ABSTRACT
Nowadays, information is a fundamental tool to improve
competitiveness and success in organizations.
Observatories through technological surveillance and
competitive intelligence are a source of knowledge
management. In Colombia there is a multiplicity of topics
in the observatories as a valuable support for decision
makers of companies and institutions of public or private
character and mixed economy. What criteria do the
observatories implement as sources of information in the
search for reliable data to their stakeholders, taking into
account that these particularize the variables in the
creation of new knowledge, helping the actors (public,
academic and business) to make the best decisions in the
development of the regions in particular in the area of
influence of UNIMINUTO Zipaquirá regional center? This
paper identifies concepts and makes a theoretical review
of observatories in order to argue the feasibility of creating
a competitive intelligence observatory in UNIMINUTO
Zipaquirá regional center.
Keywords: Competitive intelligence, observatory,
information, technology watch, knowledge management.

RESUMEN
En la actualidad la información es una herramienta fundamental para mejorar la
competitividad y el éxito en las organizaciones. Los observatorios por medio de la
vigilancia tecnológica y la inteligencia competitiva son una fuente de gestión del
conocimiento. En Colombia se presentan multiplicidad de temáticas en los observatorios
como un valioso apoyo para los tomadores de decisión de las empresas e instituciones
de carácter público o privado y de economía mixta. ¿Qué criterios implementan los
observatorios como fuentes de información en la búsqueda de datos confiables a sus
Stakeholders, teniendo como antecedente que estos particularizan las variables en la
creación de nuevos conocimientos, coadyuvando a los actores (público, académico y
empresarial) a tomar las mejores decisiones en el desarrollo de las regiones en particular
en la zona de influencia de UNIMINUTO centro regional Zipaquirá? Esta ponencia
identifica conceptos y hace una revisión teórica de observatorios con el ánimo de
argumentar la viabilidad en la creación de un observatorio de inteligencia competitiva en
UNIMINUTO centro regional Zipaquirá.
Palabras clave: Inteligencia competitiva, observatorio, información, vigilancia

INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, organizations have a dynamic of exponential growth of permanent and rapid
change, leading to the creation of organizations that compile and require open data or
research of their interest, or organizations that process them, as is the case of
observatories. Having the clarity that these have the function of capturing, processing
and disseminating information through a knowledge management system as expressed
by Medina-Nogueira, Nogueira-Rivera, Medina-León, Medina-Nogueira, & El Assafiri-
Ojeda (2018), where this statement is the axis of development of competitiveness and
success organizations, where information is a fundamental tool for decision makers. For
the authors Villarroel G, Comai, Karmelic-Pavlov, Fernández O, & Arriagada V (2015)
state that the Design and implementation of an observatory with a unit of technological
surveillance and competitive intelligence in this society, which provides data and
information for use, which provides a better understanding of the environment.
However, the lack of knowledge of the different organizations and individuals of the
activities and products generated by the observatories does not allow them to make
assertive and advanced decisions within the framework of their environment, losing the
possibility of using data and reliable transforming information by making use of new
knowledge. The observatories should generate spaces that allow them to dynamize their
function as a contribution to their interest groups and to the knowledge society, in
general to whoever is interested in the topics of their lines of research in the use of the
data and reports generated. Giving academic support in the creation of a competitive
intelligence observatory in UNIMINUTO Zipaquirá Regional Center, in addition to the

above, 42 observatories located in Colombia are recognized and identified, particularly
in Bogotá, central savannah in Cundinamarca. An own methodological proposal is
formulated, which facilitates the construction of knowledge in their daily life, pertinent
to the characteristics of the interests of this new observatory.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
To achieve our general study objective and answer our research question, the study
team was based on three questions: What are the sources and quality criteria of
information required by observatories to generate new useful information for their
stakeholders; What is an information system for an observatory; How do senior
management of organizations incorporate the information provided by observatories
into their decision making process; and How do they incorporate the information
provided by observatories into their decision making process? It began with the search
and review of documents on observatory concepts, it was carried out between June
2019 and April 2020, taking as an example the initiative of Moreno & Mantilla ( 2016),
who used different databases such as Redalyc. Scielo, Dialnet, Scopus, Science direct,
proquest, Ebesco. Using as keywords observatory, information sources, knowledge
management. A study of this type makes it possible to trace different contexts in which
the concept of observatory is defined. Ferreira, (2002) cited in the study by Lilian,
Ferneda, & Hercules Antonio, (2018). In sum, to the above, the methodology was applied
under the concept "research that studies research" employed by Slongo (2004). where
the academic production and its different approaches are systematized and analyzed.
The articles selected in this study were characterized by identifying the author's
credibility or experience in the subject and the methodological quality in the
construction of the information; in parallel, portals of 40 observatories located in
Colombia were searched on the web, particularly in the Central Savannah in
Cundinamarca and Bogotá DC, allowing a characterization of the observatories as
sources of information. In this sense, García Orozco (2010) citing Adam (1973) uses the
word "information" from classical Latin. The term information is a substantivation of the
verb informare, which, being transitive, finds its greatest generality in the expression
aliquid informare. The latter literally means to give form to an object and points to the
development of a process, i.e., to management; therefore, in its very genesis there is a
relationship between the two terms.
In their study Eneida & León, (2014), point out information as a strategic resource, which
is inherent to any organization. The use of it is linked to the specificities required by
each institution and society in general to face the dynamics of the economy, the
evolution of technologies and the development of social life (Contardi 2005).
Similarly, García Orozco (2010) defines the concept of information management, citing
Ponjuan (2004), as the process by which basic resources (economic, physical, human or
material) are obtained, deployed or used to manage information within and for the
society it serves. It has as a basic element the management of the life cycle of this
resource and is developed in any organization.

