Margarita University is a young institution, created at the end of 1999, and was born under an organizational conception that characterizes it as an open, dynamic and flexible social system, functionally linked to a broader system (society), which constitutes its environment, willing to change, and internally articulated through functionally integrated subsystems, with specific interactions among its participants. Margarita University has adopted the systemic model as its basic management scheme. The fundamental notion of a system is simply that it is a series of interrelated parts working synergistically. It provides a framework for viewing the internal and external factors of the institution as an integrated whole. The main purpose of adopting this systemic model and a strategic direction of the institution is to increase its capacity to respond to social demand, with characteristics of quality, relevance, effectiveness and efficiency.
