Rethinking research management in Colombia

– This paper seeks to present a proposal to change the form in which knowledge is produced in Colombia., – Discusses the key issue – to transform the way in which the production of knowledge is currently taking place at the university level., – To be able to increase the production of knowledge in this country there is a need to create bonds among industrial, governmental, and academic institutions. It is believed that this can be done by the development of a system capable of continuously forming researchers at a doctoral level., – The paper puts forward a proposal for the construction of such a system based on the developments of organizational cybernetics. The proposal is based on the concept of autonomy which is crucial to solve this problem.
