Subsequently, a close examination of how these leadership styles directly influence business development will be conducted, taking into consideration both their short- and long-term impacts. Furthermore, a meticulous assessment of key variables interacting with project leadership, such as the business environment, organizational culture, and available resources, will be carried out.

This work seeks to carry out a pre-feasibility study for the creation of massive events companies, dedicated to the presentation of artists in the coffee region, implementing theories and concepts relevant to this business idea, since theories on market studies, sectorial technical plans, massive events and pre-feasibility and criteria of administrative studies are investigated. For this purpose, a mixed methodological study is carried out with a descriptive scope where the necessary information is collected in a probabilistic way to carry out a pre-feasibility study of the market, the organization and commercial viability of a company dedicated to the preparation of these massive events, for which a line of specific objectives is established in three levels to define, establish and carry out a business plan. In order to answer the question: What is the economic prefeasibility of a business idea of massive events dedicated to the presentation of musical artists in the coffee region?Ítem Foreign direct investment, institutional quality, economic freedom and entrepreneurship in emerging markets(Elsevier, 2014) Herrera-Echeverri, Hernán; Haar, Jerry; Estévez-Bretón, Juan Benavides; School of Economics and Finance, Universidad EAFIT, Carrera 49 N° 7 Sur, 50, Medellin, Colombia; Pino Global Entrepreneurship Center, College of Business, Florida International University, 11200 SW 8th Street, CBC 201, Miami, FL 33199, United States; Cider, Interdisciplinary Development Studies Center, Universidad de los Andes, Calle 18A No. 0-03Este, Edificio PU, Bogotá, Colombia; Economía y Finanzas; Finanzas; Grupo de Investigación Finanzas y BancaThis study investigates the relationship between foreign direct investment, institutional quality, economic freedom, and entrepreneurship in emerging markets. The research compares the capacity and appetite for business creation among high-income, low-income and emerging countries. The results are based on a panel study of data, from 2004 to 2009 for 87 countries, using as its source “The World Bank Entrepreneurship Snapshots” to look at the connection between business creation, institutional quality, market freedom and foreign direct investment (FDI). The findings reveal a strong positive relationship between institutional quality and business generation in all three of the above categories. The freedom to create businesses and invest has an impact on business generation in emerging countries, while the influence of international trade appears more important as a spur to the genesis of business in low-income countries. Finally, there is a direct and significant relationship between FDI and business development in emerging countries. This result is consistent with “the spillover theory of entrepreneurship” (, and ).Ítem Investment strategies in the Latin American agri-business sub-sectors of agricultural commodities, biofuels and meat chains(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2018-01-01) Saravia-Matus, S.; Saravia Matus, J.; Sotomayor, O.; Rodriguez, A.; Saravia-Matus, S.; Saravia Matus, J.; Sotomayor, O.; Rodriguez, A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Mecatrónica y Diseño de MáquinasPurpose The purpose of this paper is to review and examine the recent investment trends of firms operating in the food, feed and biofuel production and processing sectors in Latin America. The inter-related nature of these three sub-sectors and the great expansion they have gone through in the last decade showcases a series of socioeconomic and environmental policy challenges thus making it relevant to identify their different business models through a typology. Design/methodology/approach The paper first presents an unprecedented literature review based on field observations and media coverage of agri-business strategies of the food, feed and biofuel production in the region. It then moves to an in-depth analysis of investment operations that serve to classify such firms into a business model typology considering degree of internationalization and integration. The typology is a useful mechanism to enhance public policy analysis and uncover market or government incentives behind business decisions. Findings By focusing on investment strategies, the paper illustrates how both market and government incentives shape and affect the performance and consolidation of different players in the food, feed and biofuel sub-sectors in Latin America. The resulting effects have strong economic as well as social and environmental implications because such economic activities have an impact on global food and energy security. Research limitations/implications Limitations include a reliance on largely qualitative evidence and research methods due to unavailability of consistent numerical data in these specific agri-business sub-sectors. Originality/value This paper is unique in its focus on business models in a particularly relevant set of agri-business sub-sectors in Latin America and its implications to promote investment and innovation in value chain development while considering regional-specific challenges.Ítem Investment strategies in the Latin American agri-business sub-sectors of agricultural commodities, biofuels and meat chains(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2018-01-01) S.
