Modelo empresarial para la empresa AGROSILVER en el municipio de Sabana de Torres, Santander, Colombia

Abstract

The Purpose of the project was to implement a business model for the company AGROSILVER, located in Sabana de Torres, Santander. The model pretended to create an administrative, productive, and financial structure that could lead to further certifications such as Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), Good Livestock Practices (GLP), as well as RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) certification. A projective qualitative and quantitative research was conducted by means of implementing surveys, interviews, and field observations which allowed a deep analysis of the company’s current situation, leading to the suggestion of possible alternatives to optimize the administrative, productive, and financial processes of the business. AGROSILVER’s information of the last two business years was used to create the SWOT base of this project. As a result of the matrix, a proposal for the administrative structure was presented, which included a new business mission and vision, an organizational chart with departments, divisions, responsibilities, and job profiles. The proposal also suggested the implementation of standardized programs on productive processes and included an evaluation of the company's financial statements in order to determine the business’ possible growth within a period of five years and to predict the possible profitability of the company based of different financial models. Finally, improvement proposals were presented. These proposals will substantially favour AGROSILVER's organizational model, enhancing the company’s position in the market, enabling in turn, medium to long-term sustainability.
