CORREDOR CASTELLANOS, Guillermo Rodrigo. KNOWLEDGE PROCESS OUTSOURCING AS A KEY FOR COMPETITIVENESS OF COLOMBIAN BIOTECHNOLOGICAL SECTOR. Semest. Econ. [online]. 2014, vol.17, n.36, pp.87-100. ISSN 0120-6346.

Colombia as a country with mega diversity has important competitiveness advantages in the global market of raw materials and essential natural ingredients for a larger number of industrial activities.However, current practices related to provision of natural ingredients derived from biodiversity show divergences in relation to the scope of norms on technology transfer written in several multilateral instruments.This document tackles the concept of knowledge management outsourcing within the context of public policies oriented to the commercial use of biodiversity resources, searching for ideal conditions which may favor delocalization of research and development activities for multinational corporations related to bioprospection and basic research in such a way that biodiversity resources may be an object of aggregated value activities within the national territory.

Keywords : Outsourcing; Biotechnology; Biodiversity Conservation.
