Publicación Acceso abierto Casos Empresariales Colombianos(2011) Rave Gómez, Elkin Darío; Franco Restrepo, Juan Gonzalo; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000871770 - Elkin Rave; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=oa9SCcsAAAAJ&hl=es - Elkin RaveFor the CEIPA University Institution it is a reason for the greatest satisfaction present to the academic and business community of the country this book "Casos Colombian business. Managerial decisions in moments of crisis”, written by professors Juan Gonzalo Franco Restrepo and Elkin Darío Rave Gómez, linked to CEIPA for several years. This book, the result of the investigative effort of both professors, is a contribution in two important areas. First, the case study methodology It is increasingly used as a learning tool in educational programs. administration, as it allows to recreate situations, real most of the Sometimes, they confront the student with the need to analyze and build proposals for decisions that are later submitted to discussion and debate. It's a way of generate “training” spaces and put certain skills into practice developed in the training processes. Of course, we cannot ignore that this methodology is also subject to some criticism derived, for example, from the impossibility of including all variables that influence the context in which the proposed cases occur. But even so, it is still a method valid for achieving particular learning objectives. Secondly, studies such as the present allow us to advance in the purpose to know more deeply the Colombian business reality, even if it is very specific way or referred to very particular aspects or situations. cases such as Cultivos Sayonara, the Ramo Organization, PANACA and the Cooperative Coogranada, allow the reader and the student to know more about these companies and of the way they arose or responded to certain situations they faced. There is also in this a symbolic element of recognition and respect for what us, for our companies and for our management models. to managers of these companies that collaborated so much with this investigation go our most sincere thanks. Finally, it is worth noting that this book, a product of the efforts of our professors, is a sign of CEIPA's commitment to actively link from the academy with regional and national development, to strengthen the processes investigative and to be increasingly pertinent by truly contributing to making reality the purpose of being recognized as "The University of the Company".Publicación Acceso abierto Planificación de Demanda, en Empresas con Estilo de Venta por Catálogo(2011-08-12) Boada, Antonio; Mayorca, Rómulo; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000065829; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=Zv0EdDoAAAAJ&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8882-7680Mediante este trabajo, fueron documentados y orga-nizados los procedimientos utilizados en inteligencia de negocio, en la sección de planificación estraté-gica en empresas con estilo de venta por catálogo. Estas son compañías que presentan diversas parti-cularidades y diferencias con respecto a las compa-ñías tradicionales de venta retail, las cuales colocan sus productos según dependencia con una cadena de minoristas o terceros. Las empresas con estilo de venta directa fundamentan sus estrategias de mercadeo en cada catálogo, en el cual presentan un escenario nuevo de ventas de productos, ofertas y focos de campaña. Los productos se ofrecen a los consumidores mediante el trabajo de vendedores independientes que obtienen un porcentaje de co-misión según las ventas efectuadas. La planificación de las ventas en este tipo de compañías se inicia desde el área de mercadeo, e impactan directamen-te el área de la cadena de suministros, en función de tener la disponibilidad de los conceptos mientras sea la duración del catálogo vigente. Estos escena-rios generan inconvenientes importantes de logísti-ca, cada vez que se presentan unas ventas superio-res a las estimadas o también llamadas Sobre Venta (término usado por las empresas para referirse al exceso de demanda de un bien o un servicio sobre la capacidad de poder ser producido por la empre-sa) o, por el contrario, unas ventas inferiores a las estimadas, llamadas también Bajo Venta (término usado por las empresas para referirse a la baja de demanda de un bien o un servicio sobre la oferta de los mismos por la empresa); entre estos incon-venientes está la generación de excesos y/o falta de inventario, así como también hacer estimaciones no adecuadas con relación a los ingresos espera-dos. Ambos escenarios indeseables de sobre venta o baja venta impactan directamente el sistema de ventas, y se trasladan al consumidor final a través de las vendedoras o consultoras independientes, y generan problemas de imagen y marca. Palabras clave: estimación, predicción, empresas con estilo de venta directa, empresas de venta por catálogos.Publicación Acceso abierto La Fábula del Pez que Cruzó el Cielo(2012) Granada Granada, RodrigoLately, it was beating its tail with greater force, which allowed it to continue 'flying' long distances. One day I was flying close He heard a boat, in the company of other flying fish, say: - "There go the sea swallows." Right there he thought about the inconvenience of always having to return to the water and the fantastic idea that swallows remain in the sky. They were the thoughts of a flying fish that was happy going in and out of the sea. Its streamlined torpedo-shaped body allowed it to achieve enough speed to get out. of the water and gracefully display its large pectoral fins, true wings that transported it through the air at a distance of up to 400 meters, revealing its body covered with grayish and bluish scales, with showy silver flanks, which they shone in the sun. After those thoughts, he returned willing to perfect his 'flight'. He reviewed his technique step by step and deduced that if He managed to go from his speed of 70 to 150 kilometers per hour Under water, it would manage to soar and achieve an "autonomous flight of 600 meters", something unusual in its congeners. His long days of learning allowed him to perfect his technique so much that he exceeded his goal and advanced 800 meters, a true record!... He thought to himself. Stubborn as he was, he learned to fly in the open sky so as not to having to return to the sea and its dangers. One day like others and happy to fly like no other, he took a leap with agility but with such bad luck, that it ended up in the mouth of a great wandering albatross, which was passing by at that moment.Publicación Acceso abierto Lideramos la Educación Virtual en Colombia Lecciones Aprendidas(2012) Mazo Cuervo, Diego Mauricio; http://scienti.colciencias.gov.co:8081/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000523097 - Diego Mauricio Mazo Cuervo; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=IhFIG40AAAAJ&hl=es - Diego Mauricio Mazo CuervoThe Business Knowledge Management Unit of CEIPA, upon fulfilling the Institution the first 10 years of work in virtual education, has considered that a good celebration of this decade, is to collect some of papers presented at national and international events by the Vice President General, Magíster Diego Mauricio Mazo Cuervo, because in They contain a large part of the developments and transformations since when the idea of creating a post-secondary education institution with the academic character of university higher education was conceived. During these 10 years, CEIPA has executed two strategic plans: “CEIPA XXI Century Project” and “Institutional Prospective 2006 - 2010”. These two The plans have as common axes: the virtual university, knowledge management, and the conception of the company university. At the end of 2008, CEIPA went from being a local, small and traditional higher education institution, to being a different and specialized one, with a global framework for action. This transformation would not have been possible without the clear decision of its management team led by the Rector and Founder Antonio Mazo Mejía, who saw in virtual education an opportunity to recreate the university and never let himself be defeated by . The chapters of this book present a panoramic view of the history of CEIPA and an account of all the factors related to virtuality, which have influenced its successful transformation, until it became what it is today. what it is today: the leading institution in virtual education in Colombia. The engine of the University of the Company was developed in the beginning when, also pioneers, CEIPA offered programs that responded to the needs of important Antioquian companies, even facing rejections from part of important professional societies, who saw in this novelty a certain danger for its own exercise, added to the demands of the educational authorities that, finally, instead of causing us to abandon our ideas and experiences, led us to success that today we can proudly highlight, where in addition to the regular students in the three modalities, we can count on an important contingent of students from companies and that has taken us beyond the borders with some of the programs. The challenge then is continuous and daily. It is clear to note that the management of the knowledge is a construction of every day and not a concept unless the circumstances were adverse static demic. During the years in the life of CEIPA, knowledge management has always been reflected on as a pillar of the success of our teaching methodology. Hence, Knowledge