Universities are currently expected to play a new role in society (in addition to research and teaching) by engaging in a third mission concerning socio-economic development. Universities also play an important role in encouraging entrepreneurs through training them in business planning. A business plan is a document summarising how an entrepreneur will create an organisation to exploit a business opportunity. Preparing a business plan draws on a wide range of knowledge from many business disciplines (e.g. finance, human resource management, intellectual property management, supply chain management, operations management and marketing). This article presents a computational tool for drawing up a business plan from a Colombian viewpoint by identifying the most relevant stages which are born in mind by national entities having most experience in creating and consolidating companies. Special emphasis was placed on analysing, designing and implementing a systems development life cycle for developing the software. Reviewing the literature concerning business plans formed an important part of the analysis stage (bearing a Colombian viewpoint in mind).
Actualmente las universidades esperan jugar un nuevo papel en la sociedad además de investigar y enseñar, aplicar la “tercera misión” de desarrollo socioeconómico. Por lo cual, las universidades desempeñan un papel importante en el fortalecimiento de la creación de empresas a través del entrenamiento en planes de negocios. Un plan de negocios es un documento que resume cómo un emprendedor creará una organización para explotar una oportunidad comercial. Preparar un plan de negocios requiere de una gran cantidad de conocimientos en diferentes disciplinas: finanzas; gestión humana, de derechos de propiedad intelectual, de cadenas de abastecimiento y de operaciones y mercadeo, entre otras. En este artículo se presenta una herramienta computacional que sirve como soporte en la elaboración de un plan de negocios, desde la perspectiva colombiana, identificando las etapas más relevantes tenidas en cuenta por entidades nacionales que tienen mayor trayectoria en el apoyo a la creación y consolidación de empresas. Para desarrollar el software se hizo énfasis en las etapas de análisis, diseño e implementación del ciclo de vida de desarrollo de sistemas. Durante la etapa de análisis fue importante la revisión de la literatura sobre planes de negocio teniendo en cuenta el caso colombiano.
