Small enterprises around the Campus in coordination + government of Alvaro Obregon + Service-learning of bachelor students ______________________________________ = communities positively impacted. In what ways has faculty and students on these methods contribute to positive social change?

  7. Methodology denominated Service-Learning, which it had being implemented in United States since the sixties. In Portland since 1995; but in Mexico it has been practiced by Monterrey Tech since 2006 in thirty three campus around the country. Schemes of community based participation allow integration of theory and practice. A community partnership get acquainted of a commitment with people to take care of their quality of life, so there is a dialogic relationship between small business and students, who elaborate business plans. These small companies have an income between240 -400 USD (three and five thousands pesos).

  8. Small enterprises around Campus Santa Fe are analyzed by students, so they can have a professional practice of their field in order to improve their way to manage their accounting, advertising, short and long term plans. • Interested trading men get acquainted of their training needs including computation. • Only through Monterrey Tech process, governmental authorities approved financial aid to these business men. • Example: Video _

  9. CORPORATE ZONE- Results of the survey • Most companies are 3-5 years old. • They operate with 30 employees • 9.5% of the companies earned about 1 to 3 millions • Survey will be helpful for county to know how significant economic and commercial information.

  10. So, in coordination with Alvaro Obregon government authorities, they have had decided how can they afforded any financial support (fifty thousand pesos to four hundred USD) with Tec´s intermediation.

  11. It is also important to kwon the employment capacity of the area and seek support of certain employment sources. Survey represents a percentage of companies that did make the interview; many other companies denied the market research tool. In other cases, the employees that replied the questionnaires had no complete knowledge of the companies; this affects the results given in the end. Companies also consider the questionnaires a form of giving away confidential information. The access to business centers was difficult. For a complete access to the business center, they demanded the student should have made a previous formal appointment. The Tecnológico de Monterrey’s Social Incubator is part of Mexico’s “stimulate development strategy”, supporting entrepreneurs in the development and growth of micro-enterprises and the creation of new businesses.
