In the thematic axis of innovation, entrepreneurship, and creativity within the topic of knowledge management, the following presentations were given: "Tools for Knowledge Management in a Professional Training Program" and "Students' Perception of Learning Outcomes", presented by students Juan Nicolás Clavijo and Angie Paola Claros Rodríguez, respectively.

On the professors' side, the following presentations were delivered: "Bibliometric Analysis Between Ethics and Project Management", by Francisco Javier Ortega, Francisco Javier González, and Reinaldo Erazo Rodríguez; "Rethinking Human Talent Management for Knowledge Management of Teachers", by Elizabeth Toro Chalá and Saúl Jesús Pulido; and "Values in Second-Year Business Administration Students at a Public University in Popayán", by professors Mercy Johana Valencia, Zamanda Correa Correa, and Reinaldo Erazo Rodríguez.

It is worth noting that the presentations on Human Talent Management and Values in second-year students were awarded first place in the thematic areas of Knowledge Management and Organizational Management. "We are very proud and consider these first results to be of great value in a new commitment to research that has been underway since this year, and we are confident it will continue to bring positive achievements," said Professor Yenni Angélica Conde, current Head of the Department of Administrative Sciences.

The Professor added that encouraging research among students and faculty in a Business Administration program is essential for the development of a dynamic and proactive academic culture. "Research not only enriches the teaching-learning process, but also fosters critical thinking and innovation, skills that are crucial in today's business environment."

"Involving our students and faculty in research projects gives them the opportunity to explore new ideas, solve real-world problems, and contribute to the knowledge in the field of administration. This not only strengthens their professional training, but also enhances the quality of our institution, positioning it as a benchmark for generating creative and effective solutions to the challenges of the business world," she concluded.
