Course content and structure

El curso analizará cómo determinados contextos institucionales influyen el entorno empresarial en las regiones hispanohablantes, con énfasis especial en América Latina. El marco teórico del curso parte del contexto contemporáneo de reformas de mercado, globalización e integración económica; las redes, el corporatismo y neocorporatismo. También leeremos textos específicos sobre el papel de las empresas en la coyuntura actual de cambio económico y social en América Latina. En términos empíricos el curso enfocará las oportunidades y retos que hoy presenta el contexto institutional en varios países (México, Centroamérica y Suramérica).
Teaching methods
El curso se desarrollará mediante una combinación de exposiciones orales de los profesores y estudiantes. Se busca desarrollar la capacidad de los estudiantes para analizar y conceptualizar temas empíricos y teóricos basados en la literatura leída. Se usarán casos de manera selectiva para ilustrar dinámicas institucionales relevantes, y se señalarán puntos de resonancia temática que permitirán a los estudiantes vincular los temas tratados con los de su especialización principal.