Management has been based on learning from the organization, as its main input, seeking to be seen as a process of continuous improvement. This learning between people, when talking about Management, is not only information, because the complete cycle of communication takes place: sender, message and perceiver, ensuring learning at the end of the process, in a real and practice. Everything is due to the experience that has been systematized and organized, managing to understand the cycle of learning. Therefore learning, we say today, is not only information, it is dialogue, reflection and action to then return to what has been done in an evaluation. In the context of practice, knowledge management is to understand what we learn to make it action. If we go a little further in learning, sharing and discerning what is learn, we will surely achieve .that it becomes a source of knowledge; that is the ideal; with them the university is enriched because they generate a collection of fundamental knowledge, with which you can face the future of knowledge management both face-to-face and virtuallyPublicación Acceso abierto Generación de Conocimiento en los Grupos Élite de Investigación en Administración en Colombia(2014) Calderón Hernández, GregorioMaking the elite management research groups the very object of this research was an interest that arose from the logic of the series of investigations sponsored by the Colombian Association of Faculties of Administration (Ascolfa), dating from 2005 to date, and that have been developed by networks of researchers from the faculties of Administration at the Colombian. Among these investigations are: The epistemological foundation of the administrative discipline from the perspective of the social sciences (Lozada, Durango, Arrubla, Ramírez, Jiménez, Posada, Toro, 2009) and Research in administration in Colombia (Calderón, Arrubla, Castaño, Gutiérrez, Posada, Ruiz, Vivares, 2010). The first research mentioned dealt with the epistemological, praxeological and ontological foundations of the administrative discipline, and the second worked a description of the conditions for the generation of knowledge, of the profile of researchers, institutionalization and scientific production in administration at the national. In the latter, it was found that in the measurement of groups carried out by Colciencias in the 2008, in the faculties of administration only three groups were in Category A1, and eleven in category A, for a total of 14 elite groups of 184 groups classified in administration for the date. From this it was possible to conclude, among other things, that the investigation is still at a incipient but has advanced significantly in the last decade, and that there are few groups that have a high development reflected in productivity and visibility in Colombia (Calderón et al., 2010). It was then from this investigative dynamic and of inquiry on the generation of knowledge in administration that was of special interest know how the elite groups worked of research, what characterized this functioning and what factors made them successful. By Therefore, the central objective of this research was to understand the dynamics of the generation of knowledge, success factors, as well as academic, organizational and cultural characteristics of the elite management research groups in Colombia, which were classified in the measurement of research groups carried out by Colciencias in 2010 (which for this measurement already had become nine A1 groups and 14 more in Category A). The book consists of eight chapters. In the first, the methodology of research used, as well as the context in which the investigation was carried out. In the following three chapters develops the theoretical framework, to which deals with the generation of knowledge as a construct and an approximation is made theory to the social groups that allowed us to approach the theory of research groups; a reflection on the discipline is also presented administrative in the context of the National System of Science, Technology and Innovation (SNCTI). The research results begin to be addressed from chapter five, in which the internal dynamics of the elite groups are exposed, the emergence and development of these, their organization internal, the definition of the lines of investigation and the issue of research resources. follows him the sixth chapter, in which he reflects on the rigor and relevance of the generation of knowledge in these groups, a matter of importance current if we consider the responsibility of these groups in the generation, transfer and use of knowledge of epistemological construction, with sense social and economic development, circumscribed, by Of course, to the object of study of the administration. In the seventh chapter, the success factors identified by the group directors consulted are widely described. The book concludes with presentation of results in the eighth chapter, in which also describes the challenges and limitations that these research groups must face. The content ends with conclusions.Publicación Acceso abierto Casos Empresariales en Agronegocios Perú - Colombia(2016) Arias Vargas, Francisco JavierOne of the purposes of casuistry is "to educate for life, for to know, to be and to do” in order to promote the integration of knowledge from different areas so that those who are trained under this methodology generate management skills and abilities, based on real contexts that require high doses of creativity and technical knowledge to make better decisions than promote solutions to business problems. Case studies have generated a revolution in the way top managers of companies are trained in the most renowned business schools in the international arena, since they are taken as examples of large companies and multinationals that are sometimes far from Latin American economic reality, where there is a high incidence of SMEs. Although the region's business schools are advancing in the construction of academic material to reduce this gap and generate systematized knowledge of the business reality in different economic sectors, it could be mentioned that these still are scarce and not very accessible, since most institutions charge for their developments, which limits the possibility for stakeholders have access to free and quality knowledge that can be implemented in undergraduate and postgraduate training, in business schools in Latin America. When analyzing the academic productions of our continent, it is was able to evidence the scarce development of the business casuistry of agribusiness. For this reason, research professors from universities in Peru and Colombia have been interested in this problem in which the productive realities of both countries are particularly relevant where rurality and the development of their companies are key to the economic and social improvement of its inhabitants. From there comes the urgency to train managers who know the needs and realities local, so that, through a better academic preparation, generate a critical mass of trained human capital that encourages transformations of the environment with a view to ensuring that the companies of the agriculture are competitive in a globalized context. This motivated the development of the research project entitled "Knowledge management in agribusiness at the binational level PeruColombia: Construction of cases for business companies in Latin America”, research that involved the following universities: • Lasallian University Corporation • Toribio Rodríguez National University of Mendoza of Amazonas • Ceipa University Foundation • National university of Trujillo • Autonomous University Foundation of the Americas • University of Medellin • University of La Salle Arequipa The result is a business casebook with purpose training that relates real situations of SMEs representative of the agribusiness sector in both countries. The book is distributed following form: Chapter 1 provides the reader with the basic concepts and procedure methodological analysis of the cases presented in the following chapters. The Chapter 2 exposes the case of the Antioquian company of Pigs and its Porcicarnes® brand, which faced various difficulties from its beginnings, but, thanks to the right decisions of its founder, It is currently consolidated in the Colombian market. The chapter 3 exposes the reality of the asparagus producing sector in Trujillo region in Peru, a product that shows an interesting potential in international markets. Chapter 4 sets out the case. of the 3 Cordilleras Brewery, where the historical evolution of this company and poses its challenges for the future. Chapter 5 shows the case of Lácteos Betania S.A., which faces the challenges of a family organization seeking to position itself and grow in the Colombian market. Chapter 6 considers the case of the company Proalcuy®, one of the main producers of guinea pigs in the region of the Peruvian Amazon and in which scenarios typical of production and marketing in the northern area of this country. Chapter 7 develops the case of the association of producers Hass avocado in Colombia, and shows the path traveled by this company based on solidarity economy for the production of a fruit tree that seeks to gain share in national markets and international. Finally, chapter 8 exposes the impact of microfinance in the development of the agricultural sector of the pampas de majes in the Pedregal region, Arequipa. The authors of this work are recognized academics of agribusiness in Peru and Colombia, which