Nuevo: MBA en Latinoamérica.

Latin America

4.7. Latin America
Middle income (GDP/capita) countries such as Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Argentina cannot afford any longer to compete on the basis of traditional strategies and polices such as low cost of labor and foreign investment-fuelled development. A new paradigm is needed to compete with China and India and in particular, decision makers need to undertake change strategies and transform organizations and institutions to operate based on high value added, entrepreneurship based wealth creation, and innovation propelled economic activity. This paradigm is creating a massive demand for MBA educated graduates across the region.

The majority of employers in Latin America are still looking to hire MBAs educated at the best international business schools in North America and Europe. What local demand exists tends to be on a country basis with few employers recruiting across borders within the region.

Few business schools in Latin America have been successful in developing an international reputation. There is evidence that schools in Latin America are not internationalizing at the pace of their Asian counterparts.

Within the region 12 schools have made the cut into the Global Top 200 in 2008. A consistent picture of the most preferred schools has emerged in this research, year on year with a consistent number of employer respondents in Latin America and stable evaluations.

Once again, a Mexican institution tops the list, with EGADE at Tec de Monterrey just ahead of IPADE (Instituto de Estudios Panamericano de Alta Direcction de Empresa) which achieved 18 employer votes just ahead of F.Getulio Vargas in Bazil and ITAM (Instituto Technologico Autonomo de Mexico). This top cluster is also joined by Business School Sao Paulo, PUC Chile and INCAE Business School of Costa Rica (which has the highest percentage of international students - 85% - in the region) all with over 10 employer votes.

The remaining business schools in the region to feature in the Top 200 include: ESAN (Peru), IBMEC (Brazil), Universidad de Chile, IESA (Venezuela) and IAE (Argentina).

Employers’ top 10 preferred schools in the Latin America region are:

EGADE – Tecnologico de Monterrey (Mexico), IPADE Instituto de Estudios Panamericano de Alta Direcction de Empresa (Mexico), Fundação Getulio Vargas Business School (Brazil, ITAM Instituto Technologico Autonomo de Mexico (Mexico), INCAE (Costa Rica), BSP – Business School Sao Paulo (Brazil), Pontificia Universidad de Chile, ESAN (Peru), IESA and IBMEC (Brazil)

Cartel de "ACEPTO EUROS" invade la Gran manzana: La crisis empieza a matar el dólar dentro de EUA!!!

Un reporte de REUTERS afirma que las tiendas en Nueva York ahora aceptan EUROS para sus transacciones. Debilidad del dólar hace que hoy en día las tiendas apetezcan también libras esterlinas y dólares canadienses. Si bien los comercios en muchas localidades estadounidenses limítrofes con Canadá aceptan desde hace tiempo dólares canadienses y algunos negocios en la frontera con México reciben pesos, la aceptación de divisas extranjeras en Manhattan era algo inusual hasta hace poco tiempo.

"Euros Accepted" signs pop up in New York City
Wed Feb 6, 2008 4:09pm EST

NEW YORK (Reuters) - In the latest example that the U.S. dollar just ain't what it used to be, some shops in New York City have begun accepting euros and other foreign currency as payment for merchandise.
"We had decided that money is money and we'll take it and just do the exchange whenever we can with our bank," Robert Chu, owner of East Village Wines, told Reuters television.
The increasingly weak U.S. dollar, once considered the king among currencies, has brought waves of European tourists to New York with money to burn and looking to take advantage of hugely favorable exchange rates.
"We didn't realize we would take so much in and there were that many people traveling or having euros to bring in. But some days, you'd be surprised at how many euros you get," Chu said.
"Now we have to get familiar with other currencies and the (British) pound and the Canadian dollars we take," he said.
While shops in many U.S. towns on the Canadian border have long accepted Canadian currency and some stores on the Texas-Mexico border take pesos, the acceptance of foreign money in Manhattan was unheard of until recently.
Not far from Chu's downtown wine emporium, Billy Leroy of Billy's Antiques & Props said the vast numbers of Europeans shopping in the neighborhood got him thinking, "My God, I should take euros in at the store."
Leroy doesn't even bother to exchange them.
"I'm happy if I take in 200 euros, because what I do is keep them," he said. "So when I go back to Paris, I don't have to go through the nightmare of going to an exchange place."

* Los pequeños comerciantes de Nueva York comienzan a aceptar la moneda europea como medio de pago.
* Al cambio, un euro equivale a más de 1,4 dólares.
* El vuelto lo dan en dinero de EE UU, con lo que salen ganando.

La fortaleza del euro frente al dólar empieza a arrebatar a éste su posición de ventaja en el mundo. Cada vez son más los lugares del extrajero que aceptan la "moneda única" como medio de pago, y el último de ellos es Nueva York, donde los pequeños comerciantes incluso prefieren la divisa europea.

Al cambio, un euro es más de 1,4 dólares, pero ellos dan la vuelta en dólares, con lo que estas transacciones les resultan más que beneficiosas. "Hemos decidido que dinero es dinero, así que lo aceptaremos y simplemente lo cambiamos en el banco cuando podamos," afirma Robert Chu, dueño de un local de vinos en East Village.

"Algunos días, uno se sorprende de ver cuántos euros se reciben"

La creciente debilidad del dólar, una vez considerado el rey entre las monedas, ha atraído olas de turistas europeos a Nueva York con dinero para gastar y buscando aprovechar el tipo de cambio favorable. "No nos dimos cuenta de que recibiríamos tantos (euros) y de que había tanta gente viajando o teniendo euros para gastar. Algunos días, uno se sorprende de ver cuántos euros se reciben", contó Chu.

Una novedad

"Ahora tenemos que familiarizarnos con otras monedas y con la libra esterlina y con los dólares canadienses que recibimos," agregó.

Si bien los comercios en muchas localidades estadounidenses limítrofes con Canadá aceptan desde hace tiempo dólares canadienses y algunos negocios en la frontera con México reciben pesos, la aceptación de divisas extranjeras en Manhattan era algo inusual hasta hace poco tiempo.
