Abstract
The Venezuelan university transformation is guided by principles of Latin
American and Caribbean integration, whose priority is to correct the
evolutionary and progressive need of societies; In this sense, managing it
becomes the primary tool to overcome numerous challenges in terms of
technological, political and social education. The present investigation has as
an incentive the critical analysis of postulates on the subject, issued by authors
such as: Berrios, Castillo and Castro (2009), Morales (2012), Muro and Picón
(2005), until Rivero and Goyo (2012). From a qualitative methodology, using
hermeneutics as a general method of comprehension, located in a
documentary design, aimed at the analysis of discourse, we turn to the triadic
model technique, where various categories and subcategories emerge, to form
an assumption with the proposed vision. Among the outstanding findings:
university transformation requires leaders committed to the new paradigmatic
changes that humanity demands; the university management, must wield the
knowledge towards the construction and operation of a national productive
model towards the development of the country; and also, within the complexity
of political, social and economic interactions and interrelations, make a
sustained effort to conceive and found a reform of thought for the evolution of
society.
