An ambitious global development agenda was adopted at a UN Summit on September 25, 2015. The new global goals, called the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), will require trillions of dollars to accomplish over the next 15 years. This magnitude of financing will surpass the current capacities of governments and international donors. The World Bank Group and its partners recognize the need to leverage the “billions” in Official Development Assistance (ODA) to attract and mobilize “trillions” in investments of all kinds: public and private, national and global, in both capital and capacity.

Thanks to the economic liberalization in several countries over the last few decades, the world has witnessed an exponential increase in the free flow of capital across countries, even more so in emerging economies. This has resulted in a globally interconnected ecosystem of banks and financial markets engaged in foreign exchange transactions that are continuously growing in volume, sophistication and complexity. That, in turn, has attracted a plethora of participants whose explicit intention is to either profit from or hedge against the heightened level of risks in the foreign exchange markets.  

This economics and finance course will unravel those complexities and help you gain a comprehensive understanding of foreign exchange markets: the underlying theories, the instruments traded and how the associated risks and potential adverse outcome are addressed/redressed using several techniques such as currency derivatives.

The fixed and mobile Internet and related technologies exert a profound influence on how business and social institutions evolve, how they are challenged—and sometimes, even displaced. Companies that were non-existent a few short years ago, including Facebook, LinkedIn, and Uber, have dramatically changed how we interact, communicate and get from point A to B. Even Amazon and Google are relatively “young” by any measure. If you’re an entrepreneur, investor, manager, or student, you need thoughtful approaches to navigate and win in this new environment.

This course is organized around four broad themes and we will use relevant theory and analysis, as well as numerous practical examples to develop our key learning points.

The themes are:

• Behavioral foundations for understanding and navigating the new online-offline landscape
• New forms of interaction, including formation of networks and reputation building
• Tools and principles of digital marketing action including online advertising on fixed and mobile devices
• New media platforms and emergence of “organic” celebrities and communities

This course is beneficial to marketing professionals, analysts, entrepreneurs, small business owners, investors, and consumers This course evolved from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School’s very first course on digital marketing and e-commerce.

This course introduces a wide range of manufacturing processes including machining, injection molding, and 3D printing; and explains the fundamental principles and practices of manufacturing at scale.

For each process, 2.008x explains the underlying physical principles, provides several practical examples and demonstrations, and summarizes design for manufacturing principles. Lectures are also included on cost estimation, quality and variation, robotics, and sustainability. Together, this knowledge will enable you to plan a manufacturing process for a multi-part product, make quantitative estimates of cost and throughput, and recognize important constraints and tradeoffs.

Since the introduction of mass production, the concept of “quality” has evolved from simple assembly line inspections to a broad approach to production and management involving an entire corporation. Quality has become a critical driver for long-term success through continuous process improvement and customer satisfaction. Quality Management today concerns the entire value chain, encompassing multi-tiered supplier networks and customer service and returns.

This business and management course balances the quantitative elements of quality engineering with a managerial approach to using quality in an organization to effect change. We cover the statistical basics needed for a Six-Sigma Green Belt certification, following the well-known process-improvement cycle: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. The most important quality methods and techniques are taught, including sampling, statistical process control, process capability, regression analysis, and design of experiments. Quality management is examined, from the viewpoint of quality incorporated into product design, measuring and controlling quality in production and improving quality, using interactive, guided projects and case studies. The course closes with the presentation of a full Six-Sigma project.

The contents of this course are essentially the same as those of the corresponding TUM class (Quality Engineering and Management) and will enable you to immediately understand and apply quality concepts in your work and research.

WHY TAKE THIS COURSE?

• Quality issues appear everywhere and affect the entire organisation.
• You'll quickly master quality concepts so that you can apply quality tools and drive quality programs within your own organisation.
• You'll gain the fundamentals for a Six-Sigma Green Belt in a manageable and positive learning environment, along with the chance to discuss with staff and fellow learners worldwide.

Um dos desafios enfrentados diariamente pelas instituições públicas, organizações não governamentais, agências de desenvolvimento e outros agentes que promovem o desenvolvimento econômico e social na América Latina e no Caribe é transformar propostas em realidades concretas que melhorem o bem-estar da sociedade e permitam que esses resultados sejam alcançados dentro do prazo e com os recursos disponíveis.

Este curso apresenta conceitos e ferramentas que podem ser aplicados na gestão de projetos e gerar uma mudança substancial para atingir os objetivos propostos. Assim, este MOOC se propõe a fortalecer a capacidade de gestão de projetos de desenvolvimento na região para que sejam executados de forma eficaz e efetiva.

Este curso inclui casos práticos que ajudam a entender os principais conceitos e ferramentas para o gerenciamento de projetos, apresentações de pessoal certificado como Project Management Professional (PMP)^®, com ampla experiência no assunto, fóruns de discussão e leituras selecionadas.

A base conceitual deste curso é a metodologia PM4R (Project Management for Results), desenvolvida pelo Instituto Interamericano de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (INDES), do BID, cujos conteúdos baseiam-se no Project Management Institute, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^® Guide) – Fifth Edition, Project Management Institute, Inc., 2013.

Embora essas melhores práticas tenham estado presentes por muitos anos em projetos empresariais privados, nos últimos anos, o BID tem liderado o processo de sua incorporação progressiva ao setor público e aos projetos de desenvolvimento, contribuindo para a construção de realidades que melhoram vidas.

O INDES, como um Registered Education Provider (R.E.P.), foi aprovado pelo Project Management Institute (PMI)^® para fornecer 30 unidades de desenvolvimento profissional (PDUs), caso você obtenha o certificado deste curso.

Los países de América Latina y el Caribe enfrentan considerables desafíos de la gestión pública, tales como el diseño de políticas públicas que tengan en consideración los puntos de vista de los diferentes actores; las demandas ciudadanas y los escasos recursos disponibles; la asignación de los recursos financieros; la calidad de los servicios públicos o el seguimiento y la evaluación de la gestión, entre otros.
