Abstract

Within the historical, social, and cultural context of higher education in Ecuador, the objective of this documentary research was to carry out a bibliographic review as a basis for understanding the meaning that technology has for the community and how it contributes to organizational innovation in higher education institutions. Through the argumentation of concepts of the Structural Contingency Theory and the Theory of the Social Construction of Technology, it contributes to the discussion to find new ways of imagining Ecuadorian higher education, supported by the management of technology, to give room for more organic structures where substantive rationality prevails, which promote the well-being, creativity, and excellence of the members of the university community. In such a way, that society receives people who seek justice, social equity, and the emancipation of the human being. In conclusion, to generate a perspective from the south that innovates higher education in Ecuador in the 21st century, it is necessary to consider the social context where the interactions between technology, culture in higher education and the organizational structure of universities take place. Inquiring into human consciousness and subjectivity from the point of view of the members of the education community, to meditate on the reality of higher education as a network of intersubjectively shared meanings, which determine the way each higher education institution reacts to the challenges of the environment.
