| Résumé: | <p>This study aims to determine the ecology surrounding intellectual production in the Postgraduate program in Research and Development Management at the Central University of Venezuela during the 2019 – 2020 period, through a prospective tool known as weak signals and wild cards. Counting on the participation of 20 students from the postgraduate chair in Prospective, it was based on hermeneutical ethnomethodology, in which a qualitative, instrumental approach was undertaken. In this approach, brainstorming, structured surveys, group discussions using STEEPV and World Coffee dynamics, and mainly online documentation were used. Fifty-five signals (19 positive and 36 negative) were detected; all of them associated with interest in research and development in the Venezuelan society. Some of the most relevant signals are those related to a huge growth of digital businesses through the 4.0 application, a considerable migration of professionals, limited Internet access, and economic difficulty to purchase updated software; in addition to the impact of changing rectors, constant conflict between authorities and the government, among others.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Wild cards; weak signals; prospective; STEEPV; World coffee</p> |
