This major was created in order to enable managers to lead the production transformation required by Latin America as it opens itself to global competition.

Field Work / Management Consulting Practice (MCP)

Students will apply the knowledge they have acquired during the Program through their Management Consulting Practice (MCP) conducted at the firm or industry they choose. The MCP aims at giving students an adequate degree of contact with company / organizational life in their own countries.

The MCP is conducted with groups made up of three to five students at a company or organization of their choice, under the supervision of a teaching faculty member.

The task includes a comprehensive diagnosis of the organization, a competitive strategy, and an implementation plan including a definition of activities, individuals responsible, implementation periods, coordination mechanisms, and an evaluation of financial impact.

The MCP has three key components: analysis of the environment; industry analysis, and strategy development.

NOTE:

During the second year of the program, courses are taught 50% in Spanish and 50% in English. Therefore, during the first year of the program, students will take a test on their knowledge of the English Language. Students who do not meet the minimum level desired, will receive one to six courses in English with the aim of improving their level in the language, in order to pursue these courses.
