Gestión del conocimiento, competitividad, universidades

Resumen

Esta investigación analiza a estas dos dimensiones cognitivas a través de un análisis factorial confirmatorio con la finalidad de establecer si su relación con la variable competitividad resulta adecuada para la generación de elementos competitivos reales. Dichas variables han sido revisadas a partir de la literatura de frontera disponible y recolectadas a priori en instituciones de educación superior mexicanas. Los elementos cognitivos son precursores de la competitividad, no obstante, para entenderlo se requiere analizar al activo cognitivo desde una perspectiva dimensional, en las cuáles se establece el criterio del conocimiento formal e informal, más científicamente hablando, del conocimiento explícito y tácito.
