Abstract
This document is the final delivery on an investment project of an educative
institution in the state of Hidalgo, México.
The protocol for contents was defined by the PMI and the protocol for the form
follows the guidelines of the American Psychological Association.
Chapter I includes the environment assessment, analysis made through the
population, demographics, legal and educative analysis of the area. A primary approach of
a SWOT matrix started here.
Chapter II includes different important data about the internal analysis: a competitor
status research, the legal procedures and permits to open the institution, the inventory of
material resources, the organizational chart and functions attached and the first draft of the
Educative Model.
Chapter III starts the development of the strategic phase of the project. Economic
assessment starts on facilities, equipment and materials; the marketing plan also initiates as
well as a deeper implementation of the educative functions. Maybe the most crucial section
is the implementation of the relation: objectives – strategies – interventions, trough a couple
of scorecards to join up of all the elements.
Last Chapter is the forecasting section. Final numbers are developed in relation with
human resources, school enrollment and basic financial figures.
To conclude this abstract we dare to say, the development of this project started as a
strategy for accomplishing academic objectives, but as it advanced, it turned into a dream
looking forward to getting out of the virtual world of a data file, to be part of a new Vision
for the ñañu community. The two of us will make sure this happens.
Key words: Planning, investment, strategy, resources, Hidalgo, Ixmiquilpan.

Institutional Investment Project 7
I. Environment Assessment
The objective of this investment project is to make a complete research of a specific
area of México in order to decide the type of educative institution to open for covering the
needs of the community. A requirement to take in account is that two ethnic groups coexist
in the area.
Actopan, Tasquillo and Ixmiquilpan are counties of Hidalgo State, the three of them
conform the region known as El Valle del Mezquital, because their vegetation is made out
basically of mesquites. This working team has decided to develop this project for that area,
specifically for Ixmiquilpan, for several reasons.
1. This is one of the poorest regions of México.
2. We have access to community members who will act as privileged informants.
3. For different reasons, finance would be easier to get for this zone of the country for
educative projects.
1.1 Population and demographics of the area
El Valle del Mezquital has a population around 220 thousand inhabitants; around
50% belongs to the otomíes or ñañús.1 Ixmiquilpan is the most important city of the Valle
del Mezquital, and it is one of the 84 municipalities of Hidalgo, in central-eastern Mexico;
according to INEGI, in 2004, the total population was 75,833 inhabitants, where 40,334
were women and 35499 men (Zúñiga, 2006). 2
Since 1980, the Hidalgo population decreased rapidly because of the introduction of
policies of birth control to reduce the demographic dynamics of México. Because of this, de
reduction was even more notorious in the Valle of Mezquital. This total of 75,833
inhabitants represents 3.39% of the total population of Hidalgo State.
Let us see the next table to understand part of the dynamics of the population.1 Comisión Nacional para el Desarrollo de los Pueblos Indígenas, 2002.2 We may add, since sources for these data are easy to find, that according to the II Conteo
de Población y Vivienda in 2005, there are 73,903 inhabitants. The majority of the
population is concentrated in the municipality head and the main locations as Panales, El
Tephé, Maguey Blanco, Orizabita. The difference between 2004 and 2005 is not
meaningful.
Institutional Investment Project 8
Table 1. Total population in some places in Hidalgo, 1980 – 2005. Source: INEGI.
Municipality 1980 1988 1990 1995 2000 2005
Ixmiquilpan 52,124 67,772 65,934 73,838 75,833 79,903
Huejutla 58,806 69,242 86,028 97,387 108,239 115,786
Tizayuca 16,454 25,462 30,293 39,357 46,344 56,573
Pachuca 135,248 176,649 180,630 220,488 245,208 275,578
The average age of the population is 20 years, showing a great workforce for the
development of the area, and taking in account the inequity of women and the migration to
the USA is another factor to consider in this line. The number of births is 1,732, where 874
are men and 856 women. 3 These number compared with other counties are higher, just
below the municipalities of Huejutla, Pachuca de Soto and Tulancingo. On the other hand,
there is a total of 366 deaths, too many and just below Pachuca and Tulancingo. This means
there are 2 deaths for every 10 births.
Figure 1. Location of Ixmiquilpan in Hidalgo State.
Ixmiquilpan is located at 75 km north of Pachuca, 20° 29’ latitude north and 99° 13’
latitude west; its surface is 563 km2 that is 2.7% of the total surface of Hidalgo State. It is at
3 Ídem.
Institutional Investment Project 9
1,745 m above the sea level. It borders Nicolás Flores and Zimapán to the north; to the
west, El Cardonal, to the south Santiago de Anaya, Progreso and Chilcuautla, to the south
east Alfajayucan, and Tasquillo to the east. Part of the town is located inside the trans
Mexican volcanic axis, 70% are fields and in less proportion, hills, the other 30% is located
in la Sierra Madre Oriental. The main elevations are La Palma, Thito, la Muñeca, Xintza,
Guadril, Temboo, Dexitzo and Daxhie.
1.2 Projections of population growth in the area
As we said before Ixmiquilpan is the heart of the Valle del Mezquital, possessing
different social and economical features identifying itself as a peculiar place. So it is quite
important to know its tendencies in several aspects.
Figure 2. Total population of El Valle del Mezquital. Source: IDEF.
According to the graphic in figure 1, the other main counties have a growing
tendency in their population, but Ixmiquilpan presents a relative instability on the amount
of population (Lugo, 2009). It is explained through the migration of part of the population
Institutional Investment Project 10
in the productive age and their families who go to other municipalities, states or even
foreign countries. Now to fulfill with the requirement of this point we add the next table.
Table 2. Population growth tendency for 2005 - 2012. Source: CONAPO.
2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012
74,666 73,943 72,225 70,560 68,948 67,389 65,882 64,426
These are important data to consider in the analysis of the proposal.
1.3 Socio economical conditions of the area
The dry weather and the historic development centered mainly on an indigenous
population, has positioned this area as one of the poorest and low economic growth of
México. Anyway, the necessity of the inhabitants developed a rational and innovative
exploitation of their resources. This zone is the main alimentary source of the region
resulting in the existence of small groups of entrepreneurs and an educative advance of the
young population.
The socio economical history of Ixmiquilpan is long, so after revising it carefully we
decided to initiate the considerations saying… from the 1940’s to the 1960’s the town of
Ixmiquilpan improved its infrastructure considerably with the installation of the public
health clinic, expansion of the main park, a sports center, a municipal library, the
remodeling of the Hidalgo Theatre, the establishment of the Ñañhu or Otomi Cultural
Museum and installation of radio and television broadcast. Not only did this improve the
socioeconomic status of those living here, the population quintupled. In the decade of the
70s, when many urbanization projects, such as the municipal market, paved streets and
streetlights had been accomplished, another project from this time was the remodeling of
the main plaza.
Now, for updating all of these data we have. The Gross Domestic Product is
obtained from the production of milpas, stables, factories, mines and the activity of
economic service units as the government, schools, professionals, transportation means and
Institutional Investment Project 11
some others (Lugo, 2009). All of this can be summarized in the GDP per capita. This
indicator is fundamental; It is the average production of each one of the residents in a year.
Table 3. Gross Domestic Product per capita of Ixmiquilpan. Source: INEGI.
Municipio GDP per capita
Ixmiquilpan 4,477
Huejutla 3,106
Tizayuca 6,678
Pachuca 9,289
As observed, it is about to get into the state average (Hidalgo, 4690), however, the
economic extremes, Pachuca and Tizayuca, overcome amply Ixmiquilpan. The productive
population (those who are economically active, receiving a salary or not) have a singular
configuration in the distribution of the main economic activities. In table 4 we will realize a
great number of workers, 36%, is concentrated in agriculture and cattle activities; a 19% of
the population work on commerce activities, and 12% is on the construction business.
Table 4. Distribution of productive population by sector. Source: Lugo, 2009.
Sector Economic activities Population %
Primary Agriculture, cattle, fishing, hunting. 7,464 36%
Secondary Construction. 2,417 12%
Secondary Manufacturing industry. 1,880 9%
Tertiary Commerce. 3,840 19%
Tertiary Professional services. 228 1%
Tertiary Educative services. 2,077 10%
Some of the conclusions of these data are: the economic activities to consolidate are
tourism, commerce, and of course agriculture. But, there is another situation to take care of:
the migration of workers to the USA.
Institutional Investment Project 12
Because of personal necessities and the demand of skilful workers, there is a great
number of people migrating to work outside of México, 20.81% of families in Ixmiquilpan
have migrants members. Ixmiquilpan has the third place in this category in Hidalgo State,
only Pachuca and Zimapán are above this number according to CONAPO; but it has the
first place in El Valle del Mezquital. This is translated as many people in the productive age
level are outside the municipality.
1.4 Number of schools in the area
In relation with the infrastructure of the county on this educative point, there are 271
schools, 3 libraries, 42 laboratories, 68 workshops, and 724 installations including a
principal office, stores for kids, a warehouse and administrative areas.

