Megatrends as a factor of innovation and their influence on sustainability from a university perspective

Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze the influence of innovation on the social, economic, and environmental dimensions that make up the sustainability of a higher education institution in Sonora from the student perspective.This turns out to be quantitative cross-sectional of a non-experimental and correlational nature, the results are analyzed the effects that innovation has on the dimensions of sustainability through a structural equation model in the Smart PLS statistical program.In addition to this, higher education students were chosen as part of the sample, since these turn out to be one of the main interest groups that are dedicated to addressing sustainability, as well as the main clients of the innovation processes that They develop within organizations, in this particular case, universities. Likewise, it was defined that the type of sampling applied was non-probabilistic for convenience. The above has the intention of contributing to the stock of scientific knowledge and reducing the knowledge gap between both variables, identifying the need to continue developing research based on it, as well as exposing empirical references for future experts interested in the same lines of research.
