Gestion del Conocimiento-Knowledge Management

La Oficina de Cooperación Universitaria, OCU, ha iniciado la distribución del libro Tendencias Universidad 2020. Se trata del informe final del proyecto de prospectiva que lleva ese mismo nombre, que ha sido coordinado por OCU y ha contado con la participación de numerosos expertos en el ámbito de la educación superior de varios países. En el libro se reflejan las opiniones de los expertos con relación a distintos temas concernientes al futuro de las universidades, tanto desde el punto de vista de las áreas de gestión (gobierno universitario, docencia, gestión académica, gestión económica, investigación, etc.), como desde el punto de vista de aspectos estratégicos que inciden de forma transversal en esa gestión universitaria, como por ejemplo, la internacionalización, calidad, cooperación y movilidad, entre otros. El estudio se ha realizado siguiendo la Metodología Delphi, en la que un grupo de expertos opina sobre unas hipótesis específicas y se sigue una dinámica de consultas posteriores a un grupo más amplio de personas.

A disruptive technology or disruptive innovation is an innovation that helps create a new market and value network, and eventually goes on to disrupt an existing market and value network. The term is used in business and technology literature to describe innovations that improve a product or service in ways that the market does not expect.

Almost 30 years ago, researchers began a systematic study of innovation by end users and user firms. At that time, the phenomenon was generally regarded as a minor oddity. Today, it is clear that innovation by users, generally openly shared, is a very powerful and general phenomenon.

Este blog nace de una afición personal: Las infografías. La primera vez que ví una me pareció algo fabuloso, un modelo de plasmar la información concreto, visual y gráfico. He de reconocer que me he convertido en una especie de coleccionista de infografías. Mi objetivo es compartir esta afición con todos vosotros publicando una infografía al día. Espero poder conseguirlo y llegar a tener una buena biblioteca de estas pequeñas obras de arte. Si queréis colaborar en el blog, podéis mandarme vuestras infografías a javier @ unainfografiaaldia . com

Information graphics, visual representations of data known as infographics, keep the web going these days. Web users, with their diminishing attention spans, are inexorably drawn to these shiny, brightly coloured messages with small, relevant, clearly-displayed nuggets of information. They're straight to the point, usually factually interesting and often give you a wake-up call as to what those statistics really mean.

"The disintermediation based on the digital technology has transformed different environments, from banking to media, education and sales. This paper explores a new kind of disintermediation or re-intermediation; also called cyberintermediation. The paper analyses how the revolution of information and communication technologies provides new alternatives of disintermediation in the generation and distribution of knowledge. The authors raise questions such as: To what extent is this phenomenon reshaping the traditional role of the university? Will it cause a crisis in the educational institutions? Will this disintermediation of the education evolve towards the disappearance of institutions like schools and universities? The researchers propose a table that integrates and recombines the knowledge generation and knowledge distribution dimensions with Boyer's key functions of scholarship. Finally, the concept of knowledge broker is introduced to enrich the discussion about reintermediation. Beyond the prophecies, which announce the "death of the university", the authors discuss and suggest new agents, actions and transactions that are useful to think about the educational institution of the new century".

En su último libro -Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation (2010)- Johnson nos lleva al mundo de la innovación, un universo poblado por inventores y creadores de todo tipo. Inspirado desde la primera página por los modelos biológico-evolutivos, Johnson se propone el ambicioso objetivo de explicar cómo y por qué surgieron las grandes innovaciones que cambiaron el mundo. Compartiendo muchos argumentos con el reciente libro de Kevin Kelly ("What Technology Wants"), Johnson no construye un amplio fresco a 360º como Kelly sino que prefiere centrarse en el tema de la emergencia de nuevas ideas.

The Convergence Culture Consortium (C3) explores the ways the business landscape is changing in response to the growing integration of content and brands across media platforms and the increasingly prominent roles that consumers are playing in shaping the flow of media. C3 connects researchers and thinkers from MIT's Comparative Media Studies program with companies looking to understand new strategies for doing business in a converging media environment. The consortium provides insights into new ways to relate to consumers, manage brands, and develop engaging experiences, strategies to cut through an increasingly cluttered media environment and benefit from emerging cultural and technological trends. We aim to expand the role of industry leaders by bridging the gap between academic and market research; Partners gain access to both broad-perspective thought leadership and focused analysis on events and campaigns.

As Google's employee #16, Susan Wojcicki has learned a thing or two about innovation. Here's what she's learned, and what she continues to work on. ILLUSTRATION BY Robert Samuel Hanson The greatest innovations are the ones we take for granted, like light bulbs, refrigeration and penicillin.

Posted by Iris Moreno Roca on July 2, 2012 in Asistentes Virtuales, Internet, Marketing, Teletrabajo | ∞ Hola, como están, no dejen de leer nuestro artículo anterior: Asistentes Virtuales: Como Gestionar tu Reputacion Digital En el Ciberespacio y el mundo del Teletrabajo, todo evoluciona vertiginosamente y también Google, el más importante de los Buscadores, se está poniendo a la altura de la Web Semántica, teniendo a la inteligencia artificial, como protagonista.

Hace un par de años atrás crear una infografía necesitaba, además de tiempo, de una habilidad especial en el manejo de programas como Photoshop. Hoy en día eso ha cambiado totalmente. Hoy existen herramientas y recursos gratuitos que nos permiten crear infografías deuna forma muy fácil y rápida.

cada día sigue evolucionado, ya no es simplemente una impresionante investigación y que con base en ello se realice un escrito. Los usuarios de Internet están experimentando la capacidad llamar la atención.

Futurists and innovators can teach each other lessons to help their ideas succeed. Innovators and futurists ought to have a symbiotic relationship. Often, they do not. The futurist aims to help us understand how trends and events will shape the future, so that we can chart our business and policy courses to bring us to a future that most appeals to us. The innovator, on the other hand, aims to realize a possible future by getting ideas (i.e., possibilities for the future) adopted as practice in our communities. Many would-be innovators ask in frustration, Why do my own good ideas often go by the wayside and other people's bad ideas get adopted? Why do I invest enormous time and resources to systematically generate new ideas, only to see much of my effort go to waste? Leaders in all fields fret and fume over these questions. They want to improve their innovation success rates. Increasing success and reducing wasted effort on the path to innovation are very important goals. Many people believe innovation is the key to economic development, technological progress, competitiveness, and business survival. Policies that enhance a nation's ability to be innovative are constantly in public discussion and are hot topics among politicians and business leaders. Futurists collaborating with innovators can contribute to these goals. I have been investigating these questions for many years and have learned many things that I wish I knew when I was younger. Based on these investigations, my colleague, Robert Dunham, and I wrote a book, The Innovator's Way (MIT Press, 2010, innovators-way.com). I will share here some excerpts from the book as a guide for innovators-and futurists-who are trying to get their ideas adopted.