Total 271 31,171 1,659
1.5 Average level of education
For the educative sector, the municipality counts with kinder garden, kinder garden
for indigenous, elementary school, indigenous elementary school, and training for adults,
junior high school, high school and college levels.
Institutional Investment Project 13
It is important to point out the fundamental roll 8 shelters for indigenous scholars
play; they allow access to education for kids between 4 and 18 years, since they offer meals
and home, aside of the education itself.
In the area of special education, there is a psycho pedagogic center, where kids from
second to sixth grade of the elementary school level, with learning handicaps are assisted.
The terminal efficiency in the kinder garden level and elementary school are 94.6% and
91.2% average respectively, as long as in junior high school and high school are 76.0% and
34.2% respectively. Now to complement this information we mention, the average level of
education of Hidalgo State is 7.7 years, just above elementary school and it is 8th place from
the bottom of the chart and it is below the national average (SEP, 2008).
Figure 3. Average level of education by state. Source: SEP, 2008.
1.6 Ethnic population and its demographics
The first group to get into El Valle del Mezquital was a group of otomies, the
hñahñus (Ñañús). They named the area zectccani, the place of verdolagas. They were
subjugated by the Toltecs and by the Aztecs; they were not only sort of slave but soldiers as
Institutional Investment Project 14
allies of the Aztecs, this way, they got some autonomy. This notion of autonomy would
continue into the Colonial period when communities such as Orizabita and San Juanico
called themselves republics (Innovaciones Bemetre, n/d).
After the Conquest, Pedro Rodríguez, sent by Pedro de Alvarado as a scout, arrived
to the area. The Augustinian accompanying the Spaniards founded the town of Ixmiquilpan,
with the founding of the church and monastery of San Miguel Arcangel in 1550, where a
series of paintings representing the Otomi fusion with the Toltec, Aztec and Spanish
cultural heritage.
There are too many events and situations along the Independence, the Mexican
Revolution and similar incidents, but the main point now is the relation with the ethnic
group. So we move to 1951, when a presidential decree4 named, the Patrimonio Indígena
del Valle de Mezquital promoted the economy and the education of the Otomies in the
region. One of its first projects was to build the Justo Sierra Secondary School in the town.
Prior to this school’s construction, youths had to travel to Pachuca or event Mexico City for
a secondary education.5
Recovering some of the main ideas we establish: the cultural heritage has been recuperate
for the otomies, with the variation in the ethnic group Ñañú, conformed by hñä, speak and
hñü, nose, meaning the nasal language or the ones who speak two languages. The voice
ñäñü, upon certain authors comes from Otou, mythical ancient individual (Moreno, 2006).
Along the history, the ñañús based their economy in three fundamental activities:
agriculture, cattle raising and mining; but since the Independence times this ethnic group
has created an industry around the maguey, until the decade of the 80s when going to the
USA became the main activity for men in the region.
Nowadays, the ñañús have developed a new maguey industry, processing aguamiel,
and pulque; and using ixtle to produce ayates, strings, mecapales and elements of
decoration highly appreciated even for exportation.

1.7 National and regional educational framework
On the national arena, we may revise the Development National Plan, but it more
practical to revise the Educative Sector Program. First of all, we recuperate the main
objectives that are connected with our project. They are six, but we only attend at
objectives 1, 2, 4 and 5. They are according to SEP, 2007:
Objetivo 1: Elevar la calidad de la educación para que los estudiantes
mejoren su nivel de logro educativo, cuenten con medios para tener acceso a
un mayor bienestar y contribuyan al desarrollo nacional.
Objetivo 2: Ampliar las oportunidades educativas para reducir desigualdades
entre grupos sociales, cerrar brechas e impulsar la equidad.
Objetivo 4: Ofrecer una educación integral que equilibre la formación en
valores ciudadanos, el desarrollo de competencias y la adquisición de
conocimientos, a través de actividades regulares del aula, la práctica docente
y el ambiente institucional, para fortalecer la convivencia democrática e
intercultural.
Objetivo 5: Ofrecer servicios educativos de calidad para formar personas con
alto sentido de responsabilidad social, que participen de manera productiva y
competitiva en el mercado laboral.6
For the regional educative framework we found out there is a web site of Ixmiquilpan´s
government7 containing a framework for all of the activities to do in the next three years.
We may say education seems no to be a very important factor for development,
although it is recognized as one in the regional plan of the municipal presidency.
Taking in main consideration the ñañú tradition, education goes from parents to
sons and daughters via the ñañú language. This language is in danger of extinction and
6 So these ideas will be very helpful to define the educative model and specific data for the
identity of the new institution to create. We guess it is not time to do it now. 7 http://ixmiquilpan.hidalgo.gob.mx/
Institutional Investment Project 16
deformation due to transcultural processes born mainly from migration phenomena. The
young ñañús don´t speak their native language anymore. Moreno (2006) says:
Encontramos en algunas familias la enseñanza simultánea del español y el
hñahñu a niños que están aprendiendo a hablar. Aunado a esto, grupos de
profesores bilingües realizan el esfuerzo de rescatar la lengua a través de
cursos y talleres dirigidos a personas que se interesen no sólo en hablarla
sino en escribirla, porque a decir de los maestros “es un problema que no
sepan escribirla, porque se va a perder más fácil nuestra lengua”.
Nevertheless, recently, ñañú migrants living in the USA have developed a patriotic
Mexican-Ñañú feeling, generating the organization of support groups to newcomers to
those communities, giving new impulse to the use and application of the autochthonous
language. In the elementary bilingual schools, teachers motivate kids to write stories,
puzzles or anecdotes of the ñañú community. They also organize encounters with other
schools in the same terms. The national Mexican anthem is taught and sung in ñañú at
public schools.
Don Aurelio Jerónimo Ramón asks “What do the children come to school for? To learn
Spanish without leaving the continuity of learning ñañú”. This sort of education started in
1968 by SEP official establishment (Pérez, 2001).
Institutional Investment Project 17
La palabra indígena significa originario de un lugar; en México se le da el
nombre de indígena a aquel que pertenece a una etnia. En la escuela, la
contradicción es que sus contenidos son en español y la comunidad ñañu
tiene que aprender español para acceder a está la globalidad, a esta sociedad
genérica que es nuestro país, lo que ahora y antes se ha pretendido hacer es
una cuestión folclórica, con el planteamiento de la educación bilingüe-
bicultural.8
Education is a factor for development and observance for different institutions from the
ñañú communities as the Patrimonio Indígena del Valle del Mezquital, PIVM; the Consejo
Supremo Hñahñu, CSH; as well as government organisms; political parties, unions as
Cooperativa Flor del Valle, which promotes the handcrafts of the region and some
nonprofit organizations.
The schools in the Valle del Mezquital reunite almost all of the ñañús in school age
for the elementary level, and the ingress to junior high and high schools is motivated
without ethnic discrimination. However, in the secondary level, the ñañú language is not
present in the formal education, because of the complexity of the learning elements.
Anyway there has been a meaningful advance in the educative level of the ñañú culture and
in general of the region through the creation of the Universidad Tecnológica del Valle del
Mezquital.
1.8 Legal considerations
Talking about the legal considerations for this project, we make just the initial
approach. We have to contemplate federal and local requirements.
1. The Cámara Nacional de Comercio recommends with the requirement called uso
de suelo, which takes from 22 to 60 days.
2. Then we have to initiate the organization in the Registro Federal de Contribuyentes
of the Servicio de Administración Tributaria, by getting the RFC identification.
3. In the municipality we have to declare the opening of the organization.
8 Ídem.
Institutional Investment Project 18
These are the basic or general requirements. In the Secretaría de Educación Pública of the
state we have to revise the requirements needed to open a school of the type we decide once
we have advance enough on the diagnosis. Most of these will be done at the Dirección de
Educación y Cultura de Ixmiquilpan.9
1.9 Analysis
All of the information above works as a referential framework to analyze the
situation and make a decision of the type of school to open, among so many other actions.
We have decided to analyze all that information via the theoretic principles of the
operationalization of constructs, according to Hernandez (2001) and Babbie (2000)
This tool, based on the mentioned authors helps us to get order in the project and to assure
all of the facts have been taking in account. For the next phases of the project, it will keep
being the guide for the development. It is called the analysis ODI. We are preparing the
whole project to be measured and evaluated, so that in the execution stage can be controlled
and so the original objectives are accomplished.
The dimensioning process consists in dividing the main construct in its fundamental
parts and providing the conceptual definition of each one; these are the dimensions. The
number of the dimensions depends on the complexity of the construct; 4 to 6 is a
convenient number. After that, each dimension is decomposed into items, these are the
operational definitions of the construct, and it means that it is through the items that the
actual measure is performed. The amount of item again depends on the complexity and the
number consideration is just the same, 4 to 6. By the way, the conceptual definition must be
referenced.
All of the definitions are given by the nature of the project and under the knowledge and
experience of the planning committee. The fourth dimension is almost empty in the item
zone; if one pays attention to its definition; one would realize its importance will jump on
the scene in the next parts of the project.

