honours graduate in business management
Explanation:
organizacion empresarial = business management

tecnico superior = honours graduate

University degrees are either "ordinary" or "honours". Since the source text states "superior", i would make the distinction of translating this as "honours"

Since the text is describing a person, you must state "honours graduate"

I think that is more a literal translation than the real thing. It probably does not have a correspondent in English, that is why the previous quoted web site puts the translation in between parenthesis. See this next site for a definition of the term:

This site gives the equivalent degree:
\"The degree given is Técnico Superior Universitario (equivalent to \"level 5\" of UNESCO\'sclassification),...\"

Degree in business organization


Explanation:
Since university degreee equivalencies are so difficult to establish, the best way is "Degreee in" (except on a Transcript, where the official degreee title should be adhered to as much as possible).

Advanced Technical Degree


Explanation:
This term has been discussed before.

I use the following translation:

Técnico Superior: (US) Advanced Technical Degree; (Europe) Higher Technician.

+ the following translator’s note:

Translator’s Note: In Venezuela, “Técnico Superior” is the degree awarded by “Institutos Universitarios” (Colleges) after a six-semester course of study.

I don’t have the references at hand right now.

Good luck!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Yvonne Becker: Disculpa el disagree después de tanto tiempo, pero la respuesta puede conducir a errores en consultas futuras. Un técnico superior no tiene nada que ver con un estudiante graduado con honores. Sencillamente, es alguien graduado de una carrera corta

disagree  Mariela Diaz-Butler: Un técnico superior universitario es equivalente a un associate's degree, o carrera de 2 años.