have motivated the creation of the International Knowledge Management Research Network Business (RED GCE), which has grown remarkably and Currently, it is present in public and private universities in Colombia, Peru, Chile, Mexico and Brazil. We hope that this edition will be of public interest and will become a reference guide for academics and practitioners in the field international.Publicación Acceso abierto Despertar los saberes: guía de competencias para maestros(2016) Marulanda Carmona, Jorge AlbeiroThis book is the result of a research process fundamentally qualitative, supported by the conception of participatory action research [PAR]–. The project was born before the need to build a proposal to analyze the curricular situation of the municipality of Sabaneta, Antioquia, which would allow the design and implementation of strategies for the improvement of the quality of the educational service, bringing it closer to a model of competency-based training that would respond to recent innovations in pedagogy and didactics in general and to the guidelines of the Ministry of National Education in particular. The project was carried out for four years and due to the challenges raised from the beginning, was characterized as an exercise in collective construction of knowledge, in which they interacted national experts, researchers from the CEIPA Orygen group, and all teachers and directors of educational institutions municipal officials. To guarantee participation and academic construction, Various work tables were held with all the teachers and directors of the eight official educational institutions of the municipality, in each meeting there were also conferences and workshops with experts; which constitutes a methodological success, since it facilitated the development of specific products in the curricular scope of the institutions, in addition to other achievements perhaps intangible but no less important, such as the generation of spaces for dialogue, agreement and exchange among the participants, which gives rise to criticism and debate, thus strengthening the academic culture of the educational community local. In accordance with the IAP methodology, they were actively involved the actors of the process, teachers, directors, students and families, who built a study plan for all the areas, the institutional student assessment system, an instrument for classroom planning by periods and a model for the formulation of mandatory projects. These products were socialized and published on a web platform managed by each educational institution.1 As part of implementation strategies, the "Creativity at School" contest is held annually, which seeks to generate and socialize teaching strategies aimed at developing skills in students and teachers.Publicación Acceso abierto Integración económica y cooperación internacional: entre el multilateralismo, el regionalismo y la supranacionalidad(2017) Cardona Montoya, Giovanny; Cardona Montoya, Giovanny; http://scienti.colciencias.gov.co:8081/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001142941 - Giovanny Cardona Montoya; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=m0BCyBEAAAAJ&hl=es - Giovanny Cardona Montoya; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8882-7680 - Giovanny Cardona MontoyaThe greatest transformation that the architecture of international relations underwent after the Second World War was, possibly, the emergence and consolidation of a system of integration and cooperation international. Bretton Woods (1944) and the San Francisco Charter (1945) gave rise to a chain of principles and strategies of coexistence that sought to replace international confrontation for an environment of cooperation and solidarity. Behind these two agreements came a list of more specific ones: GATT, UNCTAD, ILO, OPEC, and some regional: European Union, SELA, ASEAN, Amazon Pact, etc., which came to strengthen the architecture of international cooperation and integration. The development of this global, multilateral and regional system has brought with it the maturation of legal and economic structures necessary to the new reality. The emergence of this new architecture can be understood as a dimension of the development of sovereignties, while the new organisms are only legitimate from the acceptance of the nations that make them up. At the same time, sovereign states are forced to live with non-sovereign entities that inherit functions, once a monopoly of the former. Additionally, the evolution of humanity, scientific-technological developments, demographic growth, the environmental crisis and efforts of each country to achieve higher levels of growth and economic development have brought as a consequence qualitative changes in the architecture of the integration and international cooperation. Seen from a perspective dialectic, the theme reflects the coexistence between the multilateral and the regional and between the supranational and the intergovernmental. This reality has generated need to understand the processes of international cooperation and economic integration (multilateral and regional) from a complex perspective. Derived from the above, the analyzes require a broad perspective in which recognizes the potential of supranational actors (or groups with some level of supranationality) as semi-autonomous actors of international relations. Now, point out that these are semi-autonomous implies, at the same time, recognizing that sovereign actors (nation-states) They are also characterized by not having full autonomy. This statement It rests on two key premises: States are interdependent. • States delegate functions to supranational or interstate entities. Similarly, economic coexistence is part of a complex system that combines the multilateral with the regional. Said coexistence, evidenced in the presence of the GATT1 -WTO and regional trade agreements (ACR), is also recognized for its marked dialectical force. While the World Trade Organization (WTO) recognizes the different treaties as exceptions (article XXIV and clause enabling the General Agreement), these - not coincidentally - assume an antagonistic position to the principle of trade without discrimination of the multilateral system. On the other hand, regionalism, understood as a process of homogenization and unification of countries, at least in the economic dimension, materializes through a deepening of the agreements in which goes from the commercial to the financial and monetary, and then by the coordination of sectoral and macroeconomic policies. However, when regional integration apparently expands through interregional FTAs, evidence that the deepening of the same slows down. In this 21st century there are more RTAs than in the last century, however, there is less integration. It is In other words, the new agreements (FTAs, fundamentally) are less deep and they are all intergovernmental in nature, that is, without a supranational. This book makes an analytical review of the processes of cooperation and international integration. At first, a presentation of the evolution of interdependence as the engine that gives meaning to international cooperation processes. After arguing the genesis of the international cooperation, our studio goes on to explain its architecture, recognizing a typology that combines the multilateral with the regional and the general with the specific. In this way, and making use of the dialectical method, the existence of the system and its parts is analyzed. After clarifying the existence of the international cooperation system, we intend to sustain a hypothesis about the need to understand its actors beyond the intergovernmental dimension. Recognize the existence of regional blocs as subjects of international cooperation is an embryonic proposal which is up for discussion by readers. In a second part of the book, we delve into the issues of economic integration, for which it is necessary to know and explain the system multilateral, both from a historical and theoretical perspective, in such a way understand the logic that guides its operation and its relationships with regional actors: regional trade agreements (RTAs). In this last part of the book there is recourse both to the theory of as well as to the paradigms of the economy that allow to explain the sense of the multilateral (orthodox theory of well-being) and of the regional from the perspective of general equilibrium, partial equilibrium and structuralism.Publicación Acceso abierto La Generación de Conocimiento en Estrategia Organizacional en Colombia(2017) Calderón Hernández, GregorioBuilding on the pioneering work of Chandler (1962), Ansoff (1965) and Andrews (1971), the strategy organization has become a field of study central administration that permeates all branches discipline, such as finance, marketing, human management, operations management, among others. The transversal nature of the strategy has promoted a growing interest in researchers to understand its nature, even from other disciplines such as psychology, sociology, economics, and political science; which has generated a plurality of perspectives and schools of strategic thought that have made it in an eclectic field, fed by theoretical approaches very diverse (Mintzberg, Ahlstrand and Lampel, 2007). This diversity has generated that research on organizational strategy, as a discipline, has evolved in the last 50 years towards multiple directions, even sometimes contradictory, as a pendulum in permanent movement that invites the researcher or employer not to