La finalidad de esta disertación es mostrar al sector universitario, docente y directivo,estrategias, medios y materiales que les permitan adaptarse con éxito a las realidades emergentes en el ámbito digital,a raíz de la situación con COVID-19, y así poder mantener la viabilidad económica y operativa de las universidades. Hago una contextualización teórica partiendo de una analogía con el pensamiento de Abraham Maslow para identificar las debilidades, limitaciones y riesgos que enfrentan las universidades en América Latina y Estados Unidos. Aplico la teoría de Constraints (TOC) con el propósito de identificar un plan de acción en el seno de las IES, buscar soluciones y elaborar proyectos que permitan una adecuada toma de decisiones y posterior seguimiento y control; generando incentivos y motivando el cambio en el comportamiento en la comunidad universitaria, lo que reduciría los niveles de ansiedad.