A matrix was designed where the different observatory concepts are presented as an
object of theoretical analysis. It shows a scarce use of repositories and observatories as
tools to manage knowledge. In their study conclude Medina-Nogueira, Nogueira-Rivera,
Medina-León, Medina-Nogueira, & El Assafiri-Ojeda, (2018) on the effective management
of knowledge through observatories.
From this information management model and the proposed methodology presented by
Guerrero & Erichsen. (2017) to identify the factors that influence social observatories
in Brazil, from the perspective of information management. which we take as a reference
to design a new proposal of information management system where search tools are
integrated, analysis, and dissemination of information, and facilitates decision making
based on useful, relevant and reliable information. It requires as input variables: the needs
and demands of the target public, the priorities of the organization, the unstructured
information, and the computer supports for its management.
Finally, the analysis of the concept matrix and the proposed information management
system model showed how observatories are sources of data processing, manage
knowledge, and provide tools for senior management decision-makers of their
stakeholders.
RESULTS
The definition of observatory according to the study by Pírela, Almarza, & Pulido (2018)
is related as a set of actions organized with the purpose of interpreting realities, objects,
actors, reconstructing situations, variables, indicators in order to process and generate
information and data, which fertilize and support decision making.
It is worth highlighting the contributions of Angulo (2009) who argues that observatories
are a structured and organized system in permanent search of quality information,
validating its origin, making analysis of the environment, monitoring it, building a new
one, motivating its use in the design of strategies on the other hand Soares, Ferneda, &
Do Prado(2018).cite Silva (2014) who complements by stating that observatories or
knowledge centers must go beyond being databases or repositories, they must assume
a proactive and multifunctional position in articulation with knowledge. (Tellez &
Rodríguez, 2014) . In this regard, it is important to define that an observatory is an
organization created by a collective in order to follow the evolution of a phenomenon,
usually of an economic or social nature, from a favorable position. (Sarmiento, Delgado,
& Infante, 2019. P. 33). Observatories according to De la Vega, (2007) are a tool to
perform technological surveillance, it identifies changes in the domain of data
transformed into processed information as a result of the management and objectives
of what is observed. As a result of this transformation and understanding the phenomena
and identifying trends of the variables, anticipating future behavior and generating reliable
products to the receivers. In short, the observatories group knowledge or collective
learning, compiling data and experiences, associated with the objectives in the
construction of knowledge Correa & Castellanos (2014), generating added value by
empowering the human being in the organizations being this a collaborative and

