social and political phenomena were identified and analyzed showing the causes and consequences and their relation to development in the region. It can be highlighted that individual interests and the search for leading roles of some of the agents and actors, the low participation of society, the ignorance of some individuals with power of decision regarding the local problematic, are some of the factors showed in the region that don´t allow the generation of more efficient dynamics. This analysis led to propose alternatives from the LED Theory point of view as an alternative to energize the region. The development of this work allowed acknowledging some economic and social dynamics with not satisfactory results and lowing impact concluding that the role played by the actors who manage the region development is inefficient, their objectives ae not clear, therefore, the economic policy model being used is not adequate to the current Region potentiality and endogenous resources.
