The Socio-Economic-Business Research Group (GISEE for its acronym in Spanish) was created in 2014 in the city of Guayaquil in order to provide timely information for academic, business and social use through scientific research of different socio economic realities nationwide. The group mainly uses a quantitative approach, but does not rule out qualitative and mixed research, seeking to validate different theoretical models that aim to explain the reality of a certain sector / industry / company at the national level, through statistics.

It is a multidisciplinary group. However, its main research area is Social Sciences and economic activities and administration, which constitute the fundamental but not unique perspectives for research.
