ice-breaker 




This first step should be when we enter into different 

social fields completely new for us, can 

become a barrier difficult to part, that feeling of 

anguish, of nerves, every time we have to 

put us in front of an audience the possibility of 

make a poor impression makes us 

uneasy.  therefore is important use methods such as an 

ice-breaker is an activity designed to 

help people know each other, and usually includes the exchange of names and other 

information about personal history.

This dynamic aims to break the fear of participants in meetings or presentations, or in our  

case with our colleagues of classes and thus make the group more United and strengthen the  

work team.

Management Leadership 



A manager is that person who supervises and gives follow-up to the funciones that the employees realize and since they contribute to the aims of the company

Whereas a leader on having taken decisions  bears in mind to his environment and that the 

growth of the company is in benefit also his equipment of trabajo.que it bears in mind the 

importance of the human capital to reach the  aims and proposed golas. 


We tend to confuse the concepts of manager and leader; the serious ideal thing that the 

person entrusted to realize this work was fulfilling with characteristics, aptitudes and 

functions of both. But both are in the habit of taking decisions from two points of view and 

different perspectives. 

Some of many differences that we can find are:

Management Competece


Share departments objetives with your staff and them ask them how they can help you achieve them 

The employees are a point key to reach the aims of the company, facilitate the work and the mission of the company, it is important contracts suitable persons for specific areas, since.

The ethics and the labor behavior, they form a part of the rituals of a company; what is looked by this type of strategies is transmit the employee which are the business policies, which the company wants of them, since they must be organized to reach the personal and labor expectations. Is there the reason for which the inductions to the moment to contract are so important, to create customs in the employees from his beginning in the company he carries that are disciplined and that identify 
what it does. 

Hold regular team revisa to ensure everyone is clear about what is expected of them

The bottom line is you have good communication with employees rune because in my opinion sounds heart for a business to reach success, as I mentioned before the human capital is more than important.
will be transmitted simply and directly to employees what the expectation that the company importacia them and having their work and their roles within the company;and they are part of the mission you have to achieve growth of the company and them.
When clarify which are the expectations, the roles and the processes, you give to your equipment all the tools that he needs to take your vision to the reality.

Initiate new ritual for the team

Social meetings and events organize couple to assemble the employees and his Superior they are in the habit of being a bridge in order that these know themselves and because they do not do friendship of professional type, he promotes the teamwork and the interpersonal relations inside the company what contributes a better functioning of the employees since this them motivates and comes to the company as model, and propellent of a human well established resource that recognizes the importance of the personnel.



Give feedback openly

The feedback is a practice positively and importantly, and overcoat necessary, helps to define the skills, strengths what turns it into a tool of learning both for the employees and for the company. 

Several types exist of feedback, but those who mas stand out inside the companies might be: 
Feedback Personal is that one where it is recognized or not the labor realized by a person, this helps to the constant improvement of the aptitudes and attitudes of the collaborators, is a difficult task in the case that this feedback is negative, even this way it is necessary to make them know the persons in qu they are failing in order that you improve his performance inside the company. 

Feedback Organizacional in the same way as the personnel, it is an important prop for the constant improvement of the service or product that the organization offers, and ciontribuye when identify which are the methods that are not working and which are the strategies and steps that must think for the constant growth of the company.


Dont try to be somone you are not


In this point to my opinion it refers to innovating, believing in another way of doing the things and of not imitating what others do inside the company, if not to work under our own standards and to believe faithfully that the work that we realize is important and was leading to the company or our own business to the success. Of equal form in important expiring with the processes of the company and not to take the opposite one to the Superiors, but defending the point of view that is had by base and coherent arguments.

Acknowlege the expertise of your staff




Example of recognitions:
  • Recognizing " value in action " in the meetings
  • Prizes for the employees who exemplify a certain value across his behavior 
  • The systems of recognition between colleagues · Rewards " value in action "
Examples recognized by FORTUNE of 100 Better Companies To work:

  • Marriott has a prize to the so called employee " The Prize of the Spirit of Serving " that associates honors that have been indicated by the guests by specific praises. The employees receive certificates with golden medal in the top part and a new medal of gold he joins whenever a praise is received.