Average level of education.
4. Resources.
All the economic, material
and human resources for
implementing the educative
- managerial process.
The strategic plan of the municipal
presidency.
Now, to detail and discuss the nature of the items; and therefore take advantage of the OCI
analysis, we recall the methodological principles of the Secretaría de la Función Pública,
SFP which match the results adequately. We will create two lists: (1) Encouraging forces
for the project where opportunities may appear and (2) Restrictive forces for the project
which may become threatens.
Institutional Investment Project 20
1.10 Detections of possible threads and opportunities for the project
We develop this spot following the methodology created by SPF (2010), Suárez
(2008) and the material in Power Point provided by Dr. Imarú Arias, conductor of the
seminar. The identification of threads and opportunities is half of the task in constructing a
SWOT matrix analysis; so with the created framework and the results achieved via the OCI
analysis, the conformation of the matrix is consequent.
The encouraging forces for the project may be:
1. There are some specific touristic attractions making Ixmiquilpan and Tasquillo
(D2). May help in getting finance once the school is established.
2. There are intense commercial and service activities with a wide area of influence on
the region (D2). Possible exploitation of the scale economy.
3. The dynamics of the population might be a restrictive forces for the project, but we
see in table 5, 11,554 students will become through the time junior high school
students, if, a kind of that is school is to be opened (D1). We think there is no
dominant provider of the service in this level, even though there is a number one for
sure.
4. In the same line we know the average age is around the 20 years, so a high school
or a school for adult training might be possible (D1). Since there are only 9 high
schools, we deduce the barriers to entry are not so solid.
5. Since a university exists in the area already and it seems to give good results for the
community, from the levels before, students should be better prepared (D3). The
opportunity resides in creating an educative model that matches the prerequisites of
the university and make our students the best nominees for ingress.
6. From point 1.3 we recover, the economic activities to consolidate are tourism,
commerce and agriculture. These activities require basic competences given in high
school level, if, and only if they are to be performed in modern conditions (D3).
There is a chance for success for a high school facility who offers terminal careers
at this level, aside of the chance to keep to college level.
Institutional Investment Project 21
7. For the junior high school level, the existence of 31 schools for a growing
population in the next years is rather an inviting situation (D3). If decision in made
for this level, educative technology may be the key for success for our school.
8. For the case of high schools the opportunity is higher, there are only 9 of them in
the area (D3). This confirms the idea of little barriers, although some research on
competitors should be done, and that we will do later.
9. The existence of the ethnic group taken in account is a magnificent opportunity to
work for minorities, for the recovery on ancient México as deep as it could be.
Some of them will be willing to cooperate and support projects like ours, because of
personal conviction or needs to be covered, for this generation or for their children
(D1).
The restrictive forces for the project may be:
1. The Hidalgo State has a conflictive road system, transportation is not so fluid among
the inner part of municipality and inter municipality either. There is premature
obsolescence of the physical conditions of the roads and access in general (D2).
This may cause some troubles in accessing further communities to the service we
will offer.
2. The suburbs have irregular settlements, residential units of high density (D2). The
influence of these factor form the economic field ends in social problems in the
development of the scholar life.
3. The GDP per capita is not really good news for investors. That of course, depends
on the strategy to approach to the educative organization to open (D2). Great trouble
for the definition of utilities, costs and the relation between them. We knew it since
the beginning; the Valle del Mezquital is a very poor zone in all México.
4. We can deduce the average level of education for Ixmiquilpan, at least, is less than
the national average of 8.3 years. It is below, 7.7 years of education. (D3). This
splits the chance to open a junior high school for young people but also for adults.
Anyway, we can see strong forces of multidimensional forms attack the advance of
education.
Institutional Investment Project 22
5. As far as we could analyze the strategic plan of the municipal presidency, they
recognize the importance of the investment in education to get better chances of
economic, social and cultural development, but the strategies and tactics are so
vague that no support for our projects is easy to suppose (D4). Lack of actual
support for the project coming from the government agencies.
6. Some facts on this document say some of the identity of the ñañús has started to
lose. Important concern for the development of an educative project (D1). Lose of
native cultural identity.
With these results we can go to the next procedure to make a final approach to make a
decision.
1. What are the level of impact and the probability that each factor happens to be?
2. The severity of the impact is the capability in relation with the project in question. Scale:
a. 1: Minor or null impact.
b. 10: Mayor or meaningful impact.
3. Probability that the factor becomes real. Scale:
a. 1: Improbable.
b. 10: Factor will materialize for sure.
4. Multiply probability by impact upon these assumptions, 60% for impact and 40%
for probability to get the strategic factor.
5. Get the percentage on each strategic factor on the total weight.
6. Rearrange the events in descendent order.

