Productive Development

Like other Latin American countries, Chile depends heavily on the activity of small and medium-sized companies to sustain some macro and microeconomic indicators. In particular, one of the productive development agencies that has taken a leading role in this objective is the Technical Cooperation Service (SERCOTEC). This institution has defined a set of support programs in different areas in order to meet the needs of this business segment. In this context, the article provides an overview of institutional learning, lessons learned, and economic impacts obtained by the Business Development Centers program, describing the central role of this innovative public policy that has responded actively and efficiently to the growth of the ventures and companies assisted between the years 2015-2019.

Risk Aggregation

Summary Studies show that the implemented and certified early risk detection systems in practice are often unable to identify developments that could jeopardize a company’s existence. This is due to methodological weaknesses, e.g. insufficient consideration of the liquidity effect of risks, the lack of analysis of extreme risks and, in particular, the absence of adequate risk aggregation that considers interdependencies and hence combination effects of risks. In many recent insolvencies, among them the here investigated case of Gerry Weber International AG, it is easy to see that the early risk detection system, as explained in the Annual Report, has not fulfilled the legal requirements. In order to avoid such „unexpected insolvencies“, it is necessary to implement advanced risk management procedures and pursue audits that are more rigorous. The article at hand develops a concise but comprehensive assessment scheme that may not only be easily applied within companies but also by external auditors. Zusammenfassung Die meisten börsennotierten Gesellschaften haben ein Risikofrüherkennungssystem, das vom Abschlussprüfer ohne den Verweis auf schwerwiegende Mängel testiert wird. Tatsächlich zeigen Studien, dass die in der Praxis implementierten Systeme häufig ungeeignet sind, um an sich erkennbare bestandsgefährdende Entwicklungen zu identifizieren. Dies liegt an methodischen Schwächen, z. B. an einer fehlenden Betrachtung der Liquiditätswirkung von Risiken, einer vernachlässigten Analyse von Extremrisiken und insb. am Fehlen einer Risikoaggregation, die auch Kombinationseffekte berücksichtigt. Bei Insolvenzen, wie hier im Beispiel von Gerry Weber, lässt sich bei Betrachtung des dokumentierten Risikomanagementsystems erkennen, dass die gesetzlichen Anforderungen nicht erfüllt wurden. Um solche „überraschenden Insolvenzen“ zu vermeiden, ist es erforderlich, bessere Verfahren zu implementieren und durch Prüfer testieren zu lassen, was bisher nicht konsequent geschieht. Der Beitrag schlägt ein einfaches aber umfassendes Prüfschema für Risikofrüherkennungssysteme vor, das sowohl intern als auch von externen Prüfern verwendet werden kann.

Remote Learning

In response to the spread of the Covid‑19 pandemic, the President of South Africa declared a national lockdown that commenced on 27 March 2020. This posed numerous challenges to the higher education sector, one of which was the preparation of students forced to stay at home to be able to study remotely under unique and often unfavourable circumstances. This article outlines and reflects on the conceptualisation, development, and implementation of an online orientation programme aimed at preparing students to rapidly move to emergency remote learning as a result of a nationwide lockdown. Teaching and Learning Centre staff in the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management at a South African university rapidly created a short online orientation programme in the institutional Learning Management System, using Salmon’s five-stage model as a conceptual framework. The objective was to enable students to acquire the skills and knowledge required for continuing with the university academic programme from 20 April 2020 via emergency remote learning. The orientation programme covered the priority areas of how to get started in emergency remote learning, broad study skills, how to use the required technologies for learning, and managing personal well‑being during social isolation and emergency remote learning. In this article, the conceptualisation and development of the orientation programme is analysed, before reflecting on its implementation, challenges, mitigating measures, and lessons learned. Feedback from students indicates that the majority of students felt more prepared for continuing the academic programme, although they still reported feeling anxious about the many uncertainties. The intervention emerges as a useful strategy for helping students transition during a crisis and contributes to the understanding of how to prepare students for rapid transition to Emergency Remote Learning.
