ZUNIGA RAMIREZ, César; SOLANO CORDERO, Jennier  e  BOLANOS GARITA, Rolando. Quantic trends in knowledge-based companies: A case analysis of a Costa Rican experience. Tec Empre. [online]. 2016, vol.10, n.3, pp.29-40. ISSN 1659-3359.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18845/te.v10i3.2938.

This article presents a debate between the application of concepts related to the traditional model of administrative sciences, included within the so-called ‘newtonian’ school, and the application of more contemporary concepts, covered under the new ‘quantic’ administrative approaches, using the specific case of a knowledge-based enterprise. The inquiry supposes that a company of this nature, which is also taken as a case study in the Costa Rican business environment, should hold a closer position to the more recent administrative focuses, especially because its business orientation presents important administrative and environmental challenges. From the information collected from the project managers involved in this firm, we have concluded that their points of view show tendencies that differ from the quantic approaches, and this constitutes an element that diminishes the enterprise’s competitiveness, as well as its capacity to adapt, and the flexibility in the functioning of its operation.