We conclude (phase of synthesis) the next statements:
There is a fragmented industry structure in Ixmiquilpan, in some facets; there
is an emerging educative structure.
We accumulate 67% with the first 5 opportunities and 78% until the 6th. The
judgment according the 80/20 of Pareto´s chart is to avoid giving any resource to
Institutional Investment Project 24
opportunities 7, 5 and 1, at least 5 and 1. About threatens, 71% is accumulated with
the first 4 events, and then we might forget events, 5 and 3.
Soon in coming deliveries, we will have to concentrate in the strategies to
confront the opportunities and threatens identified so far.
Because of opportunities 4 and 6, we may decide to open a school in the high
school level with some of the characteristic required by the community.
According to Henderson (1989) and Eisenhardt (2002), the conditions of the
context represented for Ixmiquilpan are in constant and accelerated change. Globalization,
in a way (going to USA to work for example) and forces coming from México´s own
troubles have created a singular place in Hidalgo. We may do something for creating better
conditions for those communities in the near future.
We will continue this project. Now watch the coat of arms of Ixmiquilpan.

2.2 Your own strengths and weaknesses in this new market
Even though this process might seem to be linear, it is not. For example, these lists
were created once; points 2.6 and 2.7 were ready. Just after setting the model, and its
objectives and the human capital we may need is that the strengths and weaknesses of the
proposal arise. In this stage we only identify and describe them, since in stage 2.10 a
complete scheme will appear to close the second chapter of the project.
Institutional Investment Project 30
Project’s strengths: We understand as a strength any factor, situation or event that
helps us to accomplish our objectives and goals.
1. The vision of the planning, operation an evaluation of the project is systemic,
gathering all the implications of that meaning.
2. The creators of the model posses a deep commitment with the change for better
paradigms for México, Ixmiquilpan and the ñañus.
3. Implementation of the project will be supported on successful educative approaches.
4. Implementation of the project will be supported on successful management
approaches.
5. Personnel to be hired will fit the Mission and Vision of the school.
6. Leadership will be held on these features: systemic vision, humanistic approach to
work on staff and students, transdisciplinary conception of knowledge, planetary
perception of the environment.
7. Facilities, equipment and materials suitable for the thinking model.
8. Stakeholders belong to the educative arena, allowing the current gap between the
instructional and the administrative interests closes.
Project’s weaknesses. We understand as a weakness any factor, situation or event
that obstacles the accomplishment of the objectives and goals. In this case is very difficult
to foretell this sort of trouble since we have initiated operations, therefore they become just
possible risks in all the stages of the development of the project. This is that possible list:
1. Failure on the human capital procedures may take us to further problems.
2. Lack of understanding of the dynamics of the region.
3. Concentration of the financial resources may not be sufficient.
4. Lose of leadership form the top of middle positions.
5. Generalized poor commitment of the Mexican high school level students.
6. Appearance of faculty staff with no conviction about the historic educative Mission
given to schools.
7. Idealistic planning which results in a disconnected operation and evaluation of the
administrative and/or educative models.
Institutional Investment Project 31
2.3 Inventory of facilities needed
There is not a single scheme to perform a unique inventory of needed facilities.
Moreover, the facilities inventory system is much closed related with other systems, as we
show in the following diagram:
Figure 6. Facility’s inventory system and its relations.
So, the following is a draft to be included in the inventory of facilities needed:
1. Classrooms: General purpose classrooms, lecture halls, recitation rooms, seminar
rooms, and other spaces used primarily for scheduled non laboratory instruction. In order to
design our school, we need at least 6 classrooms (one for each level).
2. Laboratory Facilities: Rooms or spaces characterized by special purpose
equipment or a specific configuration that ties instructional or research activities to a
particular discipline or a closely related group of disciplines. In order to design our school,
we need at least 3 laboratories: one for languages (English and French), one for sciences
(physics, chemistry, biology), and one for computing (and this last one must not be
confused with the computer room).
3. Office Facilities: Offices and conference rooms specifically assigned to each of
the various academic, administrative, and service functions. We need at least one academic,
one administrative and one service rooms and a faculty room.
Institutional Investment Project 32
4. Study Facilities: Study rooms, stacks, open-stack reading rooms, and library
processing spaces. We need at least one library of 120 square meters, with 10 individual
mini-rooms to private study and coaching by professors.
5. Special Use Facilities: Military training rooms, athletic and physical education
spaces, media production rooms, clinics, demonstration areas, field buildings, animal
quarters, greenhouses, and other room categories that are sufficiently specialized in their
primary activity or function to merit a unique room code. In the opening of the school, we
need a sports training room of 140 square meters, with the basic sport equipment.
6. General Use Facilities: Assembly rooms, exhibition space, food facilities,
lounges, merchandising facilities, recreational facilities, meeting rooms, child and adult
care rooms, and other facilities that are characterized by a broader availability to faculty,
students, staff, or the public than are special use areas. We need at least one assembly room
with a surface of 40 square meters, to meet with parents.
7. Support Facilities: Computing facilities, shops, central storage areas, vehicle
storage areas, and central service space that provide centralized support for the activities of
a campus.
8. Health Care Facilities: Facilities used to provide patient care (human and
animal).
9. Unclassified Facilities: Inactive or unfinished areas, or areas in the process of
conversion. Not considered.
10. Circulation Area: Nonassignable spaces required for physical access to floors or
subdivisions of space within the building, whether directly bounded by partitions or not. To
be designed in the layout of the school.
11. Building Service Area: Nonassignable spaces used to support its cleaning and
public hygiene functions. To be designed in the layout of the school.
12. Mechanical Area: Nonassignable spaces of a building designed to house
mechanical equipment and utility services, and shaft areas. To be designed in the layout of
the school.

2.4.1 Inventory of language laboratory.
3 DVD’s, 3 TV’s, 3 tape recorders, 3 English and 3 French complete courses and
Internet Access to download specific material to learn English and French.
2.4.2 Inventory for science laboratory.
Beakers: They are used for routine mixing & heating where a larger opening is
more convenient than a narrow mouth & the greater accuracy of a graduated cylinder is not
required. Although it can be used for measuring, a chemistry beaker is only about 10%
accurate & should not be used for precision measurement.
Graduated cylinders: are useful for measuring out liquids or for calibrating beakers
and erlenmeyer flasks. They are useful for doing displacement/density measurements as
well as basic volume measuring.
Erlenmeyer flasks: They can be used for general measuring or even juice containers.
An erlenmeyer flask can be sealed with parafilm or rubber or cork stoppers. They are of
similar accuracy to science lab beakers but less than graduated cylinders.
Watchglasses - Beaker Covers: Watch glasses have all kinds of uses. They that can
be used as beaker lids, to hold small invertebrates for viewing under a microscope or to
dissolve crystals & powders.
Boiling (Florence) Flasks: The boiling flasks shown in the picture have round
bottoms and need a 4 fingered support clamp and bosshead. The flat bottom versions are
identical except that the bottom is flat and can stand upright without support.
Support Stands, Rings and Clamps: These are metal labwares that help support the
various glass equipment.
Dissecting Instrument Kit: This basic dissecting kit is intended for elementary and
middle school use for studying fish, worms, insects and invertebrates.
Forceps: The two fine tipped splinter forceps are shown to the left and the medium
point forceps are shown to the right. Thumb dressing forceps are similar to the medium
points but are slightly larger. Tissue forceps (not shown) have teeth on them for an extra
firm hold; they are sometimes known as mouse or rat-tooth forceps.

