Los centros especializados de gestión de conocimiento: una estrategia de desarrollo desde las regiones

The work with which this document deals was developed in order to propose a knowledge management strategy to enhance regional units as spaces for autonomous development. A first part presents a review of state of the art on the theme of regional development and knowledge management. From this first study, we develop a model for a center with seven processes as support of sustainability. On the third part we conduct a study of feasibility in three phases: polls to administrative and academic leaders of the UNAD, interviews with experts and a meeting about CGCE proposals. Valuation of academics and experts agreed that the model is a conceptual and methodological contribution to regional development. Researchers from different groups, specialties and regions contribute showing possible scenarios for this model.
