the production of knowledge during the 4th industrial revolution: a mexican case study

Higher education institutions play a critical role in research, innovation, and the production of knowledge, all of which are hallmarks of the 4th industrial revolution (4ir). to avoid continuing at a disadvantage, countries utilize policies that facilitate the generation of knowledge and, as a result, have an impact on the country #39;s development. in this context, we look for understanding how the production of knowledge policies are implemented in a public mexican university in the period from 2018 to 2021. for this study, a case study and documentary research were used. the results indicate that there is a policy framework that promotes research, innovation and teaching according to the 4ir; however, a closer look at the persons in charge of the production reveals that some researchers produce recognized knowledge while others, with the lower academic training, lack any production.
