Resumen
Resumen: El modo en que hoy se producen y consumen bienes y servicios conlleva serios problemas socio-ambientales, cuya complejidad requiere la colaboración de redes interdisciplinarias constituidas por los grupos interesados en cada problemática, con el fin de poder crear alternativas innovadoras, sostenibles y localmente pertinentes en el contexto de un mundo globalizado. Para contribuir a esta materia, por medio de este trabajo se propone un modelo para el desarrollo de capacidades de innovación en el marco de la sostenibilidad corporativa, basado en una articulación dinámica de diferentes conceptos del Aprendizaje Organizacional y la teoría cognitiva, con ciertos aspectos de la gestión empresarial y de la innovación, y el desarrollo sostenible. Con base en algunos elementos de dicho modelo, se implementa un ejercicio aplicativo en una problemática de sostenibilidad como es el manejo y la gestión de las aguas residuales municipales, buscando solo un grado preliminar de desarrollo de capacidades de innovación sostenible a un nivel de sensibilización. Se conforma un grupo experimental de personas, que por su experiencia y formación académica pudieran simular una red inter-organizacional de actores interesados en la problemática, esperando obtener algunos indicios empíricos que permitieran justificar la viabilidad del modelo. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que a este nivel de intervención, se logra incentivar cierto grado de interacción colaborativa entre los actores, derivando en diferentes propuestas novedosas y sostenibles para aprovechar las oportunidades subyacentes a la problemática. De igual forma se obtiene una percepción general en los participantes respecto al potencial del ejercicio para generar diálogo interdisciplinario y arrojar resultados importantes si este se aplica en circunstancias específicas, justificando la futura estructuración de metodologías considerando todos los elementos del modelo, y aplicándolo en una red inter-organizacional de grupos interesados en una problemática real de sostenibilidad
Abstract: The way in which goods and services are produced and consumed nowadays entails serious social and environmental issues, which complexity require interdisciplinary collaboration networks made up of stakeholders of each issue, in order to be able to create innovative, sustainable and locally relevant alternatives, within the context of a globalized world. To contribute to this field, this study proposes a model for the development of innovation capabilities within the framework of corporate sustainability, based on a dynamic articulation of different concepts of Organizational Learning and the Cognitive Theory, with certain aspects of business and innovation management, and sustainable development. Based on some elements of the model, a practical exercise is implemented on a sustainability problem, how is the handling and management of municipal wastewater, searching a preliminary level of development of sustainable innovation capabilities to a level of awareness. An experimental group of people was summoned, whose experience and academic background could simulate a network of inter-organizational stakeholders of the issue, hoping to obtain empirical insights that would to justify the viability of the model. The results show some degree of collaborative interaction among the actors at this level of intervention, producing different novel and sustainable proposals to take advantage of opportunities underlying the issue. Also there were general views gathered from the participants regarding the potential of this exercise to generate interdisciplinary contributions applied to specific circumstances, justifying further methodologies using all the elements of the model, and its application to inter-organizational stakeholders networked around real sustainability issues
