BUSINESS & ENTREPRENEURSHIP

ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND EMERGING BUSINESS MODELS


Entrepreneurship is a pattern of behaviour that enables us to recognise, evaluate and exploit
opportunities starting from the resources we currently control (at least our ownknowledge or
network) and quickly building more value from that and beyond that. The mission the
entrepreneur embarks on, is both, complex and challenging as he/she constantly has to make
decisions under high uncertainty. Opportunities are fleeting and often difficult to evaluate,
customers are fickle or unaware, resources are scarce and there exists the ever present threat
of competition. In this harsh commercial enviroment the entrepreneur needs to be flexible, but
proceed with caution. He/she needs intuition and selfconfidence, but it is equally important to Professor:
Paolo Taticchi, Ph. D.
recognise that noone can achieve great things alone and that reality can rarely be captured
accurately on a first impression. The objective of this course is to guide students through the
exciting challenge of successfully taking an idea or a technology to market.

de innovaciones en el Medio de la Pirámide en distintos países de America Latina y en
diferentes industrias que han mostrado atacar efectivamente a dicho segmento. Professor:

emprendedor, cuál es su estilo predominante de pensamiento, su nivel de inteligencia
emocional, sus aptitudes y habilidades para emprender. Posteriormente, tomará como eje las
tendencias mundiales del consumidor para el desarrollo de una propuesta, y se familiarizará

INNOVATION & IT

INNOVACIÓN EN MODELOS ABIERTOS DE NEGOCIO


Los participantes serán capaces de impulsar y participar activamente en procesos de rediseño
e innovación en modelos de negocios basados en el cambio de paradigma de modelos
cerrados a abiertos. El éxito de empresas establecidas y nuevos emprendimientos se explica,
en muchos casos, por una mirada distinta del modelo de negocio más que por una innovación
tecnológica disruptiva. Estos modelos se diseñan rompiendo con paradigmas sobre los limites
clásicos de una “empresa del sector”. Trabajamos con una metodología participativa, tanto
en discusión de ejemplos y casos como en el taller de innovación basado en design thinking.
Los participantes, en grupos, deberán aplicar los conceptos a una situación real de sus Professor:

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

SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODELLING IN THE ERA OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE


This course aims at discussing the economic, managerial, societal and ethical challenges of
business modelling in a moment where artificial intelligence becomes more real than ever
revealing both one of the most promising technological endeavours of human history and at
the same time one of the biggest challenges mankind ever faced. By quoting examples from
different industries and geographies, a dynamic discussion on today’s disrupting business
models will be conducted to assess the strategic, long-term, and societal impacts of these and
possible solutions to overcome the most compelling threats.

El advenimiento de Internet y el abaratamiento de las tecnologías de información,
promoviendo su disponibilidad en todo momento y lugar, han transformado las diferentes
maneras en que la sociedad se desenvuelve. Este curso aborda y analiza el impacto de la
tecnología en la transformación de la sociedad en los ámbitos familiar, laboral, político,
comercial y educativo. Se identifican las nuevas reglas de interacción, además de los riesgos y
oportunidades que emergen. Finalmente, se establecen rutas de acción para aprovechar las
tecnologías como herramientas para un cambio social y económico positivo e intencional.

DESTREZAS CRÍTICAS PARA EL LIDERAZGO EFECTIVO


En este curso revisaremos lo que literatura considera las destrezas críticas de un líder: influenciar
a otros, motivar a terceros, y tomar decisiones racionales. El curso inicia con una revisión
teórica de las destrezas que permita un mejor entendimiento de cada una de ellas. Luego, el
curso recurre a una variedad de actividades académicas (e.g., casos) y vivenciales que
permitan evaluar, de forma cuantitativa, las fortalezas y debilidades de los participantes con
relación a cada destreza. Finalmente, la evaluación se utilizará para identificar mecanismos
que permitan avanzar las destrezas gerenciales de los participantes.

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

ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE: THE CHAMELEON WAY


How to change your organization effectively? And, how to do this by energizing people instead of
turning them against necessary changes in your organization? If you are interested in this, the
course on “Organizational Change: The Chameleon Way” suits you well.
Changes in organizations unleash various reactions; reactions which are often labeled as
“irrational” as they trigger levels of resistance that make changes complex and difficult.

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
Mark Govers, Ph. D.
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.

INTERNATIONAL MARKETING: CATCHING THE GROWTH WAVE IN EMERGING COUNTRIES


This course provides an overview of the main marketing management concepts and practices
in today’s fast developing economies with a special focus on Africa, Latin America and Asia.
Marketing is the business function that draws the majority of public scrutiny and concern with
regard to internationalization and the course should give participants a sense of the complexity
of international decision-making in the emerging countries context.
Participants will learn how to scan the environment, perform market studies, evaluate buyer and
consumer behaviour, launch new products, and choose a coherent marketing-mix strategy in the Professor:
context of emerging countries. Claude Chailan, Ph. D.
Particular emphasis will be made on the following issues: Emerging countries’ business models,

setting.

