Technological learning, strategy to impulse the development and competitiveness of the panification sector in Colombian Guajira

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyze the mechanisms of technological learning in the Colombian Guajira baking industry. The methodology used was descriptive, with a field design, not experimental and transectional. As for data collection techniques, the survey technique was used, and a questionnaire was used as an instrument, applied to 138 key informants from bakeries in the municipalities of La Guajira. For the statistical treatment, Microsoft Office Excel 2007 was used, generating the result of the measures of central tendency and standard deviation. Based on the results obtained, it is concluded that each of the mechanisms represents an integrating element within the technological learning process, emphasizing that, within research learning, companies lack tools that take advantage of this way of learning. Likewise, the presence of learning by training, as a key aspect within the same, is evidenced, achieving the objective of the present study.