2.6 Definition of academic model, and justification
We must add this is the primary draft of the model; a lot is to be done yet.
2.6.1 Justification of the model.
According to UNESCO, education for all, means that the ñañu region of our
country should have access to a global education, but after all, this education needs to
originate ordinary Mexican people to create a paradigm to translate de ñañu cultural life
style into a national identity. The way to achieve it, is through formal education.
The high school level for the Valle del Mezquital has to offer education under the
precepts of the Secretaría de Educación Pública; include plans and programs (syllabus), to
contribute in the formation of the students in a civic conscience and a citizenship
sensibility, both of the inspired on values as the human rights, a democratic society, gender
equity, and no discrimination practices (SEP, 2007).
These ideas justify the balance between all the aspects of knowledge. The academic
model considers the four pillars of education: learning to know, learning to do, learning to
live together, and learning to be (Delors, 1996).
Figure 7. Dispositional forms and Delors report. Source: Suárez, 2009.
Institutional Investment Project 37
The education life is based on these pillars: Learn to know, combining a broad and
general culture with the ability to depend on knowledge in a small number of subjects. That
also means, the students can take advantage of the possibilities of education through life
and develop different competences for personal and society success. Students need to learn
how to do the framework of the various social experiences or work that the community
offers. The ulterior objective is to do stronger the social context, through the learning to
live together, in order to develop understanding of globalization and the perception of
forms of interdependence.
The students of the high school level at the Valle del Mezquital can develop
common projects and have the skills for dealing and negotiation with mutual understanding
in a peace environment. As a formal educative system, the priority is the acquisition of
knowledge, and the values that must live in a society, including some aspects of no
discrimination, observing the respect for the ñañu language, but also to increase the
Spanish practice and considering English lessons as well.12
2.6.2 Basic definitions of the model.
The academic model is based on Constructivism, where the role of the student is
active in the teaching – learning process. The education according to this model has to
impulse the cognitivism of the student, promoting his/her autonomy intellectual and moral
(Hernández, 1998). As Piaget used to say “the main objective of the education is to create
men, capable to do innovative things, not only to repeat what the generations before have
done, but creative, inventive and discovering men; the second objective of the education is
to form minds that can criticize and verify and do not accept everything that is offered to
him/her” (Piaget & Heller, 1968). The teacher is a promoter of the development and the
autonomy of the students; the professor teaches based in a meaningful learning, and is
considered as a facilitator of learning (Hernández, 1998).
This academic model will also have some characteristics of the social and cultural
paradigm by Vigotsky, who treats the development processes as part of the educative

change in traditions at the Valle del Mezquital.

platform, interrelating the students birth, their school life, their life as parents, as
transmitters of culture. In the social and cultural paradigm, the students get conscious about
the environment and the community, to have a preparation to serve the society; so, the
education is interactive, trying to reproduce the knowledge in the classroom with the
purpose to reflect it outside, in the real world.
The proposal of the model is to form reflexive students, with competences in
different areas of knowledge, according to the necessities of the region and its future in the
context of México.
The objectives of the model are:
Cause a fundamental cultural transformation in the scholars, considering
science, humanities and technical aspects, as a point of departure to construct
new personal and professional paradigms.
Lead the students to apprehend knowledge (theoretical principles); acquire
methodologies, methods and techniques (methodological principles) to grant
access to a higher level of studies; through a constructivist and socio-cultural
approach (epistemic principles).
Develop competences (knowledge, skills, behaviors or attitudes, and values) in
the students for facing their future as members of a changing world, a changing
country and a changing community seeking the welfare of all of them.
Establish a platform for multilingual competence: Ñañu, Spanish and English.
Inform/form students with a technical career to work in different productive
activities in the region, in order to be useful to the community and themselves in
lesser time (Lateral educative egress).
The temporal modality of our high school proposal is semester oriented, to be studied in 6
periods. The number of the students in the classroom is 25 top, since mycroteaching is a
teaching – learning techniques of the model. The schedule is morning and afternoon.
About the syllabus we recover the basic idea showed above… this proposal has to
follow the precepts of the Secretaría de Educación Pública; official plans and programs,
until certain extension. They are in Appendix 1. For optional issues and other subject
matters and the epistemic approach, we will follow our already explained precepts.

the project. The external analysis was performed in chapter I and the internal in II, even it
was just a couple of lists, now we will add a more detailed analysis. The complete table is

The same ideas showed in the previous chapter are applied here, but, we will add
something new to this draft: the strategic polygon. But before let us see the external part,
already know in the project. We will sacrifice some space for a better visualization of the
tables. This is calculated with the difference between the positive factors minus the
negative factors, we mean, strengths minus weaknesses and opportunities minus threatens.
The results will be.

Now we will graph the four averages obtained from each facto in each one of the
four axis of an XY diagram, always keeping in mind, positive factors are opposite to
negative, and one axis is for the external analysis and the other to the internal. The result
appears in the next diagram.
Institutional Investment Project 46
Figure 9. Strategic polygon and Strategic quadrant.
According to the note of the seminar conducted by Dr. Arias, it is time to set up
priorities, the synthesis of the analysis phase. This is it:
1. The polygon shows balance among the factors. Situation that is not good or
convenient at all. The differences between the couples are scarcely perceptible.
2. The values among the strengths are not radical, the top is 14% and the minimal is
11%, just 3 point of difference. So we must consider the potential of almost all of
the forces.
3. Most of them are natural, since the initiators are committed to a quality education,
but they are not perennial as strengths 2, 3 and 4.
4. The main one is radical and unique “Stakeholders belong to the educative arena,
allowing the current gap between the instructional and the administrative interests
narrows”.
5. So the differences between the internal forces make us be in an unsteady
environment. The majority of the weaknesses is just temporal. They should be
reevaluated in time. Most of them are proper of Mexican organizations, which is
rather sad.

6. About the external analysis there is little to say since we already synthesized it
before in the previous chapter.
7. We add, the differences are marked and graphed in a XY scheme, obtaining a
strategic point in the first quadrant, it is 0.3, 0.1, meaning we are in hypothetical
strategic paradise (Suárez, 2008).
8. Dr. Arias asked which are the hypothesis underlying the SWOT analysis; well, here
they are. The question, the hypothesis answers is… Depending on the external
analysis of the situation and the resource-based view (RBV), what is the strategic
approach to make? Depending on the results, there are four ways or hypothesis to
answer the question. But first, we may change the factor´s order, which is very
important. FODA in Spanish gives us the next diagram.

9. Then the resulting combination is:
a. Strategies SO: strategies looking the exploitation of strengths of the organization
to take advantage of the opportunities.
b. Strategies WO: strategies to reduce the weaknesses of the organization to
improve the advantage of the opportunities.
c. Strategies ST: strategies using the strengths of the organization to reduce the
impact of threatens.
d. Strategies WT: strategies looking the reduction of threatens.
10. For this project we are in sector 1, strategies SO, but the differential is so little that
we will rather not take it in account. On the other hand, we have studied different
approaches to choose better strategy proposals from this seminar.
Institutional Investment Project 48
III Strategy formulation
3.1 Design of the main and generic strategy
We establish two objectives and correlate them with the priorities obtained from the
diagnosis and specific details of that process. We may mention first of all, we start these
procedures thinking over strategies looking the exploitation of strengths of our future
organization to take advantage of the opportunities.
Another major consideration is that weaknesses and threatens by themselves are not
propellers of the objectives; they are rather risks to be taken in account for the evaluation of
the model and the accomplishment of the objectives, anyhow some will appear on the table.
Table 10. Relation between objectives and their justification on the analysis-synthesis.

As you can realize, this team decided to follow, both initial strategies, given by the
specialized literature: cost leadership and product differentiation. We also establish the
confluence of economic value under the quest of social value; due to the fact this is an
educative organization created by people interested, first in education, then in revenues;
thus we are certain through the achievement of the educative Mission the rest will come by
itself.

The interventions play the roll of a tactic or operational plans. It that stage is where strategy
implementation takes place. We handle a taxonomy where tactics are carried out through
projects and program; the main difference between them is given in the time dimension.
Projects begin and end during the run of the strategic approach, programs last for the whole
planning and operation cycle and even they may survive to the period. We also detail, these
indicator belong to the classification of strategic indicators, since they measure and
evaluate the relation among strategic objectives, strategies and interventions.

