¿Hacia una teoría de la administración en América Latina?

Francisco Ballina Ríos ()

No 19345, Ensayos de Economía from Universidad Nacional de Colombia Sede Medellín

Abstract: Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es indagar qué tanto ha evolucionado la disciplina administrativa como técnica o como episteme, en el contexto latinoamericano. Se plantea que la teoría latinoamericana de la administración enfrenta una doble problemática: la epistemológica, por su falta de consistencia y coherencia interna, y la sociológica, debido a que su aparato conceptual está constituido de enfoques técnicos, ligados a procesos de producción a nivel mundial de corte pragmático-racionalistas; esta teoría administrativa, se fundamenta en el liberalismo económico, en modelos gerenciales provenientes en forma dominante de Europa y Estados Unidos, así como Japón. Asimismo, se busca describir sintéticamente hacia dónde se dirigen las agendas alternativas de investigación en administración para superar este escollo, mediante una conceptualización del papel que en nuestras sociedades juegan las empresas y las organizaciones. Abstract The objective of this article is to investigate how much the discipline of business has evolved as technique or as episteme, in the Latin American context. It is proposed that the Latin American administration theory is facing a double challenge: an epistemological one, due to its lack of consistency and internal coherence; and a sociological one, given the fact that its conceptual apparatus consists of technical approaches connected to production processes on a global scale with a pragmatic-rationalist emphasis. This administrative theory is based on economic liberalism, on management models that predominantly come from Europe and USA, as well as Japan. Likewise, the aim is to make a synoptical description of where the alternative agendas for research on business are headed in order to overcome this hurdle, through a conceptualization of the role that businesses and organizations play in our societies.