LUXURY BRANDS STRATEGY


This course explores the specificities of marketing in the luxury sector. Since brands are
intangible assets, creating and nurturing a strong brand is always a challenge. This is particularly
true for luxury goods markets, where brand identity and image have a dramatic impact on
customers’ purchasing decisions. The course combines the most recent luxury brand
management knowledge with practical application and develops a framework for
understanding the key components of luxury marketing. Participants will learn how to manage
luxury brand assets and equity by controlling a brand and communicating its advantages. Professor:
The course is structured around three main dimensions: (a) It first provides an overview of luxury Claude Chailan, Ph. D.
brand management, starting from history, brand functions and the specificities of luxury brand
equity; (b) It then delivers a set of tools for effective luxury brand management; (c) Finally, the
course focuses on the challenges faced by the luxury industry from a societal perspective and
discusses current luxury marketing issues.

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING


Social media has helped give consumers a voice, connect them with their friends and other
like-minded consumers, and has given them considerable power over marketers and brands.
The course will give perspectives on how consumers are shaping the brand along with
marketers. Social media has also impacted the marketing mix. Marketers are using crowd
sourcing to discover new product ideas, providing customer service through social media
channels and allowing consumers to set prices. The course will give an overview of how social
media is also transforming organizations by altering the relationship between various functions. Professor:
Marketing is spending more on technology than the IT function of the organization. Some Seema Gupta, Ph. D.
operations such as call centers for customer service are being reassigned to social media and
are hence coming under the scope of marketing. Social media offers network effects, which
has the potential to spread an idea exponentially. The course will equip students with the
relevant knowledge, perspectives, and practical skills required to develop strategies that
leverage the opportunities inherent in social media for achieving business and marketing goals.
Students will be able to understand the strengths and weaknesses of different social media
platforms and choose the ones that match the marketing objectives and measure the
effectiveness.

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

how to analyse, interpret and understand the visual world around us.

DESIGNING MODERN ORGANIZATIONS


It is striking to see that many organizations are in the so-called vicious circle of bureaucratization,
even when they are looking for agile alternatives to resolve its negative effects. We will start with a
business game to understand on the one hand the problems of bureaucratization in organizations,
and on the other hand to explore agile alternatives for it. These alternatives are grounded on the
well-established socio-technical organizational theory. We will also discover what it means to
develop matching alternative information models, and how to change from a bureaucratic to an
agile organization. Professor:

DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA


Since 2011, China has been the world's second largest economy after the United States and
important trading partners for both developed and emerging countries around the world. As
the Chinese market presents many unprecedented opportunities, it also presents many
potential challenges and risks of doing business in China. We will explore China in several
different aspects, such as business culture and environment, government policies, and market
growth opportunities in China. If you are entrepreneurs or owners/managerial staff of business
start-ups, e-commerce, international companies, or just anyone who would like to explore the

DOING BUSINESS IN BRICS COUNTRIES: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS


This course is designed to give students a basic but clear and comprehensive knowledge and

doing business in BRICS countries in general and Russia in particular. It combines pieces of
theory with quite pragmatic cases and exercises of applied character. During the course,
students are very welcome with their questions and comments.
The main goal of the course is to build a basic framework to enable students to understand the
socioeconomic, marketing, legal and cross-cultural aspects of conducting business in the BRICS
countries. This course provides a practice oriented overview of running business activities there. It Professor:

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
Professor:
empresa. Para que estos modelos de negocios sustentables, produzcan y brinden resultados
Osmar Arandia, Ph. D.
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.

PENSAMIENTO ESTRATÉGICO Y SISTEMAS ORIENTADOS A RESULTADOS


La estrategia empresarial aparece como el centro del manejo empresarial en este siglo. En un
mundo complejo en el que la velocidad del cambio, y el cambio mismo son un dato de la
realidad, obliga a la adaptación inmediata de la empresa a los factores volátiles del entorno,
hecho que se produce a través de la toma de las decisiones adecuadas. Los modelos de
negocio se suceden sin solución de continuidad y obligan a la empresa a ser cada vez más
ágil y flexible. Para que estos procesos se produzcan y brinden resultados eficaces, hacen falta
una correcta interpretación de los escenarios, una visión de largo plazo y un análisis de las

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:

THE CHINA FACTOR IN GLOBAL BUSINESS


Since adopting an “open door” policy in 1978, China has achieved a substantial economic
growth of over 10% a year and is now the second largest economy in the world. By attracting a
significant amount of foreign direct investments (FDI) to upgrade the infrastructure and
technology over the years, China has become the “Manufacturing Center of the World” and
the largest exporter of many product categories.
As China continues to gain more influence on the global economy and begins to threaten the
