Consider two countries, Shirtland and Chipland, both of which are capable of producing shirts and computer chips. Shirtland can produce the following combinations of shirts and chips.
All shirts and no chips: 108 shirts per day.
All chips and no shirts: 36 chips per day.
Chipland can produce the following combination of shirts and chips.
All shirts and no chips: 120 shirts per day.
All chips and no shirts: 120 chips per day.
In each country, there is a fixed trade-off of shirts and chips.
a) Draw the two production possibilities curves (these are straight lines), with shirts on the vertical axis and chips on the horizontal axis.
b) Which country has absolute advantage in the production of shirts? Which one has absolute advantage in the production of chips?
c) Suppose that each country is initially self-sufficient and each country divides its resources equally between the two goods. How much does each country produce and consume?
d) Which nation has comparative advantage in shirts? Which one has comparative advantage in chips?
e) Suppose each country decides to specialize in the production of only one good, which good should they produce? Suppose they decide to exchange 2 shirts per chip, and Chipland trade 40 chips, how much of each product does each country now consume? Are there any benefits from specialization and trade? Explain.
f) Suppose instead of exchanging 2 shirts per chip, Chipland instead wants 4 shirts for every chip traded. What effect will this have on trade?

Las preguntas básicas de la planeación permiten mejorar el gerenciamiento de un proceso a desarrollar.
Propondremos como ejemplo la planificación de producción de videos informativos para los clientes de una institución médica sobre la utilización de las herramientas digitales disponibles.
Explanation:
1) ¿Por qué? Esta pregunta incita al gerente a considerar las acciones necesarias de acuerdo con la meta a corto plazo. En nuestro ejemplo, el por qué es la necesidad de minimizar la cantidad de consultas telefónicas sobre las herramientas digitales, para permitir que los trabajadores administrativos puedan abocarse a tareas más importantes.
2) ¿Qué? ESta pregunta reifere a definir qué acciones son necesarias y la secuencia de esas actividades para el logoro de los objetivos propuestos. En este caso: la producción de 4 videos institucionales explicativos de no más de 2 minutos de duración cada uno, accesibles desde la web de la empresa.
3) ¿Dónde? Refiere al lugar físico necesario para poner el plan en práctica. En nuestro ejemplo, al ser la producción audiovisual un ejercicio que se realiza de manera digital, sólo será necesario contratar remotamente un editor de video, y garantizar una oficina con acceso a internet para que quien esté a cargo del proyecto le provea la información y elementos necesarios.
4) ¿Cuándo? Refiere al momento propicio para que el plan se realice. En nuestro ejemplo, la creciente demanda de servicios requiere que este plan se realice lo antes posible. Dado que existe la disponibilidad de personal interno capacitado para coordinar el proyecto y la amplia gama de empresas que brindan servicios audiovisuales en el corto plazo, la aplicación sería inmediata y de 3 semanas de duración como máximo.
5) ¿Quién? Refiere a definir las personas idoneas para las actividades requeridas. En nuestro ejemplo, un coordinador proveniente del personal interno y un editor de video contratado externamente.
6) ¿Cómo? Requiere definir la forma en que se llevará a cabo. En nuestro caso, el gerente puede solicitar que se le informe semanalmente del proceso, mientras que el coordinador deberá ocuparse de la contratación y coordinación del proceso de edicción, así como de los informes requeridos al respecto. Del editor de video, se deberá estipular un contrato donde queden claros los terminos, el cronograma y las expectativas respecto del resultado final.
