Análisis del proceso operacional de la empresa coreana Kía Motors para la importación de vehículos en el Ecuador.

Abstract

The vehicle’s import in Ecuador has been increasing during recent years, due to elimination of certain tariff and non-tariff barriers that occurred at the beginning of 2017, as well as thanks to the signing of the agreement with the European Union. Although it is worth mentioning that most of the vehicles that are imported into Ecuador are of Asian origin. The purpose of this study is to determine the operational process that the Korean company K-motors must perfom to import vehicles into Ecuador. Accurate and relevant data were obtained from the research performed which may be used by importers, researchers, students or any person who develops in the field of international trade, so that they can have a clearer guide or perspective of the operational process that must be carried out for the importation of vehicles. In relation to the theoretical framework of the present investigation, studies carried out by experts and published in specialized journals such as Redalyc, scielo, as well as information from web pages and other media were taken as sources of information, on the other hand, were also exposed certain statistics on import of vehicles obtained from the trade statistics portal for the international development of Trademap companies. The methodology used in the research is the exploratory one, since information from texts, web pages and specialized journals was used, which allowed us to have a good quality of theme and theoretical foundation.
