INNOVACIÓN Y ESTRATEGIA
Es común escuchar acerca del desarrollo de modelos de negocios exitosos, innovadores y
disruptivos. Sin embargo, menor es el entendimiento que existe cuando se pregunta respecto a
la relación entre una innovación y la estrategia que implementa una empresa. Este curso
pretende avanzar en esta línea, al estudiar de qué manera las nuevas tecnologías en el
ámbito de innovaciones de producto y proceso pueden ayudar al establecimiento de
modelos de negocio más robustos y con mejores probabilidades de alcanzar una ventaja
competitiva sostenible en el tiempo.

INTELIGENCIA ORGANIZACIONAL
Desde su creación, la Informática Administrativa ha buscado apoyar el proceso de toma de
decisiones para una operación eficiente y eficaz en las organizaciones. El crecimiento de las
comunicaciones y la movilidad de las aplicaciones ha generado una cantidad exagerada de
información de la cual es difícil partir para discriminar lo importante y tomar decisiones
certeras. Las herramientas de inteligencia organizacional han evolucionado para permitir dar
seguimiento personalizado a consumidores e identificar patrones importantes en el desarrollo de
las actividades del mercado, facilitando respuestas ágiles a los cambios, por lo que es vital

MANAGEMENT & HUMAN RESOURCES
GERENCIA DE SERVICIOS
El sector terciario de los servicios representa -en la inmensa mayoría de los países- el sector
mayoritario en sus respectivas economías. De ahí la importancia de entender, caracterizar e
indagar sobre los retos de este sector. En este curso, después de realizar una taxonomía de los
diferentes tipos de servicio, se estudiarán las estrategias tanto estructurales como gerenciales
que permitan diseñar el servicio requerido. Se estudiarán las dimensiones de la calidad en
servicio y las condiciones para ofrecer garantía sobre el servicio prestado. Por último, se
aplicarán las técnicas “lean” al diseño de servicios y se revisarán los criterios claves de aquellas

MODELOS DE PREVISIÓN DE NEGOCIOS
Los dirigentes al interior de las empresas están confrontados a tomar decisiones del tipo:
estimar la demanda de productos o servicios, gestión eficaz de stocks, estimar la capacidad
de producción para el lanzamiento de un nuevo producto o definir la fuerza de ventas. Este
curso tiene por objetivo ofrecer respuestas a estas preguntas a través de la presentación y
desarrollo de los métodos de promedios móviles, el método de Winter para ventas que siguen
un patrón estacional y por el método de Box & Jenkins. Al finalizar el curso cada participante

Paradoxically, these so-called irrational reactions are quite normal if organizations, people and
Professor:
change processes are understood. Peter Senge describes it in a catchy way with “people do not

resist change, they resist to be changed”. It is essential that managers start to learn this, if they
want to become effective change agents.
In the course, you will be introduced to the amazing world of “irrational behaviors” in
organizations. You will get the opportunity to learn and experience different change
approaches based on the “colored change” theory. It helps you as a change agent to
develop chameleon change competencies. And, you will get the opportunity to learn about
leadership and to assess your leadership style. These learnings will help you to develop more
effective organizational change capabilities; especially, as continuous change is becoming the
rule rather than the exception in most organizations. Furthermore, you will be challenged to
apply the learned insights to your own organizational reality.

ADVERTISING MANAGEMENT
The objective of this course is to introduce the key concepts, theories and methodologies
relating to the world of advertising. We will adopt a perspective that will blend historical,
theoretical, practical and critical aspects of advertising, media, marketing communications
and branding. We will cover the basics of strategic planning, creativity, communication, media
planning, and advertising effectiveness measurement. But we will also specifically address
topics that influence advertising practices, such as changes in the media landscape, changes in
consumer habits and scrutiny, changes in technologies, and changes in the society. We will

BRANDING
Participants will learn the power of brands, the elements of brand meaning and identity, and
how to design, build, and leverage brands. Brand examples across many industries and product
categories as well as interactive exercises will be used to reinforce specific concepts. You’ll
learn why strong brands are critical to success. We will study brand architecture, identity
standards, and brand assets to build strong brands. Participants will learn to apply the brand
management process including positioning, differentiation, and equity building. In almost every
industry, strong brands sell more, earn more, and last longer. This course covers the creation and Professor:

