Program Overview |
|
|
|
It is the first time that an Executive Education program has been organized by eight business schools from different countries. The program is a platform for these leading schools to present the latest breakthroughs made by their joint faculty in terms of management and business development in the different regions of Latin America.
The program is structured along these two main lines. Morning activities are centered on the current scenario, including the macroeconomic, political, cultural and social situations of the different countries. In the afternoons, experts from the different partner schools will present the latest management techniques for the regions hinging on five key areas: competitive strategies, marketing, operations, finance and organization, and human resources, all from a Latin American perspective.
Politicians, businesspeople and academics will be providing different insights and points of view in three panels that will debate burning issues: corporate governance, social responsibility and sustainable development, and the FTAA.
The luncheons form a core part of the program, given that participants have the opportunity to share the successful experiences of prominent business leaders from different countries currently operating in different parts of Latin America. The program also features different social activities that serve to exchange opinions and permit participants to extend their networks throughout the continent.
During the course of the programparticipants have access to an exhibition area where different firms present their products and services to the rest of the business community.
An extensive list of professors and specialists acts in parallel in the different forums. Some 50 professors, all experts in executive education, offer participants innovative, up-to-the-minute knowledge. The program is based on two main pillars: information and training.
