In recent years there has been a reassessment of the importance of knowledge in organizations. This has led to the need for knowledge management as a process for the acquisition, development, and use of knowledge, both tacitly and explicitly, for the achievement of business goals, the maintenance of sustainable competitive advantage, and innovation. The aim of this paper is to analyze knowledge management in companies involved in innovation activities in the state of Yucatán, México, through a quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental study, which was conducted by means of a survey given to a sample of 73 managers of these companies. The results show that, in these companies, knowledge management is at a highly-developed stage. The storage and application practices are those which companies have worked harder, whereas protection and acquisition of knowledge have received less attention. They have focused on storing information that represents valuable knowledge and applying it, mainly for the improvement everyday tasks that contribute to streamline processes and redesign of products and/or services.
El presente artículo tiene como objetivo dar a conocer el papel de la mujer en la economía del estado de Yucatán. El estudio se llevó a cabo con un enfoque cuantitativo y descriptivo a partir del análisis de datos estadísticos oficiales que permitieron ofrecer un panorama de la situación laboral actual de la mujer y su participación en emprendimientos. Se utilizó como categoría de análisis el tamaño de las empresas y los sectores económicos. Con base en el análisis de los datos, se concluye que, en Yucatán, y en comparación con los hombres, existe una mayor participación de mujeres empleadas. Asimismo, éstas se encuentran laborando, principalmente, en actividades de servicios como la salud y la educación. Se destaca la labor de las mujeres como emprendedoras pues, en el estado, representan un mayor porcentaje que sus contrapartes hombres, incluso mayor que a nivel nacional.