lose sight of the complex and paradoxical character of this concept (Wars, Madhok and Montoro, 2013), conceived, on occasions, as a process that depends on the internal resources of the company and other times as a specific process by the environment; a micro action, born in the mind of the strategist or a macro action, which follows of the collective behavior of the organization, a purposeful development arising from rational analysis or an emergent process arising from learning. Being This is a phenomenon that should be studied descriptive with all the scientific rigor or a pragmatic phenomenon that It should be approached in a prescriptive way so as not to lose its relevance. Both for the theoretical and conceptual development and for the practice of management, strategic thinking focused on the organizational has been playing a determining role in what is conceived as discipline. In this context, the investigation, origin, of the present study was carried out. book, which seeks to give continuity to four previous studies, sponsored by Ascolfa chapter Antioquia, and in co-investigation with several Institutions of Colombian Higher Education (Zapata et al., 2006; Lozada et al., 2009; Calderon et al., 2010; Calderón et al., 2014). From the results of the latest projects on management research in Colombia (Calderón et al., 2010) and the generation of knowledge in elite groups administration research in Colombia (Calderón et al., 2014), it was established a new line of research referring to the need to know the state of knowledge generation in Organizational Strategy in Colombia. Characterize the academic production, which on this subject have conducted research groups in the country over the years; and identify approaches, trends, contributions and research gaps. Many of the management concepts have emerged from theoretical and conceptual foundations of other disciplines and, although the strategy is originally developed in the military field, the theme of Organizational Strategy is one of the distinctive elements of the management as a discipline and influences how they approach those who use it: managers, directors, presidents, etc., to the concepts and techniques that compose it. In other words, success or failure of the use made by managers of the strategy and everything that it implies in the organization, is linked to how the developments conceptual and theoretical become useful and functional tools for the management of organizations; management that takes place in an environment increasingly competitive, complex, turbulent and full of uncertainty, where each organization requires a north, a roadmap that Allow you not to lose your way. It is at this point, where you could call crucial and important, that an adequate approach to knowledge in Organizational Strategy would strengthen the work of the administrator Given the importance that the issue of strategy has for the field discipline of the administration, being a concept of the discipline, and one of the indicators of evolution of the administrative theory, it is justified the construction of the state of the art of strategy research in Colombia; becoming a theoretical contribution that can be used both by management research groups, as well as teachers, Colombian students and entrepreneurs, for the generation, transfer and use of knowledge in the field of administrative knowledge. On the other hand, Faculties and Schools of Administration will have information on actuality that can be incorporated into the academic content of the country business administration programs. This research was developed under a qualitative descriptive approach, which allowed addressing the proposed topic from a holistic perspective; Additionally, quantitative order information was used as support. from the different research databases recognized in the country, especially the Colciencias Scienti platform. This mixed perspective proved valuable in gaining a detailed understanding of the concepts, works and results of other investigations that have addressed the study of the Organizational Strategy, from different disciplines, approaches and knowledge fields.Publicación Acceso abierto Las startups en Bogotá: un estudio crítico sobre los imaginarios de la creatividad y el emprendimiento en la hipermodernidad(2018) Santisteban, SebastiánThis book is the result of research carried out over six years in the doctorate in Social Studies at the Externado University of Colombia under the supervision of professors Thierry Lulle, Armando Silva and Fabiola Pardo. The text begins with the introduction to the "hypermodern" era and the problems it poses as social and cultural context in which startups arise, and their corresponding demands for creativity and entrepreneurship. Subsequently, he develops each point in depth at a crossroads between the theoretical positions -from a perspective of the imaginaries and Lacanian psychoanalysis - and the material compiled in field research. The main elements that are developed are: 1) contemporary subjectivity, 2) the entrepreneur imagined, 3) the imagined startup and 4) the imagined creativity. To the At the end, a chapter of conclusions and own reflections is presented. Due to the terminology of the topics discussed here, the Most words originating in the English language are adopted directly in the text without translation into Spanish, this to the extent that the translation often does not cover the full meaning of the original term and, furthermore, to global use of this terminology in English in the different media academic and specialized regardless of their languages originally. This work meant an exploration that started without having had a clearly defined object of study (in 2011 the startups in Bogotá were something still widely unknown), for which it was necessary to start from the definition of the objects, the construction of the categories of analysis and the constant articulation between established theories and the material collected in the work field. To this extent, it was necessary to walk and retrace several ways to explain the contribution of the research. The title changes, redefinition of categories, restructuring of the document, inclusion and exclusion of different authors, they were recurrent and a symptom of that hesitation typical of academic research and of the dialectical reflection that arises from it. It presented below is its most elaborated version so far, and yet such an investigation must be always recognize as a work in progress. We hope that This has been worth it so far.Publicación Acceso abierto Gerencia de Compensación Laboral 3.0 y Operación de Nómina(2018) Soto Jáuregui, Cristian; http://scienti.colciencias.gov.co:8081/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001600559 - Luis Cristian Soto JáureguiThe social and economic reality with which we live requires people and organizations prepared to participate effectively in globalized markets, markets to which every day we access more easily. Who manage people In organizations, we have a great responsibility that It consists of making human beings develop the commitment (Engagement) sufficient to do that with their work the individual and collective goals of the teams are met of work, creating a high strategic value for all groups of interest (Stakeholders). With all the advantages that come with a high flow of information around the world, we find that the true value of organizations is now built by the people and their ability to create new solutions for problems of the whole of humanity and of the environments in which that develops It is in this way that we see the impact that it has for an organization to be able to motivate its collaborators, so that their personal, family, social, academic and professional goals are complemented corporate, developing clear strategies and actions that, looking for a mutual benefit, manage to make the most of the talent that people have. The material you are holding in your hands has been designed with two purposes: the first is to serve as a reference tool to make the different decisions related with the management of relations with the organization's workers. The second is to provide accompaniment that generates first-class learning through a journey that is in accordance with the real life cycle of the employment relationship with a worker, from the moment of the request, through recruitment, selection, hiring, induction, learning, development, and retention, up to and including retirement and the outplacement process of each person.Publicación Acceso abierto Cambio organizacional y cambio institucional(2018-12) Perdomo Charry, Geovanny; González, Carlos Hernán; Murillo Vargas, Guillermo; http://scienti.colciencias.gov.co:8081/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000849944 - Geovanny Perdomo Charry; https://scholar.google.es/citations?hl=es&user=KqENyewAAAAJ - Geovanny Perdomo Charry; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4228-1085 - Geovanny Perdomo CharryIn the analysis of organizations different approaches have begun to take on a lot of relevance. The incursion into a globalized world with an unstable economy and market policies have shaped a new organizational dynamics. This dynamic of transformation has generated that within the organizational management begin to evaluate the different changes that organizations make depending on the impact of their internal and external environments. Different previous empirical studies have shown that the institutions —which are the ones that determine the