About CIMON
The Centre for Business Research and Modelling of the Universidad Santo Tomás (CIMON), conducts research activities in the Faculty of Economics and Business. Amongst its main academic and research areas are business studies and entrepreneurial project management. Therefore, CIMON is concerned with analysing the decision-making process in companies, with special emphasis on small and medium-sized enterprises.
CIMON’s Aims and Objectives
CIMON’s Mission is applied research on decision-making in the field of business. Thus, CIMON’s focus is to study how macro- and micro-economic factors, among others, affect business decision-making, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises.
To this end, CIMON uses two tools: real ventures involving CIMON, and business venture simulation, through the Centre’s business simulation laboratory. Another part of this objective is the incorporation of academics and students to various projects and programmes using these tools at national level.
