RESUMEN Este artículo aborda la experiencia, historia y particularidades tras el proceso de conformación de Minga, un grupo académico de Estudios Organizacionales en Chile. Siguiendo una metodología histórico-narrativa se construye un relato biográfico de este grupo, en el cual sus protagonistas participan como investigadores/as y autores/as del proceso. Para analizar este relato se adopta una mirada decolonial, indagando simultáneamente en los estilos de liderazgo y la red de conocimiento que esta experiencia moviliza, haciendo un paralelo con la tradición de la minga chilota. Los resultados muestran cómo la pregunta por los Estudios Organizacionales en Chile coincide con un proceso de desprendimiento epistémico del norte global, a través del cual se va consolidando en Minga el liderazgo colectivo y compartido entre sus miembros, así como su funcionamiento como una red académica interorganizacional. Las conclusiones recorren algunos de los aprendizajes que la historia y conformación de este grupo ofrecen para otros colectivos con similares intenciones en el campo de los Estudios Organizacionales en Latinoamérica.
Knowledge management is a discipline that seeks to rationalize the use of knowledge and information in organizations. Since its origins in the nineties, it has developed mainly in countries of the global north, with few contributions from and to developing countries, such as Chile. In recent years, concept of knowledge management in Chile has been used increasingly within economic, administrative, and business environments. However, despite these advances, the scarce existing research in this field does not allow us to clearly visualize the state of development of these initiatives, their characteristics, or their results. Consequently, this study seeks to contribute to the understanding of this new area of development for organizations through the qualitative analysis of twenty-four cases of knowledge management initiatives carried out in public and private organizations in Chile, between 2010 and 2020. It describes the motivations that originated the initiatives, the tools used, some of the difficulties encountered, and other aspects of interest for disciplinary development. Finally, the article concludes with an analysis of the state of development of knowledge management in Chile and a proposed typology to situate the state of progress of organizations in this area.
