Coberturas de riesgo con futuros y opciones para agrobusiness
La producción agropecuaria y agroalimentaria tiene una gran importancia en las economías latinoamericanas tanto desde el punto de vista de su participación en el PBI de los países, generación de empleo y exportaciones , ya que en muchos casos las exportaciones agroalimentarias constituyen una fuente muy importante de divisas en las economías latinoamericanas. El concepto de “ agrobusiness “ desarrollado en Harvard significa un abordaje sistémico de los actores , funciones y valor agregado del sistema agroalimentario y de las interrelaciones entre los distintos actores a través de mecanismos de coordinación como : mercados , contrato e integración vertical. El eslabón inicial de toda cadena agroalimentaria ( soja, maíz , trigo , carne ,leche , café , azúcar , cacao , etc. ) lo constituye la producción primaria caracterizada por commodities que constiuyen la materia prima para el resto del sistema. Los mercados de commodities se caracterizan por la atomización de la oferta que hace que los productores primarios sean tomadores de precios y sujetos a una extremada volatilidad de los mismos , lo que dificulta las decisiones y el cálculo económico de sus resultados teniendo en cuenta los rezagos en el tiempo, entre las decisiones de siembra y cosecha / venta de la producción. Esta incertidumbre afecta también a los otros actores de la cadena como procesadores , exportadores , que necesitan conocer los precios de las materias primas para su cadena de suministros y tomar compromisos de exportación. Los Mercados de Futuros y Opciones son instituciones que permiten predecir precios futuros y también transferir los riesgos a “ especuladores “ que son actores que le dan una gran liquidez a esos mercados. El conocimiento del funcionamiento de los Mercados de Futuros y Opciones , las reglas de su operatoria y contratos y las herramientas disponibles para todos los actores ( productores, cooperativas , acopiadores , corredores , exportadores , procesadores ) resultan de vital importancia para eficientizar la gestión comercial de todos los participantes para que puedan lograr los objetivos económico/ financieros de sus organizaciones A partir del Chicago Mercantile Exchange ( CME group ) los precios de las principales commodities agrícolas se relacionan con los precios y mercados en los principales países productores como Brasil , Argentina , Paraguay , Uruguay, contribuyendo a la transparencia y eficiencia de las gestiones comerciales de todos los actores. Este Curso proveerá el conocimiento de la operatoria de los mercados , las herramientas de cobertura en futuros y opciones, y ayudará al diseño de estrategias de los distintos actores. A través de simulaciones se hará un seguimiento de los mercados en tiempo real y se logrará un aprendizaje a través de la experiencia de la calidad de las decisiones tomadas por los participantes.

Capstone - Managing Board Change for Higher Levels of Leadership and Governance Effectiveness
The Capstone Project is a service learning experience designed to apply the knowledge and skills developed in the three Specialization courses to a real world leadership and governance situation. It is also intended to develop the participant's capability to act as an agent for positive change in nonprofit organizations. To this end, you will analyze the leadership and governance effectiveness of a real board of directors in an organization of your own choosing (or, if that is not possible, data gathered from a real board provided by the course instructors). By the end of the Capstone Project, you will have produced a professional consulting report detailing your analysis and recommendations to improve board leadership and governance effectiveness. You will then present it to the board and advise them on implementing change. To learn more about this course, please watch the overview video by copying and pasting the following link into your web browser: https://goo.gl/GTWrN2 Keywords: Nonprofit; Nonprofit Sector; Voluntary Sector; Nonprofit Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations, Volunteer Organizations, Leadership, Management, Governance, Board, Board of Directors, Performance, Effectiveness Capstone Project Overview: Weeks 1-3: This period will be spent choosing a board of a nonprofit organization and gathering information using two specially designed tools and resources: The SUNY Open textbook (to download the book copy and paste the following link into your browser: http://tinyurl.com/peolnjb), "Guidelines for Improving the Effectiveness of Boards of Directors of Nonprofit Organizations", and The Board Check-Up, online board performance self-assessment tool that can be accessed by copying and pasting this link into your browser: https://www.boardcheckup.com.