rules of the game and the of society— present institutional changes in legal terms, political, social and economic, which permeate the changes organization of any organization. So the organizations in order to respond to these institutional changes are seen in the need to modify its structure, its administration, its relation of power and modernize the regulations that involve them. In countries like Colombia and Spain there have been different dynamics sectors that have contributed to organizations carrying out different institutional and organizational changes. On the one hand, the Colombian financial sector has presented a dynamic of changes especially since 1990; From then on, the dynamics of the sector were characterized by crisis, recovery from the crisis, expansion and oversizing. On the other hand, the dynamics of the incubators in Colombia and Spain have had processes of change and transformation marked by the interests politicians of each territorial entity to become innovative cities and future based on knowledge and innovation via the creation of technology-based and value-added companies. The above reasons are the main argument of this book of research in which four organizations are analyzed, following a similar methodology that is presented in chapter I. In chapter II the research results of Grupo Bancolombia are presented which includes —in addition to its description— the main changes institutions of the banking sector, the general perception of the main given organizational changes in the financial group, the perception of the role of management ideologies in the sector, the perception of organizational transformations and the responses of the apparatuses administrative. The third chapter presents the results of the analysis of Grupo Aval which, as in the previous chapter, includes a description and the different perceptions and responses of the administrative apparatus in order to identify the transformations given in each of the entities belonging to the group. the fourth chapter of the book exposes the results of the CREAME analysis of Colombia through the application of a model that allows identifying factors internal and external, as well as policies and programs, including the analysis of the institutional and organizational changes of the incubator. Finally, in the V chapter, the results of the organization Barcelona Activa, under the same scheme of the chapter previous and with the application of the same model to identify the changes institutional and organizational.Publicación Acceso abierto Calidad de vida laboral y trabajo digno o decente : nuevos paradigmas en las organizaciones(2019-03-28) Montoya Agudelo, César AlveiroWhen I received the invitation to preface the book Quality of work life and worthy or decent work: new paradigms in organizations, I Its title caught our attention because various themes emerge from it that are very relevant today and that are precisely addressed throughout its twelve chapters. Thus, the repercussion that child labor has on academic training of boys and girls, in addition to all aspects negatives that it entails. It is also analyzed whether it is possible to speak categorically of the concept of decent work, while discussing its characteristics and limitations. An additional topic focuses on the possibilities that people with disabilities have to integrate into a job whose conditions are the most favourable. Subsequently, it is examined whether outsourcing provides the conditions necessary to affirm that the people who work under this scheme have with a worthy or decent job. It is also pointed out the importance of global value chains, as a new paradigm in obtaining a better quality of work life. Another aspect addressed is that related to the social and solidarity economy, thought both from the Mexican perspective and Colombia, as an alternative for workers to find a job worthy and decent. Finally, we reflect on whether it is the obligation of employers offer quality conditions at work so that human resources can develop their work in optimal conditions. All these issues can be summarized as follows: on the one hand, the quality of working life, a term that contemplates not only the fulfillment of the current labor regulations, but a serious and effective concern for values that involve the physical and emotional well-being of the worker; on the other, the work worthy or decent, a concept promoted from international bodies such as the International Labor Organization (ILO) and that has deserved its inclusion in the regulatory framework, at least in the Mexican case. Both concepts are as pointed out throughout this work, new paradigms in organizations that must be taught and promoted in the integral formation of human beings people who trust us as teachers. Of course, the responsibility to reflect and promote these issues does not it is only with the students, but it reverses an undisputed social transcendence. This significance has led the United Nations Organization (UN) to include in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) the work decent growth and economic growth, which, together with the other objectives, intends that the economy of a given region be stimulated through the increased levels of productivity and technological innovation. To do this, it They must promote actions that allow, on the one hand, to stimulate the entrepreneurial spirit and, on the other, to create new jobs, provided that this eradicates serious problems such as forced labour, slavery and human trafficking. If these goals are achieved, by 2030 it would be possible for all men and women have a decent and dignified job, as well as full and productive; this In this way, equity, solidarity, sustainability, participation, inclusion and commitment to their society will be promoted. The work of coordination of the work, in charge of doctor César Alveiro Montoya Agudelo, has allowed to combine the coincidences and divergences of two culturally twinned countries: Colombia and Mexico, as well as the effort collaboration of four Latin American institutions: the Cooperative University of Colombia - Medellin, the CEIPA University Foundation, the Vasco de Quiroga University and the Accounting and Administration Faculty of the UNAM. Fifteen renowned academics from institutions participate in it. mentioned, which clearly consolidate a serious and punctual contribution to reflection on the aforementioned SDG. It only remains for me to point out that a short time ago I participated as a guest at the launch of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN, for its acronym in English) in Mexico. In this event, different personalities from academia, the private sector and the public sector converged to promote the generation of proposals that help to specify the multi-cited SDGs. Undoubtedly, Quality of working life and worthy or decent work: new paradigms in organizations will be a novel proposal that, together with existing ones, will allow the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to be fulfilled opportunely and allows to improve effectively and substantially the conditions of life of the population on the planet, in order to achieve the common good.Publicación Acceso abierto El Conocimiento y la Innovación desde las Empresas a las Redes de Innovación(2020) perdomo charry, geovanny; http://scienti.colciencias.gov.co:8081/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000849944 - Geovanny Perdomo Charry; https://scholar.google.es/citations?hl=es&user=KqENyewAAAAJ - Geovanny Perdomo Charry; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4228-1085 - Geovanny Perdomo CharryThis book is the result of a research process carried out methodologically from the theoretical review systematic analysis of the concepts contrasted with the analysis of situations identified as case studies of companies and networks of companies in the software industry in Colombia. The text is divided into three parts: the first, called by the authors as The structuring of knowledge in the organization —divided in turn into the first three chapters— develops, in chapter 1, the concept of knowledge from a reflection oriented by the philosophy that includes the tensions defined between knowledge and pragmatism and knowledge and critical thinking. Chapter 2 deals with the method for making a diagnosis of companies as businesses and chapter 3 is the development of a case study with qualitative methods of the software industry. It is interesting to read how the authors describe the methodology and the results of the investigation. The second part, The structuring of innovation in the organization, raises in chapter 4 the concept of innovation, from the origins and its development with the implication for the industry, contrasted with different views of models of innovation well recognized and implemented in some sectors. One of the main contributions raised in this chapter is a reflection on creativity and innovation. in chapter 5 called Management of organizational innovation, a proposal is proposed reflection of the dynamic capacities of innovation and their relationship with the concept of open innovation. Chapter 6, the last of the second part of the book, is the case study of the company MVM, one of the most important in the software industry, resulting of a qualitative research. The third part of the book, Innovation and knowledge as networks, presents, in chapter 7, conceptually, the innovation and knowledge networks, the main elements of innovation networks. In chapter 8, the last of the book, the