ORTIZ-BARRERA, Manuel Alfredo. Tacit and Explicit Knowledge: Drivers of the Competitiveness of Universities. Merc. negocios [online]. 2023, vol.24, n.50, pp.51-70.  Epub Sep 29, 2023. ISSN 2594-0163.  https://doi.org/10.32870/myn.vi50.7708.

This research examines these two cognitive dimensions through a confirmatory factor analysis to determine whether their relationship with the competitiveness variable is suitable for generating genuine competitive elements. These variables have been reviewed based on available cutting-edge literature and collected a priori from Mexican higher education institutions. Cognitive elements serve as precursors to competitiveness; however, comprehending this necessitates an analysis of the cognitive asset from a dimensional perspective, wherein formal and informal knowledge criteria are scientifically established as explicit and tacit knowledge.
