The article analyzes the relationship between the technocrats of the River Meta Navigability Project and the Achagua indigenous community in Colombia. The importance of the Achagua's participation in co-directing the project to ensure the survival of the river and future generations is highlighted. The article examines the impact of neoliberal techniques on the daily life of the Achagua people and how it seeks to impose itself as the only valid way of proceeding. Other anthropological studies that explore the meaning of rivers for different societies are also mentioned. [Extracted from the article]

Objective -- The praxeology recognized by some theorists as the relevance of the results of the research process for managerial and academic practice, is evidenced by others as absent. The purpose of this paper is to propose an evaluation of the results of the research process in management, particularly in the "doctoral theses" in management in Colombia over the last 9 years, from a reflexive approach as the epistemology of human sciences and critical performativity that allows us to answer the question: What is the level of knowledge praxeology generated in doctoral theses in management in Colombia? Methodology/Technique --The work proposes to start with an exploratory sequential approach to identify the categories of praxeological focus in the literature and theses. Then, a strategy of quantitative evaluation of the observable aspects in the theses is designed. Finally, the strategy is applied to the theses and the results are documented. Findings & Novelty -- The current scope of this proposal is limited to the information that will be collected in the observation of doctoral theses. The results should be interpreted considering this restriction. This proposal presents an approach to interpret the praxeological focus from the functionalist explanation to the comprehensive in doctoral research in management where the traditional scheme has been positivism.

This paper offers academic community the relevant results given by a research project -DIS 968- conducted by MEMPED research group at FAEDIS -Facultad de Estudios a Distancia- in "Nueva Granada" Military University, whose goal was to identify and typify a formative research of official training programs in Military Science, Aeronautics Administration, Naval Administration, and Police Administration involved in Colombian Army and Police. In this regard, methodology used by the research group started from two approaches, i.e. documentary and ethnographic techniques linked to a structural triangulation from a descriptive-documentary approach and interviews to supplement specificities and particularities of programs analysed. Findings offer basically a functional description of officers' "training and research" structure, the teaching tools to improve formative research, and finally the constituents to identify the research culture of each school. Finally, theoretical, teaching and didactical instruments are dynamically described to characterize the formative research from each school and a proposal to build a second stage, which outlines a knowledge management model, bringing together a brain capital, a relational capital and a knowledge capital, typical of officers' training programs of Colombian Army and Police.
