Programs for students
from other universities
PRINCIPLE 2: VALUES
CAPSTONE
CAPSTONE was launched more than five years
ago as an intensive program designed to optimize
the management skills of Latin American MBA and
graduate students. For this week-long program,
INCAE brings together students from different
Latin American universities such as Universidad
Pacífico and Universidad Ricardo Parma in Peru,
ESPAE-ESPOL in Ecuador, Universidad Externado in
Colombia, Universidad Privada de Santa Cruz de la
Sierra and Universidad Privada Boliviana in Bolivia,
Universidad Católica in Uruguay, Universidad de
Talca in Chile, UNITEC in Honduras, and ULACIT
and Universidad de Costa Rica in Costa Rica.
It also provides an intense academic and practical
experience through international networking to
achieve a global and integrated vision.
The program offers courses regarding the analysis of
the economic, political and strategic environments;
business models; emerging consumers; reinventing
strategies for emerging markets and the base of
the pyramid; environmental strategies; corporate
social responsibility; sustainable Latin American
companies; sustainability management; and Latin
America eco-efficiency.
Strategic Management at
the Base of the Pyramid
This course is taught by an INCAE professor at the
University of St. Gallen, and is for those who want
to learn how to incorporate social/environmental
issues into business strategy in order to improve
competitiveness. It is based on case studies and
live cases from companies, start-ups and social
businesses that operate in Latin America.
The course attracts students who are interested
in effective management practices at the interface
of markets and civil societies on the one hand, and
emerging and developing countries on the other—
for example, corporate strategy projects that focus
on social issues in their core business, for-profit
corporate social responsibility projects, projects
executed by profit enterprises in partnership with
the poor, management functions of economicallyoriented
nonprofit organizations, or government
projects that intend to support businesses that
address social issues.
