ADVANCED ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE
Professor: Bruno Varella Miranda
Course Load: 80 hours

Summary:
The nature of the market and the firm: the firm as a “nexus of contracts” and beyond.
Behavioral assumptions and human action: rationality and bounded rationality(ies). The role
of institutions in explaining economic performance: what do we mean by saying that
“institutions matter”? Transaction costs and organizational choice: is it all about the “holdup”
problem? Principal-agent theory in a world of organizational diversity. The tragedy and the
governance of the “commons”: organizational design and environmental sustainability.
Governance of international organizations.

Objective:
This course builds on the theoretical foundations established in Organizational Strategy.
Moreover, it expands the repertoire of tools available for the analysis of institutions and
organizations. By the end of the semester, students are expected to be able to apply advanced
theoretical tools to solve problems related to diverse types of organizations at the national
and international levels – e.g., firms, non-governmental organizations, cooperatives, public
bureaucracies, and international organizations. Students will be incentivized to identify clear
questions and organize their arguments in critical essays and presentations that will connect
the discussed theories with contemporary and past organizational problems observed in the
real world.

Program Content:

1. The nature of the firm: what we know and what is missing.
2. Can we extend our understanding of organizational problems in a corporate context to the
resolution of problems in other types of organization?
3. How do institutional rules affect economic action and performance in a world of
organizational diversity?
4. How does organizational analysis help us to tackle complex international problems?

ANALYSIS OF THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT I
Professor: João Luiz Mascolo
Course Load: 80 hours

Summary:
This course is designed for students interested in Macroeconomics or those who are willing to
learn but have not the opportunity yet. In part, for this reason the course balances the
theoretical aspects with the more empirical ones. Students must be acquainted with the
leading newspapers and blog in the world. Likewise, students should also follow the debate
on the theoretical field.
Among the topics discussed in this course one can find the following ones: monetary policy,
quantitative easing, relationship between economic policy and the behavior of the main macro
variables, leading and lagging indicators, fiscal policy, the external sector, growth forecast.

Objective:
Discuss and debate the ongoing problems in the macroeconomic scenario in Brazil and in the
key countries like: Japan, US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan and China. The
idea is to put together the previous theoretical framework that students learn in the early
Macro and International Economics course with a real world approach. With that in mind, the
course has two goals: one is to offer a crash course in economics and the second, and more
broad, idea is to prepare students for the demands of the upcoming job market.

Program Content:
• Level of Activity: the real side of the economy.
• Employment and Income.
• Inflation and Monetary Policy
• Public Finance and Fiscal Policy.
• External Sector and the World Economy.

COLLABORATIVE ROBOT PROGRAMMING
Professor: Lie Pablo Grala Pinto
Course Load: 80 hours

Summary:
The application of robotics, once restricted to manufacturing, has unfolded into many different
fields, including healthcare, agriculture, domestic tasks, entertainment, and other robotic
services. Recent advances in robotic manipulators had achieved the level of human
cooperation, giving rise of the collaborative robots, known as cobots. This new class of robots
allows an easy, intuitive, and practical learning environment in professional industrial robots,
without extensive prior technical knowledge and, most importantly, with very little risk. This
course is based on self-learning activities, set up as a sequence of micro challenges or
exercises, with little theory and slowly increasing difficulty as hands on practice on the
Universal Robots – UR5.

Objective:
1. Identify, formulate, and solve common programming tasks in collaborative robotic
manipulators;
2. Work effectively in a team, providing leadership, cooperation, establishing goals, planning
tasks, and meeting objectives;
3. Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies while
programming collaborative robots.

Program Content:
1. Main applications of robotics, perspectives and impact of robotic on the society;
2. Cobot parts, safety and robot interaction with the environment;
3. Setting a robot program, points and type of trajectories;
4. 3D Position and rotations, displacements and orientation;
5. Force, torque, speed and acceleration;
6. Main commands and functions, programming loops, variables;
7. Programming structures, timing, events and threads;
8. Reference frames, position variables and operations with positions;
9. Offline programming, communication and I/O.

CROSS-CULTURAL MANAGEMENT
Professor: Ana Diniz
Course Load: 40 hours

Summary:
Culture and corporate culture; cultural intelligence; introduction to international
management, CAGE distance framework, organization of MNE activity; dimensions of national
culture, Trompenaars' model of national culture differences; managing diversity,
stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination; communicating, negotiating, building trust and
resolving conflicts across cultures; working with multicultural groups; expatriates, expatriate
adjustment.

Objective:
In an interconnected world, it is not companies that go abroad, it is their people. These people
are already overwhelmed with tasks and now they need to interact with other individuals with
different cultures. These situations can cause stress, misunderstandings and/or frictions.
Besides this, not all of us are good at working effectively in different cultural settings. In order
to be successful, what are the aspects that need special attention? Why are they important?
How can difficult cross-cultural situations be handled? These are some of the questions that
we intend to discuss during this course. At the end of it, we hope that our participants will be
better prepared for future work assignments abroad.

