NARANJO P, Sandra; GONZALEZ H, Dory Luz  and  RODRIGUEZ M, Johanna. The Challenge of Knowledge Management in Colombian Higher Education Institutions. Folios [online]. 2016, n.44, pp.151-164. ISSN 0123-4870.

Higher education institutions are currently facing a new social contract that determines the performance of scientific knowledge and establishes conditions to measure the impact of their results in society, from innovation products or by facilitating the social appropriation of knowledge. This contract begins in the governing bodies of the State which, through policy-making, establish guidelines for the participation of higher education institutions (in Spanish, IES) in the socio-economic development plans that fall within the requirements of a globalized world. This article posits the knowledge management theory as a framework from which strategies emerge for the establishment of IES as knowledge organizations and the rationalization of their involvement in the academia-society relationship.

Keywords : Knowledge society; higher education institutions; science; technology and innovation system; knowledge organization; knowledge management.
