Abstract
This article is a preview of a doctoral thesis on governance at a privately-run religious university in Argentina between 2020 and 2025. The objective was to identify anticipated meanings in the semantic field of "planning and management strategy." The sample was based on an in-depth interview with a member of the Board of Directors, framed within an intrinsic case study. The methodology used was discourse analysis, following the operations of Magariños de Morentín's logical-operational model. The results revealed three nodes of meaning that reflected a managerial-participatory conception of governance, framed within a Catholic institutional identity.
