This course is designed to prepare business managers with both accountancy and business management skills essential in today’s complex business environment.
The course’s learning objectives reflect that: modern accounting with the advent of information technology is no longer simply the recording of historical facts but the assembly and management of accounting information and its distribution to both external and internal users; this information facilitates the decision processes necessary to compete in today’s increasingly complex business world and; an accounting information system capable of providing relevant, timely and reliable information must be administered by knowledgeable, competent management skilled in both accountancy and business management.
In the business world, or particularly in the conduct of a business, the application of a strategy, the omission of relevant information or disinformation, can be beneficial economically and even more so in the international context. Indeed, you could say that a business has been good not only because both parties have benefited but because one has benefited more (from the point of view of the latter).
Therefore, organizations, whether multinational, transnational or global, assume that, in their principles, they consider the different types of characterizations that widely affect business, thus obtaining a greater range of information, in order to have a better finished idea about how companies are doing.
This subject has as a general objective to develop skills in future professionals to operate in the environment of International Business, capable of successfully facing the process of globalization, which is expansive, explosive and indefensible, based on an integrative, broad and creative vision of the different variables (Economic, Political, Social, Ecological, Cultural, among others) that today are paradigms in the society where it will develop in the business world.
This course deals with the methodology and follow-up to develop a research project applied to the business environment, as a requirement for obtaining a degree. The result of the applied research project is the proposal of an academic document, in addition to a proof of concept that can be subsequently applied in a company. Of all the courses you take at Atlantis University, this will be the most practical. Eighty percent of your grade will be based on your project's follow-up, the research process you have conducted, as well as the results of it.
The course sessions will follow the natural order of a research process, such as defining the problem to be solved, conducting a review of the state-of-the-art literature, defining a project proposal, defining the research process, clarifying the scope of the project, planning the project and its deliverables, and delivering the required results.
