Modelo Organizacional de Nirpharma y su Efecto en el Desarrollo Local

Abstract

The global cannabis industry has experienced a remarkable growth in recent years, and in Colombia it has emerged as a leading player in the field of medical cannabis. This thesis project focuses on analyzing the organizational and productive model of Nirpharma, a Colombian cannabis company located in Sutamarchán, Boyacá, and its possible impact on the economic development of the department. The proposed methodology includes a literature review, observation and qualitative analysis, data collection was done under a survey applied to employees of the mentioned company, which revealed a dual organizational structure, combining characteristics of simple structure and divisional form; this combination provides agility and adaptability, but can also present tensions. A review of international cases was also conducted, in which GreenHarvest Cannabis Co and Flow Kana stand out for their adoption of sustainable practices in the cannabis industry, which generate environmental benefits and foster regional development. These cases inspire Nirpharma to explore more sustainable agricultural practices and collaborate with the local community not only to generate environmental well-being, but also economic and social development. This integrated approach can contribute significantly to the sustainable growth of the cannabis industry in Colombia, benefiting both business and regional development.