3.4 Implementation of the academic model.
3.4.1 Program: Contents/skills development
About contents we will tie the school curriculum to the regulations of the Secretaría
de Educación Pública. The subject matters already appear in appendix II.
Now we define the exit profile of the student, recovering some consideration made
above (point 2.6.2).
Cause a fundamental cultural transformation in the scholars, considering
science, humanities and technical aspects, as a point of departure to construct
new personal and professional paradigms.
Lead the students to apprehend knowledge (theoretical principles); acquire
methodologies, methods and techniques (methodological principles) to grant
access to a higher level of studies; through a constructivist and socio-cultural
approach (epistemic principles).
Develop competences (knowledge, skills, behaviors or attitudes) in the students
for facing their future as members of a changing world, a changing country and
a changing community seeking the welfare of all of them.
Establish a platform for multilingual competence: Ñañu, Spanish and English.
Inform/form students with a technical career to work in different productive
activities in the region, in order to be useful to the community and themselves in
lesser time (Lateral educative egress).
The competences to form are tied to the OECD, UNESCO and similar institutions´
considerations. They are generic and functional for the high school level.

The term competence has two meanings; one from Greek agon, agonist, meaning
confrontation, competition, locating the concept in the Olympics issues. The second comes
from Latin, competere, that in the XVI century meant belonging to you, to your
responsibility. The Tuning project establishes competences as a dynamic combination of
qualities, capacities and attitudes.
Figure 10. Competences scheme. Source:

a. Candidate/Student profile. Any student who has got the junior high school
certificate has the chance to enter this school. This seems to be an easy procedure, and it is
so, because the population requires it, according to the conclusions of the diagnosis.
b. Activities and projects. The cross-sectional activities to keep developing the
competences beyond the scholastic subject matters are divided into sports, artistic and
social service activities.
c. Knowledge/development/creation. These skills, students must develop by
themselves in order to integrate and generate knowledge, will be offered by specific
seminars and a specific set of activities included in different subjects. This is also a cross-
sectional axis.
Institutional Investment Project 57
3.4.3 Faculty.
Due to the fact that most of the teachers working for the Ñañú educative community
come from outside, cities like Pachuca for example; we have to make a promotion for
insiders and outsiders as well. First of all we need to hire young graduate professors from
Pachuca and close neighborhoods; and mature professors with less compromises that
average people who may be willing to move to Ixmiquilpan.
In any case, we must remember our constructivist point of view which establishes
the following characteristics as the minimum ones, every teacher should posses as Frida
Díaz Barriga (1998) says, “the function of a teacher is not reduced just to the transmission
of information or to the facilitation of learning, instead, the teacher becomes a mediator of
the encounter on the students with knowledge. In this process the teacher orients the
constructivist mental activity of his students via didactical help adjusted to their
competence”.
Table 17. Teaching – learning process centered on learning.

Design learning activities.

