We will soon say goodbye to 2022, a time to reflect on a year marked by numerous challenges that have disrupted business.
Added to the economic uncertainty derived from the pandemic is a context of war in Europe, a challenging global macroeconomic context, and a clearer and more severe diagnosis of the urgency of the global climate challenge. None of these topics is unrelated to our responsibility, as a global learning community, to redouble our efforts to contribute to solutions in an increasingly complex and volatile world.
In this EGADE 2022 Report: A year of transformation, innovation and social impact, the achievements and success stories experienced this year as members of the extraordinary EGADE Business School community are reflected. I invite you to recognize your effort in these pages and to dream of the ones you will want to write from 2023 onwards.
Likewise, I thank the entire community for their great commitment to our transformation as a school, to the update of our 2025 Strategic Plan and to our renewed purpose of "Rethinking the future of business so that it impacts the sustainable development of Latin America." Through innovative teaching, high-impact research, and our permanent relationship with our graduates, industry, civil society, and our global academic and institutional partners, I am sure that we continue to strengthen our contribution to the transformation of our society.
On the eve of a new year, which will undoubtedly bring us great challenges and new opportunities, receive my best wishes. I am sure that 2023, the year of the 80th anniversary of Tecnológico de Monterrey, will be a year full of many new lessons.

By FERNANDA MORALES BACA | EGADE BUSINESS SCHOOL
Neuroentrepreneurship, business storytelling, the superdollar, and the inclusion of indigenous communities in Latin America were the topics addressed by Territorio Negocios, the EGADE Business School podcast, during the month of October.
If you missed them, here are the four episodes:
Ep. 93 - Neuroentrepreneurship: the entrepreneurial brain
Neurosciences and behavioral sciences have reached the business world, and today they are working to understand the mental and behavioral mechanisms that make us more capable of entrepreneurship, such as risk acceptance or frustration tolerance. Ana María Aguilera Luque, a researcher at the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at EGADE Business School, shares the latest findings regarding the existence of an "entrepreneurial brain" and the benefits that its unraveling would bring to the success of business and the development of companies. and the entrepreneurs.
Ep. 94 - Impact inclusion of indigenous communities in Latin America
Faced with the inefficiency of governments to offer social services, solutions arise from entrepreneurs, CSOs or social enterprises. Gastón Arostegui, general manager of Hilandería Warmi, and Felipe Symmes, professor at EGADE Business School and director of Research at VIVA Idea, discuss the role of markets and public-private partnerships in the inclusion of indigenous communities.
Ep. 95 - Business Storytelling
A good story about the company has become such a desirable asset that companies like Microsoft or IBM already have the figure of the 'Chief Storyteller'. A business storytelling that is interesting and inspiring, in addition to being successfully shared among collaborators, clients and partners, can increase the sense of belonging and consolidate the vision and organizational bonds. Ziranda González, professor at the School of Humanities and Education at Tecnológico de Monterrey, shares the formula for building a successful business storytelling, as well as its advantages.
Ep. 96 - The reign of the superdollar
The dollar has hit its highest level in 20 years against some of the world's strongest currencies. That means that it is more expensive to buy dollars in countries that use pesos, euros or any other currency other than the greenback. Rafael de la Fuente, Chief Economist for Latin America at UBS, and Jesús Garza García, Professor of Economics and Finance at EGADE Business School, analyze the great turmoil in the foreign exchange market.