Cognición, Pensamiento y Lenguaje
¿Qué es la psicología cognitiva? ¿Cómo estudia la mente? ¿Cómo funciona la mente cuando tenemos que llegar a una conclusión en un razonamiento, tomar una decisión, resolver un problema o asignar causas a un hecho? ¿Qué pasa en nuestra mente entre que tenemos una idea y la expresamos en una serie de sonidos o gráficos, llamados “letras”? ¿O a la inversa, entre que escuchamos sonidos o vemos unos gráficos y nos hacemos una idea mental del contenido? Estas son algunas de las preguntas que podrás ir respondiendo a lo largo del recorrido de las tres semanas que te propone este curso de introducción al estudio de la cognición, el pensamiento y el lenguaje. Nuestro curso comienza con el estudio de los procesos psicológicos básicos y la perspectiva cognitiva. En la primera semana, focalizaremos en presentar el estudio de los procesos básicos en psicología: ¿qué hay en la mente y cómo funciona? En primer lugar, destacaremos el abordaje empírico a los procesos mentales. Luego, expondremos la perspectiva cognitiva: la mente como procesador de información. ¿Qué significa la analogía entre la mente y una computadora (y qué no)? Finalmente, delinearemos los principales abordajes de estudio que van dando forma a la psicología cognitiva. En la segunda semana, nuestro tema principal será la memoria y el pensamiento. ¿Cómo funciona la mente cuando tenemos que llegar a una conclusión en un razonamiento, tomar una decisión, resolver un problema o asignar causas a un hecho? Para eso, en primer lugar, vamos a presentar un modelo de sistemas de memoria, cuál es su función, cuáles son sus formas de adquisición y recuperación, y el formato de información con el que operan. Luego, vamos a abordar el campo de estudio del pensamiento y el planteo de dos “sistemas” o modos de procesamiento dentro del pensamiento. ¿Qué pasa cuando intentamos razonar de forma lenta y deliberada? ¿Y cuando pensamos de forma rápida y automática? Finalmente, vamos a revisar algunos de los heurísticos, sesgos y errores en el pensamiento rápido. En la última semana, nos dedicaremos a estudiar qué sucede en la mente cuando hablamos o entendemos lenguaje. ¿Cómo es el procesamiento entre que tenemos una idea y la expresamos en una serie de sonidos o gráficos, llamados “letras”? ¿Y cómo es el procesamiento entre que escuchamos una serie de sonidos o vemos unos gráficos y nos hacemos una idea mental del contenido? En este módulo, plantearemos el campo de la psicolingüística y nos detendremos en los procesos de comprensión y producción. Al final veremos algunos procesos y estudios experimentales dentro de la comprensión del lenguaje. Objetivos del curso: • Comprender a la psicología de los procesos básicos como una disciplina científica. • Entender la analogía entre la mente y una computadora, y qué es un modelo en términos de arquitectura funcional. • Dar cuenta de las perspectivas que confluyen en la psicología cognitiva y su relevancia para ella: la psicología experimental, los modelos computacionales, la neuropsicología cognitiva, la neurociencia cognitiva. • Comprender un modelo de sistemas de memoria: su papel en la cognición, sus formas de adquisición y recuperación, y el formato de información con el que operan. • Entender el campo de estudio del pensamiento y el planteo de dos “sistemas” o modos de procesamiento dentro del pensamiento. • Entender qué pasa cuando intentamos razonar de forma lenta y deliberada, y cuando pensamos de forma rápida y automática. • Revisar algunos de los heurísticos, sesgos y errores en el pensamiento rápido. • Comprender el planteo del lenguaje humano como un sistema formal estructurado y reglado en el origen del abordaje cognitivo en psicolingüística. • Comprender el campo de estudio y abordaje de la psicolingüística cognitiva. • Comprender algunos de los procesos intervinientes en la comprensión del lenguaje y algunos de los estudios experimentales sobre este.
