    Contratos de colaboración empresarial para la ejecución de proyectos en Colombia
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Arroyave Montoya, Jhonatan Darío; Henao Arango, María Cecilia
    Business collaboration contracts have different legal regimes, some of which are regulated by Colombian legislation, which are called typical contracts, and others are regulated by Decrees or agreements or are perfected by the simple fact of having the signature of the parties interested in making the contract, which are called atypical. Collaboration between organizations, whether public or private, has a wide range of options to choose the type of contract that best suits them, according to the project to be executed and each of these has the possibility of adapting to the circumstances or needs of the parties. The Commercial Code presents a different vision of the legal business, than the Civil Code, in terms of the criteria and classification of the legal act, which has led the commercial legislator to adopt theories or propose to improve or update some of the rules and laws that exist in the area. Business collaboration contracts are used to develop specific and temporary activities or tasks, which do not have the intention of becoming a permanent commercial partnership, but rather seek to execute large-scale projects, for which it is necessary to minimize risks, in addition to the advantages that come with aspects such as sharing knowledge, technology, assets, tools, machinery and services, among others, with those who meet the proposed objective, which is to complete the work for which they formed the alliance. The case study analyzes an infrastructure project, with the Public-Private Partnership contract, PP.P, which is a model of linking private capital to execute public structures, taking into account the need of the State to offer goods and services for the benefit of the community. The PP.P contract was regulated in the Colombian legal system, under Law 1508 of 2012, in which it is configured as a type of contractual relationship for large-scale works that are executed between the state and private companies. As public initiatives, the formulating entity is responsible for clearly and in detail defining the essential elements for an investment project, such as the community's interest in the project, the needs of the population impacted by the project, the strategies to satisfy them, the objectives and goals. All of this is done in an accurate assessment of the economic, environmental and social benefits that it generates, both for the community and for the state. For these reasons, the state entity must make an adequate analysis of technical alternatives and transactional schemes, in order to achieve the proposed objectives, taking into account everything that involves the affected population and not only the advantages and benefits that the project brings to the nation. This stage is developed with the participation of community representatives, professionals in different disciplines for the awareness stage, their governors, experts with experience in similar projects, companies and entities that are part of the APP and other entities that can make contributions in this phase, since any detailed study or additional information will always help each of these activities to be as truthful as possible, as a way to reduce the risks so that the tasks that have to be executed in the next one are more accurate, that is, so that there are no traumas or unforeseen events that affect the continuity and progress of the project. The APP La Dorada - Chiriguaná project has been executed in compliance with the structuring stages and advancing in the selection process of the successful bidder, so it is essential to ensure transparency and efficiency in the selection stage and the subsequent awarding of the contract to guarantee the success of the project in its implementation phase. It has been necessary to make changes to the schedule due to the high complexity of the project structure, which has been an opportunity for private parties interested in participating to make observations on the specifications that have been incorporated with clear rules for participants in each of the stages of the process.

    Análisis de riesgos asociados a la ejecución de proyectos financiados con recursos del Sistema General de Regalías (SGR) en la Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Salazar Montoya, Carolina; Sánchez Rondón, José Armando; Diez Benjumea, Jhon Miguel
    The main objective of this research project is to analyze the risks associated with the projects of the Sistema General de Regalías (SGR) executed by the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia. The study focuses on the identification, classification and prioritization of the risks that impact the development and fulfillment of the objectives of these projects. Likewise, a systematic analysis of the priority risks is carried out, in order to understand their possible effects on the expected results, and mitigation strategies are proposed for their effective management. To achieve these purposes, four specific objectives have been established, developing a study approach that combines qualitative and quantitative techniques, such as expert interviews, documentary analysis and surveys of key actors involved in project implementation. This project has the capacity to contribute to the strengthening of risk management in the SGR projects, promoting an improvement in efficiency and transparency during their execution. The proposed mitigation strategies could be implemented by both the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia and other executing entities, thus ensuring the success and sustainability of the projects. Consequently, it is considered that this project has the potential to improve public perception regarding the management of SGR resources and to strengthen trust between the beneficiary communities and the entities involved. In addition, it can serve as a model for other institutions carrying out similar projects in the country.

    (Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Quintero Vallejo, Juan Carlos; Arroyave Hernández, Valeria; Garnica Barraza, Ernesto José
    This research analyzes the project management methodology used in the Information Technology Department at EAFIT University during the period 2019-2024, aiming to identify lessons learned and propose improvement actions. The study examines 156 projects through a mixed methodological approach that combines document review, surveys, and in depth interviews. The findings reveal significant challenges in three main dimensions: organizational capacity, knowledge management, and benefits measurement. The analysis shows that 51.2% of projects present delays exceeding the acceptable 10% threshold, 67.47% of benefits lack initial metrics, and there is a significant gap between lessons learned documentation (80.6% participation) and their effective application (35.2%). The research identifies 57 specific improvement actions and proposes a structured method for their prioritization, considering both potential impact on key indicators and implementation feasibility. These actions address critical aspects such as capacity management, knowledge transfer, and optimization of documentation and monitoring processes. The results provide a reference framework for improving technology project management in educational institutions, emphasizing the importance of balancing methodological rigor with operational adaptability.

