Resumen
El presente estudio, titulado "Análisis de la Capacidad de Absorción Territorial en la Región Caribe Colombiana: Un Estudio Comparativo entre Barranquilla y Valledupar", se propone examinar las diferencias en la capacidad de absorción territorial entre ambas ciudades. Este concepto se entiende como la habilidad de un territorio para identificar, asimilar, transformar y aplicar conocimiento externo, aspecto fundamental para impulsar su desarrollo económico y social. El objetivo principal de esta investigación es evaluar dicha capacidad en la región Caribe colombiana, mediante un enfoque comparativo entre Barranquilla y Valledupar. Para ello, se utiliza una metodología descriptiva y comparativa, basada en el análisis de datos secundarios obtenidos de fuentes institucionales y académicas.
Los resultados obtenidos reflejan hallazgos clave en relación con cada uno de los objetivos de la investigación. En cuanto al primer objetivo, la revisión de la literatura reveló que la infraestructura y el capital humano son las variables fundamentales que más influyen en la capacidad de absorción territorial, especialmente en contextos con distintos niveles de competitividad. Para el segundo objetivo, se identificó que Barranquilla cuenta con una ventaja notable en infraestructura educativa y en el apoyo institucional para la innovación, mientras que Valledupar presenta desafíos significativos relacionados con el capital humano y la disponibilidad de recursos financieros. Finalmente, el tercer objetivo sugiere como estrategia prioritaria el fortalecimiento de la cooperación público-privada en ambas ciudades, con el fin de mejorar la infraestructura y fomentar el desarrollo de capacidades tecnológicas e innovadoras.
El estudio concluye que es fundamental promover la colaboración entre universidades, empresas y el gobierno en ambas ciudades, con estrategias adaptadas a sus contextos particulares. La investigación aporta recomendaciones que pueden ayudar a fortalecer la capacidad de absorción territorial, impulsando así un desarrollo más equitativo y sostenible en la región Caribe colombiana.
The present study, titled "Analysis of Territorial Absorptive Capacity in the Colombian Caribbean Region: A Comparative Study between Barranquilla and Valledupar," aims to examine the differences in territorial absorptive capacity between these two cities. This concept is understood as a territory's ability to identify, assimilate, transform, and apply external knowledge, a fundamental aspect for driving its economic and social development. The main objective of this research is to evaluate this capacity within the Colombian Caribbean region through a comparative approach between Barranquilla and Valledupar. A descriptive and comparative methodology is employed, based on the analysis of secondary data from institutional and academic sources. The results obtained reflect key findings related to each research objective. Regarding the first objective, the literature review indicated that infrastructure and human capital are the fundamental variables with the greatest impact on territorial absorptive capacity, especially in contexts with varying levels of competitiveness. For the second objective, it was found that Barranquilla holds a significant advantage in educational infrastructure and institutional support for innovation, while Valledupar faces notable challenges related to human capital and financial resources. Finally, the third objective proposes strengthening public-private cooperation in both cities as a priority strategy to enhance infrastructure and foster the development of technological and innovation capacities. The study concludes that promoting collaboration among universities, businesses, and the government in both cities is essential, with strategies tailored to their specific contexts. The research provides recommendations that may help strengthen territorial absorptive capacity, thereby fostering more equitable and sustainable development in the Colombian Caribbean region.
