Las universidades son organizaciones cuyos enfoques de gestión influyen en su relación con el entorno y con sus grupos de interés. En ese sentido, la responsabilidad social universitaria cumple un rol muy importante al establecer los lineamientos del compromiso que adquiere la universidad con la sociedad: ello delinea las estrategias y las acciones que deben incorporarse en la formación académica, la investigación, la proyección social y la gestión institucional. El presente artículo sistematiza la interrelación de la responsabilidad social universitaria con la gestión institucional, perspectiva poco analizada en el ámbito universitario, pero de relevante importancia. La investigación es de índole teórica y de tipo descriptiva, sustentada en una revisión bibliográfica especializada que ha permitido el análisis y el desarrollo conceptual. Se concluye que es necesario desarrollar un sistema de gestión de responsabilidad social universitaria que uniformice el enfoque de responsabilidad social y oriente la gestión institucional hacia una vinculación y un compromiso necesarios entre la universidad y la sociedad.

Purpose: The objective of this research was to know the results of the adoption of lean manufacturing in companies in Lima, which were reported in theses for university degrees.   Theoretical framework: The adoption of lean manufacturing is challenging and complex and requires specialized process management due to the various barriers and drivers to adoption.    Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted using an exploratory and descriptive methodology that consisted of reviewing university theses related to lean manufacturing. Subsequently, companies were identified and contacted by telephone, applying questionnaires with direct questions about adoption results.   Findings: The results were obtained from the review and comparison of university repositories, SUNAT (Superintendencia de administración tributaria) and telephone calls. Descriptive analyses were performed to evaluate the results, which provided insight into the application of the methodology.   Research, Practical & Social implications:  It is suggested for future research to explore the adoptions of lean manufacturing proposed in articles of indexed journals to learn about their experiences and adapt them to the national reality.   Originality/value: The results indicate that most of the university theses reviewed only propose the adoption of lean manufacturing and have not been implemented due to the complexity and sustainability of the methodology.
