Our research group focuses on the strategies, structures, and management processes that help organizations become more competitive and serve their stakeholders better, while maintaining their long-term viability and contributing to the social and environmental well-being of the places where they operate.

The point of departure for our work are the institutional and cultural conditions of the emerging economies of Latin America and elsewhere, in which organizations formulate and implement their strategies through their specific business models and ways to enhance competitiveness. On a more fine-grained level, our research has addressed the topics of dynamic capabilities, knowledge management, and practice transfer processes. Members of our research group have also directed their attention to the bottom of the pyramid and practices of micro-finance.

From a different vantage point, the organizations that we deal with exist in a highly globalized environment, which is the basis for our second mayor research focus of International Management. Our research has dealt with global strategy, internationalization processes, multiculturalism within organizations, international human resource management, and global leadership.

Finally, some of our members have published advances in management education for both university students and executives, especially in Finance and International Management.
