Abstract

Resumen En Colombia el Marketing ha sido considerado como un elemento no esencial en los planes de estudio y políticas de las instituciones educativas públicas o gubernamentales. Por oposición a esta concepción tradicional, el número de empresas educativas de carácter privado, que están desarrollando propuestas de investigación e implementación de estrategias y actividades, que tienen como finalidad identificar y comprender las necesidades empresariales, los fenómenos sociales, la complejidad y las oportunidades económicas, tanto a nivel regional como nacional, para disenar programas académicos que respondan a estas necesidades, es cada vez mayor. En este estudio se pretende dar cuenta, en primera instancia, de un marco teórico que referencie las publicaciones de orden nacional e internacional sobre el campo de acción del marketing, sus principales características y aspectos a tener en cuenta. A partir de allí se construyen variables que faciliten la comprensión del fenómeno estudiado, posibiliten la construcción de unidades de análisis, lo cual permitirá desarrollar una recolección de información, tanto física como en entornos virtuales, que de cuenta de las estrategias desarrolladas por las instituciones indagadas. Se continúa con una descripción de estrategias, aspectos esenciales en la oferta de valor de las Universidades y de cómo se convierten en diferenciadores claves en el mercado. Finalmente se presentan conclusiones y recomendaciones acerca de las mejores estrategias encontradas, al tiempo que se proponen algunas adicionales. ****** Abstract Colombia is a country where Marketing has been considered a non-essential element in curricula and educational policies in public or governmental institutions. In contrast to this traditional view, there is an increasing number of private education institutions that are developing research proposals and implementating strategies and activities to identify and understand business needs, social phenomena, complexity and economic opportunities at both, regional and national levels to design academic programs that respond to these needs. This paper seeks to explain, in the first instance, a theoretical framework that references the national and international publications on the field of marketing, their key features and aspects to consider. From that point, variables are constructed to facilitate the understanding of the phenomenon, ease the construction of analysis units and thus proceed to collect physical and virtual information accounting for the strategies developed by the studied schools. Then the paper describes strategies, essential components of the universities’ value offer and how they become key differentiators in the market. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are presented as well as the best strategies found and some additional ones are suggested.
