This course introduces students to the different phases of project management, from conception and planning through implementation, monitoring, and termination, with particular emphasis on quantitative tools for scheduling, resource allocation, risk assessment, monitoring, and control. Topics including risk management, quality management, procurement, and project evaluation will be explored through the lens of Argentina’s economic, social, and business environment.
Students will examine how project management practices are shaped by the realities of the Argentine landscape, including local industries, institutions, regulations, economic conditions, and cultural approaches to business and collaboration. Through an immersive experience in Buenos Aires, students will connect project management theory and tools to real-world projects and challenges in Argentina.
The DSB 390 cultural competency course is taught by a local professor and will allow students to be fully immersed in a business course with a specific focus on the host city.
Both courses are supplemented with cultural activities, excursions, and company visits.