ECONOMIA GENERAL, TAREA No.1



El Costo de Oportunidad:

Es el valor de la mejor alternativa posible

El concepto de costo de oportunidad fue se le retribuye al austriaco Friedrich von Wieser acuñó el concepto en 1914 en su obra Teoría de la Economía Social, por oposición a los clásicos ingleses, que consideraban que el costo era el gasto explícito para producir o recibir un bien o servicio.

Ejemplo: ¿Voy al trabajo caminando o en taxi? Si voy caminando, el no voy a pagar dinero, sin embargo, desde el punto de vista del costo de oportunidad no puedo afirmar que el costo es cero, debido a que debo tener en cuenta que ir caminando me tomará un tiempo. Si ir caminando al trabajo me toma 30 minutos, mientras que ir en taxi me toma 10 minutos, el costo de oportunidad de ir caminando al trabajo expresado en tiempo será 20 minutos. Si considero que caminar me reporta un beneficio a la salud, el costo de oportunidad de ir en taxi está representado por la suma de lo mejor que pudiera haber hecho con el dinero que me cobró el taxista, mas los beneficios para la salud que dejé de recibir por no ir caminando.

Lo que entiendo del costo de oportunidad: escoger la mejor opción tomando en cuenta los pro y los contras de esa decisión, a razón de que escoger una u otra alternativa nos lleve a renunciar a los beneficios que pueden o no generarme, hacia donde me lleva y cuales son los resultados a futuro.

Por lo antes descrito entiendo que no solamente se refiere a grades decisiones en la economía como las de un país, si no individualmente y como manejamos la nuestra. En parte de esto dependerá el tipo de vida que vivimos y el tipo de vida que deseamos vivir y que caminos tomamos para alcanzar las metas propuestas.

Es la incertidumbre de invertir en esa decisión que no solo puede costar dinero si no que también conlleva una inversión de tiempo, es preciso evaluar profundamente las ventajas y desventajas de las opciones.

Eficiente:


La eficiencia es la capacidad de realizar un trabajo determinado con pocos recursos en el menor tiempo posible y con resultados satisfactorios y beneficiosos.

En la economía se utiliza el termino Eficiencia de Pareto este criterio de utilidad sirve para establecer un sistema en los que no es posible perjudicar a alguno de los integrantes de un grupo inversor. 

La eficiencia abarca estudio y ejecución, visualizando cual es la mejor elección para cumplir exitosamente con el propósito de la meta.

El Producto Interno Bruto (PIB)

es el valor monetario de los bienes y servicios finales producidos por una economía en un período determinado. EL PIB es un indicador representativo que ayuda a medir el crecimiento o decrecimiento de la producción de bienes y servicios de las empresas de cada país, únicamente dentro de su territorio. Este indicador es un reflejo de la competitividad de las empresas.

La Economía 

es una ciencia social que estudia cómo los individuos o las sociedades usan o manejan los escasos recursos para satisfacer sus necesidades. Tales recursos pueden ser distribuidos entre la producción de bienes y servicios, y el consumo, ya sea presente o futuro, de diferentes personas o grupos de personas en la sociedad.

Para su estudio, la economía utiliza herramientas como las matemáticas y la estadística aplicadas en la econometría, la cual se usa ampliamente en el desarrollo y prueba de modelos económicos. 

El Desempleo 

se puede entender como un fenómeno social, producto de la crisis económica y las medidas de ajuste, la cual ocasionan que baje la demanda de trabajadores, aumente la inseguridad de inversiones generando menos empresas y, por lo tanto, menos empleos disponibles. En virtud de ello, es de suma importancia que el Estado realice una planificación económica que impulse el crecimiento de la economía.

El precio 

corresponde al valor monetario (en moneda) asignado a un bien o servicio que representa elementos como trabajo, Materia prima, esfuerzo, atención, tiempo, utilidad, etc.

El precio se conoce como la cantidad de dinero que la sociedad debe dar a cambio de un bien o servicio. Es también el monto de dinero asignado a un producto o servicio, o la suma de los valores que los compradores intercambian por los beneficios de tener o usar o disfrutar un bien o un servicio.

Inflación 

es un proceso de alza generalizada y prolongada de los precios. El movimiento persistente al alza del nivel general de precios o disminución del poder adquisitivo del dinero.
