The Science of Happiness: Individual, Workplace and Policy Implications

In this course, students will read and discuss cutting-edge research on wellbeing. This research aims to answer the following questions: Does money really make us happier? What leadership skills can we develop to bring happiness to the workplace? Is the Gross Domestic Product a good indicator of social progress? What can the government do to increase citizen’s happiness?

During this course, you will have the opportunity to:

· Learn what promotes and what undermines wellbeing.

· Apply behavioural insights related to wellbeing to the individual, the workplace, and the government.

· Critically analyze existing research.

· Generate new ideas.

Financial Market Strategies

The course is oriented to students who wish to learn the theory and practice of financial market investments.

During the course we will study several investment strategies, catered for different risk profiles and financial asset classes. Among the topics that will be covered in the course, it is worth mentioning: how to read the data in screens, charts, and platforms and use it to make investment decisions; how to optimize investment portfolios combining equity, fixed income, and ETFs; how to adapt our investment strategies when economic cycles and market moods change; how to implement investment techniques in emerging markets; which valuation ratios make sense for stocks of different industries and how to compute them using real data; how to use the relation between bond yields, duration and convexity in our favor; what is the effect of including crypto assets in an investment portfolio; how to create a hedge to minimize risk using future contracts; what is behind the Black and Scholes model for stock option valuation.

As part of the course, each student will build his/her own investment portfolio using real financial assets and data.

Strategic Foresight

is an increasingly popular methodology that aims to anticipate change using a structured methodology so as to explore the different possible futures, where new businesses and challenges will coexist. It is an approach that aims to identify possible disruption points in trends, thus providing the possibility to be better prepared for significant changes in the status quo.

This course provides an introduction to Strategic Foresight. It will include an introduction to its methodological approach and practical work on cases and real examples. It is an ideal course for those interested in improving their strategic planning skills.

People Management in Emerging Markets

Expat managers are notoriously bad at adapting to local culture, making avoidable mistakes. Even knowing this risk, sometimes motivated by trust, others justified by the lack of local human capital, multinationals still tend to use intensively expat managers. To avoid ending on the wrong side of this trade-off, multinationals demand expat talent with high contextual intelligence, which can be trained and improved. This course will help you to improve your contextual intelligence by discussing how human resources are managed in Latin America, analyzing the cross-country differences and similarities.
