Venezuela en la mente del empresario

Por estos días en medio de la crisis política y económica, y en donde la atención de los medios de comunicación internacionales ha estado muy enfocada a la situación de Venezuela, han ocurrido importantes encuentros internacionales en los que la economía y la innovación han sido centro de la discusión en el escenario global y en donde América Latina, en algunos casos más y en algunos menos, también ha sido un contexto geográfico analizado dado su potencial económico. Se ha observado incluso, cómo de forma natural se habla de la economía, de la inversión y la productividad en los países de América del Sur, obviando la realidad política que allí existe, como si esto fuese una realidad ajena a los empresarios e inversionistas. Sobre Venezuela, desde la perspectiva del empresario, no se dice mucho más, que la existencia de una crisis económica y política; y la existencia de una situación inestable e irregular. Diera la impresión de que se tratara tan solo de una anormalidad política de esas que recurrentemente se presentan.
