Abstract
Se realizó un estudio sobre los temas de tendencia en el campo de la economía y comercio internacionales y del contenido de los cursos sobre esta disciplina que imparten las escuelas de negocios líderes mundiales y referentes globales. Para ello, se elaboró un estado del arte que identifica los tópicos de vanguardia, y un benchmarking que analiza el contenido programático de cursos sobre economía y comercio internacionales de una serie de escuelas de negocios de alta reputación académica. Los resultados del estado del arte enfatizan la interrelación entre los cambios económicos globales y la digitalización, la volatilidad de los mercados, la resiliencia empresarial, la internacionalización de negocios, la geopolítica y la sostenibilidad en un contexto global, mientras que los hallazgos del benchmarking resaltan la necesidad de una preparación académica integral ante escenarios de alta volatilidad e incertidumbre. Revela que hay un núcleo conceptual común en todos los programas, fundamentado en teorías clásicas del comercio (ventaja comparativa, modelos de Heckscher-Ohlin y Uppsala, etc.) y macroeconomía abierta (tipos de cambio, balanza de pagos, inflación, mercados financieros). Asimismo, se identifica una integración casi universal de teoría y práctica mediante casos de estudio y ejercicios con datos. La principal divergencia entre programas de los cursos parece sugerir que radica en el enfoque pedagógico: mientras escuelas como Chicago Booth y Stanford priorizan temas o materias de rigor cuantitativo y los modelos formales, otras como HBS y Oxford, enfatizan el análisis de políticas públicas y des los fundamentales de la macroeconomía y el nuevo aspecto geoeconómico de los negocios. La literatura central converge en los libros de Mankiw/Blanchard y de Krugman/Obstfeld para economía y comercio internacional. La metodología se basó en un muestreo intencional no probabilístico, seleccionando instituciones de élite que cumplieran con criterios de relevancia temática, accesibilidad pública de sus syllabus, o referencias de contenido en la web y presencia en rankings internacionales. Como conclusión general, se determina que un curso contemporáneo sobre economía y comercio internacionales debe ser integral; combinando esta base teórica muy sólida con el análisis de los tres fundamentales de macroeconomía: inflación, tasa de interés y tipo de cambio en el comercio internacional. Además, debe ofrecer amplia cobertura en los demás aspectos de balanza de pagos, de estrategias corporativas de internacionalización para pymes y multinacionales, así como también incorporar tendencias emergentes (sostenibilidad, geoestrategia) y sus impactos sobre el comercio global, y proyectos aplicados para desarrollar habilidades analíticas y estratégicas en un entorno económico global volátil, cambiante y complejo.
A study was conducted on trending topics in the field of international economics and trade, and the content of courses on this discipline taught by leading global business schools and global benchmarks. To this end, a state-of-the-art study was conducted to identify cutting-edge topics, and benchmarking was carried out to analyze the program content of courses on international economics and trade at a number of highly reputable business schools. The results of the state-of-the-art study emphasize the interrelationship between global economic changes and digitalization, market volatility, business resilience, business internationalization, geopolitics, and sustainability in the global context, while the benchmarking findings highlight the need for comprehensive academic preparation in the face of highly volatile and uncertain scenarios. It reveals that there is a common conceptual core in all programs, based on classical trade theories (comparative advantage, Heckscher-Ohlin and Uppsala models) and open macroeconomics (exchange rates, balance of payments, inflation, financial markets). Likewise, an almost universal integration of theory and practice is identified through case studies and data exercises. The main divergence between the course programs seems to lie in the pedagogical approach: while schools such as Chicago Booth and Stanford prioritize quantitative rigor and formal models, others,such as HBS and Oxford, emphasize the analysis of public policy and the fundamentals of macroeconomics and the new geoeconomic aspect of business. The core literature converges in the books by Mankiw/Blanchard and Krugman/Obstfeld on economics and international trade. The methodology was based on non-probabilistic purposive sampling, selecting elite institutions that met criteria of thematic relevance, public accessibility of their syllabi, or content references on the web, and presence in international rankings. As a general conclusion, it is determined that a contemporary course on international economics and trade must be comprehensive, combining this very solid theoretical basis with the analysis of the three fundamentals of macroeconomics: inflation, interest rates, and exchange rates in international trade. In addition, it should offer broad coverage of other aspects of the balance of payments, corporate internationalization strategies for SMEs and multinationals, as well as incorporate emerging trends (sustainability, geostrategy) and their impacts on global trade and applied projects to develop analytical and strategic skills in a volatile, changing, and complex global economic environment.
