Project Development Winter School
In this academic space we seek to understand the development of business activity in the projection of the economy of a country, as well as, the activities represented with financial resources or Investment Projects, which must be structured, evaluated and adequately attended, establishing the highest productivity of the country and the limited resources that are involved in each process. For this subject, it is fundamental to understand how the identification and definition of the specific characteristics in each stages of the project must be articulated in such a way that it includes the definition of procedures and indicators that allow the investor to take opportune and precise decisions on the viability and convenience of carrying out the project to reach the objectives established in its implementation and development, in risk and competitiveness scenarios with social responsibility and commitment with the community.
The students must identify and propose solutions and alternatives and innovate in the functioning of the business activity through the development of Investment Projects, defining the different stages of the elaboration, evaluation and direction, as well as the appropriate tools for structuring, interpretation and analysis of the performance indicators of the resources assigned in the activity. This will allow the investor to make precise decisions for the achievement of the objectives defined for the implementation, development and operation of the activity. This course culminates in the development of critical communication skills, quantitative analytical thinking and axiological development of leadership.
This will be an adaptive project management course within the framework of industry and real organizational economics in a context of exposing the application of adapted and applied world-scale methodologies.
