Editorial Introduction
I would like to start
the text by apologizing for not responding to emails, as I am away due to
health issues and did not have support to keep the system up to date. I have
been working to return as soon as possible, but I still suffer a little from
the ups and downs of my health.
I am currently trying
to seek support from institutions that can help me with the support of
financial and human resources, so that I can go back and maintain the standard
that I struggled so hard to build and currently cannot maintain.
This issue of the Independent
Journal of Management & production (IJM&P) features a
selection of articles submitted and revised until April 2019. Observe the works
are the fruit of research and publications of undergraduate, postgraduate and
entrepreneurs.

important to mention that all the works are showed without any kind of payment.
All of them are published free from payments or taxes.
The publication also
counts on the work of researchers from various parts of the world, which have
undergone a process of peer review.
As chief editor of IJM&P,
I am indebted to all members of the editorial board and reviewers, which
contributed to achieve a very decent job during the evaluation and revision.
Moreover, that they have contributed to the Journal in recognition of the
international scientific community.
