A Meta-planing Systemic Model for Mexican Public Universities

Planning has been performed in Mexican public universities, since the 1940s, as a function promoted by government policies. However, the results were not as expected. We found through an exploratory study that this lack of planning efficiency derived from the obsolete planning conceptions and methods adopted.In this paper a meta-planning model is proposed, based on the application of complexity sciences to social organization problems. In this context, only an eminently participative meta-planning process would allow to impulse change and development at the Mexican public universities.