Program Content:
• Culture and corporate culture
• Cultural intelligence
• International management: an introduction
• Dimensions of national culture
• Managing diversity
• Cross-cultural communication

DESIGN THINKING
Professor: Edgard Charles Stuber
Course Load: 80 hours

Summary:
The ability to identify and solve problems is the initial part of the innovation process, which
is accomplished when the solutions found are implemented, generating value for the
stakeholders involved.
This hands-on discipline uses PBL (Problem Based Learning) with theory and practice of design
thinking, a human-centered approach to innovation that combines the needs of people, the
possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success. Students will use
creative tools to gather inspiration, generate ideas, make them tangible, and tell stories.
Thus, participants will learn and practice the design thinking method to expand creativity, to
gain insights more connected to the real needs of people, and to materialize ideas through
prototyping (for products, services or spaces). The theoretical part will be based on recent
articles, videos and cases about design thinking and the practical part will be based on real
field projects conducted in groups.

Objective:
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
    • Identify and generate alternatives to solve contemporary problems.
    • Use collaborative techniques and tools to analyze and synthesize the data collected in
       the field
    • Conduct rapid experiments addressing problem-solving as a learning process

Program Content:

• Deep understanding of the customer needs to solve complex problems the post pandemic
phase will impose on the market
• Innovation as a driver to generate value in market economy
• New business models
• Human Centered Design: Research, Sense Making, Ideation and Test
• Design Thinking tools - interviewing, observing, data analysis and synthesis to generate
insights, opportunities, ideation, idea presentation, collaboration, prototyping and validation,
storytelling;
• Field project: identification of an opportunity, proposal of a creative solution, prototyping,
storytelling and validation;

DIGITAL MARKETING
Professor: Farah Diba Mary Anni Abrantes Braga
Course Load: 80 hours

Summary:
Technology has changed the ways firms engage in communications and rapport with
consumers. For many years, companies and brands have relied on one-way tools to connect
with clients. The advent and widespread of mobile phones and personal computers have
enabled shared communication, which has opened up a new era where interactions,
information, and dialogue with customers are critical for business success. Social media,
mobile technology, and new monitoring tools have allowed new targeting and referral
strategies. In that sense, digital marketing is how organizations deploy digital tools, data,
channels, and techniques to produce value for their customers.

Objective:
This course introduces a paradigm of dynamically and directly interacting with customers
through digital means by providing a framework and tools for managing and analyzing an
organization’s virtual presence for marketing purposes. It applies concepts of digital
marketing in practice through applicable projects and assignments.
By the end of the course participants should be able to apply the knowledge of marketing
theories, the digital marketing framework and tools:
    • To evaluate (audit) an organization’s current digital marketing strategy and tools.
    • To evaluate, formulate and communicate practical solutions to commonly faced digital
        marketing problems across industries.
    • To develop a digital marketing strategy recommending marketing actions and how to
        measure the results.
The course will use reading materials, case discussions, tutorial, in-class examples, and
exercises as means to apply the principles learned in the lectures and readings to real-world
marketing problems. The emphasis of the course will not be on memorizing marketing facts
and vocabulary, but rather on systematic critical thinking, reasoned application of underlying
principles, and strong quantitative and conceptual analyses.

In this course you will play on a Harvard Multimedia Tutorial on Digital Marketing, Social
Media, and Mobile Marketing where you will get an introduction to key concepts in digital
marketing, social media and mobile marketing. Through the multimedia, you will be presented
through Maria and her journey through the different digital marketing channels while looking
for a hotel in India.

Program Content:
These topics are subject to change. Initial plans are to cover the following:
   1. The context of the digital society: The fourth revolution and the digital landscape.
   2. Marketing 4.0 – from traditional to digital (the connected consumer; the paradox; the
       4 C’s: segmentation; targeting; pricing; product development in the digital era; the
       consumer journey in the digital era).
   3. Digital marketing framework: concept; outbound and inbound marketing.

                                                                                                  17

GLOBAL CITIES
Professor: Monica de Maria S Fornitani Pinhanez
Course Load: 80 hours

Summary:
Rapid urbanization in both the developed and less developed world, combined with recent
trends towards globalization and fiscal decentralization, has put enormous pressure on large
cities and city-regions. As urban populations grow, large cities struggle to provide basic
services (e.g. housing, water, sanitation, public safety, transit) and address the negative
externalities associated with rapid growth (e.g. pollution and congestion).
In the early 21st century, despite economic development and growth around the world,
urbanization is most often associated with informal occupations and precarious modes of life,
due to lack of services provision, poor transportation and infrastructure, and mismanagement.
Yet, urban areas are seen as vibrant, diverse and desirable places to live, work and visit and
are seeing a wave of revitalization not seen in many decades.
The way of living and surviving in cities across the world can be described in different ways:
through the decline of the industrial economy, the offshoring of work, the creation of network
cities, and the emergence of “global cities.” Public and private sector alike, such as policy
makers and real estate developers, have to deal with the global issues and economic crisis at
the city level, and try to devise new, smarter, and safer solutions to make life in cities better.
This course will set out a basic economics and public management framework to understand
the problems faced by cities and use it to evaluate the issues and challenges they endure. It
also addresses some of the promises and dilemmas of creating and managing the space where
we live, work and produce, through a number of best practices studies, which suggest that
there is a smart and best way to impact the places we live.