    Análisis de prefactibilidad para la implementación de una nueva unidad de negocio en Ci Iblu S.A.S. : exportación de productos maderables a Estados Unidos
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Villegas Rojas, María Camila; Polo Vargas, Sara; Henao Arango, María Cecilia
    This feasibility study evaluates the potential for establishing a new business unit dedicated to exporting wood products for architectural finishes to the construction sector in the United States, specifically targeting the state of Florida. The analysis investigates the logistical, technical, and financial capabilities of the company CI IBLU S.A.S. and assesses the market conditions in the United States for wood products like choibá, known for its use in architectural finishes, particularly in humid outdoor environments. The methodology follows the ONUDI guidelines for project evaluation. The study examines several key areas: the economic and environmental, the construction sector in Florida, the competition from imported woods, notably from Brazil, and the operational capacity of CI IBLU S.A.S. in Colombia. It also addresses logistical, legal, and environmental considerations relevant to exporting these products. The findings suggest that CI IBLU S.A.S. could capitalize on the devaluation of the Colombian peso and the increasing demand for such wood products in the U.S. market. However, the company must navigate competition from established exporters like Brazil. To successfully enter this market, implementing a strategy focused on differentiation and price competitiveness will be crucial.

    Análisis de madurez y diseño de una oficina de dirección de proyectos (PMO) para la empresa Argoval SAS
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025) López Aristizábal, José Luis; Sánchez Duque, Pablo Simón; Tobar Guinand, José Mauricio
    This master's degree project entitled "Maturity analysis and design of a project management office (PMO) for the company ARGOVAL SAS" seeks to evaluate the level of maturity in the organization's project management and propose the creation of a PMO project office. This with the purpose of standardizing and strengthening project management in the organization, in terms of its main economic activity, optimizing its project execution processes and thus achieving greater satisfaction among its customers and more precise quality control. Currently, ARGOVAL SAS operates without a formal project management office. Instead, it concentrates all operational responsibilities in one project manager, leaving execution in the hands of various coordinators. This organizational model leads to unstructured decision-making, where each individual acts, according to his or her own judgment and discretion. This lack of standardization has led to the need to create a PMO that centralizes best practices and provides an accurate and defined system for project management. The master's degree project proposes the implementation of a Project Management Office (PMO) in the company ARGOVAL SAS, with the aim of improving the management of its industrial projects. Currently, the organization lacks defined standards and procedures, which has impacted the quality of project delivery and sometimes customer losses. The lack of a centralized structure for project management has led to improvised decisions and disjointed execution. Through the PMO, the aim is to establish a roadmap with precise standards in the planning, execution, control and closure of projects, in order to improve efficiency, quality of services and customer perception, in addition to increasing the profitability of the company.

    Estudio de prefactibilidad para la creación de un programa de formación, capacitación e implementación de mano de obra para la confección, dirigido a la población carcelaria del Estado colombiano
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Diaz Mateus, Oscar Alberto; Henao Arango, María Cecilia
    The present work evaluates the prefeasibility of a training and capacity-building program in garment manufacturing aimed at the prison population in Colombia, as a response to the penitentiary crisis characterized by overcrowding and high criminal recidivism currently experienced in the country. The proposal aims to equip inmates with productive skills, improving their quality of life during incarceration and facilitating their labor and social reintegration upon completing their sentences. The study employs the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) project methodology, which addresses the technical, economic, social, organizational, and market aspects of the project. Additionally, the proposal suggests using the textile industry, a key sector in the Colombian economy, as the driving force behind this resocialization initiative, leveraging its capacity to generate employment and promote productivity. The social impact of the program is twofold: on the one hand, it contributes to reducing criminal recidivism by providing inmates with tools for their future, and on the other hand, it strengthens the social fabric by creating a closer connection between the productive sector and corporate social responsibility. The prefeasibility study results indicate that the program is technically and economically viable, and its implementation could generate benefits not only for the inmates but also for society at large by aligning with the resocialization and productivity policies of the Colombian State.

    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Yepes Posada, Juan José; Gómez Salazar, Elkin Arcesio
    This study analyzes the financial and technical feasibility for the Fábrica de Licores y Alcoholes de Antioquia (FLA) to transition from a shared technological infrastructure with the Government of Antioquia to an independent technological infrastructure. Through an exhaustive financial analysis and technical evaluation of both scenarios, it was identified that maintaining the shared infrastructure (Scenario 1) is financially more viable, with lower operational costs and greater short-term profitability. However, the independent infrastructure (Scenario 2) offers significant technical advantages that can improve efficiency, productivity, and organizational well-being, aligning the Fábrica de Licores y Alcoholes de Antioquia (FLA) with the demands of Industry 4.0. This study concludes that a strategic transition toward technological independence could enhance the competitiveness of the FLA as a state-owned industrial and commercial company.