DIGITAL MARKETING
Consumer Behavior is changing with the advent of internet. Consumers search on internet to
find out more information about products and services whose advertisements they have seen
on television or print. Whereas traditional mass media is ‘push,’ search is a ‘pull’ based medium.
Consumers actively seek information about products or services that they desire. Hence search
engine marketing (SEM) captures the ‘interest’ and ‘intent’ of consumers. This is what makes
digital marketing so powerful. Since it captures intent, the conversion rates of search engine
marketing are much higher than any other form of digital media such as social media. Professor:
Don't have big budgets to lavish on advertising? Do search advertising with a fraction of budget! Seema Gupta, Ph. D.
Run live campaigns! Work on Google Ads!

VISUAL COMMUNICATION
We are exposed to thousands of visual messages on a daily basis (via social media, television,
billboards, magazines, internet sites, product packaging, road signs etc.). Although we learn at
school how to read text, we don’t usually learn anything about how to read images. The
objective of this course is to introduce the key concepts, theories and methodologies relating to
the recently developed field of Visual Communication. Research into this area draws on several
exciting disciplines such as: vision sciences, cognitive psychology, social psychology, graphics
and design principles, semiotics, visual rhetoric, film analysis, media aesthetics, cultural studies

and anthropology. Upon completion of this module, students will understand how people see,

They will also be able to analyse and interpret visual images themselves. In an era when
communication has shifted away from written modes to more visual ones, it is important to know
how to analyse, interpret and understand the visual world around us.

ESTRATEGIAS DE RESPONSABILIDAD SOCIAL Y CREACIÓN DE VALOR
La estrategia de responsabilidad social empresarial y creación de valor, aparece como el
centro del discurso empresarial y social a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y toma
relevancia en este siglo. En un mundo en crisis de sustentabilidad, y de recurrentes crisis sociales
ocasionadas en parte por una inadecuada gestión de los impactos y los valores de la empresa,
las empresas se ven obligadas a la adaptación inmediata de su modelo de negocio, a los
factores sustentables y de valor compartido con la sociedad. Esto permite generar modelos de
negocios inclusivos en donde los beneficios alcancen a los diferentes grupos de interés de la

eficaces, hace falta una correcta interpretación de los escenarios y necesidades de los grupos
de interés, una visión de cuidado con los impactos, y un análisis de las capacidades y recursos
externos precisas. Para ello es necesario el desarrollo de un sistema de gestión sustentable
desde una perspectiva estratégica que se inserte dentro del denominado ciclo estratégico, y
que de valor a los diferentes grupos de interés con los que interactúa la empresa.

LEAN THINKING
Las exitosas técnicas japonesas introducidas en las últimas décadas se han consolidado en lo
que se conoce hoy en día como estrategias “lean” o pensamiento esbelto. En este curso se
presentarán tanto las prácticas (Kaizen, JIT, Kanban, TPM, SMED, Poka Yoke, 5 S) como los
principios (valor, cadena de valor, flujo, halado, perfección) que rigen esta metodología,
haciendo uso de casos prácticos (HP, Zara, Southwest Airlines) donde estas técnicas han
permitido mejorar la eficiencia y eficacia de las empresas. Mediante un caso vivencial
desarrollado en el aula, se estudiarán los retos de implantación de estas técnicas.

SUSTAINABILITY AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: RETHINKING VALUE CREATION
Sustainability is one of the key issues of today society. A quoted definition of sustainability and
sustainable development is “sustainable development is development that meets the needs of
the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.
Such a definition leads to the three pillars of sustainability, that are the economical, social and
environmental dimensions. The concept of sustainability is therefore close to the concept of
“quality of life”. In this context, businesses that are often referred as part of the problem, can be
part of the solution. As a consequence, policy makers, industry leaders, society and academics
with different backgrounds are dealing with sustainability trying to understand how this affects Professor:
