Resumen
Degree courses in Administration are the most popular at both an undergraduate and post-graduate level throughout Latin America, and recognition of the role of the professional working in administration as a very important player in the functioning of organisations is being increasingly recognized.
There is a growing demand on the part of business for administration professionals to be trained in handling new information and communications technologies (NICTs), to have the ability to act in a range of scenarios with levels of complexity and ambiguity, to work in teams, communicate orally, in writing and electronically and to ensure the company’s sustainability.
On the other hand, new curricular design proposes that courses should not only focus on conventionally-studied content according to discipline, but also above all on the capacities of professionals demanded by society and the market. With this new approach, curricula can be seen to be becoming more flexible and there is a more globalised view that demands education preparing graduates to act in national and overseas scenarios in which the command of a foreign language is deemed fundamental if the professional is to be competitive.