case study of an innovation network is shown in the software industry in Colombia, a study conducted with qualitative methodology. With this book the authors intend to make known the results of your research that will be the starting point of new inquiries and reflections on the subject. In addition, the descriptive cases will allow the authors to know the reality of the development of these concepts and their importance in the progress of a company or a network of companies.Publicación Acceso abierto Estudios de caso para la enseñanza de las ciencias básicas(2020) Pérez Galeano, Diego Alejandro; http://scienti.colciencias.gov.co:8081/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001381404 - Diego Alejandro Pérez Galeano; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=CPaBQfMAAAAJ&hl=pt-PT - Diego Alejandro Pérez GaleanoThe constant search for theoretical and methodological strategies that bring students of management programs closer to knowledge mathematics is one of the activities that the group of teachers in the area of basic sciences of the CEIPA University Foundation has carried out in the last years. By the way, and as a result of doctoral research whose object of study was the process of organizing the teaching of professors who teach mathematics in management programs, This book is presented with the aim of bringing together both teachers and students to the methodology of case studies as a possibility for the construction and appropriation of mathematical knowledge in the classroom. Case studies, as a classroom methodology, have been used since more than a century ago in management schools around the world specifically in courses related to areas such as strategy, finance, marketing, international business, human management, decision making decisions among others. Although as a group of teachers we observe than ‘cross-cutting’ or ‘foundational’ areas such as mathematics or statistics still lack methodological bets that exceed a reading passive of formulas or procedures and that effectively show a relationship between that knowledge and the real practices of administrators. This fact, together with the need to organize a teaching that answer questions related to the meaning that the teacher attributes to it to his own activity, motivated the collaborating professors of this book to create the case studies that later the reader will have the possibility to read and reflect theoretically and methodologically. With logistical support and financial support of the CEIPA University Foundation (its Editorial Fund and the Academic Vice President) it was possible not only to give shape to this work but, In addition, as a product of the writing process that the teachers carried out During his doctoral research, it was possible to create the policies of writing the text of the case study and the due teaching note for the fund of the institution. The compiler of this book and the authors of the case studies have endeavored to because reading was enjoyable for teachers and students. I also know hopes that the book does not allow passive reading exercises but, for the On the contrary, motivate teachers to implement this type of methodologies in their own classrooms. Thus, chapter I offers a look at the case studies as teaching methodology. This chapter discusses aspects historical, theoretical and epistemological aspects of case studies and their importance from the point of view of teachers for the construction of mathematical knowledge in the classroom. In addition, aspects such as teamwork, classroom discussions, and the active role of students and teacher orientation in the framework of a mediated session with case studies. Chapter II presents the first case study, whose objective is to Discuss what is the most effective way to price a product with in order to prevent costs and expenses from exceeding expected revenues. Thus, the company Kelly's Cupcakes serves as a backdrop to analyze mathematically (as far as functions are concerned) the importance of defining aspects such as contribution margin, investor's rate of return, costs, expenses and income. In chapter III, Professor Juan Camilo Ceballos presents us with a study of case in which aspects such as mathematical modeling, thought spatial (in terms of area and volume calculations) and linear functions and quadratic. In this case, Piscinas Sulca goes through a difficulty by not finding a way to set selling prices that are not only competitive but that, in addition, guarantee customer loyalty. In chapter IV, Professor Francisco Jaramillo presents his case entitled "Survey design for Manolo's Repairs". In this case study both teachers and students will be able to approach each other through the story created by the author to questions of the following tenor: what should we take into account to choose a sample and its size?; what kind of statistical strategies allow to assess the certainty of a statement?; do you need to have a size sample size too large to ensure a low margin of error? This way the discussion of Astolfo and Greissy, protagonists of the case study, passes due to the need to conduct a market study to determine if Reparaciones Manolo's should expand to other neighborhoods in the city. In chapter V, Professor Antonio Boada presents an interesting study of a case in which there is a debate around a question that could distress to any businessman, especially if he is an entrepreneur: is it bad to ask borrowed? Thus, taking the Pacho's Swimsuits company as a context, students will be able to analyze —from the financial point of view— the necessity and feasibility of making a loan to undertake a project of launching new products. Finally, in chapter VI, Professor Daniel Londoño shows a case study related to the analyzes of waiting lines in the context of the pharmacy Three Points. The use of knowledge as distributions of probability, waiting line theory (or queuing theory) and the analysis mathematical optimization scenarios are put into practice through of reading, reflecting and discussing this case study. The problem that presents the author is well known to anyone who has gone to receive a service in a box office of some establishment, bank, train station among others: long lines and waiting times outside the margins of customer tolerance. At the end of the narration of the case studies, some authors propose guiding questions so that both teachers and students reflect (or resolve) within the framework of the discussion that the case study can produce. By their very nature, we do not expect studies of case they are always narratives with unique solutions, much less than the teacher has the last word when discussing the alternatives that have the protagonists of the story (this aspect is discussed in chapter I). It is also worth noting that each of the case studies was written by a professor who is an expert in the area and has a track record in teaching of basic sciences at university level. Also, at the end of each case studies, teachers created a teaching note that both both teachers and students can use as a starting point for their participation in a session where said case studies are mediated. these notes of teaching, as well as the case study texts, were written based on in the policies defined by the Editorial Fund CEIPA. As an additional contribution, each of the authors led the creation of a case map, which was built collectively by the teaching team of the area of basic sciences through a process that is commented on in the Chapter I. This map, the product of teachers' reflections on their own experiences and knowledge, could become a model that —in the medium or long term—other teachers can use. We hope that this book, as well as the other volumes in the series of case studies published by the CEIPA Publishing Fund, become a constant consultation and reflection tool for professors and students of management schools.Publicación Acceso abierto Empresa familiar: estrategia, capacidad y desempeño(2020-02) Perdomo Charry, Geovanny; Vanoni Martínez, Giuseppe; Quinchía Saavedra, Catalina; http://scienti.colciencias.gov.co:8081/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000849944 - Geovanny Perdomo Charry; http://scienti.colciencias.gov.co:8081/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000160649 - Catalina Quinchía; http://scienti.colciencias.gov.co:8081/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000952133 - Oscar Galindo; https://scholar.google.es/citations?hl=es&user=KqENyewAAAAJ - Geovanny Perdomo Charry; https://scholar.google.es/citations?hl=es&user=RgmKusQAAAAJ - Oscar Andrés Galindo Rodríguez; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3866-0461 - Oscar Andrés Galindo Rodríguez; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4228-1085 - Geovanny Perdomo CharryIn compliance with the mission and objectives of the Professional Board of Directors of Companies to promote studies and research that stimulate the acquisition of new knowledge in the field of administration, which also promote the role of the manager in business, we have the honor of presenting the book: Family Business: strategy, capacity and performance. This is how the researchers Perdomo, Galindo, Vanoni and Quinchía, linked to the group of Research Organization and Management ―ORYGEN― (classified in category A by COLCIENCIAS) and with the support of the Professional Council of Business Administration, have focused this research in the contexts of São Paulo (Brazil) and Medellín (Colombia) to investigate the novel aspects on the co-creation