19
cooperative strategy that when put into practice increases the volume and quality of
information for observatories and stakeholders in the information. (Angulo, 2009)
With all and the above, it is evident for knowledge management the application of a
conceptual model, which integrates tools for search, analysis and dissemination of
information that facilitate decision making Moreno-Espino, Carrasco-Bustamante,
Rosete-Suárez, & Delgado-Dapena (2013) , based on Deming's continuous improvement
cycle to create products and services in which value is added to the information.
(Medina-Nogueira, Nogueira-Rivera, Medina-León, Medina-Nogueira, & El Assafiri-
Ojeda, 2018)
According to Moreno, Rosete, Carrasco, Hadfeg-Fernández, & Delgado-Dapena, (2014),
conceptualize on the tools of knowledge management because they process, measure,
evaluate, project, associate technology in search of facilitating the work through
information on specific topics generating reports as stated, De la Vega (2007), in his
research Typology of Science and Technology Observatories. The cases of Latin
America, in which findings, summaries, alerts are disclosed in order to facilitate the
understanding of these topics by the interested parties to make decisions.
Knowledge management according to Jiménez et al. (2019) states that it is at a level that
does not allow identification and socialization of tacit knowledge, Godoy Espinoza et al.
(2017 p. 671) considers it as a systematic process that enables the conversion of
knowledge of individuals and teams into collective knowledge in a way that allows
obtaining sustainable competitive advantages. However, for Herrera, (2019 p.392). there
cannot be a knowledge society in which there is a divorce between the university,
society, private enterprise and the public sector, this interaction generates according to
Gómez-Bayona et al, (2020 p. 15). models of intellectual capital that stimulate companies
to improve and develop new value creation processes, Medina, et al, (2020 p.18) affirm
that knowledge has become the most important intangible asset in the development of
organizations.
Regardless of its nature, for Pachon, (2014) every observatory seeks two basic purposes,
to investigate and socialize, in the research part of a topic or problem of interest, reviews
information, makes a description and characterizes, makes processes of comparison and
contrast, infers, making information transfer that through the different open media in
search of socializing the findings so that the user infers appropriating this and generates
a series of debates permeating the construction of knowledge networks (Correa &
Castellanos, 2014).
In addition, this concept of networks has mutated and depends on the topic and the
phenomenon to be observed Zarate, (2017), in some cases to virtual observatories on
the web, having as background that develop the same objectives supported by the
different tools facilitating the organization , classification and processing of information
in virtual learning environments, building research networks on particular topics,
stimulating users to share arguments that consolidate or not the products socialized on
specific topics . (Peralta & Vargas, 2015, p. 32).

It should be remembered that a technological observatory captures external information
with the purpose of transforming it into specific knowledge that leads its users to make
decisions. For Medina-Nogueira, Nogueira-Rivera, Medina-León, Medina-Nogueira, & El
Assafiri-Ojeda (2018) state that this knowledge is supported by a technological support
in a virtual platform allowing users to share research results or technological watch of
interest (Delgado, et al, 2011)a promoting the application of diagnostic tools in
technological watch for organizations and their projection. (Delgado, M & Arrebato,
2011).
Likewise, organizations such as the network of University Observatories, conceive them
as informative universes that analyze the realities from the strategy in spaces of
reflection, visualizing their management through articles, essays, pepear, accompanied by
the conceptual theoretical background supported by their bibliographical references
socialized in the different media in specialized areas of the concert.
As evidenced the observatories are points of convergence of interests (vocation of the
observatory and interest groups) sharing motivations and perhaps objectives often
conform as a narrowed and specialized version of academic communities and virtual
forums (Rocha-Jiménez, Rueda-Lizarazo, & Chaparro-Guevara, 2016). . Internet
observatories are also a space for the dissemination of a certain way of analyzing the
topic that motivates it; that is, they constitute an editorial window of the group or
organization that gives it life, with respect to the topic they decide to "observe" (Prieto,
2003, sp).
It should be noted that observatories are open research systems based on objectives,
interests, time, methodology and resources, in order to build primary information as
expressed by Pirela, Almarza, & Pulido, (2018) which processing it is a reliable source by
testing it before the community receiving feedback as a result of the analysis and
interpretation of the same motivating reflection, criticism generating other studies from
their results. (Correa & Castellanos, 2014)
It can be seen that 21% of the observatories are oriented to the subject of politics and
democracy. Seventeen percent correspond to the social sector and 12% to the business
sector. It is also found that the observatories with the themes of communications and
astronomy have the lowest percentages (2% and 5%, respectively). It can be deduced
that the topics of economic development, regional and business development in the
department of Cundinamarca are not widely dealt with in the observatories under study.
The following is an analysis of the classification of the thematic areas of the 42
observatories identified in the geographic environment of Bogota and central Sabana.
Education: these observatories seek to promote and interact with the actors of
knowledge and its transfer, in accordance with the academic context and the
development of the substantive functions, research, teaching and extension in their
work. The products generated are disseminated through the Academic Magazine,
newsletters, and job boards for students, teachers and graduates.
Social: These observatories promote the development of social projects aimed at the
most vulnerable communities in order to transform and improve their quality of life,
e-ISSN: 2576-0971. July - September Vol. 5 - 3 - 2021 . http://journalbusinesses.com/index.php/revista

