| Sumario: | Since the configuration of capitalism under the modality of the economy of innovation and knowledge in the period of the seventies of the last century, the relationship between universities and capitalist enterprises has become a basic component of the knitting of social relations in contemporary society. The hypothesis of this work is that these university-business relationships have been one of the central factors in the development of new modes of generation, circulation and application of contemporary social knowledge, which has had a decisive impact on the evolution of the role of universities in society. This has operated under the tensions that are generated in these relations between the university and the business actor, due to the different determinants with which these actors assume the development of knowledge. But the most significant thing for our hypothesis is that this dynamic of knowledge in the relationship between universities and entrepreneurs together with the new technological revolutions has contributed to the general evolution of the role of knowledge in collective life, now characterized as “the knowledge society”. This is particularly significant in the current historical period that has been identified in the literature as “Change of time” for humanity. This is due to various phenomena of great social relevance among which we unleash the ongoing transition from the knowledge society to the digital society and sustainable development, in which universities must participate with knowledge proposals for the benefit of society as a whole. |