of value and dynamic capabilities in companies relatives. It is worth noting that the co-creation of value ―in terms of the company's relationship with its stakeholders― is conceived as the joint way to generate value in the products and services offered and thus create new ones that adapt to the needs of the client and of society. Meanwhile, dynamic capabilities are exploited by companies to achieve opportunities and detect threats during the production process and the marketing of its products. goods and services, allowing the organization to create new products and processes in order to to respond to the changing circumstances of the market and the environment. Finally, the researchers manage to show that dynamic capacities can generate co-creation of value in family businesses and thus enable a more appropriate response to reach the market of customers, buyers, consumers and users with products and innovative services that contain added value; Similarly with the improvement organizational performance planned, organized, executed and controlled. The findings presented by the researchers invite reading and reflection with the in order to enrich the discussion and decision making around managerial management and professional in business administration and business.Publicación Restringido Publicación Acceso abierto Semana de la investigación y la innovación, 2019(2020-08)From the origin of writing to this 21st century, humanity has gone through various stages in which the generation, preservation and knowledge transfer have been links in a chain of development –dialectical rather than linear−, which has only been possible through of the interaction of individuals and groups, particularly those intended for science, academia, technique and technology. We refer to the transfer of knowledge and the dialogue of knowledge. Research work is an activity that takes place alone or in small groups most of the time, however, without the spread, without its approach to the scientific communities and the rest of society, research in itself is meaningless. The popularization of science is as important for society as it is for the researcher the feedback that can be obtained from it. In this context, the First Week of Research and Innovation CEIPA −2019, fully fulfills the purpose of stimulating the dialogue of knowledge: forty and seven papers by more than thirty-five researchers in fields as diverse as the economy, entrepreneurship, internationalization, organizational processes and business training; are a collection of knowledge that enriches our community of teachers and students, as well as society in general. With presentations in English and Spanish, with the participation of teachers, students and graduates, both in face-to-face and virtual environments, The meeting featured exhibitors from Spain, Mexico, Sweden, Venezuela and Colombia. One of the central topics of the meeting was the discussions on the challenges of education, particularly at the university level, in the framework of the so-called knowledge society. The hermeneutics that seeks to understand the reality of higher education in the dimension of its relevance, helps us point out and delineate two fundamental issues: rethinking the contents and the generation of new didactics. Rethinking the contents of higher education is an issue that It is the order of the day in all academic settings. The question that underlies can be stated in one of these two keys: If the information is on the web, even with higher levels of organization and processing – mode of use, analysis, interpretation, transformation and deconstruction–, then, What should be the new curricular contents? • How to organize the curricular content so that your use in the training processes does not replicate the work of the web, but that strengthens the skills of the individual to their comprehensive development, that is, for the world of work in particular and for adult life in general? But along with the discussion of the contents, there is the debate on didactics, without which the teaching process cannot be conceived and learning. New opportunities arising from the development of information and communication technologies, coupled with principles fundamental pedagogical principles, establish the pillars for new practices didactics according to the needs of the educational systems in the knowledge society. In the First Week of the Research and CEIPA Innovation –2019, regarding the symbiosis between content and methods, the speakers presented various theses and opened debates on the challenges of language and communication, the teaching of mathematics, virtual and face-to-face mediations, the new teaching role and the challenges in terms of curricular transformation. These dilemmas, with their approaches, evidenced a certain anguish intellectual to preserve the cultural heritage of humanity trying to place the training processes in line with the coming challenges of a world that changes by leaps and bounds. In fact, it was possible to show in this dialogue of knowledge that the questions of content and method affect each other reciprocally, hence the Difficulty locating them in watertight compartments. On the other hand, in a more specific perspective, several disciplinary issues. Some speakers addressed the challenges of 27 globalization and the internationalization of business and life, as one One of the biggest dilemmas of modern society. The crisis of Eurocentrism and at the same time of regional integration as a development process, were issues of intense debate that nurtured more specific concerns such as those of international goods markets, property management intellectual and control to the influence of illicit business in relationships international economics of the modern world. The discussions revealed that in today's life and in the near future, economic relations international citizens, organizations and countries will be more strongly marked by realities associated with knowledge (intellectual property), globalization and geopolitics. Finally, it is not surprising that some conferences in general have put the axis of discussion on innovation. This category of science social and technology has become the backbone of the largest discussions about the future of society. Innovation as a process organizational and individual capacity guides reflections on the competitiveness of companies and territories, this approach responds to the realities derived from the digitization of processes, the interconnection through the Internet and the installation of knowledge as an input basic of production processes. We are no longer an economy that manages capital land and work, but data, information and knowledge. In this context, presentations related to entrepreneurship and SMEs, had as a common thread the questions related to the business innovation and its different nuances. So, in short, this book collects the texts rigorously prepared by the speakers who presented their research findings in the First Research Week and Innovation CEIPA –2019. We hope that this material will play its role of serve as a knowledge transfer channel and, thus, serve as a seed in young students and teachers, while being valued, disputed and enriched by other research communities.Publicación Acceso abierto Diálogos emergentes sobre educación virtual: claves para el empoderamiento en el siglo XXI(2020-08) Boada, Antonio; a del Valle Pacheco, Jessica; http://scienti.colciencias.gov.co:8081/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000065829 - Antonio Boada; https://scholar.google.es/citations?hl=es&user=Zv0EdDoAAAAJ - Antonio Boada; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8882-7680 - Antonio BoadaIn this 21st century, education must unavoidably harmonize with the changes experienced by the world in technological, political, economic, social, cultural, environmental, legal, ethical in order to provide citizens with the development competitions; understood as the sum of skills, knowledge and values necessary in, by and for life in society. For this reason, an active dialogue has been proposed that crosses borders of disciplinarity, fragmentation, disengagement and homogeneity. And at the same time promote change and focus in the individual as a rational, emotional, social, cultural and environmental; that is to say that it is valued in its fair dimension from the multiple knowledges that come to agglutinate each other for a total understanding of yourself and your environment. With all this, we want to provide lifelong learning and place that has been assigned in recent times to the way in which learn, what is learned, when is learned, what is taught, how is it taught, when it is taught, who teaches, where it is taught, to where does the school go… So, in this knowledge society there have been open these discourses on virtual education to propose to the reader the adoption and/or development of new skills that allow make their way in their day to day within the labor-business sector, family, social or of any other nature. Those questions lead to a set of dissertations that from a critical, open, flexible, analytical, multidisciplinary, transversal, creative and innovative forces us to check, question, evaluate, build and validate a series of emerging discourses that help to weigh the free transit of the individual towards an increasingly global and competitive world. For this reason, the works included here are ―in principle― findings or contributions that have been added to the emerging reflections on lifelong