helping to create and strengthen public policies in search of the welfare of the general
population with impact projects.
The products generated in this thematic area include: quality of life reports, trend
reports, territorial characterization, technological surveillance, databases, infographics,
georeferenced maps, presentations, newsletters, systematization of experiences and
structuring of social technologies.
Politics and Democracy: These observatories seek to follow up and monitor regulations
and jurisprudence in the different state bodies in order to reduce corruption and
increase the effectiveness of government actions in their decisions, these are located at
100%. In the Special District of Bogota. The products generated in this thematic area
are: Legislative and Judicial Follow-up Report, analysis of reports generated by the
different entities, Newsletters, quarterly magazines.
Health: The objective of these health observatories is to formulate, follow up and
monitor the different factors that affect public health, the environment and their impact
on the communities, supporting the creation of public policies in the Ministry of Health
and Social Protection, in particular the products generated in this thematic area are
bulletins, reports, documents, analysis and synthesis on topics related to the
management of drugs, inclusion, the disabled, orphan diseases, among others.
Technology: These observatories characterize and monitor the e-commerce ecosystem
in Colombia. They also analyze the phenomena, objects, events, relationships, dynamics
and effects linked to the use and application of information technologies in contemporary
reality. The products generated in this thematic area are documents oriented to the use
of media and technological mediations in articles of indexed journals.
Business: The business observatories are characterized by compiling useful, timely and
accurate information on the impacts of the country's economic policies and their impact
on companies, monitoring trade agreements, analyzing pros and cons in the different
sectors and sharing public policy guidelines. The products generated in this thematic area
include employability databases, market studies, articles, newsletters, reports and
events.
Labor: In general, environmental observatories seek to rigorously monitor biotic
systems and their effects of human interaction, to learn about and participate in cases of
socio-environmental conflicts, corroborating compliance with established norms and the
proposal of government policies in favor of the quality of life of fauna and flora and the
protection of nature in general. The products generated in this thematic area are
documentaries, reports, databases, statistics, communication between interest groups
and public and private companies.
Communication: The Media observatory is an institutional project whose purpose is to
contribute to the identification, analysis and discussion of problems inherent to
communication (in its broadcasting, circulation and reception processes) and, above all,
the way in which the informative function is fulfilled in Colombia's mass media. The
products generated in this thematic area are media analysis, audience formats and
bulletins.

Astronomical: The astronomical observatories seek social appropriation of science and
technology through the creation of training and research strategies in space sciences.
The products generated in this thematic area are training courses in astronomy and
training and disciplinary research seedbeds.
The Centro Progresa EPE is a unit of academic management, administrative management
of UNIMINUTO that contributes to the social projection. The strategies of the Centro
Progresa EPE are derived from the Educational Project of Uniminuto and the Social
Projection Policy. its purpose is to provide extension services and open opportunities
for the consolidation of the life project of the Students and Graduates, through more
education, more opportunities in entrepreneurship, employability and professional
practice as the experience of the first job.
In order to carry out this task, the Zipaquirá Regional Center has been negotiating a
series of inter-institutional agreements with businessmen in the area with a view to
incorporating the needs of the companies and the training processes taught in the
classrooms.
The most important subsectors as strategic allies are the Services Sector with a share
of 20.3%, the Education Sector with a share of 19.2%, the Solidarity Economy Sector
with 16.9%, and the Financial, Health and Transportation Sectors with the lowest share.
In the table above indicates the percentage level of companies in the service sector
identifying that it is equivalent to 71% and the manufacturing sector 20% and the primary
sector 9%, identifying that the tertiary service sector is may be the stakeholders or
Stakeholders.
DISCUSSION
After reviewing the theoretical concepts, it can be affirmed that observatories are a
source of information transformation that gathers contextual phenomena and generates
reports for decision makers. From the analysis of the 42 observatories in Bogota and
central savannah, no observatories oriented to the productivity and competitiveness of
small and medium-sized entrepreneurs in terms of competitive intelligence were
identified. It is proposed the creation of an observatory that meets the interests of small
and medium-sized entrepreneurs and contributes to their permanence over time.
There is no real organizational culture in the companies of the region towards
competitive intelligence and innovation by the managers of the organizations, which
implies that many of them are not aware of the existence of observatories or entities
that provide key information inputs for decision making. By their nature, observatories
promote multidisciplinary bibliometrics in their research, making use of statistical,
sociological and informatics tools, managing the fulfillment of research objectives using
databases in open access documents.

CONCLUSIONS
The authors define the concept of observatories as open research systems that capture
information, integrate search tools, using methodologies and technological resources,
organizing, classifying and processing data in convergence with the interests of
stakeholders (internal and external to the organizations), promoting collective learning,
supported by technological surveillance and competitive intelligence to transfer
information, making use of knowledge management tools that lead their users to make
better decisions.