Objective:
The students will be able to understand and criticize current problems in large cities. It is
expected that the students will be able to evaluate urban realities in different contexts, both
domestically and internationally.
The students will be able to:
• To understand the key issues about urbanization;
• To analyze different aspects of cities, large and small, and discuss the differences between
megacities, global cities, and smart cities;
• To apply basic principles for analysis of large cities and metropolitan regions in countries
with diverse political, institutional, and cultural contexts; and
• To evaluate the practice of urban governance.

MARKETING METRICS AND DATA MARKETING
Professor: Farah Diba Mary Anni Abrantes Braga
Course Load: 80 hours

Summary:
How can managers measure the effectiveness of marketing expenditures to help them make
better investments to get more "bang" for the buck? The advent of the cloud computing, big
data, the internet, and mobile devices dissemination boosted data collection and processing
opening a new era where interactions, information and dialogue with all stakeholders are
critical for business success. Understanding the role of analyzing marketplace data effectively
to make better business decisions is key success factor for any professional, not only in
marketing, but in any other decision-making position.

Objective:
To provide students with an applied knowledge in the domain of marketing analytics by
exploring the most applicable metrics and data driven-marketing management and strategies.
This course provides rigorous tools and approaches to measure the effectiveness of marketing
expenditures that can help marketing managers make better investments decisions. The
course also provides a sophisticated framework to quantify the impact of various marketing
efforts. By the end of this course, you will be able to:
    1. Know the importance of adding value and using data to drive marketing decisions.
    2. Understand how market insights techniques enhance decision-making by translating
        market data into insights for decisions like branding, sales, product, channels pricing,
        advertising response, resource allocation, consumer behavior, segmentation and
        positioning, new product forecasting etc.
    3. Demonstrate high levels of analytical skill in a marketing context defining problems,
        identifying opportunities and interpreting their implications for decision making.
    4. Demonstrate high levels of practical decision-making skills using persuasive
        arguments in support of realistic marketing decisions.

The course will use Harvard simulations and case discussion, certification, reading materials,
in-class examples, and exercises as means to apply the principles learned in the lectures and
readings to real-world marketing problems. The emphasis of the course will not be on
memorizing marketing facts and vocabulary, but rather on systematic critical thinking,
reasoned application of underlying principles, and strong quantitative and conceptual
analyses.

This single-player simulation teaches you the power of analytics in decision-making. Acting
as the brand manager for a laundry detergent, you will be tasked with turning around the
brand's performance by using sophisticated analytic techniques to understand current issues
and determine the best strategy for improving performance.

MONEY, BANKING, DERIVATIVES AND FUTURES MARKETS
Professor: Vitória Cristina Cardoso Saddi
Course Load: 80 hours

Summary:
This course is set for students who are willing to apply economics and finance to real world
situations. The starting point here is that we start with a trading room, where we use a trading
software with real time data where students learn how to create positions of stock indexes,
interest rates and currencies. The course stresses the applied field of economics and finance.
In previous courses students learned about banks, bank runs, leverage and derivatives. In
this course we apply these concepts using three softwares that uses future markets, forex
and option strategies as well. Among the tasks, student groups, using a computer platform,
decide to buy (or sell) the asset according to the economic environment and other variables
into consideration. In each decision the software records a monetary gain or loss and the
winner is the one with highest monetary gain.

Objective:
he main goal of this course is to provide students a taste of ‘real life’ situations in a hedge
fund/ trading desk. In brief, students will learn how to trade the leading indexes in the world:
S&P, Nasdaq, Dow Jones. The most important currencies: Euro/USD, USD/Yen,
USD/Canadian Dollar; the metals: Gold, silver, copper; commodities: Corn and oil and the all
NYSE stocks. Trading is a mixture of sound economic theory with a touch of economic news
and lots of technical analysis. The proposal (and my wish) is to be able to pass along to
students what makes a successful trader/fund manager. We use computer software where
students get acquainted with spot and futures transactions in the key markets: commodities,
currencies, stock indexes and metals. Students will then apply option strategies like:
straddles, butterfly, strangle, collar and candle, among others.

Program Content:
   • Bank Runs, Hedge Funds and Markets
   • Understanding Interest Rates
   • Mechanics of Future Markets
   • Mechanics of Spot markets
   • Leverage
   • Margin calls
   • Margin policy
   • Technical Analysis and Robots and Expert Analysis