Auto evaluation.
Therefore the roll of the teacher varies as tutor, expositor, guide, facilitator and
mediator. The docent performs actions as:
1. Motivate learning, employing problems and situation of real life as didactical
material.
2. Use communicative instructions that are correct, clear and concise.
3. Facilitate learning; do not give all of the information the student needs, but the
orientation where he/she may find it.
4. Evaluate learning in collaborative way.
Institutional Investment Project 58
3.5 Possible strategic allies
Due to the very peculiar characteristics of the Nañús and considering, there is a real
necessity to bring up this new school, we consider that via the President of the three
involved municipalities, we may conform strategic alliances, at least at the very beginning
to some other private schools.
However, for reasons as competitiveness among schools, the principal strategies
could be defined in a framework with public schools, which don’t represent direct
competition with the new school.22
Moreover, a very important alliance would be given with a mixed bureau of the
society of parents and the economic sector; represented by the artisans, farmers and others,
in order to:
1. Pre-define the real necessities of high-school graduates in order to be helpful for
their communities;
2. Have a very close compromise between the scholastic and economic activities,
in such a way the this bureau forms an interface between the two segments
3. Supervise, in a way, the quality and academic activities of school in order to
assure that the very initial compromises defined through the Vision and the
Mission of the school, are carried away effectively.
A third strategic alliance would be with the government of the municipalities. That is, with
the compromise of the presidency of the municipalities; and due to our experience, it is
extremely important the local government gets involved, so that they can aid and help (in
order to have an advantage in time and money) in several important issues like:
construction permissions, legal permits, security and similar concerns; but most of all, the
action to find and donate a terrain for the school.
22 At least in the initial stages, later, in the opposite, the huge demand of education in public
schools could decline.
Institutional Investment Project 59
A national private organization called COPARMEX, Confederación Patronal de la
República Mexicana, could be vital as a strategic partner. As a matter of fact, COPARMEX
seeks the support of their associated firms, following the goal of having a better place to
teach, learn and have the active participation of young people, workers, households,
educative institutions, government and the society in general.
Indeed, they have articulated a strategic plan in order to have: (1) an open and
competitive economy; (2) and efficient bank system to promote development and
competitive credit; (3)) a capitalized, modern, fair and competitive agricultural sector; (4) a
government without own firms and without a rector, but a promoter of the economy; (5) an
education with quality, promoting intrinsic values, (6) a maximum deregulation of the
economic activity; (7)) inflation competitive rates with COPARMEX’s main commercial
partners; (8) a promoting union system for the firm’s productivity; (9) competitive firms in
a global context; (10) growing and diversified exportations as well as a fair commercial
balance; (11) a painful electoral competence in a participative democracy; (12) to have a
fair and competitive social and economical infrastructure; (13) to have a solid formal
economy which struggles with the dark economy; (14) to have a fair public security with a
competent and honest police; (15) to have independence in the political powers; (16) to
have a healthy environment, clean firms, and an effective laws in ecologic issues; (17) to
have a stable monetary policy as well an independent central bank; (18) to have a simple,
stable and competitive fiscal system; (19) to have competence between optional systems of
social security; (20) to have a consisting and generalized purchasing power and (21) a plain
development of a solid entrepreneurial culture.
For the international context, we have to mention the following organizations, which could
be very important strategic allies to the project:
The so-called Inter-American Development Bank is a United Nations Institution
which could be a very important ally. As a matter of fact, the IDB was established in 1959
to support the process of economic and social development in Latin America and the
Caribbean, and it is the main source of multilateral financing in the region. The IDB Group
provides solutions to development challenges by partnering with governments, companies
and civil society organizations, thus reaching its clients ranging from central governments
Institutional Investment Project 60
to city authorities and businesses. The IDB lends money and provides grants. With a triple-
A rating, the Bank borrows in international markets at competitive rates. Hence, it can
structure loans at competitive conditions for its clients, in its 26 borrowing member
countries. In addition, it also offers research, advice and technical assistance to support key
areas like education, poverty reduction and agriculture. The Bank is also active on cross-
border issues like trade, infrastructure and energy. To ensure the Bank’s accountability,
transparency and effectiveness in its activities, the IDB has the Office of Evaluation and
Oversiht (OVE), the Office of Institutional Integrity (OII), and the Independent
Consultation and Investigation Mechanism in place to ensure sufficient oversight for its
projects.
Another important international entity, which eventually could form an important strategic
ally, is the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which uses
its wealth of information on a broad range of topics to help governments foster prosperity
and fight poverty through economic growth and financial stability.
Figure 11. OECD´s general working procedure.
Institutional Investment Project 61
OECD helps ensure the environmental implications of economic and social development
are taken into account. OECD's work is based on continued monitoring of events in
member countries as well as outside the OECD area, and includes regular projections of
short and medium-term economic developments. The OECD Secretariat collects and
analyses data, then, a committee discusses policy regarding this information; the Council
makes decisions, and then, governments implement recommendations. See the diagram
above.
Another international organization is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization, UNESCO. It has a special budget to help and promote education in
developing countries (like Mexico) and also for the particularly poorest regions of such
countries (like the three municipalities of Hidalgo, case of study of this paper).
As a matter of fact, the Programme and Budget of the Organization are approved
every two years by the General Conference. Besides, UNESCO’s Programme and Budget
for 2010-2011 translates the policy directions and focus provided by the Medium-Term
Strategy for 2008-2013 into concrete thematic and policy-style approaches for the five
Programme Sectors of UNESCO (Education, Natural Sciences, Social and Human
Sciences, Culture, Communication and Information).
A final international organization is the World Economic Forum, WEF, which is an
independent, international organization incorporated as a Swiss not-for-profit foundation.
They are striving towards a world-class corporate governance system where values
are as important as basic rules. Their motto is entrepreneurship in the global public
interest. They believe economic progress without social development is not sustainable,
while social development without economic progress is not feasible. Their vision for the
World Economic Forum is threefold. It aims to be the foremost organization which builds
and energizes leading global communities; the creative force shaping global, regional and
industry strategies; the catalyst of choice for its communities when undertaking global
initiatives to improve the state of the world. The WEF stands by recognizing and
responding to two new developments: (1) the world’s key challenges cannot be met by
governments, business or civil society alone; (2) in a world characterized by complexity,
Institutional Investment Project 62
fragility and ever greater synchronicity, strategic insights cannot be passively acquired.
They are best developed through continuous interaction with peers and with the
most knowledgeable people in the field. To carry out its mission, the World Economic
Forum has developed an integrated value chain by involving world leaders in communities,
inspiring them with strategic insights and enabling them through initiatives.
Finally, different kinds of educational, social, anthropological, researchers and so forth also
could be strategic partners, in order to get some sort of resources; for example CONACYT,
SEP, etc. That is, very prestigious researchers from different national and international
organizations could be valuable help to get a quite diversity of resources; like state-of-the-
art information to implement the most efficient scholastic practices, contacts with several
key educational authorities, etc. Another example might be, researches from UNAM,
UVM, COLMEX, etc., have a very close relationship with novel sources of information,
with educational and governmental authorities, etc.
3.6 Draft of marketing plan
3.6.1 Purpose.
The purposes, this project pursues, are already defined but with the MKT approach
there is some other specificity:
Serve the community through the formation of students in the high school level,
especially the Ñañu community.
Get a prestigious position in the market of El Valle del Mezquital.
Enrollment of 150 students for the 02/10 period of operations.
3.6.2 Target.
As a civil association, the school is focused to assist the educative necessities of the
community whose AMAI denomination as a target is: “E” level.23
23 López, H. (2009).
Institutional Investment Project 63
In order to make some references for the share in the educative market in the state of
Hidalgo, the Valle del Mezquital we have:
It is a small part in map of this region of the Mexican Republic and only represents
the 6% of citizens.
The number of citizens in Hidalgo is 2,345,514.
The number of citizens in Ixmiquilpan is 73,903.
The number of citizens in Actopan is 45,518.
The number of citizens in Tasquillo is 15,429.
The total of citizens in Valle del Mezquital is 134,850.
The students from Valle del Mezquital who have characteristics to attend to High
School are 48,277 (INEGI, 2006).
From all the population in Hidalgo, 27 of 1,000 people migrate to USA.
13% citizens are analphabets.
School Level is 7.4 (first grade of Junior School).
Indigenous language speakers, age 5 year plus: 15%, 2 of them do not speak
Spanish.
From each 100 people, older than 15, 12 have not obtained any level of school.
15 have not finished the elementary school.
18 have finished elementary level.
4 have not finished junior school.
24 have finished junior school.
6 have not finished high school.
11 finished high school.
These comments mean, the potential of including a High School that can attend the “E”
level necessities of the community of Valle del Mezquital, becomes a possibility of
development for the region.
Institutional Investment Project 64
3.6.3 Competitor analysis.
This analysis has already been made, but the MKT approach may give new
information and conclusions, too. Let recall the direct competitors; 1. Centro de Educación
Media Superior a Distancia Gundho (decentralized), 2. CECYT Ixmiquilpan
(decentralized), 3. Dr. José Ma. Luís Mora (SEP-AC supported), 4. Centro de Bachillerato
Tecnológico Agropecuario No. 67 (federal), 5. Bachillerato del Estado de Hidalgo, Plantel
Julián Villagrán (decentralized), 6. Centro de Educación Media Superior a Distancia
Orizabita (decentralized), 7. Bachillerato del Estado de Hidalgo Plantel El Mirador
(decentralized) and the indirect competitors: 1. Escuela Preparatoria del Valle (prívate), 2.
Guadalupe Victoria (private), 3. Lic. Jesús Angeles Contreras (private). See anexe
Directory of High Schools in Hidalgo.
Figure 12. Web based adverstiment of a competitor.
For all of them and through the virtual and actual research we obtain data to
construct the next table, already shown in table 8, so this is just a shortcut for that
conclusion.
Institutional Investment Project 65
3.6.4 Business strengths.
Educative Model based in competences.
Micro-teaching as teaching strategy.
Each group is going to be integrated by 25 students.
Be a trilingual Institution.
Include a Teacher’s Training Program.
Educate according to the natural resources environment.
Establish relations among the Institution and regional companies where the students
can practice.
3.6.5 Business weaknesses.
The recruitment of teachers.
The area localization.
Concentration of the financial resources may not be sufficient.
The educative level of the new students.
3.6.6 Marketing Strategies: product, pricing, distribution, promotion.
The positioning in the market is: Institution with a commitment with the
community. The marketing niche is composed by graduates of Junior School in the whole
region. The High School of Valle del Mezquital is a place where the students can receive
the high level education, according to the precepts established in the philosophy. Also, the
Institution offers benefits to the Ñañu community and Valle del Mezquital neighbors.
a. Product: The educative services based in the trilingual high school level,
developing competences in the students, who can offer a profile accord to the necessities of
the Region to the economic sector. The attributes of product are: benefits on keeping the
traditions of the Region, language, culture, regional-national-transcultural festivities;
education based in competences; a teaching staff trained in pedagogical aspects based in
competences; the certain to realize practices in companies of the Region.
Institutional Investment Project 66
b. Pricing: As an Institution sponsored by SEP and being a civil association, there’s
no price to ask for, but, every student has to sign a commitment to create or participate in
different projects to generate financial, technological or material resources for the
Institution. Anyway, it is necessary to calculate the cost of the education of each student
from enrollment to graduation.
c. Distribution. This item is not strictly necessary to known like that. It is the
reference of the location of the High School of Valle del Mezquital and the infrastructure to
give the educative services to the students and the community.
d. Promotion: The strategies in this part of mix marketing are:
Public Relations, as a link among the High School and all the sectors of the Region
as: government, enterprises, opinion leaders, religious institution, competence,
supplier schools (junior schools), Ñañu community, mass media, non government
organisms, UNESCO, etc.
Publicity, as strategy of no payment advertising, based in a communication
program.
Direct Promotion in the school through guided visits.
Advertising, mass media planning, mainly based in different sponsors.
Branding in every forum of the Region and the State of Hidalgo.
In all the strategies, tactics are going to be developed, considering these premises: What
will we do? When will we do it? Where will we do it? How will we do it? How much will
it cost? Who is going to be responsible for? Some tactics to follow are next:
Look for some sponsors: PEMEX, through the new Refinery in Tula, is going to be
the most important source of work in the State and as a support to the community
development can offer significant donatives and be a sponsor in the communication and
advertising program, even as a supplier of technology and equipment.
Cruz Azul, in Tula is a cement work company. One of the biggest companies in the
State of Hidalgo. It has social responsibility and represents the precepts and the philosophy
of love, passion, loyalty and social peace.
Institutional Investment Project 67
Ciudad Sahagun companies. This is an important industrial region of the State,
because over there, the wagons of the subway are constructed mainly; thus, this city
represents an important area to get some sponsors.
Media Planning. The branding is going to be based in a social marketing, in one
direction to traditional mass media: radio, cinema, television, printed press as newspapers
and magazines; in second term in exterior advertisement such as billboards, maps, banners,
taxi tops, buses’ advertisement; in third place, printed advertisement as: yearbooks, posters,
brochures; mailing, trade fairs, exposures, promotion articles; and, at last in latest
technologies advertisement: Internet, own website, Youtube, Google.
Also, the Student Services Coordination has to impulse the use of TIC’s, for
example: Facebook, Twitter, blogs, Wikis, Youtube, and different kind of social nets.
Another tactic based in the last term can be the buzzing, as an ulterior and avant-
garde of doing marketing and branding.
3.6.7 Budget
Cost of the resources: material, technology and payroll, as part of the product and
cost of the strategy of promotion.

