Las universidades politécnicas territoriales y sus procesos académicos. Analogía mediante las metáforas de Morgan

Abstract

In the context of higher education institutions that have experienced transformations in their curricular redesigns and organizational structures, the emergence of Territorial Polytechnic Universities stands out as a step towards the forefront of the nation's socio-cultural changes. These institutions have implemented Socio-Integrative Projects that have led to movements from vertical to matrix structures, implying changes in the actions of the actors involved. This change in institutions can be related to Morgan's metaphors, in which organizations are observed to behave in a certain way due to their structure and internal functioning. In this sense, the documentary study carried out within the framework of qualitative research seeks to reflect on the reasons behind the way in which these institutions are organized and operate today. In conclusion, higher education institutions have evolved towards new forms of organization and operation, adapting to changes in the sociocultural environment. This process can be understood through Morgan's metaphors, which allow us to understand the internal and external dynamics that influence their behavior.
