He raises the use of "technological innovation" rescuing this concept as a best practice of globalization. This question as a challenge to the universities to transform the learning process from the logic of the "technological literacy" as a spearhead to develop applied and interdisciplinary research lines taking the 'fight against poverty' as the central focus, in order to mitigate the adverse effects brought about by globalization to the base of the social pyramid, especially in the third and fourth world countries.
