Administrators work in teams that have several knowledge characteristics, in carrying out their daily work, which consists of using the different administrative techniques they know; The business administration is responsible for organizing the various processes of the different departments in an organization, so the fundamental character of the administrator is to be a multidisciplinary professional who guides the company in order to a sense of healthy competitiveness and performance.

How to explain the importance of Business Administration?

It was really difficult to find a specific article that talked about the importance of business administration and even more to bring it to the reality of a country like Colombia, but some readings allow us to make some conjecture and be able to focus on the social environment that a country with craving for progress as ours is.

If we look at what the blog Negociosyemprendimiento.org refers to, where it ensures that the work of an administrator “constitutes one of the fundamental pillars for the success of any company or organization”, we can understand that if good administrators are cultivated in Colombia, we can build the success for all the environments that the population needs, because the National University of Colombia, based in Bogotá, says that “it imparts effectiveness to human efforts, and in general it is essential for any social organization”

If this is so, we can surely say that by forming new and better business administrators we can draw models of professionals capable of taking the best of people and companies and making them the greatest and most effective individuals and the greatest and solvent companies, because the administrator can be the visionary that is needed for a country like Colombia to emerge and achieve a country potentially rich in economy and especially in human quality.

We can conclude that as naturally sociable beings, tending to form societies to obtain resources and assets, and currently students of business administration, our mission is to make the best of ourselves to build the country that we dream and deserve so much.
