Description
Summary:This article is the product of a research work that brings together Mexican Higher Education institutions to characterize the paths taken in integrating digital technologies into their internal processes. Its objective is to analyze the transition from government policies to their implementation in organizations. The methodology reviews the intertextuality among documents of various genres issued to promote the incorporation of digital technology at the higher education level. By relating the texts, a process of argumentation was identified which serves as a reference point for meaning in decision-making. When comparing Spain and Mexico, it is recognized that the framework of the former has greater legal precision in terms of objectives, strategies, actions, and indicators, which, along with significant funding, strengthens management and implementation. In the specific case of Universidad de Guadalajara in Mexico, it is noted that university policies are segmented and focused on incorporating technology into a part of their processes. This work concludes that governmental reference frameworks are essential for guiding the design of policies for the digital transformation of universities.
