Seminario para optar al título de Ingeniero Comercial, Mención Administración de Empresas / El propósito de este trabajo es comprender las implicancias del estilo de toma de decisiones de los gerentes en su orientación al aprendizaje y el desempeño de la firma. Entendemos por estilo de toma de decisiones al tipo de estrategias implementada: emergentes, deliberadas o mixtas (Mintzberg y Waters, 1985). Para llevar a cabo este estudio, se utilizó el simulador People Express. Este simulador de toma de decisiones permite experimentar y vivenciar el rol de un gerente general que busca maximizar sus ganancias tomando decisiones que afectan el desempeño de la compañía. Los resultados sugieren que aquellos participantes que tienen un estilo gerencial relacionado a las estrategias emergentes, se encuentran más orientados hacia desempeño el corto plazo en las firmas. Para el caso de quiénes presentaban un estilo de toma de decisión deliberado, los resultados muestran un mejor desempeño en el largo plazo. En base a los mismos resultados, los estudiantes que presentan un mejor ranking de notas tienen un mejor desempeño de largo plazo, pero no así en el largo plazo. Esto deja una gran incognita sobre la metodologia de enseñanza utilizada por las universidades y sus implicancias en el desempeño futuro de los administradores.

This thesis explores and analyzes Origen of Alexandria’s conviction that Scripture is itself the enfleshed Christ, or that “in the Scriptures the Word became flesh that he might tabernacle among us” (Philoc 15.19). For Origen, Scripture as the “Word of the Lord” is identical to the Word who was “with God,” and who “was God” in the Johannine Prologue. The Word assumes flesh not only in his birth, but also through the words and phrases of the patriarchs, prophets, and apostles. As a result, many scholars have noted the interesting “parallel” or “analogy” Origen draws between Scripture and the Incarnation, but this study provides the first comprehensive and focused treatment of Scripture as incarnate Word in Origen’s work. Ultimately, it demonstrates that for Origen, biblical interpretation is nothing less than a direct noetic encounter with the person of Christ, allowing the reader to know him in any time or place, to see him transfigured in the movement from the letter to the spirit, and even to consume his flesh and blood. Following an introductory chapter, the project consists of two parts. Part One (Chapters Two and Three) addresses the nature of “scriptural flesh” in Origen’s work. Chapter Two seeks to articulate what it means for the Word to become “flesh” in the first place, as well as what is required to “lift the veil” and perceive that flesh as divine. By examining the role of the cross in Origen’s Christology, it demonstrates that it is only in light of the Passion, through the lens of the crucified Christ, that the divinity of both man (Jesus) and text (Scripture) is made manifest. Chapter Three looks to define this scriptural “flesh” in Origen’s thought, specifically by relying on the doctrine of the epinoiai (the “aspects” or biblical titles of Christ). It is the epinoiai that clothe Christ and give him shape through the text. Part Two (Chapters Four and Five) addresses the theological and spiritual implications for the reader and interpreter of Scripture. Chapter Four examines the “coming of Christ” (parousia) as an individualized noetic phenomenon, brought about by the Christological reading of Scripture in any time or place. Finally, Chapter Five addresses the consumption of Christ through the Scriptures, which turns out to be much more about hermeneutics than about sacramental theology. A short conclusion follows, raising some of the broader implications for Origen studies as well as for the study of early Christian biblical exegesis.

Hoy en día en el Perú, más del 70% del mercado consume café soluble y alrededor del 30% consume cafés especiales y de calidad, como orgánico y cafés de especialidad. Sin embargo, se ha detectado que uno de los grandes problemas es dónde comprar un buen café orgánico saludable de garantía, asimismo el desconocimiento del origen de cultivo del producto. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo desarrollar una propuesta para aliviar ese problema, para ello ofrecemos un café tostado molido y en grano en presentaciones de 250 gramos y 500 gramos identificado según la región de cultivo, como Amazonas, Ayacucho, Cajamarca, Huánuco, Junín, Pasco y San Martin, el producto estará certificado como orgánico y con nivel muy bajo de Glifosato < 0.01 mg/ kg. Se validó la idea del proyecto a través del estudio de mercado cualitativa realizado a una muestra de 10 personas especializadas en el producto. Realizamos el análisis externo e interno del proyecto, en el cual se identificó factores que tienen o podrían tener incidencia a lo largo del proyecto de negocio. Con la información obtenida, se ha elaborado el plan de marketing, luego de proyectar las ventas y establecer los costos de producción, gastos administrativos y de operaciones, se procedió a calcular la rentabilidad del proyecto aplicando los indicadores, arrojando resultados alentadores para poder realizar el proyecto. El análisis financiero del proyecto es positivo. Para los accionistas el proyecto ofrece una rentabilidad máxima (TIR) de 147% mientras que el costo de oportunidad que exigen es de 39% (COK). / Today in Peru, more than 70% of the market consumes soluble coffee and about 30% consume special and quality coffees, such as organic and specialty coffees. However, it has been detected that one of the big problems is where to buy a good organic coffee healthy guarantee, as well as the lack of knowledge of the origin of cultivation of the product. This work aims to develop a proposal to alleviate this problem, for this we offer a ground roasted coffee and grain in presentations of 250 grams and 500 grams identified according to the growing region, such as Amazonas, Ayacucho, Cajamarca, Huánuco, Junín, Pasco and San Martin, the product will be certified as organic and with very low glyphosate level < 0.01 mg/ kg. The idea of the project was validated through the qualitative market study carried out on a sample of 10 people specialized in the product. We carried out the external and internal analysis of the project, in which factors were identified that have or could have an impact throughout the business project. With the information obtained, the marketing plan has been developed, after projecting sales and establishing production costs, administrative and operating expenses, the profitability of the project was calculated by applying the indicators, yielding encouraging results to be able to carry out the project. The financial analysis of the project is positive. For shareholders the project offers a maximum return (TIR) of 147% while the opportunity cost, they demand is 39% (COK). / Tesis
