Get PDFThe production chain of Amazonian fruits, such as copoazú, is gaining relevance due to its food potential and its applications in various industries. In Colombia, especially in the department of Caquetá, copoazú is presented as a business opportunity that can contribute to economic and social development, particularly in areas affected by violence and poverty. This internship focuses on developing a training plan in the technical management of the copoazú crop for producers in the Balcanes district of the municipality of Florencia, Caquetá. This plan aims to improve ecological agriculture and provide farmers with technical knowledge that will allow them to increase their productivity and improve their quality of life. The training plan will include learning modules that will address the specific needs and requirements of Copoazú farmers. A qualitative approach of a descriptive nature will be used, applying techniques such as surveys and interviews with six farmers selected for convenience. This methodology will allow for the collection of detailed data on participants\u27 perceptions and knowledge, facilitating the design of more effective educational strategies. The study also considers the international context of copoazú cultivation, highlighting the lack of technical assistance and training in producing countries such as Bolivia and Peru. In Colombia, although copoazú has high economic and nutritional potential, producers face challenges related to technical assistance and market integration. The importance of promoting sustainable agriculture is emphasized throughout the document, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals, such as "zero hunger", "responsible production and consumption" and "climate action". The implementation of agroecological practices and the strengthening of farmers\u27 organizational capacity are essential to ensure sustainable development in the Amazon region. In conclusion, this internship work seeks to establish a sustainable agricultural program in the Balcanes village, optimizing copoazú crops and improving the living conditions of farmers through a technical training plan adapted to their needs and the local context

Organizational Culture as a Strategic Pillar: A Theoretical Analysis of Models, Levels, and Typologies
Get PDFIntroduction: This paper approached the study of organizational culture from a theoretical perspective, recognizing its historical evolution and its relevance in business performance. From the 18th century to the present, organizational culture was conceived as a determining factor in the way organizations operate, adapt to change and project their identity to the external environment.Development: During the development of the research, theoretical models proposed by authors such as Edgar Schein, Chiavenato, Denison, Harrison and Ansoff were analyzed. Each one provided different levels, functions and classifications that allowed understanding organizational culture as a phenomenon composed of visible elements -such as artifacts, symbols and structures- and invisible ones -such as values, beliefs and basic assumptions. Power-oriented, norm-oriented, results-oriented and people-oriented cultural typologies were also studied, highlighting how these influenced staff motivation, decision-making and leadership.Conclusions: The research concluded that a strong and consistent organizational culture represented a competitive advantage for companies. It was found that results- and people-oriented models favored more flexible and innovative environments, while rigid cultures based on power or norms were less effective. Finally, the importance of strategically managing organizational culture to strengthen corporate identity, improve productivity and foster long-term sustainability was highlighted
