Dealing with abnormal business growth by leveraging local area common goods: an outside-in stakeholder collaboration perspective
2020
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to illustrate how for a business located in a local area that does not portray the characteristics of the “Silicon Valley” stereotype, developing a strategy that pretends to autonomously set its boundary spanning may lead to unsustainable growth.Design/methodology/approachThis work suggests Dynamic Performance Management (DPM) as a method to implement an outcome-based view of sustainable development of small- and micro-sized organizations in their own context. A case study shows how collaboration between the public and the business sector may improve local area's outcomes and develop common goods in the context.FindingsAmong the “abnormally-grown” small-a…
La gamificación como herramienta para reducir los accidentes laborales viales en pymes y autónomos
2018
El uso del vehículo constituye un medio de transporte imprescindible para muchos trabajadores, que lo utilizan para sus desplazamientos a sus lugares de trabajo o en el desarrollo de su actividad profesional. Actualmente en España el 13,45% de los accidentes laborales son de tráfico, siendo importante para su prevención invertir en formación e incorporar la cultura de la seguridad vial como parte de la actividad corriente de la organización. En este trabajo se propone el uso de la gamificación como herramienta para la formación y concienciación de los trabajadores autónomos y pymes en el esfuerzo por reducir el número de accidentes laborales viales en sus organizaciones. Para ello se descri…
The Clusters - Collaborative Models of Sustainable Regional Development
2014
Abstract The clusters are the subject of actions and of whole series of documents issued by national and international organizations, and, based on experience, many authorities promote the idea that because of the clusters, competitiveness increases, the workforce specializes, regional businesses and economies grow. The present paper is meant to be an insight into the initiatives of forming clusters in Romania. Starting from a comprehensive analysis of the development potential offered by each region of economic development, we present the main types of clusters grouped according to fields of activity and their overall objectives
In vitro models for the prediction of in vivo performance of oral dosage forms: Recent progress from partnership through the IMI OrBiTo collaboration
2019
The availability of in vitro tools that are constructed on the basis of a detailed knowledge of key aspects of gastrointestinal (GI) physiology and their impact on formulation performance and subsequent drug release behaviour is fundamental to the success and efficiency of oral drug product development. Over the last six years, the development and optimization of improved, biorelevant in vitro tools has been a cornerstone of the IMI OrBiTo (Oral Biopharmaceutics Tools) project. By bringing together key industry and academic partners, and by linking tool development and optimization to human studies to understand behaviour at the formulation/GI tract interface, the collaboration has enabled …
La remuneración por desempeño en el ámbito educativo público
2017
La labor de los maestros de escuela es un trabajo complejo y difícil de evaluar. No obstante, existen varias propuestas para evaluar el trabajo de los maestros y vincular el salario a la calidad de la docencia impartida. En este estudio se analizan las diferentes posibilidades para evaluar la docencia: i) la evaluación de conductas de los maestros (evaluación del desempeño) ii) Retribuir al maestro dependiendo de las notas obtenidas por sus alumnos en exámenes estatales (retribución por cumplimiento de objetivos). Desde esta perspectiva se analiza las ventajas e inconvenientes de los dos sistemas y cómo diseñar un sistema retributivo que distinga los buenos de los malos profesores de forma …

2009
Purpose of this paper: The aim of this paper is to explore the possibility of improving production indicators by implementing Kaizen Events. The teams are composed of both managers and operators with the aim of developing and/or implementing improvements in a period of from 3 to 5 days. Methodology: The empirical research will consist of the description of the results obtained in 11 industrial companies from the automotive components industry In each of the companies, we have followed up different interventions over a 9-12 month period. Findings: We shall present the initial situation; the activities carried out by the company and the evolution of the manufacturing performance approximately…
Looking for a virtuous pattern of growth. Some insights for discussion
2016
Este artículo busca arrojar un poco más de luz en el actual debate «manufacturas frente a servicios» y su papel en el crecimiento económico, tomando como punto de partida la Comunicación de la CE Por un Renacimiento Industrial Europeo. Se presentan dos criterios para evaluar las razones que justifican el apoyo a determinados sectores económicos (ya sea manufacturas o servicios): 1. la capacidad de generar empleo y 2. la capacidad de presentar un crecimiento positivo de la productividad. El artículo evalúa las manufacturas y los servicios en función de estos dos criterios, utilizando la base de datos PREDICT, caracterizada por su elevada desagregación sectorial. La conclusión a la que se lle…
Co-teaching as a context for teachers' professional learning and joint knowledge construction
2012
Abstract The study examined two primary teachers' professional learning and joint knowledge construction in the context of co-teaching. The teachers narrated their learning as a collaborative process with serendipitous origins. Shared knowledge construction was crucial in the learning process, as was implementing the resulting new ideas in practice. It is concluded that experiences of co-teaching may support teachers in meeting their professional responsibilities effectively. Professional development programmes need to be sensitive to teachers' individual and collaborative learning experiences to be able better to support them in the natural context of those experiences in particular local …
Il progetto dell’esistente e il restauro del paesaggio. Chiaramonte Gulfi: continuare un mondo
2017
Il volume presenta i lavori del 10° Laboratorio Internazionale di Architettura Chiaramonte Gulfi: continuare un mondo, che si è tenuto dal 25 agosto al 07 settembre 2014 nell’ex Chiesa di Santa Teresa nel centro del ragusano. Dal 2002 i LId’A (Laboratorio Internazionale d’Architettura) sono stati eventi culturali e scientifici che si sono svolti in località diverse dell’Italia Meridionale e hanno visto la partecipazione di docenti, architetti, artisti, intellettuali, italiani e stranieri, invitati a dare i loro contributi, teorici e progettuali, sulle tematiche che i luoghi stessi presentavano, attivando uno scambio di esperienze tra storie e culture diverse.
Remote, web-based laboratory for Programmable Logic Devices
2009
Abstract This work proposes a web-based laboratory for remotely testing FPGA programs on an evaluation board. Using a web browser, the user can download a device configuration file (previously generated with the FPGA commercial tool) and test it in a real FPGA board located in a remote laboratory at the University facilities. The user can control inputs and check outputs’ state. This preliminary study tries to evaluate the possibilities that can be offered to the user, and the restrictions that might apply. Additionally, it describes the proposed infrastructure (hardware and software) needed to successfully deal with all the interesting features that a remote lab system for programmable log…
