Today, information overload and the lack of systems that enable locating employees with the right knowledge or skills are common challenges that large organisations face. This makes knowledge workers to re-invent the wheel and have problems to retrieve information from both internal and external resources. In addition, information is dynamically changing and ownership of data is moving from corporations to the individuals. However, there is a set of web based tools that may cause a major progress in the way people collaborate and share their knowledge. This article aims to analyse the impact of ‘Web 2.0’ on organisational knowledge strategies. A comprehensive literature review was done to present the academic background followed by a review of current ‘Web 2.0’ technologies and assessment of their strengths and weaknesses. As the framework of this study is oriented to business applications, the characteristics of the involved segments and tools were reviewed from an organisational point of view. Moreover, the ‘Enterprise 2.0’ paradigm does not only imply tools but also changes the way people collaborate, the way the work is done (processes) and finally impacts on other technologies. Finally, gaps in the literature in this area are outlined.

Actualmente, não existem ferramentas open source de Business Intelligence (BI) para suporte à gestão e análise financeira nas empresas, de acordo com o sistema de normalização contabilística (SNC). As diferentes características de cada negócio, juntamente com os requisitos impostos pelo SNC, tornam complexa a criação de uma Framework financeira genérica, que satisfaça, de forma eficiente, as análises financeiras necessárias à gestão das empresas. O objectivo deste projecto é propor uma framework baseada em OLAP, capaz de dar suporte à gestão contabilística e análise financeira, recorrendo exclusivamente a software open source na sua implementação, especificamente, a plataforma Pentaho. Toda a informação contabilística, obtida através da contabilidade geral, da contabilidade analítica, da gestão orçamental e da análise financeira é armazenada num Data mart. Este Data mart suportará toda a análise financeira, incluindo a análise de desvios orçamentais e de fluxo de capitais, permitindo às empresas ter uma ferramenta de BI, compatível com o SNC, que as ajude na tomada de decisões.

The importance of Social Responsibility (SR) is higher if this business variable is related with other ones of strategic nature in business activity (competitive success that the company achieved, performance that the firms develop and innovations that they carries out). The hypothesis is that organizations that focus on SR are those who get higher outputs and innovate more, achieving greater competitive success. A scale for measuring the orientation to SR has defined in order to determine the degree of relationship between above elements. This instrument is original because previous scales do not exist in the literature which could measure, on the one hand, the three classics sub-constructs theoretically accepted that SR is made up and, on the other hand, the relationship between SR and the other variables. As a result of causal relationships analysis we conclude with a scale of 21 indicators, validated scale with a sample of firms belonging to the Autonomous Community of Extremadura and it is the first empirical validation of these dimensions we know so far, in this context.

Words are the smallest units of messages. Attention should be given to each word used to be sure it is the most effective one. An effective word is one that the receiver will understand and that will elicit the wanted response. The ability to choose words by (a) using a dictionary and a thesaurus and (b) following some of the principles of business communication described in this text can be improved.

"Las Finanzas, como disciplina académica, nacen a caballo entre los siglos XIX y XX. Sin duda el importante desarrollo industrial de la época y la necesidad de empresas de mayores dimensiones llevaron a un creciente interés por las concentraciones empresariales como fusiones y adquisiciones. También aumentó el interés por los mercados donde se financiaban estas empresas cada vez mayores. Y esto, aunque sucedía en diversas partes del mundo, estaba ocurriendo de forma especial en Estados Unidos, de manera que allí fue donde nacieron las finanzas, y donde se han seguido desarrollando. De esta manera, desde un comienzo, las finanzas tienen un claro sello anglosajón." [introdução]