3.6.8 Evaluation
These will be the right indicators to evaluate the evolution of the MKT plan:
1. Visitors (potential students) vs. Enrollment (new students).
2. Drop-out rate (template).
3. Monitoring the mass media planning.
4. Interrelation between the advertisements and the enrollment.
3.6.9 Conclusions.
This project tries to understand the community through the optimizing of the media
to penetrate the market on purpose to assist the target. The marketing strategy is based in
branding, not only to have access to the target, but to create demand for the institution. This
tactic means engage and interaction among the institution and different sectors of the
society. The position in the market and the share are going to measure results, based in the
enrollment. This marketing plan resumes one objective: create marketing strategy and best
educative practice.

IV Forecasting
The original order of the protocol was financial, human resources and enrollment
forecasting proposal; we decided to change the order, since the financial forecast needs to
know data from the enrollment and the human resources forecasts.
4.1 Final forecast for human resources
These are the professional profiles of the administrative staff. The complete
functions are in Appendix IV in Spanish, for practical and actual reasons.

We observe some differences with the structure presented in figure 8, since the first
year will work with partial development of it. The main activities and purpose of the
Research and Culture Direction will be performed by other directives meanwhile.
Something similar happens of the administrative area. By the second year, as we will
appoint later, the structure will be fully functional; and even with a strong increase in
salaries.
We also add some activities that will be achieved by an outsourcing approach:
cleaning assistance, 2 people; and security, 2 people. For the second year the structure will
work completely.
For the Faculty staff, we establish three stages initial for the 1st semester,
intermediate for the 2nd and a full scope for the next years, in the next table. Salaries and
consequently budget consider these conditions.

4.2 Final enrollment forecast and projections
This point demonstrates a moderate four-year enrollment projection for the
assignment. The moderate projection is based on the current level of development of the
region and other factors we explain in figure 13 and the coming paragraphs, and therefore is
considered the most-likely possibility.

For preparing the forecast, we also consider the population dynamics, then the
number of students in the high school and junior. high school levels; which are: High
School, 4,317 and Jr. High School, 5,992.
Other dimensions to consider aside of population and studying factors are,
migration of Ixmiquilpan’s residents to USA and birth rates of the population. All of these
factors determine which projection is most appropriate for the school project. The
following tables outlines some of these factors:

Institutional Investment Project 73
From all the existing techniques, we chose the cohort survival technique. This
technique analyses the student’s populations during their life through the educative system.
A cohort group is followed until disappearing. This is the study of the flow of students.24
The main aspect of this function is the calculus of a drop out index to appreciate which the
tendency of the cohorts is or will be through the years.
The formula to use is: P(t) = cP(x) where: c is the average proportion calculated via:
c = ΣPz/Pz-1 / tmax; P(x) is the initial population and P(t) the projection.
Let us start with the difficult part, the calculus of “c”. The next table shows the
progression, we estimate for the resulting population according to a drop out rate based on
the mentioned factors, population dynamics, USA migration and birth rate. 1s data are the
goals established for the planning team for four years, 150, 300, 400, 400. 2s data result
from the division of the previous data and the dropout rate given below, i.e. 120 = 150/0.80
or 342.9 = 342/0.95 and so on. For 3s data, the procedure is identical.
Then “c” is an average 0.875, 0.945 and 0.9575 are so, it becomes the desirable
dropout rate for future projections. Then in the projection section we reenter the
established goals with the expected rates, these are the results where P(t) is the product of
“c” by P(x), the given goal.

Now the forecast for these tendencies is shown in the next table. The first year we
will only assist 150 students; the second, 431; the third, 786; and the 4th year of the
projection totals, 948 which is a bit more than 10% of the concerning population. In oru
indicator we did not consider the 4th years as a goal, even though, it is necessary for the
forecasting, there is a decrease on the expected population due to the fact discussed at the
beginning of this point. Now we have an accurate idea of what we are facing in this project.

4.3 Final financial forecasts
We have to make specific and important considerations to operate this business
unit.
1. The initial expenditure on investment of the project is $ 6,837,038 (see the
inventory and cost of total facilities section).
2. We will strive to get funds and facilities from the different appointed sources, public
and private organizations. We estimate that at least 80% of total cost could be
funded by such corporations. This fundamental fact is taken from the statistics given
by SEP and entrepreneurial-governmental information.25 This implies that the
$1’367,407 must be budgeted by private funds (partners).
3. This financial forecast is based on the other two reports made in chapter.
25 See for example, the Internet link of the government of Aguascalientes in the so-called
Programa de Emprendedores: http://www.aguascalientes.gob.mx/economia
/programaapoyo/PROGRAMAS%20EMPRENDEDURISMO.pdf”).
Institutional Investment Project 75
4. Income is formed by the number of students multiplied by the monthly tuition. The
tuition is $3000. Money that students won´t pay, since full or partial scholarships
will be the natural way of working of the school. This fee will have yearly
increments according to Banxico’s rate of inflation growing, about 5% a year.
5. Expenses are calculated on the same base of inflation rate.
6. The number of teachers depends on the factor of 25 students per classroom. The
expense is calculated on the base of an hour/week/month salary. It starts at $120,
which is highly competitive for the region.

7. The number of students depends on the enrollment forecast; so far it is on figure 15.
8. The administrative employees will work on a deficit base at the beginning, but in
the second year, the staff will be complete. Their salaries will also be recalculated
and increased to be competitive highly in the region.
9. Taxes are calculated on the base of a nonprofit organization, but our government is
so special on this line that adjustments will be done according to the situation.
10. We present the forecasts for four years of operation.
So, in conclusion, we can observe that approximately in sixteen to twenty four
months we can return the initial investment. Most of the project resides on the strategic
alliances and public funds, which also depend on the negotiation competences of the
partners.
4.4 Academic program plans, program matrix and general syllabi.
This issue closes the project dimensioning, and we must add the program matrix is
already exposed on Appendix I as the curricular map.
On the other hand, the academic programs are already developed by the Secretaria
de Educación Pública, and in general terms we must follow those lines. These programs are
very large and seem to be done with the constructivist focus and conducted by competences
´ acquisition. They consist of the next elements:
1. General data as: code, semester, period, knowledge area, credits and formation
component.
2. Fundamentals: general but deep lines for developing the subject matter.
3. Generic competences: establishes contents, competences: knowledge, skills,
attitudes and values and evidence of acquisition.
4. Considerations for lesson planning.
5. Considerations for evaluation strategies design.
All of the plans are located at