learning from different fields of knowledge where the CEIPA University Foundation offers a well-nourished corpus with the intention of evaluating -in the 21st century- its potential within of the field of virtual education based on the results of the Saber Pro tests, which are applied by the Ministry of Education National to the future graduates of the country to measure the equality of competences acquired during their training independently of their study modality ―face-to-face or virtual―. In this sense, it is necessary and timely to systematize and assess of the contributions given by CEIPA to raise the quality of the education that is imparted in Colombia. Considering that the demands of daily life demand new teaching scenarios and learning is a sine qua non condition that the conception of these processes evolve and transcend space-time notions, teacher-student, education-work, behaviorism-constructivism among others, in order to guarantee the transformation of educational praxis in higher education institutions. Given the heterogeneity of the contributions, it has been decided to organize information in four parts. The first part, “Potentialities of virtual education in the 21st century: a reality in equality of competences”, is an investigation that according to the nature of the subject matter it addresses, it follows the methods and procedures of a documentary research and the criteria of an investigation descriptive in order to make a better presentation of the results achieved. These results will serve to demonstrate whether CEIPA has managed to establish parity in the educational training of its students and the design, development, management and implementation of plans of studies more attractive and in harmony with the environment, the institution and the group where the educational act is carried out since it teaching must be at the service of knowledge and society that demands it, not the other way around. The second part, "Performance in competitions of students of Face-to-face and virtual modalities in Saber Pro tests: case CEIPA”, where, based on a statistical-descriptive analysis, contrasts the performance of the institution's students in relation to with the various institutions of higher education in Colombia ―already either in the face-to-face modality (day-night) or under the modality virtual-. In this part, the results of the the Saber Pro tests applied to measure the competences of the future professionals of the country for their insertion in a world more globalized and competitive day. The third part, “Problem-based learning: new challenges of virtual education”, makes an outline of the new challenges facing virtual education from the implementation of the problem-based learning given the demands of daily life that demand radical changes in the way it is taught and how learned in this century. Starting from the premise that the rise of ICT ―at the end of the 90s― has been a key factor for the creation, improvement, development and adoption of new models, much more attractive methods, programs and curricula with with a view to preparing citizens for the deployment of skills necessary in the immediate future. Although methodologically this division traces the emphasis or priority that has been assigned today to the teaching and learning process through the development of skills, which are essential to accentuate the empowerment of the person for life and for action above any other model or teaching method to be carried out since the most important thing -for now- is that the student appropriates for himself the skills, knowledge and values necessary to function in a world that is increasingly globalized, competitive, convulsive and overwhelming. No matter the how but the results. Therefore, competency-based training is more than ever an urgency within the social fabric where modern man gravitates. Finally, it includes "The challenges of education in the twentieth century XXI, by way of conclusion”. In this part, a balance is made of the studies gathered here with the firm intention of unleashing new discussions in the near future. Specifically, if you think about the construction-reconstruction-transformation of the social fabric and of man as the creator of the same; hence it is seen as an active entity ―as demanded by the age of technology, the information and knowledge―within their own process of teaching and learning. There is still a long way to go and ground to pave, for this reason, through these challenges, a Useful blog to safely navigate between society 3.0 and 4.0. Developing skills to access information, interpret it, give it meaning, transform it, communicate it, share it or modify it to produce new knowledge useful in, by and for the global world; that is the biggest challenge assume education in this century.Publicación Acceso abierto 2da Semana de la investigación y la innovación, memorias 2020(2020-08) Gómez Trujillo, Ana María; Manotas, Eva Cristina; Quintero Marín, Sara Carolina; http://scienti.colciencias.gov.co:8081/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000129686 - Ana María Gómez Trujillo; https://scholar.google.es/citations?hl=es&user=dluNMaEAAAAJ; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8703-3360 - Ana María Gómez TrujilloThe second CEIPA Research and Innovation Week consolidates this space as a scenario for the transfer of knowledge, dissemination of findings and dialogue of knowledge. For the second consecutive year, professors-researchers from CEIPA and other national and international institutions, students and graduates congregate in a setting conceived so that interdisciplinary knowledge flow and nourish the spirit not only of the participants in the event, but of the attending public and those who will be able to read these memories that we put available to society. The health and economic crisis that the entire planet has been experiencing since beginning of 2020, as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, it was not obstacle for the academic community of CEIPA and its institutions allies, meet in order to carry out this second version, which It had already been planned since the first meeting ended in 2019. This last fact is not an accident or a minor fact if one speaks of an academic and scientific community. Several decades ago both the globalization as the rise of the Internet, both framed in a each increasingly evident Knowledge Society, have been knocking down the walls for co-creation, dissemination and access to knowledge. Consequently, the second week of the Research and Innovation was a validation of what CEIPA has been building since the first years of this century: a community that manages knowledge in face-to-face and virtual environments, without barriers of time or space. The meeting also served to ratify that social realities, economic, business and educational are mutating and, therefore, objects and research questions also evolve, with the encouragement to seek answers to present and future social needs, business and nature, inclusive. In the field of digital transformation and the Knowledge Society, results of investigations that inquire about the weight of the technologies in the evolution of economic and educational processes. Machine Learning and the use of emails were the subject of valuable research. But as ICTs are not in themselves the axis of the Knowledge Society, but, its most disruptive instrument, other researchers dealt with issues related to knowledge management, in this case specifically in an economic sector: the hotel industry. Connecting knowledge management issues with processes administrative, investigations were presented that inquired about the management of human talent and the profile of students in processes formative. In addition to the interest in issues related to the Society of Knowledge, it is evident the need to venture into the questions that derive from the socio-economic purposes to reach levels of sustainable development. This interest explains the presentation of research related to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and the presence of Colombian companies in the same. It is evident that sustainability is a transversal category that already permeates the stock markets and the discussions in the boards company directives. But sustainable development is not only related to indices associated to the nature; social sustainability is a central component of it challenge. The dominant economic model has failed to solve the problems high levels of unemployment, underemployment and even discrimination. Due to the foregoing, the research on practices of human management in companies, 21st century skills and standards for the inclusion of people in production processes. Although it is evident that the research objects have been mutating with trends, especially those related to development sustainability and digital transformation, it is also true that the pandemic leaves us with a number of questions that must be addressed by the international academic community. And this event was no exception. since, among the researchers, they began to look for lights on the implications and costs that this pandemic has had. In short, we want to invite readers to come to the different book chapters of these memories of the second encounter on research and innovation, from CEIPA. published reports They give an account of various questions that we ask ourselves as a society facing to the present and future challenges of our society in general and of the companies and universities in particular.
