El curso tiene un enfoque único, mezclando modelos conceptuales que permiten identificar los desafíos actuales y predecir los de mediano plazo, junto con ejemplificaciones prácticas que permiten llevar a la práctica los modelos conceptuales.
El curso no tiene requisitos previos. Sin embargo, la materia que trata (los desafíos estratégicos de una organización) puede requerir del alumno cierta capacidad de síntesis que dificulte la comprensión de aquellos que tienen muy baja exposición a la realidad empresarial. Los alumnos que tienen o han tenido exposición a realidades empresariales o que están estudiando o han estudiado carreras afines abordarán el curso con mayor facilidad.

  • Evaluar un modelo de negocio y sus elementos centrales.
