Optimization of Academic Competitiveness Through Advanced Knowledge Management Models with a Systemic Approach

Abstract

In a context of rapid advances in educational methodologies and their socioeconomic impact, this research highlights the crucial role of Knowledge Management (KM) in optimizing academic competitiveness in university research. The study, carried out at the National University of Cajamarca, demonstrates that effective knowledge management, based on innovative practices and technological tools, contributes significantly to the strengthening of scientific production and academic visibility. The proposed model addresses critical deficiencies in current KM practices, promoting the transfer, storage, and use of knowledge in an environment that fosters innovation and research quality. Through a mixed approach, qualitative and quantitative, the impacts of this model were evaluated, showing a notable increase in the quantity and quality of publications in indexed journals, as well as in the scientific productivity of the institution. In addition to contributing to the theoretical framework of KM in higher education, the study offers a practical and replicable model for other institutions seeking to improve their academic competitiveness. This approach highlights the importance of structured KM practices to meet global educational standards and effectively contribute to the advancement of the knowledge economy.
