La tesis que se presenta, muestra cómo a través de metáforas biológicas pueden plantearse nuevas alternativas de gestión de los sistemas de integración empresarial. La hipótesis subyacente de la investigación considera que las empresas integradas se adaptan mucho mejor a los mercados altamente competitivos y que las alternativas biológicas han demostrado que las especies que trabajan conjuntamente coevolucionan para poder permanecer y desempeñarse con mayor eficiencia. La integración se interpreta como la posible interacción que realizan empresas y organizaciones para alcanzar objetivos específicos y generar ventajas competitivas. Inicialmente la investigación desarrollada examina las diferentes formas de integración empresarial, primero desde una perspectiva económica y posteriormente retomando el enfoque de la gestión de las organizaciones. Luego, se fundamenta conceptualmente la metáfora como método propuesto para el aprendizaje y la dinamización de la integración, enfatizando particularmente en el aporte proyectado desde las ciencias biológicas. En este sentido se definen tres ámbitos de las biociencias que son pertinentes para su aplicación en el contexto estudiado: evolución, ecología y sociobiología. El aporte de la investigación se centra en proponer una alternativa de gestión organizacional basado en la metáfora biológica, adaptando el proceso administrativo en un contexto de gestión sistémica, este se basa en el análisis de los fundamentos de esta metáfora desarrollada literal y figuradamente entre los contextos biológicos y empresariales respectivamente. Finalmente se analizan las ventajas favorables que deben emerger y fortalecerse de la aplicación de la metáfora en los sistemas de integración. // Abstract. The thesis presented, it shows how through biological metaphors is possible to consider new options for managing the business integration systems. The underlying assumption of research considers that integrated companies fit much better in highly competitive markets and also that biological alternatives have shown that species that work together to stay and perform more efficiently, co-evolve jointly. Integration is interpreted as the possible interaction performed by companies and organizations to achieve specific objectives and competitive advantages. Initially, the developed research examines the different forms of business integration, first from an economic perspective and then resuming the approach related to the management of organizations. Then, is established conceptually the metaphor as a proposed method for dynamic learning and integration, emphasizing particularly with the contribution projected from the biological sciences. In this sense, the document defined three areas of biosciences that are relevant for application in the context studied: evolution, ecology and sociobiology. The contribution of the research focuses on proposing an alternative of organizational management based on the biological metaphor, adapting the administrative process in a context of systemic management; this is based on the analysis of the foundations of this metaphor literally and figuratively developed between contexts biological and from business, respectively. Finally the document analyzed the favorable advantages which should emerge and consolidate from the application of metaphor in integration systems.Abstract: The thesis presented, it shows how through biological metaphors is possible to consider new options for managing the business integration systems.
