Knowledge Networks around Coffee Production in an IES in Central Mexico

Roughly, an academic network involves internal processes such as affiliation, sociotechnics, socialization and translation as central factors of entrepreneurship, innovation and competitiveness. However, the study of their trajectories of dependency relations has been subordinated to the perceptions of its members. The purpose of the paper is to contrast a model focused on the utility of knowledge networks to elucidate cooperation scenarios in the face of a possible imbalance of external demands and internal resources to organizations. A transversal and exploratory study was carried out with a selection of 158 students from a public university in central Mexico. Results and lines of research concerning the four stated factors and their indicators are noted.
