Management of scientific knowledge by research groups. An experience at the Universidad de Oriente (Original)

Abstract

The research groups are a viable alternative to carry out important scientific projects that provide solutions to the complex problems of today's society. In this regard, it is necessary to increase their organizational capacity to meet individual and institutional goals, stimulating creativity in scientific production and communication. The objective of the work was to make a critical reflection on the importance of research groups for the management of scientific knowledge and present the experience developed by the Research Group on Mathematics and Computation (GIDMAC), belonging to the Universidad de Oriente, Cuba. The conclusion is that these groups have a very promising future in knowledge management, as long as they guarantee their strategic projection towards organizational aims and cardinal values, which contribute to institutional excellence and the sustainable development of society.
