Resumen:
The purpose of this paper is to show the importance of business
education in Disaster Risk Management (DRM). This paper aims to evaluate
the awareness level of the Master in Business Administration's (MBA)
students regarding the importance disaster risk management (DRM) plays.
This paper develops a literature review concerning the concept of
disasters, Disaster Risk Management, Disaster Risk Reduction, and the
role of MBA programs. Furthermore, a survey at Universidad EAFIT
(Medellin, Colombia) was designed and implemented as primary source
information with the purpose of showing the DRM awareness level of MBA's
students. Finally, a case study connecting DRM with entrepreneurship
formation is described. This paper identified a limited formal education
in DRM Latin American MBA programs, and specifically at Universidad
EAFIT. Additionally, a lack of awareness in MBA's students about the
importance of DRM was identified. In this sense, the paper proposes a
DRM education model that uses a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
and entrepreneurial formation in business education. This study aims to
show the importance of the inclusion of disaster risk reduction and
management knowledge as part of the courses in: Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR), Sustainability, and Entrepreneurship content in
Masters in Business Administration (MBA) programs.
